Free Web NovelChapter 280: His Care For Her
(Two Months Later)
"Oh! Ohhh! Zyy! Wake up! The baby is kicking," Skyla shouted and shook her sleeping husband.
He woke up with a jerk, his arms flailing as he came back to the land of the living where his wife was excitedly calling him.
His sleepy eyes found her excited ones as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her bare belly.
"Here! Can you feel it? It’s like small bubbles floating inside of me," she earnestly informed him.
Zyair’s long fingers rested on her protruding belly as he felt the skin shifting under it. His eyes had broadened fully as his mouth opened in marvel at this miracle.
"I can feel it. She is kicking, she is really kicking," he almost screamed in excitement. His hands lifted more of Skyla’s shirt and held both sides of her round belly. Lowering his head, Zyair pressed his lips into her soft skin, exactly where the baby had been moving.
"Baba is here my little sunshine and he loves you very much. Can’t wait to hold you in my arms." With gentle kisses, he smothered Skyla’s belly making her giggle. Intertwining her fingers with his soft hair, Skyla slowly brushed them back and watched her husband talk so cutely with their kid.
"You are so natural at this Zy. Baby is going to love you."
He lifted his head and placed the tip of his chin on her belly button, watching his beautiful wife who had this glow about her. The pregnancy had given her fluffed cheeks some additional red tinge. He wished to keep pinching them.
"You are glowing, my love. Your cheeks are like ripened cherries. Pregnancy suits you so much and our baby will love us equally." His hand reached out and slowly pulled her right cheek and Skyla let him do as he pleased. Both of them were lost in this priceless moment.
Skyla leaned ahead and placed her soft lips on his forehead.
"I appreciate you so much, my dear husband. I don’t have enough words to express how you make me feel when you stand by my side every step of the way."
Zyair pressed his forehead forward so Skyla’s lips would keep caressing him.
"Well, that’s what husbands do."
"Good husbands, not all husbands," she quietly corrected, making him gently place his head on her belly and entwine his tanned arms around her waist.
"Glad to be part of the good ones," he beamed, closing his eyes. The feeling of being cherished like this and being closer to his wife and unborn child had no alternative.
"Sleep now. You have to go to the office tomorrow."
Skyla had taken leave from the office. Her work was being shared between Mawar and Lawrence. Zyair wanted her to rest as much as she could and with her nausea, she occasionally got exhausted.
Both of them went to sleep after, snuggled comfortably in each other’s arms.

Skyla’s feet had swollen now, and none of her shoes fit anymore. So Zyair brought her nice comfy slippers with white rabbits on them, munching some carrots.
"They are the cutest and so comfortable to wear. Thank you." Skyla slipped her puffy feet inside the slippers and wriggled her toes to let them fit.
"I was slightly afraid they might not be the right size," Zyair confessed, gladly seeing that the shoes were a perfect size.
The seller has been giving him wary looks as well, such a huge man buying cute slippers. He must have found it rather amusing.
"They fit." Skyla threw her arms around Zyair and kissed his cheek, showing her gratitude.
"Anything for you," he said, engulfing her in his arms and gently rubbing her back.
"We have to do breathing exercises today," Skyla told him.
"Let’s get started in five minutes," Zyair led her to their exercise room.
They had their yoga mat in place. Zyair helped her lay down on it for pelvic exercises. Guiding her to raise her back slightly and breathe through her nose.
"That’s my girl, you are doing really well." He held his hands under her back without touching her. Providing her support and yet letting her do it on her own.
He then helped her stand up as erect as possible, with feet and hips-width apart.
"Lift from here, beautiful." Zyair softly touched the upper part of the breast and Skyla took a deep breath in.
"Don’t put too much pressure on your knees, let them remain soft." He lightly touched them and Skyla obeyed, staying in that position and gulping in tons of air, letting her core strengthen.
After the pelvic exercises, they switched to breathing exercises using the power technique of 4-7-8.
Zyair made her sit on a chair with her spine erect straight so her ribcage was lifted.
Holding the timer he said.
"Start!"
Inhaling through the nose for four seconds, Skyla held the breath inside for seven seconds, letting the oxygen be mixed with her blood. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Let go, now," Zyair calmly instructed and Skyla let out a puff of air for 8 seconds. Letting her body slightly relax.
These exercises were good for healthy sleep patterns, and getting maximum oxygen inside the body because she was breathing for two. They were also meant to keep her relaxed and stress-free.
After their routine exercise session, Zyair took her to their room so they could take a bath. Helping her sit down on the bed he proceeded to the bathroom.
He filled the tub with crystal-clear water, keeping the temperature moderate. Zyair checked it with his slim fingers and found the temperature just the right amount.
Exiting the bathroom, Zyair helped Skyla get rid of her oversized sweaty clothes and gently picked her up.
"I can never get used to you picking me up like I weigh nothing," Skyla promptly told him, enjoying being carried in his strong arms which didn’t even shake.
"I love carrying my wife and my baby."
Carrying her inside they entered the filled bathtub. Zyair gently placed her down against the rim of the tub, before settling in behind her.
The water cascaded out and flowed on the tiled floor as both of them comfortably sat in the cool water. Zyair picked up her flowing locks of molten ruby and placed them on her shoulder, baring her smooth back to him.
"Ahh! Nothing like a cool bath after exercise. I was so sweaty." Skyla’s whole body relaxed and she arched her back, taking in a breath to soak in the citrus smell of the body wash Zyair was leathering on the luffa. He foamed it and began to rub it on her wet back.
"Always happy to help in the bathing department." His dexterous hands had the softest touches for her but his voice had edges of cunningness to them. Skyla knew very well how much he loved worshipping and touching her body, especially in the bathtub. She wasn’t complaining though, she loved getting pampered by her husband.
Zyair bathed her fully. He was extra careful with her overly enlarged breasts and the soft part between her legs. Not forgetting to provide her with pleasure with his hand and mouth.
Skyla moaned lewdly when he licked her clean and his slender fingers washed away the last traces of her fluids.
"Now we are done, let’s put you to bed."
Just the way he had carried her inside, he took her out, wrapping her in a towel gown.
"I will grab you some clothes." Seating her on the bed Zyair went to bring comfortable attire for her.
Skyla relaxed and dangled her swollen feet down. They seemed like puffed pastries, so swollen and pudgy.
Zyair brought out a loose nightshirt and a pair of floral PJs. Drying her body and hair with a hand towel, he helped her dress up in the fresh clothes.
Putting away the wet towels the man with raven hair grabbed the hair brush to untangle her tresses and smoothen them out.
The slow strokes of the brush were reassuring as her long crimson hair was straightened out with the thick bristles of the brush.
Zyair then blow-dried them and let her natural curls hang loosely on her back. While Skyla held her belly protectively, staring down at it and wondering what their child was doing.
They had kept the gender as a surprise and it would only be revealed at birth. Unlike Zyair, Skyla was unsure what they were having.
"Here, all done. I will tuck you in bed." Zyair heartily announced, picking her up and placing her head on the fluffy pillow.
"Will you read us the new manga?" Skyla expectantly asked. Every night Zyair had been reading them different mangas in his deep sonorous voice and Skyla loved every second of listening to her husband.
"Of course! Which one do you want today?"
"Spy X Family. I love Anya and her adventures," Skyla enthusiastically announced. She loves the little family they had in it and Zyair was looking forward to having his own Anya soon.
"Spy X Family, it is." Zyair got up and strutted over to the bookshelf on his slim feet and brought the latest edition. Snuggling together with his wife as she rested her head on his chest he began to read in his deep voice and she listened until falling asleep.
