Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Emily was still at the hospital and before night, as the drip in her was about to be done. The doctor came in with a smile on her once again and together with a nurse, both of them were checking Emily’s health.

“Well, there’s nothing wrong for releasing you early today but be sure to come back here or any other hospitals which makes you comfortable, Miss Emily, just make sure that an OB will going to see you tomorrow and do random tests for your safe pregnancy.”

The doctor was smiling at her like a friend, and Emily finds comfort by that. She wanted to see more person like him that would surely make her day lighter than usual.

“Thanks Doctor,” she said and looked at him while the nurse went outside the room.

The Doctor crossed both of his arms and asked casually, “Do you feel any serious pain right now?”

Emily shook her head and smiled at the doctor. She was certain that nothing she was feeling about.

“Except for dizziness,” she whispered, and looked at the doctor in front of her.

“Yes, that’s normal for a pregnant woman like you, especially if you are in the first trimester of your pregnancy.” he stated and wrote things on the file he was holding at.

“Always remember this Miss Emily you have to be careful to yourself from now on ’cause the first trimester of pregnancy was quite dangerous for you and your baby,” the doctor gave her some prescription for her to take whenever she felt ill or not good.

“So, you mean all this because of my pregnancy?” Emily curiously asked the doctor. She does not know about this thing. It was her first and all she could ever do was to be knowledgeable about this.

“Yes, and if other complications may occur, it means that you have to make sure that you are taking care of your body, Miss Emily and take those vitamins starting today, alright?” the doctor smiled and shook his hands with Emily.

Now that she was alone and sitting on the chair was making her dizzy, but she had no choice for now but to be at home before Anders might arrive earlier than her.

Emily went out of the room with the bag that she brought before arriving here at the countryside. The old man looked at her and she just nodded her head and both of them went out of the hospital. She was still trying to figure out on she would say it to him, but sometimes she was torn with the thoughts of hiding it to him.

While she was inside the car, Emily caressed her belly just to feel the child inside of it. She smiled after realizing that sit was her dream to be a mother someday and in the most unexpected way. She crossed both of her arms and looked at the old man and said,

“Thanks for your help,” and smiled at him while getting all her stuff so she would not forget something.

The old man nodded his head and smiled to her. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anything to Mr. Winston. Good day Miss Emily,”

She get off in front of the mansion where she lives and as she turned away from the car she felt dizzy at all. Her vision were blurry and all she could ever think was her bed ’cause right now her body needed rest and sleep.

“Please not now,” she whispered while she was walking at the hallways and the servants were worried about her but she stopped them by raising her hand to them and continued walking toward her room.

She felt relief after opening the door of her room and quickly let her body rest while ignoring the notifications from her phone. But after a while, she grabbed her phone and scroll down messages and missed calls from friends and others.

Sunsets were just a piece of hope to anyone else in this world and all the worries might have gone by the end of the day. A creaking sound of the door was present inside the room and as the light slowly reflecting on her cheeks, and showed her beauty. Someone sat beside her and thumbed her hair. Emily whimpered and felt the warmth of a hand on her cheeks.

“Anders?” she whispered and was trying to open her eyes to see clearly the image in front of her.

“Ssh.. sleep honey, I’ll be right here,”

Emily smiled after hearing his voice once again and just like what he felt earlier, it was comforting to her ears to listen to his voice and this time she whimpered and leaned on his hands. The warmth of it was doing an amazing feeling to her that made her want to lean on it the whole day.

Anders smiled as she stared at Emily being sweet by feeling his hands so, he lay down beside her and let her leaned on his chest.

they both stayed there and felt the warmth of each other and Anders was just staring at the walls and thinking about something that happened yesterday.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered.

Emily whimpered and leaned closer to him. She didn’t mind his words ’cause she felt dizzy until this moment.

“I’m sorry for not telling you that I worked early yesterday.” he explained and caressed her hair.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“How are you feeling now, honey?” he said and looked at her as he knew that she was not feeling well today.

Emily opened her eyes and said, “I’m fine. I just need more sleep, Anders.”

Anders looked at her and asked once again. “Do you need something, like food or anything, honey?”

She strongly shook her head and answered him. “Nothing, I just want to stay here the whole day.”

“But, the servants told me that you are not eating your food. Is there a problem?” he curiously asked

“Nothing, I just want to lie down beside you.” she breathed in deeply and she could still smell his perfume that was the trademark of him ever since they ever crossed their path at the coffee shop.

Her eyes opened when she heard a music playing and saw Anders closed his eyes. She never expected this scene with him ’cause it her first time to hear music over his phone.

A smile appeared on his face and said, “Just don’t judge me by this music.”

Emily widened her eyes after hearing it and suddenly met his eyes and could feel nothing at all but the drumming beat of her chest that was about to explode.

For her being caught by his eyes made her realized that she could do nothing but to bring the moment with him. All his features were perfect for Emily and nothing she could ask for more, but something that made her worry all throughout, especially today.

“I- I just didn’t expect this. I mean you are tough and yet you lisrten to this kind of jazz music?” Emily asked, curiously.

Anders breathed in and washed off her face using his hands and said, “Well, it’s a better way to ease the anger in your mind, right? Besides I’m tired of being at the office and doing the same job all day.”

He hugged her even tighter and smelt the fragrance of her hair. A lavender scent it is and this might be one of his happiest day. Anders knew that it was comforting to him whenever he was with her, most especially whenever he’s lying down on her shoulders.

“So, what makes you angry today?” she asked.

Anders strongly shook his head and closed his eyes once again ’cause as much as possible, he didn’t want to talk about it.

“C’mon tell me, Anders, I might help you with it.” she insisted and looked at him closely.

Anders met her eyes and suddenly kissed her.

“What?! And who told you that you can just kiss me anytime you want?” her cheeks were painted red ’cause of a sudden kiss by him. In fact it was the sweetest and she could not even explain the feeling at all.

She got up from his arms and crossed both of hers and faced on the other side of her room just to avoid his gazed. The heat inside of her was rising and she could not stop it ’cause her body needs him.

Anders wrapped around his arms around her waist and whispered, “I’m sorry, babe.”

His breath was hitting her skin differently, and Emily felt it from within. The warmth embraced from behind made her wanted to sleep.

She shook her head and leaned on his chest once again.

“I’ll forgive you I one condition.”

Anders furrowed his brows without letting go of her and listened carefully to her request.

“Cook the most delicious pasta.” then she smiled and bit her lower lip.

She was not sure if Anders would do it or not, because for her it was just like a simple request that she could easily but it elsewhere. Instead, she let herself to see Anders cooked it for her.
