Chapter 397
“So would you be staying in my bedroom or here?” He asked.
Before Jasmine could answer the door flung open and Xaden was at her front in a split second.
“I think I can answer that question.” The intruder said.
“Stay behind me.” Her urged.
But it was only Marie who came in.
“How romantic.” Marie said as she clasped her hands together. “The Alpha protecting the mother of his child.”
He heaved a sigh of relief and gently stepped aside.
It was the Jasmine realized how quickly he had stood to her view to prevent something bad from happening to her.
She felt her tummy flip with butterflies.
“Look at you, just after informing you that you have a baby on the way, daddy instincts have already popped in.”
Xaden didn’t reply.
If it was like before, Xaden would have stated taht he was only doing his job or he would have outright denied anything and yet now he simply said nothing.
“Don’t worry you can step away daddy to be.” Marie said.
“I thought you were going to be here later during the week?” Xaden asked his eyes now brows piqued with interest.
“I decided to drop in early to see the soon to be mummy.” Marie said.
Then she turned to Jasmine and back to Xaden. “So I think I heard you ask if she would stay in your bedroom or hers. Well my candid advice as the one who would be delivering your baby. I say yours.”
Jasmine went red.
Memories of how he had made love to her and how she had been panting and begging for his touch in his bedroom came like a flash of lighting.
Marie beamed with joy as if she was happy to be delivering all these news.
“I can stay here.” Jasmine said quickly. “I’m fine here.”
“Oh no he has a point. After all you would both need to continue fucking.” Marie said bluntly.
Jasmine almost exploded from her flushed face while Xaden choked.
He began to cough violently.
“What? Why make it look like that’s not what brought us here in the first place. The baby didn’t happen by magic.” Marie pointed out reasonably.
“I wanted her to stay in my room because it would be safer.” Xaden said. “Not for anything else.”
Jasmine wondered why he was so shy all of a sudden.
Marie shrugged. “But I’m right. He needs to keep up sleeping with you. The baby might be bigger than you anticipate and him fucking you is going to further widen your vagina. That way when it’s time for you to give birth, you won’t deal with much complications.”
Jasmine went red.
“Is that true or you’re just making it up?” Xaden asked.
“Of course it’s true. You can go ahead and ask the other women who have given birth in the pack.” Marie said.
And then she went to Jasmine.
She went over to her stomach and put her ear on it.
“Uh-huh.” Marie mumbled to herself as she hovered over Jasmine’s tummy.
When she was done she stood up to her feet.
“How is she?” Jasmine asked.
“How is he?” Xaden asked.
They asked at the same time.
“How is the baby?” Jasmine corrected.
Marie rose a brow. “Already conflicted on what gender it is going to be huh? Well the baby is fine. Seems to be good.”
“Do you know what it’s going to be?” Xaden questioned curiously.
“I do. But I’m not doing to say. I don’t think it’s fun to tell either of you. I’ll prefer it to be a surprise.” Marie responded.
And then she led Jasmine to the bed and sat her down.
“Tell me how do you feel?” She asked as she gently touched her head.
“Fine.” Jasmine admitted.
“That’s very good.” Marie said. “I brought more medications for you. Have you had anything to eat yet?”
Jasmine shook her head. “No not yet.”
“You’re eating for two now.” Marie pointed out. “You have to be aware of that now. Whatever you do is going to affect the baby.”
Then Marie turned at him. “I’m ashamed of you. You couldn’t insist that she ate before you started your banter?”
Xaden was tight lipped.
“Ignore him. All men are grumpy, but they would never agree.” Marie said.
And then Xaden walked to the door and a few minutes later, Claudia her nanny came in.
“I’ll leave you three alone.” And with that he went away.
“So you two have decided to keep the baby?” Marie asked.
Jasmine nodded.
Marie smiled. “That’s good to hear.”
And then Claudia greeted and pushed the trolley of food that had been prepared for Jasmine.
“Now eat up.” Marie urged. “So you can take your medications.”
“Alright.” Jasmine agreed and went on eating her food.
She felt herself go dizzy and nauseous but then Marie offered her a leaf to bite on.
It waved off instant and she was able to continue eating until she was full.
“Thank you.” Jasmine said.
“You’re welcome.” Marie said. “Are you her nanny? Xaden had told me he would get one for her.”
“Yes ma’am.” Claudia greeted.
“Good.” Marie nodded. “You would have to accompany and make sure she goes on frequent walks. We can’t let the baby be dormant and get lazy. The birth already I might be complicated we can’t make matters worse.”
“Of course.” Claudia nodded as she packed up the food.
“Have you ever delivered a child before?” Jasmine asked.
“Thousands.” Marie said with a smile. “I have a way with babies.”
Jasmine swallowed.
“Don’t worry. If you do as i tell you too, the baby should be just fine.” Marie assured as she gently patted the stomach.
“What did Xaden mean when he said he had made sure he could never have children.” Jasmine asked. “And that he could never love.”
“He told you that?” Marie asked surprised at the latter.
Jasmine nodded. “Yes he did.”
Marie sighed. “Well it is what he says. He cant love and he can’t have children. At least until you defied the latter and got pregnant.”
Marie rose up to her feet to leave
“What’s wrong with me?” Jasmine asked with worry.
“Why the devil do you think something is wrong with you?” Marie asked lost for words.
