“Soap flavored cream corn soup?”
Akram almost called out his words, staring at Xavier with a look of disbelief.
“Yes, Sera said she wanted to soak in corn cream soup, so I created foam soap with a soothing foam viscosity and a pleasant aroma of corn cream soup. You know, it took a lot of experimentation to produce the exact same aroma as the corn cream soup in that restaurant. For this time, I definitely made it.” Xavier flicked the paper in his hand in satisfaction. “This one has definitely worked,” the repeat then as if trying to convince himself.
Xavier's relaxed reply made Akram move his hand to the base of his nose and squint there in frustration. She had heard of many husbands using all means to please her pregnant wife, herself already being part of such husbands. But only this time he found a man as crazy as Xavier who created soap with thick foam scented corn cream soup to soak his wife.
“You think Sera would be happy to receive it?” Akram asked in an uncertain tone.
“Why not? Isn't that what Sera wanted? He's the one who said it himself, isn't he?” Xavier answered straightforwardly, without guilt.
“You don't think it's just a hyperbole phrase Sera used to praise the delicious corn cream soup she ate? I don't think he really wants to soak in that soup liquid.” Akram looked at Xavier with an irritated look. “You may have a very genius brain, but I think you should study women better, Xavier. Women usually love the fragrance of flowers or the scent of fruits for their soaking soap foam, who wants to soak in an onion-scented soup?”
“My wife will love it.” Xavier replied in a confident tone, completely unshakable with Akram's advice. “I think your wife will like it too. You know that if Elana really likes to eat, she'll be happy with this soap. Do you want me to make you an extra one?”
“No thanks.” Akram flicked his hands in annoyance, knowing for sure that it was better that he would not interfere with Sera and Xavier's affairs any further. “I have to go now. Let me know if you have time to see the body.”
Without saying another word, Akram turned around and stepped out of the door he had closed behind his back, leaving Xavier submerged back inside his lab room as usual.

Sera opened her eyes when she felt a strong enough shock in her stomach. He let out a long sigh when he felt the surface of his stomach skin stretch and harden, before then a kick felt a lot of pressure from inside his uterus to feel on the surface of his stomach skin.
The age of the womb is not seven months, but the condition of his stomach is very large makes it difficult to move so that during the day like this, Sera uses her time to nap and rest.
In fact, the condition of her pregnancy was not at all problematic, she routinely checked her womb to the doctor according to Xavier's request and the doctor said that both babies were healthy without any significant problems. The problem was only with Sera herself. She actually did not have a significant eating disorder, did not refuse certain types of food and also did not experience severe nausea vomiting, in fact, arguably her appetite increased drastically after she passed the four-month pregnancy period. Unfortunately, that enormous portion of her meal seemed to have simply absorbed everything to her two babies and was barely left to her, making her body likely to be thinner than before, while the stomach grows longer and bigger with unbalanced proportions.
Yes, only her stomach grows bigger as she ages. That is why, when viewed from afar, when Sera was standing, she looked like a poor little woman hugging a large round bundle in her stomach.
Indeed, it was not a problem for Sera, because the most important thing for her was the doctor's statement that her two babies were growing as healthy and strong as they should be. But his body said something else. Her tiny legs had begun to swell because they could not bear the weight of her heavy stomach, even with her back and pelvis that hurt, she said, it was as if his bones and muscles were protesting for having to work hard to support his large-sized stomach.
The kick was felt again, this time it was so strong and pressed against his bladder, that Sera felt a strong urge to urinate urgently.
Slowly Sera let out a long breath. With conditions like this, even to urinate feels very troublesome. To reach the real bathroom space close by, Sera had to drag her swollen, aching legs to get her body there.
“You hungry?” Sera softly monologued while saying a question to her baby. The kick in his stomach was indeed accompanied by a rumble in his digestive tract, a sign of him starving. Sera had fallen asleep until she only had time to eat a snack before noon and had not had time to eat her lunch. Xavier had told the servants to let Sera rest and not disturb her sleep, so that no one would dare to wake Sera up for lunch.
Sera's eyes glanced towards the wall clock. It turned out that he had slept two more hours because the clock had shown at half-time. He should feel hungry.
Sera's head lowered, then her hand moved to rub her distended stomach in a gentle manner trying to calm her two children who were kicking in there.
“Wait a minute, let mom pee first, after that we eat, yes?”
Sera is used to talking to her children in the womb even from a very young age. He knew that his son might not have developed a perfect auditory system so he could not hear his voice clearly or understand the meaning of the sentence, but he knew that his son understood it with the language of the heart, a universal language of compassion that can be understood by two beings bound by the strands of affection between mother and child.
Sera moved her body from the bed. These days, getting out of bed is more difficult than usual and sometimes Sera needs help just to sit up and stand up from the bed.
Usually Xavier always helps her patiently, but today Xavier is busy confining himself inside his private lab to do mysterious research that Sera does not want to ask him further.
Living together for several months, of course Sera understands how dangerous her husband is when it comes to toxins and viruses. Her husband was a great creator, unfortunately his creation felt too horrible to imagine. The man may be creating the latest killer poison and Sera decides she won't ask. He could not imagine how terrifying it would be to listen to Xavier explain excitedly how the poison of his creation would affect the human body or how dangerous it would be to contaminate living things.
He better close his eyes and pretend he doesn't know. Sera looked over and decided while shaking her head slightly in order to expel those horrible thoughts from her mind.
At the same time, the door of his room opened and Xavier stood there, stepping into the room. His steps were getting closer to the bed when he saw Sera was struggling to get out of bed.
“You want to go to the bathroom?” xavier asked quickly, eating Sera's large bulging stomach with a little anxiety. The age of the womb is not yet seven months, but the stomach is already this big and makes Sera difficult to move.
Even though there are still two months left..how will the fate of his wife later if her stomach grows bigger than this?
“I want to pee.” With Xavier's arm, Sera had managed to sit on the bed, her wide eyes raised, looking at her husband with a look of shame mixed with hope. “Will you help me to the bathroom?” tanyanya.
A gentle smile immediately flashed on Xavier's lips. He knows his wife for sure, Sera is a typical woman who wants to be independent and does not want to depend on others. However, the condition of her pregnancy seems to have pressed the limits of Sera's strength to the end, which is why the woman was forced to ask for her help.
It was Xavier who knew best how difficult it was for Sera to ask others for help, which was why, when Sera asked like just now, it was obvious she would not waste it.
“Of course.” Xavier replied quickly, the man then bent his body and scooped Sera into his arms before then lifting Sera's body into his sling, not caring for Sera's shriek was surprised because her body swung rapidly suddenly into her husband's sling.
“Xavier!” Sera called out her husband's name in surprise. “I only asked for help to be swept into the bathroom, not to be carried. Lower me, my body heavy,” Sera exclaimed then in a panicked tone.
Xavier chuckled and continued walking to the bathroom without caring about Sera's words.
“Not heavy at all,” he replied later in a soothing tone. “You must give me a chance, Sera. When else can I hold a wife with my two children at once if not now?” then, laughing with a cheerful tone.

“You should press the button next to your bed to ask for help when you can't get out of bed, don't try yourself and don't push yourself.” Xavier watched Sera anxiously as she gave her advice. His wife was stubborn and sometimes had to be forced to obey. “Did you hear what I said?” tanyanya.
Sera's cheeks are still flushed. Xavier was advising a little boy who did not obey his parents and that made Sera feel ashamed.
There was nothing Sera could do then other than to nod her head slowly to answer Xavier's question. He knew himself to be wrong and stubborn, and he did not want to argue further with Xavier.
For several months they have been living together as a husband and wife who support each other, and unexpectedly it turns out their married life is quite calm without any ripples that mean.
The only forbidden discussion that could make Xavier lose his gentle demeanor was when Sera raised the conversation about Aaron. When Aaron's name was mentioned, Xavier instantly turned into his terrifying self like he used to be, dark and full of sinister killing aura. They then had a violent quarrel that led to Xavier's vicious threat to double his prize so that the assassins beheaded Aaron and delivered him to him.
The incident finally makes Sera learn that she better not raise the conversation about Aaron in front of Xavier for the safety of Aaron himself. At least, he was able to calm his heart temporarily, because from what Xavier said back then, most likely Aaron's life is still saved today and the man is still alive somewhere somewhere now.
Knowing that Aaron is still alive, it is enough for Sera and he decided not to bring up Aaron and suppress all his curiosity about Aaron's current condition, at least until she gives birth to her children.
Now Sera was sitting on the bed, leaning her back on the headboard, while Xavier sat on the edge of the bed and fed the last mouthful of soft milk pudding as her lunch dessert.
Earlier, after helping Sera in the bathroom, when she found out that Sera had not had lunch, xavier quickly asked the chef to send a full lunch menu to the room before then feeding Sera with his own hands before Sera could refuse him.
Previously, the food menu sent by the chef to meet Sera's large appetite during her pregnancy seemed to fill the serving table until there was almost no place left, complete with dishes full of nutrition and filling that may be too excessive portions to be eaten by one person only. But now Sera's eyes were watching the entire empty plate that was toilet on the table and left only the bowl of pudding that Xavier was feeding her.
Yes, Sera's appetite was so great that she could spend portions of those foods alone.
Sera's hand rubbed her stomach gently and her lips extended a smile. Both babies may be satisfied with the fullness, which is why they are calm in there and do not actively kick around like before.
Xavier's own eyes followed the direction of Sera's hand movements and his lips joined the smile.
“They really like to eat. That's why they became so big this fast.” Xavier's hand finally placed the pudding bowl that Sera had pressed onto the table, the man then followed Sera's hand movements to gently rub Sera's distended belly. When he raised his head then, Xavier's eyes turned unusually anxious. “They'll still get bigger again, while you're even thinner. Can you bear it? Wouldn't it be better to just have a caesarean section to get them out faster? The doctor said the procedure was possible, didn't he?” slowly tanyanya.
Sera smiled, the woman placed her hands together to cupped Xavier's hands in her stomach, then squeezed the man's hands gently.
“Xavier, our two babies are twins. Even when born at the age of nine months and ten days, they will be born with a weight and body size smaller than ordinary babies. How can we force them to be born at seven months? Premature birth is very risky for both of our babies. Besides, I'm fine. There are only two months left and I am the one who knows the most about my own condition. I guess, I'll be strong.”
“You must be strong and I will support you with all my might.” Xavier's voice raspy as the man seemed to struggle hard to suppress his overflowing anxiety and emotions.
Sera looked at Xavier fondly. Somehow the longer he lived with the man, his love that was not revealed until this moment was increasingly overflowing until almost unfulfilled again. It made Sera feel afraid, afraid that later she could not hold back again and expressed her love carelessly to make Xavier feel fed up and leave her.
It was that fear that made Sera all her might lock her feelings firmly, keeping her from being legible.But now, seeing Xavier so fragile in front of her, made Sera's love overflow uncontrollably. Her eyes softened as she opened both hands towards Xavier, then offered warmly towards her husband.
“You cuddle?” whispered soft.
No need to wait for long, Xavier immediately accepted it, the man shifted his body closer, then hugged Sera carefully, keeping the weight of his body from pressing on Sera's large bulging belly.
“I'm sorry for making your body have to bear this kind of burden.” Xavier whispered hoarsely in Sera's ear, then kissed the woman's temple with great affection.
“I love the whole process of my pregnancy and I don't blame you, Xavier. This pregnancy is a boon to the bodies of all women, it is not a burden. So, don't keep wallowing in guilt and anxiety, huh? I'm a strong woman and I'm fine.” Sera whispered softly in the chest of the man who was hugging her, trying to calm down.
“I know you're a strong woman. However, being a strong woman does not mean you are forbidden to lean. Promise me, if you are already unable to support yourself and need me to help you, you should tell me without hesitation.” Xavier rubbed Sera's hair gently. “Resort to me. For now, I am your family. Families should support each other, right? Promise me you will be strong. Promise me that you will stay with me.”
Sera nodded her head. The word ‘family’ somehow touched his heart and made his eyes spread filled with tears.
“I promise Xavier. I will come to you if I am not strong anymore. I'll hang with you,” whispered later, closing my eyes in the strong arm that calms him down.
For some reason Sera was suddenly attacked by a beam of fear. A fear if it turns out later he can not keep his promise to the man.
