Loving Madeline - Chapter 175

Madeline’s POV

I couldn’t stop looking at my husband while eating our dinner, and I felt afraid if this was just a dream. I want to be alone with him, and I can’t wait to tell him the good news.

“Please tell me, I am not dreaming,” I whispered.

“Of course, you are not dreaming, Madeline, and I don’t want this to be a dream either.” My husband said, and I blushed because it was not my intention to say it aloud. I felt so thrilled when he wiped the smeared sauce on the side of my mouth with his fingers, and I couldn’t stop having butterflies on my stomach; and I remember the feeling of excitement that I had felt on the first night that I met Hunter. And tonight, I can’t stop my heart from racing.

It was customary of the Divenson family to have bonding time in the family room after eating dinner, and I was sitting beside my husband. At the same time, he put his arms around my waist, and he placed his chin on my shoulder while he was giving me butterfly kisses on my neck and face.

“Hunter!” Lily called her brother, and Hunter straightened up, and he faced Lily with a broad smile on his face, and I saw his sister stood up, and she sat beside Hunter on the other side.

“Yes, sweetheart?” Hunter asked Lily.

“I would like to say sorry, because before you left to the site that time, I was upset with you because you chose to go to the site than go shopping with Maddie and me, and I want to tell you I wasn’t upset with you anymore, and I am sorry if I was a bad sister.” She said, and Hunter took her closer to him, and he caressed Lily’s hair.

“Lily, you don’t need to apologize, I should be the one who should ask for an apology; sorry because I made a promise to you, don’t worry on the second weekend from now I will go shopping with you with my wife and with mom, and I want to ask also Gina and Cerila to come with us.” My husband said, and Lily beamed at her brother.

“And why do I need to wait another weekend, Hunter? Why can’t we do it this weekend instead?” Lily asked my husband, and I felt Hunter held my hand.

“I am sorry, my little sister, but I already have a prior engagement this coming weekend,” Hunter said, and I felt sad that he just got back, and he needed to travel out of the country again. I saw Lily pouted her lips.

“Hey, don’t be like that Lily, I need to spend my weekend with my wife at the Villa, and I hope you understand,” Hunter said, and my heart skipped a beat as I remembered he promised me before the explosion that we are going to have our second honeymoon at our vacation house. I saw Lily’s face lit up.

“Can we join you?” She excitedly asked.

“You can join us on Sunday morning because I want us to leave Friday afternoon and spend the entire Saturday alone in our vacation home.” My husband declared, and I felt so excited.

“Yehey!” Lily exclaimed, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.

Hunter narrated everything that happened to him and Calixto at the mining site after the explosion, and while my husband was telling us the whole story, I couldn’t stop myself from crying, and he took me closer to him.

“Hey, I am now home, my sweet, please, don’t cry.” He said while he kissed my forehead.

“I want to go to Calixto now and thank him for saving you,” I said.

“I already did, Madeline.” Mom said, and I smiled at her.

Thank you, mom, and he is indeed Hunter’s hero,” I said.

“Yes, he is, and I know he will do everything for Hunter.” Mom replied.

Hunter excused himself to go to the kitchen. I want to come with him because I am afraid if something will happen to him again that we need to stay away from each other, and as possible, I don’t want my husband to travel out of the country after what happened not unless I already gave birth to our child.

“So, you all knew that Hunter is coming home tonight?” I asked, and they all nodded their heads.

“And that is the reason why you asked me to stay in my room the entire day? Why didn’t you tell me about it so that I could prepare myself and look presentable in front of my husband.” I said, and they all looked at me, and before anyone could answer, I heard my husband’s voice behind me.

“You will always be beautiful in my eyes, Madeline, and no matter how you wear your hair and what clothes you wear, I will still look at you the same way.” My husband said, and I smiled before I turned around to face him.

“I think we should call it a night since I can tell Hunter still needs to have a rest, and he is now excited to be alone with Maddie.” Mom said while she winked at us, and I felt my face blushed. They all went upstairs ahead of us after we said goodnight to each other, while my husband hugged me for a long time without saying anything.

“I missed you so much, Maddie, and I felt so happy to have you in my arms again. I thought I would never see you again, and right now, I want to shout how much I love you.” My husband said as he slowly released me from his embrace, and he faced me again, and this time, he leaned down and kissed me passionately on the lips. And I can feel the sparks that travel in my entire frame as we continue to kiss and touch each other.

“Me too, Hunter, and I was praying hard every day that you would come back to me, and now that you are here, it feels like I am floating on the sky with happiness in my heart. Thank you for making me this happy, Hunter, and I love you so much.” I replied, and I almost screamed when Hunter carried me going to our room. We took a bath together, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from making love in the bathtub because I knew we couldn’t make it to the bed. After all, we can’t stop touching each other.

“I am sorry, Madeline, I just missed you so much that I couldn’t stop myself from taking you. But don’t worry, we have all night, my love.” He said after we made love on the tub, and he was still cuddling my naked body on top of him while he was caressing my back.

“I think we should go to our bed now, Madeline.” He whispered in my ears, and I could feel the goosebumps that covered my entire frame.

“Why do you need to say sorry when you made me feel so good. You make me feel so alive and happy, Hunter.” I said, and my husband smiled at me, and he captured my lips once more, and we got out of the bathroom after we finished our warm bath. I was already wearing my nightgown when I remembered I needed to tell him about my pregnancy.

“I need to show you something,” I said, and he looked at me, confused why I got up from the bed, and I was heading to the door.

“Where are you going, Maddie? Aren’t you excited to sleep beside me?” He asked while he walked closer to me, and he held my hand, and we walked out from our room holding hands, and I brought him to the nursery room.

“Do you want us to sleep in here?” He asked when I stopped in front of the door, I didn’t answer my husband, and when I opened the door I heard him gasped when he saw all the baby clothes Lily and Gina bought for our baby, and then he turned to face me, and he was crying already as he pulled me closer to him.

“You are now pregnant, Madeline?” He asked, and I couldn’t stop my tears from falling as I nodded my head, and my husband kneeled in front of me as he continued to cry, and he was hugging my lower body while he was kissing my tummy, and it made me laughed even if I was crying with happiness too. And then he got up, and he hugged me again.

“Oh, Madeline, this is the greatest gift I ever received, and thank you so much for making me so happy. I can’t describe the happiness that I feel as of now, and I can’t wait to tell Calixto, and all my friends, and the entire world that I am going to be a dad.” He said, and the happiness that I saw on my husband’s face was priceless.

“We are going to be parents, Maddie, and I promised you I will take care of both of you, and I am so excited to be a dad.” He said.

“Me too, Hunter, and I can’t wait to be a mom, and I know you are going to be an amazing dad because you are the best husband I could ever ask. You provided me everything that I needed, and the most beautiful gift you offered to me was your love and now our baby. And this child in my tummy was the reason I didn’t stop believing that you would come back to me.” I said.

“I love you, Madeline, and I know you are going to be a great mom.” He said, and I could feel the overwhelming happiness as we got out of the nursery room holding hands with beautiful smiles on our faces while I was caressing my stomach. It feels so wonderful to think that there is a life inside my tummy now, and I feel so safe and secure now that my husband is back, and my pregnancy was the best thing that ever happened to Hunter and me.
