Chapter 28 - The heartbeat

Sophia's P.O.V.

I got up and put on my clothes. Today was Xander's birthday. We were celebrating his birthday today together. We were going to celebrate with our parents tomorrow. Xander was sleeping and I left the room quickly and went downstairs.

I baked his birthday cake yesterday. I wanted to make something special for him. I placed the candles on the cake as I rubbed my stomach.

"Are you ready to celebrate your father's birthday?" I whispered to my baby. Then I took the cake and went to the bedroom.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Xander. Happy birthday to you," I sang and woke him up. He smiled when he saw me. He sat up on the bed. I sat down beside him on the bed. "Make a wish and blow the candles."

"My wish is for both of you to always be with me." I smiled and he blew the candles. "Thank you, my angel."

We ate our cakes. We put the plates on the tray on the bedside table after eating. He took a bit of cream with his finger and put the cream in the corner of my lips.

"Xander!" I screamed.

He pulled me closer to him. He licked the cream off my lips and then said, "Thank you for the cake. I especially loved the cream." He winked at me amusingly.

"We baked it," I said while rubbing my stomach.

He placed his hand on my stomach and rubbed my stomach. "Thank you too, little buddy." He bent down and kissed my stomach. "This birthday is the best birthday ever. My first birthday that I'm celebrating with you. I love you and our baby."

"We love you too." He hugged me. I opened the drawer and took out the gift box and gave it to him and said, "Our gift to you."

Xander's P.O.V.

I woke up so happy this morning. Sophia baked a birthday cake for me. This birthday was very special to me. It was my first birthday that I celebrated with Sophia and our baby. She gave me the gift. I took it and hugged her. I placed my head on her stomach.

"My gift is you and our baby," I said while she stroked my hair.

"Open it."

I opened the box. There were cufflinks in the box. The first letter of my name had written on the cufflinks. It was so beautiful and elegant.

"Thank you very much. They are so beautiful." I hugged her. I put the box on the bedside table and pulled her closer to me. "Will we continue to celebrate my birthday?" I asked with a wink.

I kissed her lips passionately and pulled her closer to me. She was sitting on my lap now. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I placed her on the bed carefully. I trailed my lips from her mouth to her neck.

"Xander," she murmured. I slid my hand under her dress, stroking her thigh. I took off her dress and threw it on the floor. I kissed her lips and then we made love.

We laid down on the bed. She placed her head on my chest. I wrapped my arm around her. I looked at the watch. It was late. I kissed her forehead.

"It’s late, my angel. I need to go to the holding."

"Ok, darling. But come home early."

"Ok." She kissed my lips. I got up and put on my clothes. I went to the holding.

When I came home in the evening, I saw Sophia in the living room. She looked so beautiful and breathtaking. The living room was decorated with candles.

She prepared dinner for us. There were rose petals on the table as well.

"Welcome, darling."

"Good evening," I said while wrapping my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to me. I kissed her neck and whispered, "You're so beautiful."

She smiled. I placed my hand on her belly and rubbed her belly. We went towards the table. I was watching her. My beautiful wife.

After dinner, we danced. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her closer to my chest. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I took a smell at her. I trailed my lips on her neck. I looked into her eyes and kissed her lips passionately. I scooped her up in my arms bridal style and carried to the bedroom.

I leaned her against the wall. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I kissed her neck. She ran her hand through my hair. I unzipped her dress. I trailed kisses on her skin. She arched her back. I kissed her lips again. She took my jacket and shirt off. I slid my hand under her lace panties and she moaned. I teased her sensitive spot with my fingers. I unclasped her bra.

We walked towards the bed. I laid her on the bed while holding her hand, pulling her over me. She trailed kisses on my chest. She moved her hands down and unbelted my pants. She took off my pants. She pressed herself to my length, kissing my lips. I moaned and rolled us over. I took off her lace panties and my boxers. I kissed her nipples and then continued to tease them. I kissed her lips again. I shoved my length inside her without warning and she moaned at the sudden contact of my member with her walls. I started moving in and out faster.

Two days later

Sophia's P.O.V.

Today we were going to learn our baby's gender. We got ready and left the house.

We arrived at the hospital. We entered the doctor's room. Xander helped me lay on the bed. The doctor placed some gel on my stomach. We looked at the screen. Xander was holding my hand. We were excited. And suddenly, the room filled our baby's heartbeat.

"Xander!" I said excitedly. We were so touched. He held my hand tightly. When I looked at him, he was wiping his tears off with his hand.

"Yes, everything is good. The baby is healthy. You have reached the 4-month mark. Now let's look at the gender…it is a boy. Congratulations!"

"My son," Xander whispered. "We are having a boy!" Xander screamed after with an amusing smile. The doctor and I smiled while he kissed my forehead. "Thank you, my angel."

Xander helped me get up. The doctor gave us the ultrasound picture. We left the hospital. We were in the car. I was looking at the ultrasound picture when I told Xander, "Look at this, Xander, my dear son."

Xander wrapped his arm around me and looked at the ultrasound picture. We were going shopping for our baby after the checkup.

We went to the mall and shopped at baby stores. There were different baby clothes, all adorable and cute. We bought sleepers, rompers, booties, and many more; they were so cute.

After shopping, we went to the cafe. Xander was watching me while I was eating the cake. "What? Our son wants some," I said while shrugging my shoulders and he smiled in response.

After, we headed home. I got so tired today. I laid on the bed. I was rubbing my belly. Xander came to the bedroom. He laid next to me and placed his hand on my belly.

"My little son," he rested while I rested my head on his shoulder.

"I love you, darling," I told him.

"I love you too, sweetheart."
