Bewitched His Soul

As soon as Tristan entered the house, he saw Sara waiting in the living room.

"Where is Ava?" he asked.

"She is taking a nap. Mom and dad will come to see her later. I have a meeting to attend, so I'll be leaving now that you are here ", Sara responded.

Tristan nodded and quickly hurried up the stairs.

He slowly opened the door to their bedroom and treaded lightly to where Ava slept. It was extremely quiet, and he could hear his heartbeat in his chest loudly. The journey to get home quickly to his little one was pure torture for him, he felt impatient to see Ava.

His wife was fast asleep, covered with a thick blanket where only her small head could be seen. Her long black hair was scattered on the pillow, her face with its fair skin was soft and tender, but it looked more delicate than before.

Maybe she was dreaming about something good because there was a smile on her lips. Tristan sat next to her and traced her cheek. He was very happy and a little bit emotional, not expecting they would be receiving blessings so soon.

He remembered a few months back while they were watching TV, Ava suddenly mentioned that she wanted to have kids. Tristan was stunned, and he raised his brow, asking her to explain further.

She said that seeing Enzo all the time made her feel that it would be nice to have one of their own, and since they have been married for two years now, it was a good time to get started.

Tristan had been silent for a few minutes. He had always been ready to have kids, but he thought Ava was making progress in her career, and still so young stopped him from pursuing it. He wanted her to enjoy life and not get tied up with any responsibilities. So they had been careful not to get her pregnant. But now that she declared she wanted to have a kid, he had no objections. So that night, he did not use protection and made love to her several times.

He carefully touched her stomach, his kid was there. He had so many mixed emotions, there was contentment and happiness, yet he was also scared that something might go wrong.

He was careful not to apply too much weight, afraid he may hurt her. Pregnant women were not so fragile, but Tristan, who was dealing with this kind of situation for the first time in his life, had no idea how vulnerable pregnant women were.

Ava opened her eyes, and she was surprised to see Tristan sitting beside her.

"Tristan …," she called softly with a smile.

"How are my wife and child? Tristan asked.

"Very good," Ava got up to hug him.

Tristan returned the hug and rubbed her back.

"I missed you," Ava murmured, nuzzling her head on his neck.

"Hmm... that's why I returned so quickly," Tristan replied.

Ava broke the hug and asked, "Tristan, are you happy?"

Happy is a small word for what he was feeling now. Honestly, he felt like he had conquered the world.

"Little one, you are the best thing that ever happened to me," Tristan replied.

Ava giggled and kissed his lips. But Tristan was not satisfied and crushed his lips to hers.

That evening Tristan's grandparents and Ava's parents came to visit as soon as they heard the good news. Since the baby was going to be the first grandchild for both sides of the family, it was a big celebration.

Everyone had their own set of instructions on what the couple should and shouldn't do. For her to eat healthy, nutritious meals, and to visit the hospital for regular checkups.

Since Ava was a little bit naive, everyone was worried she might neglect her health. Grandma even offered to stay, but Tristan declined her offer, saying not to worry as he will appoint a few more maids to watch over her, and he would cut down his work to spend more time with Ava.

Grandma even offered to send her a few herbal tonics which will nourish her body and help her have easy labor. Since the whole family was in the same city, they all agreed with Tristan's suggestion and that they would visit Ava frequently.

In their group chat, Tristan informed his friends that he was going to be a father.

Soon messages of Congratulations flooded their group.

Sara came home late that night, and she was surprised that the food laid out on the dining table remained untouched.

"Blake, didn't I inform you that the meeting would be extended? Why are you waiting for me?" Sara asked.

Blake was sulking and did not reply to his wife's question.

"What happened?" she asked as she sat next to him.

"They'll have a baby in Tristan's house soon," Blake said with a bitter tone.

"Yes, isn't that good news?" Sara replied.

"When will we have one? Blake was annoyed.

Sara understood what he wanted and smiled helplessly, "I am handling a few important projects this year, and most of the time, I will be busy traveling abroad. It is not a good time for me to conceive because I want to spend time with the baby after I give birth, I do not want to leave the baby with the nannies."

When she took over her father's business, everyone was doubtful whether a model could run such a big empire effectively. But Sara was very stubborn and did not give up easily.

Even when someone mocked and ridiculed her or made a mistake in understanding the tenders, she bounced back, stronger than before.

Now since everything was progressing smoothly, she did not want a slope in her career.

"How about I wear my new lingerie tonight?" Sara whispered in his ear.

"Yes please," Blake chuckled.

He knew Sara was a career-oriented woman. In fact, he respected and liked that very much about her. But today, when he saw Tristan's message, he felt a little jealous.

Several times he found Sara at midnight in the study room preparing for the next day's meeting. She had high dreams and wanted to fly high. So he decided to be reasonable and support her.

"Ava is pregnant," Sophia declared as she scrolled through her phone.

"Hmm…," Aiden, who was sitting behind her, did not register what she said, tightened his arms around her waist, and started kissing her neck.

"Did you hear what ….ahhh…," Sophia screamed when he bit her soft spot.

Soon both of their clothes were on the floor, and when Aiden started to ravish Sophia's body, she forgot what she was saying.

Aiden and Sophia were newly married and enjoying their honeymoon phase.. Neither of them was in a hurry to have kids.
