I'll Teach You, Marianne.

After taking the medicine given by Doctor Caitlyn, Anne's sleep became more restful. She even woke up late when usually before Jack woke up, Anne would have woken up first.

"Anne, are you ready..."

"My wife hasn't woken up yet, Doc," Jack said quietly, cutting off Doctor Caitlyn's words as she was ready to call Anne from behind the tightly closed door.

"Anne hasn't woken up yet, has she?"

Jack smiled. "She seems to be sleeping very comfortably. Earlier when I woke up to exercise, she was still hiding under the blanket. I couldn't bear to wake her up."

Doctor Caitlyn smiled. "Very well, it seems the medicine she is taking is working well. Well, don't wake her up, sir. Let Anne sleep as much as she can."

"Ready Doc, I understand," replied Jack with a smile.

After saying that, Doctor Caitlyn left Jack to go to the park alone. Jack himself went straight to his room to continue his exercise on the balcony. Jack was forced to leave his room because he received a call from Aaron, who was in Korea. Because he didn't want to disturb Anne, who was still sleeping, Jack decided to take Aaron's call outside. They talked for a long time until Aaron had to end their conversation because Rose had ordered him to have lunch, because Korea was 8 hours ahead of Switzerland.

When re-entering the room, Jack smiled to see Anne who was still sleeping under the blanket. Because he had no intention of continuing his exercise again, Jack decided to take a shower because the sweat on his body had dried. But just as he was about to step into the bathroom, Jack was surprised by Anne's soft voice asking for a drink. He rushed over to the bed and gave a glass of water to Anne.

"It's enough?"

Anne nodded slowly with a smile. "What's the time now?"

"Seven o'clock in the morning," Jack replied gently, caressing Anne's cheek gently.

Anne's eyes widened instantly. "Why am I up so late? I have a schedule to work out with Doctor Caitlyn."

Jack chuckled amused at the way Anne grumbled. "Doctor Caitlyn will understand. Now what do you want?"

"I want to take a shower, I think soaking in warm water would be nice," replied Anne with a smile.

"Okay, Princess, let's take a shower then. I'll prepare the warm water first, you wait here, okay?"

"Yes sir."

Jack rushed to the bathroom, prepared the bathtub for Anne to take a bath. After sprinkling his wife's favorite bath salt into the bathtub, Jack then returned to bed and helped Anne to walk to their big bathroom. Jack deliberately postponed his bath for Anne first. He knew that Anne had a very difficult time moving, especially since Anne had had spots before, Jack didn't want to take a dangerous risk.

With love, Jack helped wash Anne's long hair, which was thick enough. Without using a t-shirt, Anne could see clearly his six-pack stomach.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Anne shook her head. "Nothing."

"Then why are you looking at me without blinking? Don't tell me you're mesmerized by my good looks, babe."

"Don't be big-headed, who is fascinated by your good looks?!!" said Anne curtly as she turned her gaze to another direction.

Jack smiled and put the shower he was holding back into place carefully. Without taking off his trousers. Jack suddenly went into the bathtub with Anne, which startled her.

"I missed you too, Anne," Jack said quietly, looking intently at Anne.

Anne's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She was sure that Jack knew what was on her mind right now. Anne slowly moved her hand towards Jack's hard stomach and played around the area long enough to make Jack growl.

"Anne..."

"If you want, we can actually do that, Jack." Anne immediately cut off Jack's words quickly without any shame.

Jack, who was worried about the condition of Anne and the baby, immediately woke up. He quickly grabbed Anne's hand, which was trying to feel his hardened cock. "No, Anne, not now. It's too dangerous, I don't want to hurt you and the princess. I can endure it for three more months."

"But Jack..."

Smack!

Jack suddenly gave Anne a kiss on the lips, which was thirsty for his touch quickly.

"Hold on a little longer, for the sake of the princess. I'm afraid she'll be hurt if we make love, Anne," said Jack again lovingly. "She is our precious daughter. I don't want anything bad to happen to her. You understand, don't you?"

Anne bit her lower lip hard, trying not to cry because Jack had refused her wish even though she had missed her husband's touch so much.

Seeing the expression on Anne's face that was very sad made Jack felt hurt. Actually, Jack also missed Anne but because he didn't want to hurt his daughter who would be born in a few weeks. Jack tried to suppress his desire. Jack gently touched Anne's cheeks and lifted her up so he could look at her.

"I love you, Anne, you know you're the only woman I want? Even when I'm living in Alan's memory I really want you too, so don't be afraid. I can't turn away from you. I can still hold myself back. Trust me," said Jack quietly, trying to calm Anne.

Bam…

Anne landed her punch on Jack's chest pretty hard.

"It hurts, dear," Jack whimpered in pain.

"That's your punishment, come on. Let's help me rinse. I'm hungry," said Anne curtly.

Jack could only wince at Anne's words. He carefully helped Anne to get up from the bathtub and into the shower to rinse.

While helping Anne to dry using a towel, Jack's blood rippled when he touched Anne's breasts, which were already getting fuller with milk. It would be hypocritical not to be tempted. Not only did Jack want Anne so badly, he was in so much pain. Tormented because of his passionate and unchanneled desire was really painful, especially when the woman he really wanted was right in front of his eyes and so tempted his faith.

"When I was pregnant with Christian I never took pictures, how about we do maternity photos like other people, Jack," said Anne quietly as she looked at herself from the reflection of the glass in front of her.

"M-maternity photos?" Jack stuttered to repeat Anne's words.

Anne smiled and looked at Jack who was standing behind her who was not wearing any clothes. "Yeah, I want to do a maternity photo. Me, you and Christian. Let's just say this is the first family photo of the four of us."

Jack, who was previously filled with dirty thoughts because he wanted Anne, suddenly fell silent for a moment when he heard Anne's words. So far he had never thought of doing a special photo shoot for the three of them. The photos that had been taken so far were for the purposes of interviews with several magazines and now Jack felt guilty because he had never thought of doing such an important moment in his life.

Anne raised an eyebrow when she realized Jack wasn't responding to her words. "Jack, you don't want us to do maternity photos like that?"

"No, not really, dear. I really agree, I'm just a little sad because I as a husband never think about such things. I'm sorry, Anne, I'm sorry for my absence for all your beautiful moments with Christian back then. I'm sorry, Anne, if I could turn back time, I would definitely do it, so I can always be by your side, so you don't have a hard time during your pregnancy with Christian," said Jack hoarsely. His eyes were already teary by now.

Anne smiled. Slowly, she turned around and gently wiped her husband's tears that had fallen down her cheeks.

"Don't remember the past, after all I wasn't alone. I had Linda and Paul looking after and keeping me company, so I didn't have too much trouble. Plus when Christian was a baby, he was really good. He never gave me any trouble at all. Now all we have to do is to live a good life together without any more suspicion or jealousy. We've been through a lot of trials in the past and to be honest I'm really tired, Jack. I just want to live happily with you until our kids grow up and have their lives respectively. Can you make my simple wish of mine come true, Jack?"

Jack immediately grabbed Anne's hands that were on his cheeks and immediately kissed them lovingly. "Of course we can, we'll live happily ever after. I promise you, Anne. Give me a chance to prove it all, okay?"

Anne nodded slowly and hugged Jack tightly. "I love you Jack, I love you so much."

Direct contact with Anne without wearing any clothes made Jack's calm male blood burn again, damn! The atmosphere that should have been full of emotion had to be dealt with great struggle for Jack, so that his manhood that had just fallen asleep wouldn't wake up again. But oh, the warmth of Anne's body! Jack could immediately feel that he couldn't endure it any longer. He was not a saint who would be able to stand it. Without speaking, Jack suddenly let go of Anne's arms and immediately took his wife out of the bathroom to their big bed which would soon witness how crazy the husband and wife were after holding back their respective desires for months.
