He is crying in his sleep!!
"Scott" Jean gently called. Though she felt suffocated it didn't matter anymore. Her husband is crying!!
It twisted her heart. She is sure that he is having nightmare and that is about something happening to her.
Scott just calmed down and realized that he is dreaming. He sighed in relief and that is only when he realized that he is holding his wife very tightly.
"Sorry baby" Scott hurriedly released his wife and apologized to her.
"It's fine hon" Jean smiled sadly and hugged him. Like always they are sleeping n.a.k.e.d and Scott buried his face in crook of her neck.
Jean smiled sadly.
"A nightmare because of me right"
"Mmm" Scott hummed. Her unique fragrance is enough to make him cool down.
"What is it about? Did something happen this evening? Iris came and after that, you and dad disappeared for almost three hours. Later dad came and kissed my forehead while I am sleeping, that's it….I didn't see him after that" Jean said.
Scott sighed. His wife will never let anything escape her eyes. Why is she always vigilant?
"Baby…" Scott hummed.
"My nightmare is not related to anything. It is just a random one...as your due date is so near I am recently feeling very restless. Baby...don't ask me what my nightmare is about because I don't remember at all" Scott kissed her lips lightly.
"Sad that you can't gave your usual medicine" Jean teased her husband. At least in this way he will get distracted…
"Hmm...this little brat will come out in a week. After that at least we can make out without interruption" Scott grinned.
Jean giggled and closed his eyes with her hands, which started feasting on her body. She covered herself with quilt before she freed his eyes.
"But…to get what you wanted you still have to wait patiently for a month." Jean teased her husband.
"Hmm...I know right. But after that one month don't even expect for slightest ounce of mercy from me. And you should not even blame me saying that I am a beast….which I will be for sure" Scott's husky voice made Jean shiver.
After flirting for some time they fell asleep in each other arms. This time Scott didn't have any nightmares and slept soundly till his mother woke him up.
"You...you are not supposed to sleep on bed. You might hurt the baby…." His mother shouted just enough for Scott to listen.
She don't want to disturb Jean's sleep.
"Mum…..let me sleep" Scott mumbled and hugged Jean even more tighter.
His mother sighed in frustration and sprinkled cold water on his face. Scott jolted awake but he is cautious not to disturb the pregnant lady whose head is resting on his chest.
"What now? Can't I even sleep here" Scott scowled at his mother only to make her more frustrated.
"I don't care. As long as I feel like you are hurting my daughter and grandchild I will not spare you even a single chance. Not get your ass out of the bed" his mother retaliated back..
"I am taking holiday for whole week remember." Scott frustratingly whispered.
"Edward is waiting for you downstairs. There is something important he wanted to talk with you and Julian is in his private jet coming back. Even he wants to meet you in your office in one hour. So, don't play around and get ready" she hissed and stormed out of the room.
Scott pursed his lips. "Coming back? He muttered to himself and looked at his sleeping wife.
He couldn't help but sigh. Things are getting pretty complicated that he couldn't comprehend what to do.
Kissing her forehead, he gently helped her to dress up and then he left to freshen up. As soon as the bathroom door got locked from inside Jean opened her eyes.
Since the start she has been listening to the conversation between her husband and mother in law. It seems like something is not good however, Jean decided to not think about it.
Her grandmother has already warned her not to take any kind of tension or pressure. Due to her fluctuating BP and weak condition she is highly warned to be extra careful.
Jean sighed in defeat and closed her eyes. Though her mind is itching her to think about it, Jean couldn't help but concentrate on sleeping.
After her struggle for another half an hour it is only when she drifted into sleep. Meanwhile Scott who just came out dressed in his work attire kissed her forehead and lips.
After making sure she is comfortable enough, Scott exited the room.
...
Jean woke up again at afternoon. Just like everyday she woke up and had her breakfast. After that she chatted sometime with her brother's and slept again.
"Jean, Seline just got admitted in hospital. Though the labor haven't started yet, her expected date is tomorrow" her mother in law excitedly said as she brought her food.
Jean chuckled and her face brightened with excitement. "I wish I can be there with her now. Mom, are you not going? She needs you" Jean worried.
Susan chuckled. "No problem Jean. What if something happens to you here if I go and stay there. I will be very worried" her mother in law patted her head.
"Mom, my grandmother and my aunt are here with me. Moreover, if something happens all in sudden Scott has already prepared everything. Seline needs you more than me right now. You must go" Jean convinced her mother in law who reluctantly agreed.
After her mother in law hurriedly went to hospital to look after her daughter, Jean returned back to her room to sleep. However, she slept more than enough.
As Scott didn't come yet, Jean started getting bored. Even Jeff and Jasper are busy downstairs to give her company.
With no other option left Jean opened Scott's laptop to see their photos and videos.
