SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID by KIARI HORSFALL

A Baby And A Family

NINE MONTHS LATER...

Hera sat up on the bed after her long rest. She and Bryce had both decided to officially tie the knot after her delivery which was due anytime soon. She stared at the ring on her finger and the images from that night flooded her memories. She could clearly remember that day as though it were yesterday. Bryce had gotten down on one knee and promised to marry and love her forever.

She guessed that's all there was on marriage and soon after the baby is delivered, they will be joined together as man and wife. She had been feeling down that she would bring a baby into this world without going about it the right way but he had assured her that her fears were valid and had decided to do it right way. The godly way. The thought of that day approaching had her grinning from ear to ear.

Christina and the sisters had paid her a visit as well during the latter stages of her pregnancy. Christina was very ecstatic about being an aunt. She couldn't wait for the day she gave birth. Although busy with exams and juggling through school work, she had made it a duty to communicate with her when she had the time.

Hera was equally excited about the whole thing although sometimes, the contractions made her change her mind. But it all, it was a blissful experience.

Mariam went all out to spoil and take care of her. She made sure to spend a lot of time with her so that she doesn't get bored out of her mind. It was almost like we were close friends now. Everyone was putting in a lot of work for her and she couldn't be more grateful. Everyone kept their fingers crossed cause she'll be due anytime soon. They all made absolutely sure that she never did anything, Bryce inclusive.

"You just need to rest Hera. You'll be due soon and we don't want anything to go wrong."

"Don't touch anything."

"Read a book instead if you're bored." They kept on saying. It was a usual slogan to listen to all the time with Bryce as the orchestrator of the theme slogan. Ben had kept in touch from time to time. He was busy these days with work and travels but he always sent her postcards from every country he visited. It was like a ritual, their own way of communicating even though things hadn't gone as expected between them.

Bryce still doesn't like him and neither does Ben for some reason but they had both found a common ground to walk on. So far the pregnancy had gone well, and she was expecting a baby very soon. life was good.

Hera closed her eyes briefly to relish her thoughts and take them all in then stood up and slowly walked to the balcony of their bedroom. Bryce was in the bathroom and she wasn't sure if he noticed that she was up and walking or he would've scolded her.

Her figure resembled a large pumpkin at the market. She had been eating for two for many months. Two chocolates for her and two for the baby. Like an expectant mother, she had been reading many books to keep herself ready.

As she made her way outside the bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen, she felt a terrible pain shoot through her belly, hurting her insides. She practiced the breathing technique she had learned from her ante-natal classses at the hospital and after a few minutes the contraction was gone.
