Chapter 10: 9. Louise Van Hill
After the checkup, she went to the mall to purchase some things to surprise her husband. She purchased a beautiful small donuts box where he put the ultrasound pictures of their baby. Second, she picked up a bigger box and put various items that Henry likes.
Henry arrived home and Sheri went outside and run into him. He loosens his tie, and Sheri straight away helps him take off his jacket and his tie, she passed them toward the maid who is standing next to them Henry grins while looking at his wife. Sheri looked at him.
"what?"Sheri asked.
Henry stroke her check and embrace her.
"My wife appears to be overly sweet today," Henry said but Sheri smirks at him.
"Come let's eat," She urges his husband.
After the evening meal, they went back to their room to rest. Sheri places her head at his legs while Henry is reviewing some documents.
"Darling, I forgot to give you one more thing." Sheri looked up at Henry. Henry stops all that his doing and looked at his wife who is walking toward her wardrobe.
Sheri went to her wardrobe and picked up the box she put together.
Henry looked at her when she hands it over to him.
Henry smile.
"Open it" Sheri anxiously spoke.
Henry unwrapped it, and he put out everything. He found a beautiful necktie, a bar of chocolate, a bottle of expensive wine and a beautiful box. He uncovers the box and studies the picture inside. He nervously looked at Sheri and asked.
"Is it for real?"
Sheri nod and smile "It's real, were two months pregnant"
Henry jumped from the bed and run towards the door and excitedly shout.
"We're having a baby." Shout Henry, and he went toward Sheri and pick her up and gently spin her.
The whole mansion was shaken with his joyful shout. Sheri giggles at his favorable reaction.
"Thank you, thank you, you make me so happy." Henry grins and kisses her all over.
Sheri giggled hysterically.
"Don't inform it yet to mom and dad we need to wait until the baby is absolutely safe. Besides, I don't want the family stressing with every move I make." Sheri remembers when his mother and her mother came and keep on advising her on what to do and even monitoring everything she does. They are both sweet but Sheri just want a stress-free pregnancy.
Henry looked at her and hugged her "of course from today on I will work at home."
Sheri was dumbfounded.
"No you won't that is unnecessary. I know you will be totally on my back the whole time, no way. Don't worry I will take good care of me and the baby." Henry pouts and looked childish toward Sheri
"This is our first child I want it to be there all the way," plead Henry.
Sheri laughed by his actions. In the end, she halts and agree with him. She allows him to work at home but with a few rules from her. For the next months, he happily worked at home and monitored Sheri. Sheri finds it also good since it diminishes the contact of Henry and the female lead.
Sheri was 24 hours taken care of by Henry. Every time she walked through the stairs he is always there. Everything she eats all were monitored by him. Sheri wanted to protest but keep all her frustration inside and look at the bright side. It also fascinates her to feel a life in her womb even though she cannot feel it yet still a wonderful feeling arises deep with in her.
After 3 months, and they got a confirmation from the doctor that the baby is stable. They already planned to announce it toward their whole family.
Henry and Sheri made an excuse to have a barbecue on their mansion. Mr and Mrs Bacht together with the patriarch and also Louise parents came. Everyone was having fun when on the middle everyone got a present from Sheri and Henry.
When each one open their present they were still for a few minutes and later a shrill of joy sounded. Specially their mothers. The present were a small t shirt or shoes or any baby things. After disclosing their pregnancy with the whole family they were all delighted and hug her.
"Oh honey we are so ecstatic." warmly said by both of their mothers.
The father of Sheri looked at Henry and taps him in his back.
"Good job, you can bind her now forever."
Henry laughs and shakes his head.
"She's the one who tied me up." Henry warmly said while looking at his wife who's talking toward her mother and his mother.
Luckily the only symptoms that Sheri has is vomiting and the rest she doesn't have any problem.
Each family member came every day at their house making Sheri felt loved at the same time frustrated. As the months go by, both Henry and Sheri decided they wouldn't want to know the gender of their baby, so they waited, after 9 months.
Sheri was well protected and well taken care of specially Henry. When her hormones rises, and she can easily flip and without any reason just ignores Henry. Henry nevertheless was very patient with her. At first, he had trouble sleeping but after consulting to the doctor he found out that it's her hormones the one who is playing.
Before the due date of her giving birth. Sheri and Henry decided to give birth at home with water birth. When her water broke. She immediately called Henry. Henry was not panicking at all and Sheri was surprised that he was so fast in his preparation. He was very well coordinated and immediately everyone was on stand by. She can literally see a man that is very capable. No wonder why he can turn the business of the Bacht family into an empire.
Henry tried his very best to calm. He doesn't want to make any mistake, so he wanted to be calm and think what he was supposed to do. His heart beat is beating fast. He felt like his heart will start to get out from his chest while looking at his wife laboring.
Sheri at that time was trying to push and with the help of the midwifes and doctors. Sheri gave birth to a baby boy. Who looks like exactly as Henry but his eyes are from Louise.
Their parents and the patriarch were waiting outside all were nervous. Louise mom has a complication when she gave birth to Louise that is the reason why they couldn't have another. All of them were
nervous.
When they hear a baby's cry they wanted to go in, but they are still not allowed since Sheri is being cleaned.
When they are allowed they went in and saw Sheri holding her newborn baby. They name their newborn baby Arnold.
They all tear up while Sheri and Henry was mesmerized with their addition to their family.
"Thank you" Henry affectionally kiss Sheri's forehead.
The rest of the family were very delighted when they saw the baby boy. All of them wanted to hold him but Sheri was busy breastfeeding him.
Medically speaking the first breastfeed is the most important.
Sheri was so tired that she has no more strength to entertain them. The next few days. The whole family was there. Sheri started to have a headache when the only time she can see his son is when it's feeding time. The rest were all personally done by Henry's mother and her mother.
Henry was only there supporting Sheri, helping her to move.
One day while they are walking Sheri stop.
"Henry I am not fragile. I am really healing up very good."Sheri said
Henry smile and look at her affectionally.
"I know your strong but let me just pamper you."
Sheri's heart full of warmth, and she lay her head on his shoulder.
"Your such a nice guy." Sheri said and smile.
Month has passed by and Sheri was enjoying every single day with her son. She never had a hard time because the whole family has provided a nanny but Sheri and Henry still wanted to have a hands-on experience. She only wakes up when it time to feed her son and someone does the rest if she is tired.
The workers in the mansion was surprised when they saw the changes of Louise. She has become kinder and generous. She never yells and she always respects them. Every
