11 I Love You

"Are you Pregnant, Scarlett ?"

She blushed and hugged him tightly then said, "I don't know!" Vin's forehead was sweating but he caressed her hair and said, "It's alright, darling. Calm down, okay? Whether you are pregnant or not, I will be with you in every step. Okay?"

Scarlett chuckled and pushed him gently to meet his eyes. She cupped his face with her hands and asked, "Do I look like I am being nervous? Honey, take a deep breath! I am fine". Both of them were nervous, but Vin showed it on the face too much. Vin nodded and went out to bring John.

John, who was watching TV was brought to the bedroom. He explained the procedure to Scarlett and gave her the kit. She took it and went to the bathroom. Vin was standing outside the bathroom door. He was really nervous. John was having a good time watching him getting nervous.

The bathroom door opened slowly after a while. Scarlett came out with a blank expression in her face. John explained to her but she felt that maybe she is confused with the symbols. Actually she couldn't trust the result she got or more like she needed John to conform it.

Vin thought, she is upset. So he hugged her without asking the result. He was nervous about her well being in the first place. He thought of sending her to school or college, with a different identity.

Scarlett extended her hand towards John while Vin hugged her. John took the meter from her hand and looked at it. He smiled and gave her a thumbs up then he went out. Scarlett smiled and hugged vin more tightly.

She called him very alluringly, "Vinson?" He straightened his back and then he replied with a "Hmmm..." She said in his left ear seductively, "You have to keep your paws off me for 10 months, Honey". Vin was so happy to hear it, only this time though. He lifted her up and swinged her around. She laughed out loud.

There was a knock on the door at that time. Vin shouted, "Do not disturb!" The door was not locked so door was opened immediately. "You.... unfilial child. Do you still planning on hiding her from me?", a woman's voice sounded from the door of the room. Vin didn't move looking at the woman.

She dashed into the room and said, "Vinny, put her down now. Are you stupid? She is pregnant for God's sake" Then she contiued, "Carefully". After Vin did as he was told, Ronnie pushed Vin aside and hugged Scarlett.

She said, "Atlast we meet, Izzy dear". Scarlett was in a awe, she didn't expect her mother-in-law to be this sweet. She then dragged Scarlett to the bed and both of them chatted. Robert came in and talked to Vin. They planned to decorate a room for the kid in the main house.

The guys went out while the ladies chatted. Ronnie asked Izzy about how she is treated here. She offered her to come to the main house. But Izzy declined it politely.

Ronnie said, "I was upset when I first heard about your contract with Vinny. Then Robert told me about you. No wonder you looked so familiar and I liked you from the start! Your mother must really miss you sweetheart.

I know how much, she must be willing to trade anything to be with you right now. I will be here for you sweety, don't worry." Scarlet started to shed tears when she was reminded of her parents. Ronnie coaxed her.

.....

Now its been 7 months since she became pregnant. Ronnie vists once every two days. She stays here at every weekends. Vanessa became best friends with Scarlett. Today is the baby shower. Vin's close friends came to party.

She was surrounded by lots of gifts. Scarlett was so happy, when surrounded by others. Vinson was sad because his attention was taken by others. After everyone left at late night, he hugged Scarlett in the bed.

He complained, "You are not giving me much attention, you know?" Scarlett was so happy to hear his complaint and she coaxed him then kissed him on the forehead. She then said, "Awww.... My sweetheart is feeling so lonely ah?" Vin nodded like a little kid.

She chuckled and kissed him in lips. Vinson had some attention then. After some exercise, he caressed Scarlett's protruding belly. Scarlett said, "What will you do if our child had my hair colour?" Vinson said, "I will love our child the same. Despite the hair colour, the gender. It is our child, the proof of our love at the end of the day".

Scarlett felt blessed to have Vinson. But she has to leave eventually. She then said, "Lets make a bet, Vinson". Vin was excited when he heard her. He said, "What will be my reward?" She rolled her eyes and said, "First ask what is the bet, you dummy!"

Vin chuckled and said, "Anyway I'm going to win. So what is the bet, darling?" Scarlett kept her face serious and said, "If our kid's hair is red, I win or if it is not you win, okay?" Vin laughed out loud and asked anxiously, "Okay, the reward?" Scarlett squinted her eyes and said, "What do you want when you win?"

Vin didn't even think, he said, "Marry me!" Scarlett felt a bit sad then she said, "We have talked a lot about this, Vinson". He said, "Okay! Okay! Chill. I want you to be with me for one more year. You can do that right?" Scarlett nodded her, then she buried her face in his chest.

Vin thought, 'Its been a while, she behaved like this'. He hugged her, then Scarlett said, "If I win... you have to give me another child!" Vin's lips curled up and said with his deep voice, "Didn't I say before? Anyway I win!" Scarlett pinched Vin's hand. He shouted, "Ouch..."

....

September 8,

The main house is in a uproar, everyone is walking here and there. In Vinson's room, Scarlett's shouting sound was echoing. Vin was next to Scarlett holding her hand. His whole body was shaking while looking at Scarlett like that.

John's elder sister Jackline was there to handle the labour. She was instructing Scarlett to push the child. Tears were flowing from her eyes. Vin was feeling so nervous. She has been struggling for a while now.

She is just 18, so she is having a hard time. She has been crying out in pain, she couldn't control her screams. Seeing Vin on the edge was a first time for her. Atlast the child came out, she made a loud screaming sound and her nails embedded in Vin's hands.

Vin's tears flowed down, he gave her a kiss in the forehead. He caressed her face and leaned into her right ear then said, "I love you". She smiled and put her hands around his neck, then kissed his lips.
