~Zion's POV~

As soon as I walked into the room, I could see the signs of fatigue beginning to appear on her face. Even though she was resting, I could tell she was exhausted. I was aware that all she required was some rest, but I imagined that these elderly people would be hovering over her. My bloody family and their boundless enthusiasm. The very idea made me laugh out loud. She appeared so pallid earlier. I really hope there is no harm done to the baby. Lord, I dread disappointments. And what if it turns out that she is not pregnant? It's entirely a figment of my imagination. I'll keep waiting till the nurse or the doctor comes in. I was alerted to a sound at the door by a rapping.


'Zee baby, can I come in?"

'Yes, grandma."

She walked in and started massaging Maya's legs. I observed how thoughtfully she was performing each step, and she gave off the impression that she was having fun doing it. While she was massaging Maya, she kept looking over at me and smiling the whole time.


'As you know, Zee, I performed this action on your mother while she was pregnant with you, and I am aware that your wife is also expecting a child. Could it be that you already knew?"

'Yes, but I was uncertain." My granny beamed a smile at me.


'Last night, as soon as you stepped in the door carrying her in your arms, I had a good idea that she was pregnant. I could tell by the expression on her face that she was exhausted because she was so pale. But excitement took over when she woke up today. Even though we are getting on in years, we still have plenty of pep in our steps." She gave me a grin before continuing with what she had been doing before. 'The family doctor will be here anytime from now." She said.

'Grandma, do you believe she will be alright?"

'Stop acting like such a spoiled brat, Zee; there is no need to worry about your wife's wellbeing. You should hurry into the kitchen and have Oliver cook a ginger and garlic soup for her since it will give her the strength she needs."

'Alright."

I knew this was going to happen. My folks don't care about me anymore. All the love and care have now shifted to Maya. When I entered the kitchen, Oliver was in the process of adding something to the bowl.

'Here, take this; it will help Lady Archer. Go, go, go." I looked at her with a questionable stare. 'Zee, that's ginger and garlic soup, now go?"

Everyone in this house is concerned about my wife at the moment, but nobody is concerned about me. I mean, I made the baby, it was my dick, I should receive all the praises. But everyone in this darn house wants Lady Maya to be okay. They are making an extraordinary effort to help her, but I haven't seen anyone make an extraordinary effort to help me. After entering my room, I was greeted by both the family physician and my grandmother. Grandma took the soup and chased me away.

Hold on, this is supposed to be my bedroom! I yelled inside my own head.

Maya will have to pay for all this when she wakes up. I will fuck the living daylight out of her. These folks are my people, yet right now I feel like an alien in my own home because of her. I turned around and went back to the terrace where my grandfather and my father had been laughing at me for the look of frustration on my face.

'Did grandma chase you out?"

'Yep," I answered, and I sat down to watch them play chess.

'Trust me, it will get worse. This is just the beginning unless you want to make a break for it and head back to J-City. My dad laughed so hard. Son, let me tell you when your mother was pregnant with you, I had a very similar experience to the one you are having. It felt like I was living in a foreign country, even though it was my own home. It was as if your mother was your grandmother's child, and I was just some random person." Both of the men laughed at me, and at this point, I'm looking for a decent strategy for my wife and me to get out of this hell before the end of the week.

'Do not even entertain the thought of running away because if you do, granny will have to accompany you back to J-City. Just stay where you are and pretend like you are unaware of what is going on around you."

I pray and I pray that she won't forbid me from sleeping with my wife because I am going to die if I stay a day without touching her.

'Zee." I heard my grandmother calling me. Maybe there is something wrong with my wife. I ran to my wing, leaving the two men to continue laughing at me as they watched me leave. As I approached the front door, I noticed that my wife had already woken up. As I approached her, I had a distinct impression that this was the reason why I had been sent; nevertheless, a hand suddenly halted me in my tracks.

'Bring some water."

The fuck! We have workers in the house; why should I bring water? Of course I on,y yelled that at the back of my head.

I questioned my grandma by looking at her with a confused expression, 'Do you want me to repeat what I just said?" She queried.

'No, ma'am." Like a good little kid should. The fuck, why did I come back here again?

'Good!"

After I had finished closing my door, my foot came dangerously close to striking it. What is wrong with that old woman? How could she possibly call my name and ask me to bring a glass of water? Lady Maya is just pregnant, not sick. Wait a minute. There is a possibility that my wife is not even pregnant, and yet this woman has already started converting me into a house helper. The fuck grandma!

I got into the kitchen, and Oliver again passed me a glass of water. Hold for a second. Are all of these individuals plotting something against me? How did Oliver know I was here for the ginger and garlic soup before, and how did she know I wanted water now? I brushed everything off as unimportant and went straight back to my room. Grandma reached out with her hand to grab the water, and before I could react, she yelled at me to

'Get out of here!"

Can't I fucking spend time with my wife? I yelled inside my own head.

'Your wife is expecting a child, so please accept our heartiest congratulations, Lord Archer." A hand prevented me from running into the bedroom to thank my wife for making me the happiest man alive by giving me the opportunity to be a daddy.

'I said leave the room."

This is my fucking room, for heaven's sake!

I can't curse out loud. I could only mutter curses to myself. I returned to the terrace to discover two men laughing at me.

'Did you get a glass of water?" Grandpa busted out laughing at my father's question.

Is this some kind of joke? I thought to myself.

'Wait for it, Brian, 3,2,1" Grandpa said while laughing

'Zee!"

You've gotta be fucking kidding me!

Sex strengthen bab'y bones

~Zion's POV~

Regardless of how hard I had worked today, I was not okay. The only time Lady Archer was awake was for a little period of time before she fell back to sleep. I long for her charm. I miss picking on her. Her eyes were closed, and the sight of her doing so does not make me feel at ease. I knew my grandmother would be calling for me soon, so I waited at the door in anticipation of her voice.

'Zee." My grandmother called. This time around, it was gentle. When I entered, she had already gotten up and said, 'Stay here with her; I need to rest."

My grandma was leaving, and I couldn't help but stare at my wife's stunningly pale face as she sleeps. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm going to be a dad. It's so bizarre. I kept her company while she slept by holding her hand and gently brushing her hair. I am praying that she wakes up before my grandmother starts worrying about her. My thumb moved from her lips to her jaws, following the contours of her face. She let forth a quiet, gentle groan. I couldn't help but crack a grin as I took in her incredibly seductive appearance. I saw a quiver in her eyelids, and then they started to slowly flutter open. At first glance, she appears to be lost, yet upon closer inspection, her eyes are clearly observing the surrounding area. After that, she made an effort to stand up, but she was still unsteady on her feet, so I went over to her and assisted her into a more comfortable sitting posture.

'Hey, baby," I said, cupping her cheeks.

'Hey." She flashed a happy smile.

'You scared me to my very core. How are you feeling now?" She didn't respond; instead, she leaned down to hug me and consoled me in silence.

'I'm going to be a mother, Zion."

'I know, sweetie, I know" I hugged her even tighter and said, 'You have just completed me, Lady Archer."

After a moment, she pulled away from the embrace and let out a sigh. I could sense that she was anxious about the prospect of becoming a mother. But Maya has the ability to triumph over any challenge. She is my Maya. The pain in my feet was excruciating, but I observed that she appeared to be in good spirits. She needs to get some exercise, and of course, make amends. I couldn't help but smirk at the idea of sending her up and down.

'Maya, I'm starving, and my feet are killing me from standing all day."

'Alright baby, give me a minute while I go grab you something to eat."

She walked back into the room with a platter of food. I ate, and she took a try back. I observed that the color of her face had changed and it was no longer pallid. When I moved my leg in her direction, she immediately began massaging both of my legs. She went inside the bathroom, took a shower, and came back to dress up. I followed suit. She wanted to leave the room because she knew I would start sending her up and down. I locked the door behind me and just stood there, staring at her. Her cheeks were reddened.

'Zee, what are you doing?"

Since you've been sick, I've been running around like a damn mail boy. Of course, she doesn't need to know that.

I knew that my eyes were lustful at the moment, and she fucking understood what it was that I desired. There is no fucking way she'll turn me down. I will not give her the chance. I grabbed her and pinned her against the wall.

'Are you trying to deny me what is rightfully mine, Maya?"

'No, my love, it's just that I don't think sex is good for the baby."

'Correction, bies. Babies."

She looked at me with her eyes wide open. But I had other plans for her. I claimed her lips and escorted her to bed. I placed her on the bed and took in all her glory, and went back to lock the door.

~Maya's POV~

When Zee went back and locked the door, I knew I was in deep doo-doo. What did that old woman do to him that he began sending me around as his maid, and now this sex, or whatever the hell you want to call it, is a punishment? I know my husband is punishing me, but for what? When I looked at him, I realized there was no turning back now. There was no escape. The man was hard and his eyes, Oh, Lord! I'm sold! I tried to get away from him, but he was able to keep me in the same position. It was almost as if he was a burglar getting ready to steal something. He grabbed my hand and raised it to his mouth for a kiss. It was brief, nevertheless, it sent shivers down my spine.

'You see, Lady Archer, today was a very busy day for me. I've never been busy like I was today."

My husband's punishment is sex. When I thought about his anaconda being inside of me, it caused me to squeeze my thighs together tightly in an effort to contain any juice that could have been leaking out. He got out of bed, unbuckled his belt, and took off the t-shirt he was wearing. Then he proceeded to sit down on the bed. 'Come." He stated this as if I were under hypnosis, I went and stood between his legs. 'Sit." I wanted to sit on the edge, but he took my hand and said, 'On me." What is wrong with this man? Out of the blue, I found that I was raging with desires. Because I am pregnant, I know that I shouldn't feel this way, yet I can't help but feel it.

'My Lord, it is not good for a lady to have sex while she is pregnant." He frowned,

'Who lied to you? Sex, in fact, strengthens the baby's bones. My goal is to raise sons who are as powerful as The Rock and Roman Reigns."

I really can't get out of this one, can I? I cursed under my breath.
