Sven Filthy Modern Vikings

“I am sorry I overreacted. I’m just…not myself lately. Forgive me?” She asks puckering her lips up.

Leaning in to get ahold of those luscious lips, I take her in a kiss to end all kisses. It is full of passion, devotion, and promise. All of the things to come. Her tiny body rubs against mine as she stands on her tiptoes to deepen the kiss. When her hands come to my face and begin caressing my beard, I can’t help the growl that leaves my throat. Placing my hands on her ass, I lift her in my arms, and she wraps her legs around my waist.

“Fuck, precious. I want to take you so bad right now. But the doc will be here in a few minutes. Let him check you over. Please do this for my peace of mind. Ok?” She lays her head in the crook of my neck.

“Ok Sven.” She whispers. She is fucking sweet when she is not spitting nails at me.

“I love you so much precious. So fucking much.”

“I know. I love you too Sven.” About damn time.

Chapter Four

Cymion

For some reason I expected an old man because of the island vibe. But this guy, Dr. Coleman is young. He is maybe only a few years older than me.

“Have you been feeling lethargic for a while now?” He asks me. God. Am I wearing a sign on my forehead?

“A couple of months. I thought it was stress from some negative things I’ve had going on… issues lately.”

“Right,” he says sticking a thermometer under my tongue. It’s a rapid result, because it’s beeping before I know it. He stares at the reading.

“What?” I ask, the suspense is killing me. I know I haven’t felt great, but that’s just the baby zapping all my energy isn’t it?

“Your temperature is slightly elevated. Any nausea, vomiting, or upset stomach,”

“Nothing a little Pepto didn’t cure,” I say laughing.

“Right,” he says chuckling. “So how long have you known that you’re pregnant?”

“Is it that obvious?” I question, quirking an eyebrow.

“Well, I am a doctor. The signs of pregnancy are taught the second day of med school.”

“Ah,” I say, because what is there to say to that?

“I take it Sven doesn’t know?”

“Right. You can’t tell him, though. Doctor-Patient confidentiality, right?”

“Of course. But you do know he’ll figure it out soon enough. It’s my understanding that you won’t be leaving here for a while.”

“Great,” I say. Both dreading and strangely excited about not being around other people right now.

“Ok, I will fill a prescription for prenatal vitamins and an anti-nausea medication. I will give it to Sylvia the housekeeper, who’ll bring it when she comes tomorrow. She lives on the mainland and comes over daily to take care of the house.”

“That sounds good. Thank you for coming all the way out here. I really do appreciate it.” I say as he leaves the room. Sven rushes in after him.

“That was quick. What’s wrong with you?” He asks.

“Nothing is wrong. Everything is great.”

“What did he say?”

“He just confirmed what I already knew,” I say.

“And what was that?”

“How long are we staying here?” I ask, not answering his question.

“Not sure. Depends on how long it takes you to give me what I want. What did you already know?”

“What do you mean you don’t know?” I shout. “We have so much to do. I’m gonna need to go to a store.”

“A store?” he questions. He grabs my arms and I look up at him. “What the fuck is going on, Cym?”

“I’m pregnant,” I blurt out.

I kind of wanted to tell him in a cute way that was Instagram fabulous, but I knew that’s not necessary. At the end of the day, we are going to be parents. While I am super happy, he’s doesn’t look like he is though. I feel like the world is closing in on me and I start to freak out when he doesn’t say anything. Then I get pissed. Maybe it is irrational of me, but what the fuck did he think was going to happen? He’s fucked me daily since we met with nothing between us. Surely, he has some knowledge of basic human reproduction. What does the school in Bleak teach? Alright, I’m losing it. I gotta get out of here.

I wrench my arms away from him and turn to walk out of the room, leaving him in the bedroom. Heading straight out the French doors in the living room, I walk down the path to the beach. This island is a fucking beautiful backdrop to my whole world going down in flames.

Chapter Five

Sven

I am standing in a beautiful oasis in the middle of Fiji with the woman who has turned my life upside down from the moment I laid eyes on her. And I feel like it all has come to this moment. She just blurted out that she is carrying my baby and I am stuck in the moment after hearing the word ‘pregnant’ that I freeze.
