18 Life after the mess
Mina sat at the kitchen counter nervously bouncing her leg as she waited for Aiden to get home. She had opted not to go to work after leaving the doctor's office. Instead, Mina had told Clay to take her home and to tell Aiden. She didn't have to wait long.
As soon as Aiden's meeting was finished he came straight home. The fact that she was going to the doctor without him, drove him to distraction. Luckily, Daniel was on hand to run the meeting. The moment it was over he told Maggie to rearrange the rest of his meetings for the day. As soon as he got home, he rushed straight to Mina.
"Mina! Are you ok? is anything wrong? What did the doctor say?" he asked bombarding her with questions without giving her a chance to respond.
"Aiden!" she said kissing him to stop him from talking.
She pulled back and stared him in the eyes. Concern and worry filled them as she smiled. At that moment she truly knew how he felt about her. Despite only knowing each other a short time, despite what he had said already about his feelings, she now truly knew without an ounce of doubt.
"Mina, please!" he pleaded, gently gripping her wrists.
"I'm pregnant!"
Mina watched the flurry of emotions flit across his face. The concern and worry changed to shock, which then turned to surprise which then turned to the purest joy she had ever seen on anyone's face.
"Really?" he asked, needing to be sure.
Mina pulled her arms away and then passed him the paper she had received from the doctor. Aiden scanned it carefully like it was a contract. She chuckled as he looked up at her, then back to the paper and then back to her repeatedly. Reminding her of Clay earlier.
"Are you ok with this?" she asked holding her breath.
"Ok? I'm more than ok Mina! I'm ecstatic! I'm wonderful! I'm the happiest man in the world!" he said before pulling her into his arms and crushing her body to his.
They were both laughing like hyenas as Aiden swung Mina around in the kitchen. She gripped onto his shoulders and wrapped her legs around his waist. Aiden pulled back slightly to look at her.
Without a word, he carried her to their room and laid her down on the bed. Slowly, he removed her clothes until she was fully naked. He then stood up and did the same. Mina watched with hungry eyes as his beautifully tanned skin was revealed.
Once he was fully undressed he climbed onto the bed and slowly kissed his way up her body. When he reached her stomach he gave it a lingering kiss. She smiled softly down at him. His eyes shone brightly up at her as he continued his journey up to her mouth.
"I love you," he whispered before capturing her lips.
"I love you too," she whispered against his lips when they had a moment to breathe.
Aiden manoeuvred them so that Mina was now on top of him. Slowly, she gripped his aching cock and gave it a few pumps before positioning it at her entrance. She lowered herself down onto him and moaned. Aiden moaned as well and gripped her hips.
Mina started to slowly rock her body. The slow push and pull on his cock caused his back to arch as pleasure coiled up his spine. Mina fared no better. Her head was flung back as her back arched much in the same way.
"Aiden!" she called out as her orgasm rocked through her.
He sat up and pulled her head down for a kiss before turning them over. Mina lifted her legs and dug her heels into his back to urge him to continue. Aiden needed no more encouragement. He picked up his speed but remained careful to not go too hard.
Soon, Aiden could feel his own release approaching. Mina could tell too. She had learnt that when he was close his movements started to become a bit sporadic.
"Mina, I ..." he started but she interrupted him.
"Do it Aiden, come inside me! I want you too," she told him.
Aiden kissed her hungrily as his cock spurted his release. Hot jets of cum coated her walls. He could almost imagine creating another baby inside her. Slowly, he pulled back and sat up. He wanted to watch his cock slide out of her and he almost came again.
"Aiden!" she said with open arms.
He smiled at her as he moved to the side and pulled her into his arms. She curled her body into his and sighed blissfully.
"I guess we should tell your Grandmother as well as mine," she laughed lazily.
"I guess so," he said with a kiss on her forehead. "We'll do it tomorrow."
---
Tomorrow didn't happen. Mina had told Aiden to wait until after her three months check-up. She knew anything could happen before then so she wanted to minimise the number of people that would be upset.
Aiden had insisted on finding out the baby's gender as soon as possible. So, their doctor had taken a prenatal blood test to determine what it was. Mina had chuckled at how eager he was, sitting in the doctor's office waiting for the news.
Then she burst out laughing at his face when the doctor finally put them out of their misery. Aiden was beyond elated as they made their way to the small restaurant they had booked. That evening they had managed to arrange for their families to get together to give them the news.
Everyone was already there when they arrived. Mina's parents as well as her grandmother, Diana, and Aiden's grandmother, Elle, were sat chatting in the private room they had booked. They all stopped their conversations when the pair walked in holding hands.
Mina's family stood to give her a hug and a kiss and then she went to her new grandmother to do the same. Quickly, they ordered their food and enjoyed it all when it came. After the staff cleared the table Mina's grandmother finally spoke up.
"Come on then you two, why have you got us all together? You've got something to tell us, haven't you?" she said with a smirk.
Mina and Aiden shared a smile as all eyes turned to them. Aiden nodded for her to be the one to tell them.
"Well yes, Grandmother we do. We got you here so that we could tell you all together."
She paused looking at each one in turn. They all looked expectedly at her waiting for the news.
"I'm pregnant!"
Everyone instantly cried out in joy. Each one stood from the table to pull Mina into a hug and congratulated Aiden. Mina's father gripped his hand as he looked proudly at his daughter whilst her Mother and Grandmother tearfully clung to her.
Elle Danvers soon had her turn to hug Mina and cry joyfully. Then she did the same for Aiden. Only this time she pulled him down so she could whisper in his ear.
"Congratulations Aiden, I am so happy for you. Mina was a great choice."
He gave her a small kiss on the cheek before letting her go and pulled Mina into him.
"There is more," he said scanning the group.
They smiled at each other again before Diana once again couldn't hold her patience.
"Well, what is it?"
"We're having a little girl!" he said.
The cry was even louder this time which caused some of the staff to come in to see if everyone was ok. Mina apologised for the commotion and explained. The staff congratulated them by bringing them their signature lemon cheesecake as a gift. She had chuckled when they told her that they had opted not to bring alcohol.
---
It didn't take long for the people at the hospital to figure out that she was Aiden's wife. Mina's underlings had immediately bombarded her with questions the moment they could, having heard some gossip from a few others that had attended the event. She patiently and honestly told them what had happened and why she hadn't revealed who she was.
At first, she had been worried about gossiping and people thinking just like Tanya had. That she went after Aiden for his money. She needn't have worried. Once she explained what had happened it spread through the hospital like wildfire. She had people she had only seen in passing stopping her to congratulate her and tell her how amazing she was for how she dealt with her ex.
---
Several months had passed and Mina was now sporting an impressive baby bump. Aiden had insisted that she take early maternity leave, but she had put her foot down and insisted on staying on for as long as she could. Clay was going to take over for her until she came back.
Naturally, he had been shocked when she suggested it but Aiden and Daniel had agreed wholeheartedly with her suggestion.
"Think about it Clay, you've been with me for months. Aside from me, you know what needs to be done and how to do it," she had explained when he still looked reluctant.
"Clay, I trust Mina's judgement. If she says you are the best one capable to cover her work whilst she is on maternity leave then you are. It will only be for a few months until she feels ready to return and not a moment before," He said the last part staring straight at Mina who intentionally avoided his gaze.
She playfully smirked at Clay as she continued to pretend she didn't hear what Aiden had said. Clay smirked back knowing exactly what she was doing.
"Look, I'll only agree to this if you promise Mina that you'll come back. I love my job as your assistant. I will cover your maternity but not forever, ok? So, don't even think about becoming one of those yummy mummies that stay home and look after the children."
Everyone laughed before Mina promised him she would return. She assured him she loved her job too and wouldn't leave him to fend for himself.
---
Mina's due date had come and gone and she still was pregnant. Aiden chuckled at his wife when one evening he walked into their bedroom to find her completely naked. Despite her huge stomach he still found the woman sexy as hell. Being pregnant had given her confidence he had never seen before.
"Mina?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yes!" she asked innocently.
He slowly changed into some sleep pants and crawled, slowly, onto the bed beside her. She instantly attempted to wrap herself around him but the baby bump prevented it. With a huff, she moved on to her back and whined.
"Aiden!"
Again, he chuckled and turned onto his side.
"Yes, Mina?" he asked innocently.
"I need you!" she moaned.
"Mina! It's not a good idea."
"Aiden, I need this baby out of me already but she seems reluctant to leave me. I've tried eating spicy food, exercising, and acupressure and none of it has worked. Everything I have read says that sex can help induce labour too. Please help me!"
Aiden chuckled as he lifted his head and hovered over his frustrated wife. Slowly, he lowered his face to hers and captured her lips with his. She moaned against him and gripped the back of his neck to keep him in place. He moved one hand down her neck and gripped one of her enlarged breasts.
She squirmed under him as he slowly started to knead it. The palm of his hand rubbed against her sensitive buds and she moaned into his mouth. Then she stilled. Aiden pulled back and look at her in concern.
"Mina?"
She gasped and clutched her stomach. Aiden followed her movements and quickly realised what was going on. He sprung out of bed and grabbed his phone.
"Daniel, send Clay here and get the car ready. It's time!"
---
Clay came a few moments later and instantly grabbed their bags. Aiden helped Mina dress and then get to the car, she was soon rushed to the hospital. She was ushered into a private room and within a few hours, a beautiful, small bundle of joy greeted the world with a piercing cry.
"Everyone, I want to introduce Faith Danvers," Aiden said proudly as he held his daughter whilst everyone came in to see them.
Mina's mother, grandmother and Aiden's grandmother as well as Clay instantly rushed over and gushed over the little beauty. Mina's father and Daniel came to shake Aiden's hand whilst Mina's mother quickly took the child out of his arms. The women in the room took it in turns to hold little Faith.
Eventually, Clay had to force his way through to get a chance to hold her. Instantly he started tearing up as she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Mina chuckled tiredly from the bed as Aiden bent down to kiss her on the forehead. She sighed contentedly as she watched her family.
----
Several weeks have passed and Mina was truly happy. Her heart swelled with love every time she saw Aiden curled up on the sofa or bed, bare-chested and with a sleeping Faith on his chest, something he was fond of doing. She found herself looking at him, unable to interrupt the sweet scene.
That night Aiden had insisted that Clay take Mina out. To give her a night to herself, she was reluctant to leave but Clay was too excited for her to cancel. They decided to return to the same restaurant they had been to before when Ben had stood her up.
The hostess and waiter instantly recognised them. She smiled at their excited looks which quickly deflated when she said nothing would happen as it did before. Eventually, they left them alone and Mina turned to Clay.
"I don't think anything exciting happens here, so they are starved for it," he offered with a smirk.
"Speaking of excitement Clay," she started. "There's something I've been meaning to ask you. I've just not had the chance to."
"Oh? What is it? Ask away, I'm an open book to you," he offered with a smile.
"Well, around the time we first met. When I learnt that you and Daniel were an item. You said something about how you met, something about an abusive ex. My curiosity has been kept at bay long enough."
Clay chuckled at her as the waiter arrived at their table. They quickly ordered their food and were soon left alone again.
"Well, it starts like this..."
