The Billionaire's Kept Woman

Chapter 258 - Friends Are Family

Johanna was busy humming and making a handmade baby first robe. She had the best materials and she didn't decorate it for a baby girl or baby boy, that's why she chose a white fabric rather than any color. She was too focused on sawing it and didn't realize that it was lunchtime.

"Love, I have been calling you." Connor approached her. She stopped working and looked up at him. "I know that you are bored, but really? Do you have to skip lunch? It's already one in the afternoon."

"Oh," She looked at the time. She didn't feel hungry at all. "Baby's not hungry."

"No, you have to eat." He seemed to have just arrived from his trip.. "What do you want me to cook?"

"Anything," She said.

He went to her mini-fridge and took out the sliced fruits and placed them on the table.

"Love, I'm serious. If you don't eat that when I get back, I will get really mad."

She nodded her head and watched him leave. She finished the line on the robe and she stood and took the glass container of sliced fruits. She took the fork and started eating. Somehow, she felt a whole different person as she ate and contemplated. She was used to working a lot and forgot the most important thing like eating. She didn't want her baby to become like her so she obeyed her fiance most of the time.

She finished her fruit and she continued with her work after wiping her hand so she won't stain the cloth. She continued with another baby robe. Next time she's going to make something with colors. She carefully placed it over the table.

"Love," Connor came and gazed at her lovingly. He grinned and quickly rushed to her and hugged her from behind, nearly squeezing her. "You are so adorable."

"What?" She looked surprised.

"Anyway, lunch is ready and you make adorable baby robes." He caressed her tummy.

"Thank you."

"Let's have our lunch so we could check for the baby's gender."

"I thought we are having a gender reveal~~"

"Yeah," He kissed her neck and then her cheeks. "Keira is with us. She's going to meet us there."

"That's sweet of her." She held his hand over her stomach.

"How's baby?"

"Well, our baby was a little energetic." She smiled. "I think he or she will be like her cousin Kal."

He laughed and nodded his head.

"That's adorable."

Kal was very much energetic but there were times that he was silent and observant. That's what Connor noticed about Kal and he also drank a lot of milk so he won't be surprised if they would always run out of milk.

In their lunch, Connor noticed that she wasn't picky and she only ate whatever was on the table. He was more worried when she craves something hard to get but he loves her and he will do everything to get it. There's nothing that money can't get in this world. Even money can buy happiness nowadays.

"I made dessert last night. You didn't eat any of it."

"You did?" She was surprised that he made dessert when he was busy with the mission.

"Yes," he stood and took out the mango float that he made.

"Looks delicious."

"It's your favorite." He took the small spoon and gave it to her. She smiled happily as she ate the dessert. "My baby is happy." He murmured and grabbed the camera and took a photo of her quickly while she's busy savoring the dessert. "Tomorrow, I will make strawberries, fresh and sweet ones."

"How about kiwi? Can you try it?"

"Sure, love."

The couple got ready as they went to the private hospital. They arrived in the hospital shortly, Keira and Alessandro are already there with their video camera. The siblings hold each other's hands and Keira stayed with Johanna as they spoke to the doctor. It only takes a few minutes when they come out and Keira will be the one that's going to claim the result.

"So, where are we heading?" Connor asked while holding his wife's waist.

"How about Asian Season?" Keira suggested. "Or we could go to the mall and buy the stuff that we needed."

"I thought mom's gonna take care of it," Johanna asked. "But yeah, we could go to the mall so I could buy materials for my baby's clothes."

"You are making baby's clothes?" Keira exclaimed.

"I am." Johanna smiled.

"You should teach me that! Or maybe make one for me when I get pregnant!" Keira was ecstatic as ever.

"You are so enthusiastic that I might think that you are high."

Alessandro laughed and patted his wife's head.

"We have it two times before we leave the house. Maybe that's her drug."

Connor burst into laughter as Johanna frowned.

"Please, I don't want to hear the details." Johanna waved it off but Keira was still grinning.

They went to the Super Mall. Connor was protective of Johanna. Somehow, Johanna felt like she's enjoying this little getaway. For the whole weekdays, she's almost always in the house since she already takes a leave from work. She got bored and all she does are useful things, like knitting and making baby clothes.

"How many did you already make?" Keira asked as they walked into the fabric store.

"I already made three bonnets. I already embroidered flowers and other things…"

"When did you learn that?" Keira caressed the cotton fabric.

"When I watch television. Mom gave me patterns for the designs and so I made it." Johanna smiled as she seemed to enjoy her new hobby. "I can't get other hobbies since this man won't let me do other extreme things."

"Babe, I can't let you do other extreme things. That's just way too dangerous for you and our baby."

Connor sighed and held her tummy.

"Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable." He looked at her sneakers and stopped her. He knelt and fixed the ties.

"That's sweet." Keira took a photo of them secretly.

He then fixed the other one and stood as he held her hand.

"I want that fabric." She pointed to the pink one. "Was it a girl or a boy?" She asked Keira.

"Why won't you make two for both genders?" Keira shrugged. "Even if you ask me again, I won't tell you."

"This baby better won't look like this man," Johanna grumbled as Keira burst into laughter.

"I hope that it looks like you." Connor grinned. "Don't think of me too much so our baby would look like you."

"Whatever."

"Babe, if you get pregnant, you should always admire yourself in the mirror if it's a girl," Alessandro told his wife.

"Sure thing." She giggled and wrapped her arms to his biceps.

"Guys, are you going to buy or continue flirting?" A voice of a man said as they turned their heads to James Mondragon with a woman.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Alessandro asked with a big grin as the two did that secret handshake.

"Well, we were just passing by when I saw familiar faces." James put a hand over the girl's back with him. "This is my baby, Natasha."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Natasha bowed her head as Keira scanned her with an amazing look on her face.

"Wow, beautiful," Keira grumbled.

"What?" Alessandro asked her. "Are you having a fangirl thing again?" He covered her mouth. James laughed so loud and pulled his girlfriend closer. "Sorry, Natasha. She was in an ecstatic mood today.

"What did you feed her?" James asked. "Full of orgasm?" James covered his mouth as he started laughing.

"Ugh," Johanna complained. "I swear, if you guys tell all of the details, I will punch each of you." Johanna threatened them.

"Sorry, pretty woman." James waved off.

Johanna turned back as the salesman approached them. She pointed out a few things and how many yards that she needed.

"Is she sawing or something?" James asked as Natasha looked around for fabrics.

"She has been making baby clothes since she took a long leave from work," Keira answered.

"That's amazing." James nodded his head. "Uhm, I am also searching for good fabrics for my love's gown."

"Gown? You guys are getting married?" Keira asked.

"No. We will attend a few events in our family." He said.

"Okay,"

"Uhm, I'll speak to him for a while," Alessandro said as Keira nodded. James told Natasha to stay with Keira.

Keira and Natasha started chatting while Keira was watching James speak to Alessandro intimately and they did that handshake again but she noticed that James passed something to Alessandro. She didn't know what her husband had planned but if it's about business or their family's protection, she wouldn't say no.

"I saw your husband many times with James," Natasha said.

"Yeah, they have been friends since childhood." She agreed to Natasha. "So, you were James's girlfriend. How's the family going on?"

"You mean, his family side?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah," Keira bounced her head.

"His mother doesn't like me. I think his cousin does too."

"Well, as long as his dad and his sister like you, nothing else matters. Andro was a very good friend of mine."

"She's very kind," Natasha said. "I thought that she wouldn't like me because she looks… you know, intimidating."

"Indeed." Keira chuckled. "But she's protective of her family and friends. That's why we love her."
