“Yes, Dad?”
“She just called me now. She says she is in pain. I don’t want to leave her hanging, nor do I want to do the same to you. So I’ve decided that you should follow me to her house. At least, that way, you don’t have to be alone, and we can all find a way to get used to each other.
I hoped that would be enough to convince him.
“Nah, Dad. I understand. I’ll be fine. I was about to go out to see my friends once we finished the celebrations. I will just go on ahead to see them while you take care of her. Thanks for the love, Dad. Your feeling about this is all that matters to me. I’m happy you’re proud of me!”
Will hugged me and left the house in a second. I could not even say anything. I just watched him leave, thankful that he was not as angry as I expected. I got up, looked around the house to be sure all was in order, and moved out to see Claire, the pregnant beauty in my life. I only hoped it would be easier after she finally gave birth to our child.
Chapter Seventeen
Claire
WhenJonahcameback,my mind was finally back at rest. When he wasn't around earlier, I felt restless and it felt like the little pains I felt inside were aggravated.
I was already so used to Jonah that it seemed like we were married already. Even my aunt, Pauline, saw me a little less than he did nowadays. I didn't know how he got so close to me. It just happened.
I watched Jonah make tea for me. It looked so sexy and lovely. I could have sat there watching him all day. When he looked over at me from where he worked, I felt like I would melt anytime then. He had such a strong hold over me that I could not think of a life without him. It was so difficult. So difficult.
"My son looks jealous whenever I talk about you nowadays. I don't blame him. I spend so much time on you nowadays that I can't imagine spending it on anything else."
Jonah looked so sincere and I wondered if he was having a rift with his son because of me. That was the last thing I desired, even though his attention was something I didn't want to lose.
"Maybe he just wants all of us to get together as soon as possible. You know, with a boyish mind like his, anything is possible. He may even want us to be married as soon as possible," I reckoned.
"Would you blame him? He needs a family. For most of his life, he has had to live without a family that sticks together. All he's used to is saying goodbyes. I don't blame Will. I blame myself."
I didn't know what to say again at that moment. All I heard from my mouth was a slight wince at the pain that shot up within my insides. That was one thing noticed about pregnancy. The pains were constant and never-ending, but you had to live through them. Each of them came in different intensities that you had to take.
I was expectant of my new child, but I didn't enjoy the pregnancy in any way. The only positive was the extra attention you got from your loved ones. It was not easy for me.
After Jonah prepared the tea, he sat in his chair and stared at me. I didn't feel easy about it because I felt like something uncomfortable was coming.
"Your family. What's up with them? Have they given you their decision about the whole matter? Or they have decided that they will be against us?"
"No, they have not given me a reply. But, to be honest, I'm not too positive about the whole situation. I love you, but you have to be ready to be strong when it gets tough. It may reach the point where I need to follow you over the people I've trusted all of my life. Even my mother seems a completely different person from the woman I always knew."
I had to let it all out because the meeting we had the other time made me look at my parents slightly differently. It was always about their ego, I reckoned. That was the only reason my parent would be willing to turn against their daughter.
I loved my parents so much, so it was surprising when they could not stick their necks out for me when it mattered. At least, for once, they had to drop their ego for a minute. Even if it was for me, it was worth it. I was their only daughter after all.
My parents were such happy people when I was much younger. Mother was in love and Dad was sturdy, a very successful man at his trade at the time. They went on several dates I could still remember and quite a few more before I was even born. I still remember those times when my mother would brag to me about how Dad was the best person in the world.
I grew up with that image of my father, and I never stopped looking at him that way. Even now that he didn't seem to be the man I used to know, I still could not look at him otherwise. But I knew my mother tended to switch at any time. I knew that very well when she left us to stay in North Carolina just because she had a bad fight with Dad.
"Well, I'm happy I still have you regardless of the situation. I hope I never have to lose you, baby, " Jonah said, wrapping me in his arms. I wished he would just reach over and kiss me. I loved him and wish he still treated me with the same brute force he did when I was not pregnant.
That was the one thing I hated about pregnancy. Everyone treated me like I was so fragile. Well, I was fragile, I admit. But they did not have to make it so obvious and demeaning. I felt so weak when everyone focused on me like I was a new baby in a cradle.
Jonah held me from behind and cupped my breasts in his hands. I loved the feeling, but I could not say a word because the pleasure was too much for me to handle. Even if I did, I probably would say a lot of gibberish even if I didn't understand.
"Be hard on me, Jonah. Fuck me in the way I deserve to! " I blurted out. It had always been my desire to get some of him again. He had been avoiding me in that way, probably because he still felt slightly guilty for impregnating me. But it was not him. It was never his fault.
It was all me. I had seduced him that night so he could fall for me. I had watched, nearly stalked him for a long time before he fell into my trap. It was never his fault. It was always me.
Jonah spanked my ass and left me midway through getting a little wet down there for him. He smiled at me and left, saying he had somewhere to go. I was annoyed and I could have sworn that he would never see happiness again at that point, but I simply sucked it up and fell asleep.
Later that night, Jonah took me on a rollercoaster to excess passion, desire, and countless climaxes.
