ZUMA
This bitch is back why.
"Hello May why must you spoil my afternoon."
"Oh please your mouth is as fast as ever Zuma, i am a pleasure."
"Yes to those who dont know you."
"You know cousin i have known you for years and you are nothing but a rotten apple dipped in gold."
Allen started giggling at Mays furious face. She reached for him but i pulled him closer to me.
"Dont you dare hurt this child because you dont like hearing the truth."
"Hand him over brat."
"Last time i checked you were the brat."
"Oh Zuma watch your step you cant fight."
"Want to bet?"
"Grr"
She lunged at us and i kicked her in the shin. She fell flat on her face with a thump.Allen giggled and i laughed histerically. She got u steamed an dstormed off. I couldnt help but feel absolute joy.Allen rested his head on my tummy and seemed to fall asleep.
"ouch."
"whats wromg honey."
"The baby kicked me"
"Well thats good, you kno what my father used to say ,when a baby kicks you it means they like you and cant wait to se you."
"Yay"
I take my fathers ring off and put it on my stomach. My father always knew the gender of the maids babies, he was never wrong. I said the words boy an dgirl, the ring got warm when i said boy. im having a baby boy. I whisper the news into Allens ear an dsee the fireworks go off in his eyes. They dissapear instantly, i realize he is looking over his shoulder. When i turn around there is Alastor. This idiot who has dissapeared everyday since i got pregnant. Honestly all icare about is my child thathas to come into this broken world. I have to protet him, from everything as much as i can. I will die for him, now i know why my father loved me so, there is no words to explain, just feelings.
"Uncle has the baby ever kicked you."
"No"
"Yay he ikes me more than you."
"He?"
"Allen it was a secret."
"Oh i forgot."
Zuma werent you going to tell me?"
"Eventally."
He walked over to me an dsat down next to me. He placed his hand on my tummy an di felt a fire light in my, i dont want him to touch me, other than snuggling he hasnt given me any support.He has just dissapeared from morning to night fo teh past seven months. In the begining i could talk to Aires but he is off in Ielstof solving some issue. I miss him, my sunshine when i am tired of Alastor.
"So what is his name going to be Mierva?"
"Hmm i am thinking Kiran."
"Why?"
"Because it means 'ray of LIGHT'"
He didnt say anything, allen was overjoyed, dear lord i love him.
"Come Zuma it is time for dinner, Allen an join us if he likes."
"Ugh i dont want to leave yet."
"Is it that you dont want to leave or you are too lazy."
"I am too tired, my feet are killing me and i just want to sleep here. I think Kiran agrees."
I lay flat on my back and look at the sun, i really dont want to go anywhere.
"No your just being lazy, come on get up."
"No, im not hungry."
He rolled his eyes and left, i dont care what he thinks, he has just bee ordering me around,and has the guards cooping me up in my damn room for teh past few months. I sit there an dthink how thongs were so different a few months ago, he was overjoyed, now its like im a hore he has t do at the end of the day. I ant wait to have a reason to avoid him. I should only have two weeks left. I told Allen to go off to dinner an dto leave me a moment. I sat there thinking about how birth was going to be.I know how my species give birth but i was wondering if a sar would be left. I know that my body would naturally open right above my abdomen to let the baby out, then heal itself. That is going to be painful an dbloody. I hope i am in a bathtub when it happens, i dont like blood all ove my clothes.
"Ahhh"
Just then i felt a sharp pain in my stomach.NO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!! I immediately get up an dtry to say something but the pain was so bad. All of a sudden i feel my water break, dear god, really now you choose to come whn i just thought about it. I hurry upstairs and happily strip.Thankfully Alastor wasnt in our room. I sat in the tub an dlet it fil with cold water. I reach to the botom of my bely and i feel it opening. Jesus it feels like someone i cutting me witha knife. I reach for a towel and i pull it into the water with me. I keep my hand there to know wheni can start pushing.When i felt something and thewater turned red i kne wit was time.It was the worst pain in my life. After about thre or four pushes i felt th whole head in my hands and pulled him out.As soon as i cut his a,bilical cors i felt my wound begin to lose. When i held him i began to cry he was beautiful. he was crying but quickly stopped when i began to rock him. When the would completely closed i got out of the tub.To my surprise my tummy looked as if i had neve been preganat.YAYYYYY.BABA YOU ARE OFFIIALLY OLD< MEET YOUR GRANDSON KIRAN. I felt the ring get warm, he knows. I drained teh tub and reflled it luke warm. I washed him off as well as myself and got dressed. I wrapped him in a blue blanket an dwent down stairs. Jesus i am tired. Before going in i looked at him one last time knowing he is going to be scooped away from me in a hert beat.His wavy black hair was covering his closed eyes.I poked his rosy cheekan dhe wined. Laughing to myself i entered the dining room.
"Our little guest has arrived."
Allen was on eof the many that ran to me he got ther forst.I knelt down an dshowed him Kiran. Allen looked star strucked.
"Hello little Kiran"
The baby finally opened his eyes showing my purple eyes, yes he looks just like me. Kiran giggles and reached for Allens face.Perhaps they really are meant to be. Allen was pushed aside by baba that took kian feom me in a heart beat. Alastor seemed tofall to the back of teh line behind his mother. Baba was holdng Kiran like a gem.
"Excuse me can i have my child, i am the father after all."
"Wait your turn Alastor he looks just like Zuma no one would even know you two are related."
Alastor skipped the line an dtoo Kiram from baba. His fae was blank, no emotion.
"He doesnt even look like a boy."
"Alastro if you werent holding my baby i would punch you in th earm. Best believe i am ready to murder anyone who makes him cry."
"Jesus Zuma what has gotten into you."
"I have someone to protect>"
Alastor tried to pass Kiran off to his mother but sh estepped back.
"No thankyou i wanted it to be a girl."
"He isnt an it Helen"
Everyone looked at me shocked, I looke dat her with eyes of steel.
"Did you just call me helen, you arent that familiar."
"You havnt told me to call you anything els an dlast i recalled yo never introduced yourself."
I walked to Alastor took kiran and Allen downstairs to the kithen.
"Allen please could you get me some milk in a baby bottle."
"Yes can i help you feed him?"
"Of course sweet cheek"
I heard a door open, but it wasnt Allen wh stepped in, it was a maid, she had lothes in her hands.
"Here you are there were some boy clothes form years ago when, Ms. Himes thought shw was having a boy. But mis May was born instead."
"Thank you, ould you take them up to the room i am about to feed him."
"Yes Mr. Zuma."
"You can just call me Zuma"
"Ok"
Allen came back with a bottle of milk. Kiran was wide awake an dlooked at the mil with desire, he was so cute i couldnt help but laugh. I demonstrated how he should feed him, allen was exited while Kiran was getting annoyed that i took the bottle away. Allen did it perfectly. The two of them were so cute i wanted to ry. But as usual say it with me now, all good things must ome to an end. Allastor came down the stairs into the kitchen. He leaned on the wall with a crossed look on his face. Dear god what is his problem, he whines more than his son does.
"What is your problem."
"I am always second or third when it omes to my newborn son."
"Beause Allen was the one who was always there for me through the pregnancy while you dissapeared off to god knows where everyday. Plus Kiran kicked Allen an dnever you."
"Oh whatever pass him over. At lest let me be the second person." Allen huffed annoyed and gave the bottle over to Alastor. i got up an dhanded him Kiran. The sweet thing immediately began whining in his arms, but when presented with the bottle began cooing.
"Hm thats all you want huh, the bottle."
"Ayeee "
Poor baby he wanted that bottle badly. When he finally got it he held on to it tight. Allen yawned and leaned back on me. I picked him up an dpoked his cheek.
"Z-Zuma can you kick Alastor out of the room an dlet me sleep with you?"
"Not if you dont want him to strangle you. Alastor do you have a crib in storage perhaps, if so please have it brought it to the nursery i am going to put Allen to bed."
"What Nursery?"
"Well i have been having one prepared for months, i wasnt just going with the flow i had things prepared. It is the room seperating ours from Aires"
I walked out of the kitchen up the stairs and out the dining room. While tucking in Allen i imagined doing the same to Kiran when he is older. I kissed him on the forehead and blew out the candles in his room and left. When i got back to mine Kiran is on the bed next to his new clothes tossing his limbs like the baby he is.I pick him up and hold him in one arm while i take the clothes and hold them in the other, lord he is so tiny. After dressing him in a diaper cloth along with some trousers and a night shirt. He didnt fight me while dressing him at all, he was jut focused on putting his hand in his foot in his mouth and his hand in my hair. Note to self: Pull back hair when getting him dressed. As i started brushing his hair i realize that it is wavy like his fathers, at least he has that. I have never seen a baby born with this much hair, its going to be at his waist by the time he is five, thats if he chooses to grow it out. Its already at his shoulders. I pull it back into a ponytail and pick him up. Dear god i have never loved anything this much in my life before. Im not ready to put him to bed just yest so i walk back to my room and find Alastor dressed for bed and looking around frantically.
"Alastor what is wrong?"
"Good Lord Zuma i thought i lost him."
"He is fine just went to dress him, guess what he has you wavy hair."
Alastors worried expression shifted to joy, a small grin was on his face. I have to admit i felt a little joy watching him in distress, to be fair i did give birth on my own, and he hadnt helped me up until now. I couldnt help but laugh at him, i laughed while walking over to the bed.
"Whats so funny Zuma?"
"You went mad trying to find your son, you were so worried now but when he was in my belly you werent worried at all. So seeing you go mad made me happy."
"You make me sound like i wasnt there with you every step of the way."
"Because you werent, Gone by morning here by late night."
"I dont want to have an arguement with our son in the room. Please give him to me i was worried sick."
I hesitated for a moment but eventually hand him over. Alastor sits on teh bed and just holds him.I go into the bathroom to change and take a deep breath,what has gotten into me i am more fierce now and i like it. I get dressed ad walk back out to find , big bad Alastor playing with Kirans small hands. I hear him humming a catchy tune. He is such a softy under all that muscle.
"Zuma?"
"Yes you big softie."
"Do you still love me?"
"Lets not talk about that now."
I walk to my side of the bed and lay next to him. I must admit feel a little guilty for not answering his questions, but what was i to say. I was furious for at him for his lack of support, and habnt been focusing on our relationship.All i had cared about was my child. We still have to get married thats for sure. I hope we dont have to say vows. Like my father said if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. What was i to say? As i looked at Kiran my thoughts drift away, i lean over and blow into his soft little tunny causing him to giggle and squeal uncontrollably.
"Zuma when are we going to finally get married?"
"It all depends on you, for me the sooner the better, my people will become equal and will be happy."
"I didnt mean for that i meant for us."
"Us?"
"Love, not politics, why are you trying to avoid the topic, do you not love me anymore, do you love another?"
"Sweet lord! Dont be ridiculous, who else had i interacted with to make you think such a thing, to make you ask such a question?"
"You still havnt answered the rest of my questions."
"Fine, the truth is i expected my love for you to do nothing but grow during the time before Kiran was born, but honestly it took the backseat of the carriage when you werent around often and the only person i had was Kiran and Allen. I now see Allen as my own in a way, we have gotten closer, perhaps closer than you and i . All i have in my heart for you is memories of when we spent time together. So technically yes i do still love you, but no more than i love Kiran, i didnt want to actually say it fearing how you would react thats why i have been avoiding the topic."
He was silent he was now just staring at the baby between his legs with his foot in his mouth.
"Its my turn to ask a question. Where have you gone the past few months."
"I had um....hmmm.."
"If your trying to come up with a fib it is quite obvious."
"The truth is i had found new friend that were giving me advice about certain things."
"Such as?"
"You will find out later"
"When will i meet these friends?"
"I dont want you to"
"Why not?"
"You will meet them after we get married."
His face was now red and so was the tips of his ears, i couldnt help but laugh, was he insecure that one of them might just sweep me off my feet.
"Are you worried i might find one of them more attractive than you an fall in love?"
His blushing face turned hard, oh me oh my he really thinks that.
"Have you lost your dumplings you are the father of my child, who else should i love. Now if you hadnt had Kiran and never got pregnant then you would have a right to worry, with the way you have been disappearing lately perhaps a week before i told you i loved you there would be a possibility, otherwise that will never happen."
His expression was both crossed and relieved.I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"i am not your child so dont kiss me like one."
He looked at me an dtook me by the chin to planted a kiss on my lips, i heard Kiran scream and immediately broke from the kiss and looked around.There was no one but us.
"Kiran its rude to disturb me from kissing Zuma."
Huh oh he didnt want Alastor kissing me.I picked him up and kissed him all over his little face.
"Lucky baby"
"Stop pouting , you said not to kiss you like a child."
"Forget that i want to be kissed like a child now."
"No you are grown now, he is not even a day old."
"You win this round Kiran but wait until you are fast asleep he is all mine."
"Are you seriously competing with a baby, your own son actually."
"If i compete with Allen why not Kiran"
"Because you will loose.Kiran is waaaaay cuter than you, arent you Kiran, yes you are, yes you are."
ALASTOR
Note:I cant compete with him
