Chapter 492 - Four Hundred And Ninety-two: Hormonal Monsters

The third point of view:

"Dude, what the hell happened to you?" Niklaus asked the giant Emerald who looked like shit. His hair was tousled while he had a huge dark circle under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for a century - that would have been possible if he was a vampire.

Reina chuckled, making Niklaus wonder what was so funny about Emerald's unhealthy appearance, "He's taking his father role too seriously," she revealed to him.

Everyone in their circle knew how much Emerald was anticipating meeting his beloved child. There was no doubt that this child would be loved immeasurably.

Emerald sighed, simply running his hand through his hair, tracing down to his face, he rubbed down his features with his large palm. Who said fatherhood was easy?

This morning, before he got down to this place, Cecil had dressed up in her latest designs and twirled around in front of him like a model on a runway, waiting for his compliment. And then he made the worst mistake by saying.

"You're a good designer, Cecil. Also, you added more weight and I got to say, the dress looks good on you. Pregnancy suits you," was all Emerald said and yet that single comment changed the rest of his morning.

At first, Cecil had said nothing and simply stared at him like she had seen a ghost and then burst into heart-wrenching wails.

"You think I'm fat? You no longer like me because I'm fat, is that it?" she accused him, lips trembling.

"Of course not," He had tried to explain but then, she didn't even give him a chance and went into their bedroom, banging the door right at his face.

Emerald had tried walking in but she locked him out and to make matters worse, the spare key was in the drawer in their bedroom. Wonderful, right?

So right now, here he was, at the house of the two perfect couples who've experienced parenthood back and front and are still standing firmly, searching for advice on the "dos and don't" of pregnancy. He could have gone to Sakuzi but the man didn't exactly have a clean record of a complete family - yep, divorce and all.

Emerald wanted the best for his kid and wife which is why he isn't ashamed to ask and learn. He had an unpleasant childhood and promised never to let his kid experience the same and intends on keeping it, come rain come sunshine.

So gentlemen and ladies, let's welcome Reina and Niklaus, the couple of the year.

"What were you thinking calling her fat," Reina scolded him after listening to his narration.

"I didn't call her that," He clarified, shoulders tensed and jaw clenched. Why wasn't anyone believing him? "I just pointed out the fact she looked good now she gained weight. Well… that statement does sound like "fat"

Reina cocked a brow at him that said, "Really now?"

"Fine," He gave in, "She misunderstood me. Now tell me how to get out of this mess,"

Emerald resigned to fate. Honestly, he was tired. Not the tired in an I - want - to run - away - from - my - responsibility - kind of way, rather I - just - want - a - breather. These days, he could swear his brain had been turned upside down.

But then, if he felt this way. How much more, Cecil?

"Emerald," Reina began, "You should know that pregnancy is a beautiful time in life but is also a difficult time for a woman and a stressful time in one's marriage,"

"That makes me feel good," He said ironically. Emerald couldn't help but wonder if the baby would break his family apart or bring them closer - this was his first time being a father for crying out loud.

"No, don't be sad," Reina told him, "I'm just trying to say that in this condition that women experience a shit load of emotions, we became hormonal monsters -"

"Don't mind her," Niklaus butted in with a hint of laughter, "The hormonal part is what they use to use to deceive us, men, into becoming pussywhipped,"

Reina glared at him, "Seriously?"

"What?" Niklaus shrugged, "Is the gospel truth. We men literally become slaves during pregnancy,"

And just like that, Reina forgot about giving Emerald advice and turned to her husband, ready to argue it out with him, "Fine, let's agree to the title of you men being 'slave'?- as you claimed. But then, that is just a small sacrifice for getting us pregnant. It's nothing compared to what we go through!"

"Really? Getting you guys pregnant?

It takes two to tango, remember, honey? Both parties, male and female, were active in the procreation, and let's be honest here, you women are always the one moaning and pleading for it," Niklaus alluded to sex, imitating her sensual tone, "Ahh… yes… deeper… go faster… baby… fuck me… -"

But Niklaus didn't get to finish the rest of his "foolishness" because the red-faced Reina grabbed the cushion and whacked him right on the face.

"You animal! Fuck you!" Reina felt like rending him into pieces. How could he say that in front of their guest?

A ripple of laughter was drawn from Niklaus's mouth as he let Reina hit him with the pillow. He had intentionally riled her up and goddamn it, it was funny to see her angry face.

"Why don't I get rid of you and be done with your ass forever! Die you monster!" it aggravated Reina that the more she hit him, the more he cracked up. It was as if this was a source of entertainment to him. Weird bastard. What even drove her into marrying him. She must have been blind or under some sort of black magic. Yes, he must charmed her - with his sexual energy.

Fuck off, dirty thought.

"Guys. I came here for a solution, not to watch you both being all over each other," Emerald rolled his eyes.

With a final whack, Reina composed herself but not without giving Niklaus a glare that held dark promises - she was going to deal with him after this. However, Niklaus vexed her further by blowing air kisses to her and even had the nerve to whisper, "I can't wait, darling,"

Reining in the anger, Reina took a deep breath, pushing the thoughts of throttling Niklaus to the back of her mind, crossed her leg over the other, and continued with her therapy.

"Emerald, the truth is that even the most well-meaning of husbands struggle…" She gave Niklaus a pointed look while saying that, "But it's essential for soon-to-be fathers to provide support. What a husband does and, more importantly, what he says, needs to be considerate, effective, and helpful to the woman he loves. But don't worry, I'll give you a set of rules to follow so you don't make a mistake, "

He hoped so.
