Chapter 49. Bestie and Beyond
Friends will be there
They will have your back You know that you will too - Jacqueline
It has been a week since I became a married woman, pregnant, and trying to convince myself that I'd be a good mom and excellent wife for my husbands. I've been taking the time and adjust myself to the new situation. There was a change in dynamics in my circle of friends, somehow being married changes everything.
Ella my old neighbor who's also the twins' younger sister had been busy with her famous author husband, Benji my ex-roommate was happily playing house with his little family, and Gemma, Ella's cousin and previously her roommate, was still busy working overtime with her boss. By overtime, she probably meant sexy times. I was thankful that I still had Remy in town, luckily Ghazi had business in the city and they will stay hopefully longer this time cause I need my Remy in between my now controlled pregnancy hormones and the overbearing twins.
Grady was the worst, not that Percy was better. I'd say Percy had been more tolerable than Grady with his constant questions regarding me taking my vitamins and making sure that I ate three times a day. Then there were questions about what I was doing and making sure that I don't exhaust myself.
"I should really do something with my time or I'd go crazy with the twins." I declared as I sit my ass down in the posh cafe where Remy and I decided to meet.
"Well good morning to you too darling," he got up and kissed my cheek adoringly making me giggle before sitting back down.
"See... you just made me feel ten times better, I'm telling you... don't go get pregnant and married twins."
Remy almost spilled his coffee before telling me that he was happy with Ghazi. "And I don't have the tools to get myself pregnant so I'm safe in that department." But there was a sadness in his eyes just before he quickly masked it by asking me about my plans for the day.
"Wait, back up... I saw it," I said peering into his eyes wanting to get the real truth if something was bothering my best buddy I will make it my pregnancy project to help him.
"It's nothing, well... I truly hope It's nothing."
"What's the matter?" I asked again putting my hand on his trying to comfort the man.
"Well, after your collaring ceremony Larissa managed to convince Ghazi in trying out one of their suites and the amenities entail," he paused, I could see that he was trying to compose himself. Whatever he was about to say next, I could see that it was taking a toll on him. And the number of days he had gone without venting, made me worry for him.
"Before you and I were abducted, Ghazi and I were having issues. I thought those issues were gone after we were reunited, but then what happened at the sex club made me worry, about us." He paused again before he continued, "we had a threesome, and he was loving it. I could tell that Ghazi was very uninhibited towards the younger man. Maybe, maybe I'm getting older? maybe he favors the younger man, oh God... Jacqueline, I love the man so fucking much. I don't know what I'd do if he dumped me."
My tears fell for him, Ghazi and Remy were one of the perfect couples I've come to know since their early stage of the relationship. I was there the first time Ghazi took notice of him and they clicked instantly.
"I will take you in if he did that, oh... Remy, I know Ghazi loves you, very much, I can see it in his eyes." I know my words were true, I was convinced that there was something wrong with Remy's words.
"We haven't had sex since that night."
"Oh fuck..." my mouth blurted out a curse.
"I know," he sighed. "Anyway, enough about me. I don't know what I'm going to do about it, so I'm just going to wait it out. Maybe it's his work and I'm just reading too much into it. Every relationship has its bumps, right?" he smiled but I could see that he was still heavy with his thoughts."
"Well, what do you say if we go back to my place, watch some shitty shows and eat a lot of ice cream?" it was the least I could offer, I know I wouldn't want to be in public when my emotion was all over the place.
"Alright, but I won't make our meet about me, okay? I need a diversion, at least knowing that you're also miserable with your adorable twin daddies will make my day bearable."
We laughed and talked about current occurrences and new books that he read all the way back to the penthouse. We lounged by the pool before the sun got too hot then moved to the living room, each with a pint of triple chocolate fudge ice cream before I rest on his side and we snuggled in front of the television and enjoy some bad TV shows.
By the time Remy went back to Ghazi's, I was having the worst insecurity yet. Those guys were in love and now Remy was saying otherwise. What if one day that would be me? And my fucked up mind takes it further as I thought about their needs. I was just one person in a poly relationship, what if one day they decided that I was not enough for them.
What if after having their baby I became fat and sexually undesirable to them? I know it's really low of me to think of them like that, but Percy and Grady are gorgeous, aside from their wealth women will flock easily and with their networth, I was sure some women would even plot my demise to be the next Mrs. Bennet.
The thoughts were carried through my dream, I nap a lot since my pregnancy and usually, I feel better afterward, all the tiredness would be gone. But the nightmare woke me up, it shocked me to the point that I was still sobbing when Grady stepped into my bedroom. After the renovation I was still not used to the huge bed, I don't like sleeping alone whenever the guys were not there, so I would nap in my room. "Jacqueline, are you okay, baby?"
"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare." I hold him tight as he sits on the side of the bed. He joined me and wrapped his arms around my body but I still couldn't make myself stop crying. "... just hold me and say that you love me."
"I do love you,"
"Forever?"
"Forever, wifey, tell me what happened when you meet with Remy?"
I pouted but let him kiss my forehead, of course, the man knew that I met with Remy, and of course, he'd suspect that my current state was affected by my recent meet. "Where's Percy?"
"He got stuck on a meeting, he should be home after dinner. Do you want to pick the menu for our dinner?"
"No, you can choose, I'm good with the nausea. I'm not going to be picky."
Grady pulled me to his lap and rest his chin on the top of my head while his other hand was rubbing my tummy. I leaned on him and decided to tell him about my nightmare.
"Wifey, we will love you no matter how fat you'd get, and when you're getting too fat and risking your health that's when we will interfere because I'm sure as hell not ready to lose you. I mean it when I said my vows and I know Percy does too."
His answer hits all the right places. I told him I was fat and they both walked out on me taking our kids with them and I was sent to Siberia. I still don't get why that city kept on looming over my mind.
"So, you mentioned about kids, how many did you see?" there was a lightness in his voice, somehow telling me that my wary was unnecessary, that they truly love me for who I am.
"Oh, God... I think that's what made me cry the hardest. We had seven and you both take them all!"
The man laughed and laughed and laughed until I slapped his chest feeling annoyed with his reaction. "Oh, wifey... I love you so much! I will tell Percy about your dream, we have a lot of work in our future." "What? that's the thing that you're going to focus on? not about me being fat?"
"Baby, bring it on, all I can say is the more parts we can adore the better." He pushed me down and started showering me with his sweet kisses and I was moaning within seconds.
"I just read this article on my way back home, one of those dads-to-be guidelines for sex. Anyway it stated that your vulva will become more sensitive during pregnancy," his voice dropped lower, sexier, huskier and I was a goner when he kept on talking, "... the friction will drive her mad, so... let's try that theory out."
I was not ready to see a pack of condoms and lube appear from my side table. Huh, he must've put them there when I was busy crying my eyes out.
"Why the condom?" I asked thinking that there was going to be another explanation from the online article.
"It's ribbed, for extra friction and lube for extra fun." He bit his lip trying to be sexy and it only made me laugh at him instead. But then he made sure that my laughter turns into moans the second he undresses both of us and seathed his erection. He was right, it didn't take long and there wasn't even any penetration. I was so damn sensitive that the friction from the ribbed condom sets my orgasm, hard. He made sure I was thoroughly satisfied before he jerk himself while staring at my naked sated body. His cum smeared my thigh and he took me to the shower afterward.
"I can get used to this," I said leaning in into his touch.
"Me too, wifey, this is our forever."
