Chapter 493 - Four Hundred And Ninety-three: He Spoke From His Heart
The third point of view:
"Number one," Reina comnced.
Erald was full of anticipation for this mont - there was even an imaginary drumline thudding in the distance. He listened to her advice attentively like a student would in class.
"The first thing you should know about pregnant won is that they enjoy comfort food and ice cream is one of them. Cut Cecil so slack and don't make the mistake of monitoring portions or critiquing her requests for strange food combinations. If she asks for pickles and peanut butter at one in the morning, give the woman what she goddamn wants no matter the distance!"
"Or…" Niklaus opined, "You can simply fill the refrigerator with different flavors of Icecream instead of running to the supermarket at 1 A.M," He was smug, knowing his suggestion was much better.
Reina threw daggers at him. He was set on irritating her tonight. Well, this was all for Erald. Nothing else.
"Secondly, never ask Cecil why she is crying again? When won are pregnant their hormones can fluctuate and don't assu she needs a "reason" to cry. If you want to help her, just offer her a shoulder to cry on, "
"Or to make things simpler for you or us, the n," Niklaus opined again, "Just put on her favorite cody show and you can say bye-bye to tears," He made it sound so easy.
Reina turned to him with a massive frown, "What's your problem, Niklaus?"
"Erald ca for the both of us to give us an insight on pregnancy and fatherhood - he said 'us' rember? So while you explain from the won's point of view, I give him more insightful tips from the n's perspective - my view," He said.
"He makes sense. No offense Reina, but Niklaus' a fellow man, I believe he would be more empathic," Erald pointed out.
"Fine," Reina spoke through gritted teeth. No matter what, she believed she would be the perfect person to relate the sufferings that cos with pregnancy since she's experienced it first hand.
"Thirdly, never tell Cecil that it would be fun if your kids were a year apart - that is if you plan on having more," Reina sighed, "Trust , that comnt could quickly transform the woman you love into a raging monster. Appreciate the pain and sacrifice Cecil is going through both physically and ntally and don't assu she wants to repeat the experience anyti soon,"
"I support that," Niklaus agreed readily which made Reina narrow her gaze at him suspiciously. He didn't argue with her as usual?
However, it was proven that she was faster than her shadow because Niklaus added, "You don't have to inform her and get your head yelled off in the process, simply score a prefect shoot in the heat of the mont," Niklaus hinted that he could easily get her pregnant during sex without voicing his intention.
"Alright. This is it. You're intentionally sabotaging this conversation," Reina accused him.
"Sabotaging what? I'm only giving him practical ideas. I knew from the start that you won would never agree with n's view on pregnancy," Niklaus claid.
"Alright, this is," Reina stood up, " If this is you rebelling because I refused us having another baby, then you should know it's not going to work," she told him pointedly.
"Oh boy," Erald shrunk back into his seat. How had their conversation escalated into a fight between couples? Maybe he shouldn't have bothered them.
"I'm not petty enough to resort to this thod and you of all people knows that," Niklaus replied coolly compared to the heaving Reina.
Reina bit back her words. If Niklaus wanted to get her pregnant, he could do that in many ways - whether she was on the shots or not. Reina guessed she was just a tad bit sensitive about the
"pregnancy" issue considering she and Niklaus have been going over it for days.
"I'm sorry. I took this too personally," Reina apologized, fidgeting with her hands.
"I know," Niklaus reached out and pulled her to him, "I'm sorry as well for seeming too nonchalance about the discomfort pregnant won go through. The truth is that pregnant won are a blessing to us n and I couldn't ask for anyone else to be the mother of my children but you," He kissed her on the forehead.
"Aww, that's so wonderful," Erald fawned over him yet sassed at them, "But that doesn't answer my question! How do I beco a good husband and a father!" he had reached the end of his patience.
"Erald," Reina called him, "There's no formula or procedure to be a good husband other than what you have been doing so far,"
"Alright, I'm a bit lost now," Erald rubbed the side of his head. This was not what he wanted to hear. Take a look at them - Niklaus and Reina - they were one perfect couple, surely they must have a secret to their happiness.
Niklaus took over, "What my wife is trying to say is that as far as you love Cecil, that's enough. You can't hurt the person you love - your heart cannot take it,"
"Oh," He finally got his point.
"And fatherhood?" Niklaus went on, "Trust , that's fucked up. You don't need a set of techniques to be a father because once you set your eyes on your little one? Trust , the instincts kick in naturally. The feeling of joy swells in your chest and you feel it strongly in your bones that you want to give your little angel the best of your love, attention, v for. When you act on that feeling, my man? That's called being a good father, "
No one said a word as soon as Niklaus finished his emotional speech. Reina felt teary-eyed, upon the fact Niklaus had not spent seven years with the kids, nevertheless, he loved them. Those words were from the bottom of his heart.
Erald felt the sincerity of his words, Niklaus had spoken from the bottom of his heart. He smiled, it had not been a waste to co here after all.
