The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 105

His words touched Ciara’s heart as she hadn’t had someone to lookout for her all this while. She was out there on her own for more than 6 months and had to make decisions by herself and sometimes put herself in situations she wasn’t comfortable in as she had no one to reassure her or stand up for her.

“OK let’s take it one day at a time. I will see them when I have the energy to deal with the bickering. “

Just like that the matter was put to rest.

In the morning Liam was the first to wake up and insisted on making breakfast for the two of them.

” No relax and take it slow, I got this. “

He felt that he wasn’t there for her throughout the past few months of her pregnancy, so now he was determined to make-up for those days. His wife was never going to lift a finger when he is around.

So after freshening up he walked out to the kitchen and began busying himself with the pots.

When Ciara was also done with cleaning herself up, she too got out of the bedroom and walked up to the kitchen only to replace her husband all sweaty and with some grease on his tee-shirt.

She opened one of the drawers in her kitchen and took out an apron and gave it to her husband.

” here wear this, we don’t want you to be all greasy now, do we.”

They both smiled at each other, while Ciara helped him put it on.

” Thank you sweetheart, now the smoke here is not healthy for you, go and wait for me at the table. I’m almost done.”

He gently pushed her out of the kitchen as he said those words, leaving no room for negotiation. It was his kitchen for now and he made the rules.

Ciara obeyed and sat at the table like an obedient little girl that she was.

Soon the food was ready and Liam started bringing out the dishes, and when Ciara tried to help him, he again rejected her.

” I’ve got this covered, sit!”

What else could she do, she sat quietly waiting for Liam to finish up with what he was doing. Once done, they started eating. Ciara noticed that Liam’s cooking had improved a lot over the past few months and wondered who taught him how to cook this good.

” Were there any women throwing themselves at you? Six months is a long time without someone by your side. “

” Were there any women throwing themselves at you? Six months is a long time without someone by your side. “

Liam looked at his wife who was pretending to be jealous and smiled.

” I doubt there were, but even if they tried they would be wasting their time as my heart only beat for you and my eyes can only see you. “

” Haaa don’t be smooth with me here, you and I both know how women behave around. It’s like they are seeing a cute man for the same time. “

Liam was baffled by his wife’s choice of words, so much so that he almost choked on the food in his mouth.

” Cute huh? Is that all you can say about your husband? “

” you know what they say about pregnant women and their brains, maybe I forgot to add something. How about beautiful?”

Liam could clearly see that she was just being playful and cheeky but still did not want to back down, he felt that there was more to him than just being cute.

” How about you say handsome, a grown man like me can never be cute. Did you not wish to add capable, resilient and a family man, I prefer that than just being cute.”

” Hehehe yes you are very capable my love, but I still think that you are cute and we need to hide you from all those hungry women out there. “

Liam’s brows we already raised to their highest point at the sound of Ciara’s voice. The woman in front of him was really testing him, he thought.

” How about we hide you instead, I don’t think it will be safe for you and baby to be out when people like Dexter and Boity are still roaming around.”

His voice was stern and serious, which all of Ciara’s playfulness and brought her back to reality. That’s when she remembered how things were before she left her home. She never really got the reason why Dexter was busy following her around and now that she was about to go back, she needed to be more vigilant for sake and that of her baby.

” mhmm I have completely forgotten about those two…. Owh my God when will I ever replace peace.”

Liam laughed at her when he heard that, while picking up the dirty dishes on the table he assured her.

” No need to worry yourself about these, your husband is a capable man, I will protect you both from any sort of danger but you will also have to be careful.”

They decided not to leave Port Elizabeth right away but to spend the day exploring the city. Ciara felt that now it was time for them to replace out about the baby’s gender so they scheduled an appointment with Donna and headed over to her practice.

They sat in the waiting room holding hands which were now both filled with sweat, caused by nervousness. It was Ciara’s dream come true as she had always wanted her husband to be with her when she replaces out and now all of that was happening. She didn’t really care if it was a girl or a boy as she believed that babies are a gift and one couldn’t always choose what gift they will be receiving but Liam on the other was really nervous, he was really hoping to get a baby girl. He wanted someone he could protect but also did not mind having a little boy to groom.

Finally it was their turn to go in and Doctor Smith was already waiting for them when they entered the room.

“Dee.”

” lovely to see you this happy Ciara.”

She smiled at Ciara lovingly, but also sadness couldn’t be completely hidden in that face of hers. As much as she was happy for her friend, she was still sad that was going away and they might not see each other for a long time.

Ciara looked at her husband who was her source of happiness then smiled, then introduced the two people to each other.

” Thank you friend, but do not feel bad we will sure see each other one way or the other. By the way this is my husband Liam Jones, hunny this is my Doctor and good friend of mine Donna Smith.”

Both Donna and locked eyes, while Donna wasn’t sure whether to continue pretending he didn’t know Liam and were meeting for the first time, Liam pulled out his hand to give her a handshake.

” Nice to meet you again Doctor. “
