Capítulo 87: baby changes everything

Having a baby changes everything.

It changed Ira, changed their marriage, their life, and their fate.

Can someone change so much after being pregnant?

That was what he asked his mom the first time he saw those major changes in her.

Yes, he was suspicious initially. Maybe she has a reason or a plan behind her smiles and tears.

But his Mom's words made him saw everything differently: "A woman gets transformed into another person when she is pregnant. She becomes a Mom.

Once there is a small life residing in her body, she automatically opens the gate of her motherhood and become a person completely different from the past.

You know, she lives for a baby. There's another life existing in her. That itself is magical.

She feels emotions that she never felt before. There are a lot of emotional changes; anxiety, empathy and those maternal feelings of overwhelming love.

Obviously, she would change, become lovelier.

Yet she would carry a burden of insecurities during these critical moments.

Promise me to take care of her and dispel all the insecurities in her mind. Pregnant women are very sensitive," she paused briefly to hear his reply and continued: "I am so happy for you, child. God Bless!"

That is the reason he never let his face show even a trace of doubt. He never questioned Ira when he found her searching for abortion clinics nearby, yet he kept a watch on her actions.

Now he understood what a fool he was!

Ira really changed a lot. She used to treat the world coldly including him.

That Ira was now saying the words; Thank you, Sorry, I Like you...

Last night's confession was something that will be engraved in his heart forever.

When Ira felt a burning gaze on her, she saw Viv staring at her. She tried to ignore it and continue, but he was still staring at her face.

She was so embarrassed, thinking about yesterday night when she acted so provocative.

'He will tease me about yesterday! Damn, why were you so sensuous?'

She fumbled while cutting a strawberry, the knife slipped and left a cut on her finger.

She unconsciously brought the finger into her mouth to suck the blood when her wrist was held by a hand. A concerned and restless voice fell on her ear: "Don't, it's unhygienic."

Taking her hand, Viv pulled her to the sink, washing off the blood from her finger.

He ran to the bedroom and returned with a first aid box.

Viv cleaned it, applied antibiotic, and bandaged the whole finger while panicked.

"Viv, it was just a small cut, and you bandaged my whole finger!" Ira whined.

Viv scolded her: "Be careful. You are not alone anymore. You have our baby to take care of!" His voice was firm but still carried a tinge of distress.

Vivan called the doctor and asked about it. After he heard the doctor's advice and words as not to worry, his face returned to normal.

As she saw his flustered state, she could not help but laugh.

'Isn't it crazy how a rational man changes after being a Dad?' She thought.
