My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 58

The next few months passed faster than I was ready for. Elias and I were practicing with Rhett. Elias was slowly getting the hang of it. My stomach was expanding more than I was expecting. I expanded all the way to eight months. Our little baby was growing so quickly and he or she was healthy and thriving. My stomach got so big that I couldn't see my feet standing up. I wobbled like a balloon, my feet were swollen, and I couldn't even sleep comfortably anymore. I was always tired and cranky. I got weirder food cravings and mood swings.

I wobbled down the stairs to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. I opened the fridge and grabbed a banana with some hot sauce...

Yeah, the cravings were that weird.

"Hey beautiful," Elias said as he entered the kitchen and kissed my cheek. I felt my lip tremble as my eyes watered. I burst out in tears. Elias frowned and quickly pulled me into a hug. "Oh crap, Nova, what's wrong? Is it the baby?" he asked. I sobbed as I nodded.

"I'm fat and swollen and you just lied to me to make me feel good... You must really love me," I cried. Elias hesitated before he chuckled and kissed my head. I cried against his chest for no reason at all.

And there go the mood swings...

"You are more beautiful than ever, cupcake. I'm not lying," he chuckled. Elias chuckled while I cried. He laid me down on the couch as he began to rub my feet with a smile ghosting his lips.

"It's not funny!" I glared at him through my tears. He couldn't help but to laugh.

"I know, honey," he smiled. I huffed a breath before I sniffled and wiped my cheeks. Alexa and Mathias walked into the house hand-in-hand. They frowned when they saw us.

"What's wrong?" Mathias asked immediately. Elias smirked at me before turning to his parents.

"She cried because she thought I was lying to her to make her feel better," he explained with a chuckled. A few more tears slipped out as I sniffled.

"He said I was beautiful," I cried in a small voice. Mathias and Alexa laughed as they sat at the other couch. Alexa held one of my hands in hers.
