It'll Come Naturally

his pocket the entire time. He opened the box, took the necklace out, and put it around Leena's neck.

He shrugged apologetically. "I wanted to surprise you, but didn't expect I would end up being surprised," Kevin explained. "I prepared a gift for you. Close your eyes first, and no peeking." Checking that she couldn't see anything, Kevin took out a box that had been inside "What is it?" Leena asked curiously. But she kept her eyes closed as Kevin told her. Leena still had no idea what her husband got her. Still, her heart melted at the thought that Kevin would buy a gift immediately after his two-month training stint.

"You can open your eyes now," Kevin said softly. He examined the necklace he had put on Leena, and took a deep breath as he admired the way it made her look utterly beautiful. The necklace accentuated her gorgeous neck. Her face nearly glowed with the silver chain, which made her skin lighter. Perhaps, it was pure happiness that made Kevin think he had never seen Leena look this lovely. He was hoping his wife would appreciate the gift.

"Is it a necklace?" Leena asked as she opened her eyes. She had felt Kevin's hands around her neck and made the right guess. It pleased her that he thought of her during his training and presented her with such a wonderful surprise. Leena bet it was a gorgeous piece of jewelry. "It's actually a ring. But I put it on a silver necklace so you won't ever lose it," Kevin said. His thoughtfulness touched Leena. It was a promise Kevin made to his wife before that he would pick rings for them himself, and he remembered to do it.

"But why are there two rings?" Leena asked as she inspected the necklace. She felt two rings on the silver chain, and this confused her. Did Kevin give her two rings? But why?

"You know that I'm a soldier, correct? So, I'm not allowed to wear a ring when I am at the army base or on a mission. That's why I decided to let you keep my ring, too. This way, you can look at it whenever you think of me. Think of it like I'm beside you all the time. Do you like it?" Kevin said. There were many things he regretted not having done for Leena. But he could still make up for them now. He had the rest of his life to cherish his wife and love her, and he would start showing her now. With a baby on the way, everything seemed perfect in his life.

When she understood, a smile lit her face. "Yes, of course! Thank you, Kevin. I will definitely cherish these rings," Leena said. She leaned forward to kiss him ardently. There were unshed tears in her eyes because she was genuinely touched by what he had done. The pregnancy made her more emotional than usual. But she badly wanted to let her husband know how much she loved him through a passionate kiss.

"Oh, have you told our parents about the baby?" Kevin suddenly asked. He broke the kiss, however much he wanted it to go on. Did his parents know about the good news? If they did, they must be ecstatic.

"No, they don't know. I was waiting for you, that way we could tell them the good news together," she replied. Leena thought it would be better for Kevin to tell them about her pregnancy, instead of her. That was why she kept it a secret and waited for Kevin to return before making the announcement.

"They'll be thrilled when they hear of the good news!" he said. Though Kevin's parents said they didn't mind if they couldn't give them a grandchild, they still felt sad about it. His folks also didn't want to pressure Kevin and Leena. Besides, they knew she was a good girl, and a good daughter-in-law, so they said nothing so as not to hurt her feelings. It made Kevin happy to have such understanding parents and never brought up the subject again.

"Yeah, I think so, too. I think your parents would probably be happier than we are about the news. I know they've long been waiting for a grandchild," Leena said. She was in Kevin's arms, her head on his shoulder. The woman sighed deeply. At that moment, Leena felt like the happiest woman in the world. She was content where she was, with a husband who was deeply in love with her, a healthy baby on the way, and friends and brothers who cared for her a lot.

"Is there something you want to eat now? I can go out and buy it for you," Kevin offered. He remembered Lee saying that Leena could not stand the smell of seafood because it made her sick and vomit. Thinking of this, he suddenly became anxious knowing that her condition was due to the pregnancy. Kevin believed it was better for pregnant women to consume more fish and seafood than meat. Leena needed protein right now. That was why he wanted to know what his wife wanted to eat since she couldn't stand the smell and taste of fish.

"No, I don't want to eat anything right now. Speaking of which, I almost forgot that there are a lot of things that I bought and are still in the car. I can't bring them with me all at once because they're pretty heavy. Can you do me a favor and go downstairs to get them?" she requested. Several things were strewn all over the living room floor. Thinking that there was a robbery in their apartment, Leena had thought it best for the things she brought herself to remain in the living room for a while before she figured things out.

"Of course. I'll go get them right now. And next time you need to buy something, call me. Wait for me to go shopping with you, so you don't have to carry heavy bags yourself, okay?" Kevin said worriedly. After learning about her pregnancy, Kevin started worrying more about his wife's well-being. She had to be extra careful now because of the baby she was carrying. Kevin didn't want anything to happen to the baby or Leena. He knew this child was priceless, a gift from God. And they were both grateful to have the chance to be parents, so Kevin vowed he would take good care of his wife and child.

"Okay, I promise," Leena told her husband. She knew Kevin was both happy and worried about her condition, so she agreed with everything he said to make him worry less about her. Leena knew she had to be careful, and she too was aware of how blessed they were to have a baby on the way. She would not let anything screw this up. Besides, she was also aware that Kevin rarely had free time, and he would not be able to accompany her every time she went shopping.

"Good, that's settled. I'm going down to get the things now. I'll be back in a bit," Kevin said. He was out the door instantly. Meanwhile, Leena immediately walked to the bathroom inside their bedroom. She wanted to have a close look at the gift Kevin gave her just now through the mirror.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

She had never been the type of woman who cared a lot about gifts because she was a practical person. But Leena didn't mind receiving a significant gift from her loving husband. And just like every girl who received a gift from her beloved, she was delighted. Leena wanted to inspect the rings that signified their deep love for each other.
