Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 244

“Of course, I’m stressed, and I should be. It’s been months and I’m still not pregnant…even though we’ve been trying and trying…” I said as my emotions took over me. My voice cracked and I started sobbing.

“These things can take time and stressing about it isn’t going to help and you know that. Don’t worry so much. It’s not like we’re in a rush…” Edward said as he stroked my head comfortingly.

“Should we go see the doctor…” I whispered desperately.

Maybe we need help from the doctors. Maybe we should just get IVF. Perhaps that is the solution to our problem.

“No. We’re not going to see the doctors or get any help about this. I think you’re over stressing and overthinking everything related to this and it’s starting to get very unhealthy for you. Your health physically and mentally is my top concern and not some baby that hasn’t even been conceived yet,” Edward said seriously.

“But…” I began protesting weakly.

“Our baby will come when we’re ready. From now on, I don’t want you obsessing over this. I don’t want you taking pregnancy tests or timing your ovulation. Let’s live life like normal, ok?” Edward said, his voice gentle like he was comforting a child.

“But I thought you wanted another child…” I whispered.

“I still do but I’m sure that our child will be here when he or she is ready. We just have to wait patiently…” Edward replied as he hugged me close to him.

“Umm…” I said in agreement as I nodded hesitantly.

…

It had always been one of my silly dreams to make a surprise announcement to my husband that I was pregnant with his child. Obviously, I had missed that opportunity with Reiner once before, although, I wasn’t sure if he would be overjoyed by my surprise or not. That just made me want to surprise Edward even more if and when I became pregnant.

However, that wasn’t the way that things played out at all…

It’s been a few months since we sort of called off our baby-making project. Edward was strict in monitoring me to make sure that I wasn’t ‘obsessing over’ trying to conceive. That included a strict ban on pregnancy tests and everything else that came with increasing my chances of getting pregnant.

At first, it just stressed me out even more that I didn’t know anything and didn’t seem to have control over anything. However, as time went by, I was able to go back to living life normally without over thinking about whether or not I had conceived.

Probably because I was less stressed than before, our sex lives also improved, and we had sex regularly. More like, we had sex very often. Of course, I did not time for my ovulation because it was banned. At first, I tried counting the days from my period but then I just stopped as time went by.

“How was your meeting with your clients today?” Edward asked.

“Can we not talk about work when you’re eating me out down there…” I replied before letting out a soft moan.
