AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien took Roxane to the prenatal exam. The doctor said the fetus was normal and the mother-to-be was healthy. She just had to pay attention to a balanced diet.

The experts Jonas found also consulted Roxane. For the moment, there was no problem with Roxane’s condition. However, when she was older, the burden that the twins would place on the pregnant woman could cause her old illness to relapse and her life would be in danger.

The experts’ opinions were the same as what Sebastien had said at the beginning. Abandoning one child and keeping only one was the best choice.

Roxane shook her head several times. She did not want to abandon her children. She had to keep them both.

Sebastian knew that although she looked obedient and cute, she was stubborn in her bones. Once she made a decision, she wouldn’t change her mind.

It was like that when she went to France, and now she was pregnant.

He could only ask the doctor to think of another solution.

The doctor suggested they wait until the due date and perform a cesarean section in advance to avoid putting the pregnant woman’s life in danger. However, an early C-section was not a good thing for the baby. After all, it hadn’t come to an end yet.

Roxane wanted to refuse, but Sebastien spoke first.

– Would you like to do a cesarean section in advance or get rid of it now?

His tone was firm and unquestionable.

In the end, Roxane compromised and chose to perform a C-section in advance. This way at least the two babies could be saved, but they would have to suffer.

Sebastien also informed Joel and Sabrina of this decision. They respected the young man’s decision and knew it was the best outcome.

……

Because she was pregnant with twins, Roxane’s belly was growing very quickly. By the time she was three months pregnant, she couldn’t even wear her old clothes.

Sebastien had bought her maternity clothes.

Roxane looked at her full belly every day and was worried.

– Seb, my belly is already so big at three months. Do you think it will explode in two months?

Sebastien was weeding the vegetables in the garden and said without looking up:

– No, don’t let your thoughts run wild.

Roxane pursed her lips.

– But my stomach is so big. Will I have a lot of stretch marks after giving birth? Will I look ugly? Are you going to hate me then?

Sebastian put down the hoe, walked over, crouched in front of her and kissed her bulging belly through her clothes.

– It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin, if you have stretch marks or whatever, I will always love you.

His dark eyes were full of gentleness and love as he looked at her. It was love that came from the depths of his soul.

Roxane had been a little worried and uncomfortable at first, but her mood immediately improved after hearing his words.

– Seb…

– What?

She smiled shyly.

– I’m hungry. I want to eat snacks.

Sebastien remained silent.

– Haven’t you just finished the cookies?

Roxane pointed to her stomach.

– It’s not me who wants to eat. It’s your daughters who want to eat.

Sebastien glanced at him and went to wash his hands.

-How do you know they’re girls? maybe a son?

The dream flashed in Roxane’s mind and the smile on her face grew.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

– I think it’s a girl. A woman’s sixth sense is very precise.

Sebastien did not argue with her and entered the house to bring her snacks.

Roxane couldn’t stand hunger, so he specially asked someone to prepare a lot of snacks by hand. They were all imported raw materials and the sugar content was controlled, so it was okay even if she ate more.

By the time Roxane was five months pregnant, the vegetable garden was already fully grown. She almost didn’t need to go out to buy vegetables and could eat the fresh fruits and vegetables she grew herself every day.

Jonas said he couldn’t come, but he still couldn’t help but bring a lot of nutritional supplements to see her.

Roxane’s belly was big and she recently had pregnancy reactions. She felt like vomiting when she smelled the oil and smoke. She couldn’t even see the meat dishes on the dining table, let alone cook.

Jonas could only eat vegetables. Before leaving, he went to his uncle’s house to buy some fresh fish.

Roxane may not be able to do it, but Ms. Alvarez could!

After Jonas left, Roxane looked at Sebastien with a deep look in her eyes.

Sebastien coughed lightly, touched the tip of his nose and said:

-You can’t be tired now that you’re pregnant. We will talk about it after the birth.

– Painting is not tiring.

Roxane’s clear voice rang out, Seb, you must keep your word! You’re going to be a father soon, so you should be a role model for babies!

Sebastien remained silent for a long moment. He scratched his eyebrows and silently compromised.

The afternoon sun was blocked by the curtains and only an orange floor lamp was lit in the room. The light was soft and ambiguous.

Sebastien took off all his clothes, leaving only the last item of clothing covering his body. He sat uncomfortably on the sofa, and even his expression was very stiff.

Roxane spoke to him while she traced the lines.

– Seb, are you nervous?

He looked up and looked at her. He gritted his teeth so hard they were on the verge of shattering, but he said nothing.

– You can simply find a comfortable position to lie down or sleep.

Roxane spoke to him because she didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable.

Sebastian was lying on his side on the couch, looking at her with his dark eyes full of burning desire.

He had always held absolute power in bed, but he never thought that one day he would become a fish on a hard place, so helpless.

Roxane chatted with him while drawing to distract his attention.

-Have you thought about the names of the babies?

“No, I didn’t,” he replied nonchalantly.

“Then you’d better hurry up and think about it, otherwise I’ll really have to ask them to be easygoing.

Sebastien’s blond lips curled slightly.

– If you are not afraid that your parents will pull your ears, then shout.

Roxane sniffed.

-Mom and Dad can’t stand pulling my ears. I’ll tell them you named it and let them pull your ears.

Perhaps Roxane’s conversation had worked, Sebastien gradually relaxed and lay down naturally on the sofa, even showing his muscles.

Roxane drew very seriously and said nothing else.

Time passed little by little, and both enjoyed the peace and warmth of this moment.

Suddenly, Roxane’s brush stopped and she frowned.

Sebastian quickly stood up, grabbed the robe next to him and wrapped it around his body as he walked towards her.

– What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable standing there too long?

He crouched down and looked into her eyes, his expression nervous and worried.

Roxane shook her head. When she turned to him, her eyes were full of joy.

-I just felt them move.

– Fetal movement?”m

She nodded and placed her hand on her stomach.

– They are moving again.

Sebastien’s warm palm gently caressed her stomach. Even through his clothes, he could clearly feel the force hitting his palm.

It was like… A high-five!

It was a wonderful feeling. Sebastien’s face was full of surprise.

– They really move.

Usually babies had fetal movements at four months old, but the two little guys in her belly seemed very lazy and still didn’t want to move.

If the doctor hadn’t said the baby was very healthy, they would have been worried about them.

It was also the first time that Roxane felt fetal movement. His eyes couldn’t help but become wet and hot.

– Seb, our daughters greet us.

– Yes.

Sebastian nodded and gently stroked her stomach with his palm. His deep, cold voice softened unconsciously.

– Be good, don’t be so mean. It’s too hard for mom.

The more he realized the value of a new life, the more he cherished Roxane.

The two little guys probably heard Sebastian’s words, and they symbolically moved several times before stopping moving.

Sebastien’s gaze also moved from Roxane to the drawing board…
