After reading the new list, Helen stopped breathing altogether. She had to take deep breaths and sniff her tears away before smiling at Lu.
"When did you make this list my dear?"
"When you came home"
"I will give up anything to do this with you." Luna reflected a bright smile and said,
"Really, mummy?"
"I'll be there. I'll take you to school, not every day, but I promise on some days, I will. You can introduce me to your classmates and friends, including
your teachers." Helen swore, sniffing more of her tears away. "Come here."
Luna excitedly hugged her mum and Helen hugged her tightly, saying, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here. I love you,."
"I love you too, mummy," Luna replied.
The rest of the drive to WHO was an emotional one for Helen. She missed so many months with her little girl, she vowed to make up for it every day.
**********
TWO MONTHS LATER ...
Last night, Max made love to Helen in the kitchen, while their little girl slept, snuggled up with Mr Puff her stuffed toy in her arms. He arrived very late at home, and she waited for him, made a simple dinner for him in her white satin nightgown. While she was garnishing the plate with rice salad, she got banged on from behind, and it was incredibly thrilling.
There were nights of endless pleasure .Helen had tried to put him off as gently as she could. She had told him that they couldn't, that Luna could surprise them anytime! She tried and tried, but was unsuccessful. Her efforts have been in vain when he touched her like this … And held her like that…
She mumbled his name in pleasure as he lifted her off the kitchen counter, and she couldn't help but give herself to him entirely.
All that thinking about it…about yesterday, about him, made Helen incredibly ignited. Trying to deny her thoughts, drinking all the tea from her mug, but it didn't help. Helen finally imagined being filled by him that she swore her panties were wet.
"Good lord." She huffed and grumbled. She fanned herself with one of the leaves, squeezing her legs tightly together, struggling to stop the arousal between her inner thighs. No matter what she was trying to do, it wasn't working at all.
Her colleague and friend Nazreen walked in, giving her the schedule for the next day, and said: "Hels, are you okay? you are sweating all over, but your office is so cold."
"Haha! I'm fine. Im starving" she lied. Nazreen nodded and offered, "Well, aren't you going out to lunch? You might as well get that craving satisfied. There's a pretty good restaurant across the street."
When Nazreen left, Helen gave it some thought. Meanwhile, she continued to press her thighs together, trying to get her lust under control. It was as if his scent was calling her. She found herself staring at her phone, hissed and said, "What am I doing?" Finally, she decided to give in to her impulse. After calling David to pick her up, she ordered lunch at a nearby restaurant and headed to WHO office building.
She used to come to the same office building nearly every day for meetings. Now, she was coming over to have her version of craving. David merely dropped her off at the lobby while he parked the car in the parking area. Knowing exactly where Max’s office was, Helen went past the reception area and into the hallway.The woman at the front desk obviously didn't know her, so she called her out.
"Excuse me, Miss, are you a visitor?" Helen studied the woman. Then replied, "Yes, I'm here to see Max"
"Dr Goodwin?" The receptionist said, leaning back.
"Elsa! That's Doctor Sharpe! The boss' fiancé! " The other receptionist called the young lady.
"Yes, Excuse me. I need to see him," Helen said before pressing on the elevator.
She got into the elevator and waved at the receptionist goodbye, and she waved back, saying, "Nice to meet you, Doctor Sharpe. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
Helen made her way upstairs to Max's office, carrying the food, and as soon as she passed the front rows of assistants, they all stood up as a sign of respect.
"Hello, Dr Sharpe." A lady walked over to her, saying, "Dr Sharpe, May I carry the boxes for you? Dr Goodwin and Dr James are in a meeting in the main conference room. Do you want to wait in his office? " Helen smiled brightly. She could not help but be pleased with how everyone on the floor knew her. She gave the young lady the boxes and said, "I'll wait in his office."
She walked in front of Max's door and heard her man's voice calling out to her. "Hels!" Max was smiling from ear to ear, seeing her. "Did you come to see me?" He asked. Helen nodded, smiling back at him. "I thought I'd pay a visit."
Max excitedly turned to his companions. "This is my beautiful fiancé and the mother of my daughter, Dr Sharpe." This is the second person in less than five minutes to say that. Helen's eyes narrowed and she flinches at the word fiancé and gave Max a question mark look. But he didn't pay any attention to it or simply chose to ignore her look. Even if they were taking it further into their relationship. Fiancé?
"Helen, I mean Dr Sharpe is the lead of the oncology and haematology at the Grangettes clinic. They offers multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary care for cancer patients. Also head, division of oncological and oncohaematological centre for children," Max proudly introduced, after pecking her lips.
"What a beautiful fiancé you have, Dr Goodwin." an older man said "Well, since your fiancé is here, then we better get going," the same man said. Dr James ushered Max's visitors, and they walked into the office. The young assistant placed the food on Max’s table and excused herself.
When they were alone, Max wrapped his arms around Helen, pecking her lips. "What a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?" Helen kissed Max's lips. When she pulled away. Her face was burning. She bit her lip as her hand moved down to his pants. She grasped his member, which instantly became hard at her contact. She giggled, "I wanted... to see you."
Helen squeezed Max's member as she began stroking it up and down. Max hissed, already feeling aroused. "You should... visit me daily, babe." he said with a smirk.
"Now, you wanted to see me?" Max asked, lifting his brow. Her face burned again, and he was delighted to see that he still had such an effect on her. He pulled her back into his arms and suggested, "Shall I ask not to be disturbed?' With a nod, Helen replied, "We've - we have never done it in your office." They were carelessly removing each other's clothes.
"Well, we will explore other places to make love, other than our home," Max said before crashing his lips into hers.
Their lips remained locked, and their tongues intertwined, as Helen unbuckled Max's belt, pulling down his pants. She did not waste a second before she dropped to her knees and put his member inside her mouth. Max threw his head back, shutting his eyes. When he opened his blue eyes, his gaze was fixed on the way her full lips enveloped his width.. He especially loved how Helen watched him the entire time.
Things had been crazy lately, the last few months had been wonderful between them and Helen had obviously regained her place in the Goodwin home as if she'd never left. Luna was still worried when she had to leave Helen, but things moved on pretty quickly. There was always chemistry between them, the kind of people who could look at each other and talk without having to open their mouths.
On an intimate level, Max and Helen have always been very strongly linked, but since they got back together, let's just say Max couldn't get through a night without worshiping Helen's body.
Helen spread her legs as soon as Max climbed on top of her. She was expecting him to do the deed right away, but instead, he still took the time to please her. Her body shivered, toes curled when Max’s tongue played with her clit, his fingers thrusting inside her core. Moans easily left her lips, Orgasm came quickly. "I want you inside me now." She demanded, "Now, Max, Now !!"
Her brows met as she watched him between her thighs, his hand holding his dick. Being fully penetrated, Helen moaned endlessly. Max eagerly pumped in and out of her, making her reach another high in no time, Calling his name repeatedly as he exploding into her womb in no time. "Fuck, I love you so much."
After making love, they lay next to each other, kissing. They spent about three minutes numbing their lips before Helen pulled away and said, "Let's eat. I only came here for lunch break. I might have a meeting."
Max narrowed his eyes. "Did you come here for a quickie? You hurt my feelings." he asked. Helen laughed and kissed his lips "We did not do a quickie. We did the whole thing, from foreplay to finish, and we kissed at the end. It wasn't a quickie." she said rolling her eyes.
"But, we always go for a second round. One round is a quickie for me." Ignoring his suggestion, Helen got up and picked up her clothes. She said, "We can go for a second round at home." Max smiled.
"I think you tore my skirt a little," She complained. "But, it's okay. My coat can cover this up."
"I'm sorry. I was too excited," Max said while getting up from the couch and hugged her from behind. He covered her neck and her whole face with kisses, asking, "Please stay longer."
Helen giggled. "I can't. I am meeting someone before two in the afternoon. It's already twelve-thirty." She turned to kiss Max and said, "Let's eat, I'm hungry."
They ate very quickly, then Max walked Helen out of the office and into the driveway. David was waiting to drive her back to the oncology and hematology institue.
She arrived at her office on time. At four in the afternoon, she was about to check on her schedule when Kim her assistant walked into her office and said, "Dr Sharpe, there is another patient to see you."
"Who?" She asked.
Kim chuckled and replied, "Your regular patient, Dr Sharpe." When Kim left, Max walked in, smiling.
"What are you doing here? Didn't we just see each other?"
"Round two," Max replied before locking the door and pulling down the blinds.

In the succeeding days, Benett's birthday came quickly, and it was with Max and Luna that Helen decided to go. Luna was really excited to be able to meet people other than her father, mother and her friends. The girl talked about the birthday party for days, and even though Max made it clear that it was an adult's birthday party and that there would be no clowns or puppets, the little girl replied that she didn't care because she wanted to meet Benett and Lucas because Helen talked about them all the time.
At Benett’s party, her husband Lucas was the first to greet them in the living room. He offered Helen a hug. After embracing her and greeting Max, he pointed to Helen’s smiling face and then back to Max. Lucas announced, "See that? The sun around has returned!" Glancing down at the little girl, he said, "And this is clearly the little Luna. Hello Luna, I'm your uncle Lucas.
Benett followed behind her husband. She hugged Helen while she greeted, "Happy Birthday, Beautiful." Seeing Luna, Benett said softly, "You look so beautiful in your yellow dress Luna."
"Thank you, my mum bought it for me!" Luna said as she turns on herself to show off her dress.
"Your mummy is so kind. isn't she? you know she's my best friend?"
"Yes I know." Luna said, then clinging to Helen’s legs. "You're the best mommy in the whole wide world,"
Helen gently brushes Luna's hair, "Aww sweetheart" then bends down "You're the daughter any mum could have, As a matter of fact, you're the best little girl in the whole wide world." At Helen’s words, luna clings to her mum’s neck and pecks her face with dozens of kisses.
"All right, all right Lu, that's enough," Max said, trying to unwrap luna's hands around Helen’s neck. Benett chuckles
"I'm your auntie Benett ! but you can call me Ben. It's nice to meet you, beautiful girl."
"I have auntie and uncle?" Luna asked as she looks up at Helen and Max, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "That means more gifts for me?! Laughter echoed around the space.
Helen seconded Luna’s claims, "Yes, that's right, baby. Uncle Lucas and auntie Benett will give you gifts on birthdays. They won't miss a single holiday either."
"That's a promise," Benett raised her hand and vowed. "As long as you don't go anywhere else, okay, sweetheart? Your mummy was so sad being alone for a long time." After hearing Ben's comments, Max tightened his grip on Helen’s waist and laid a kiss on her temple.
Benett kneeled down.
"In fact, you don't have to wait for your birthday sweetheart. I have a gift for you."
"Gift for me? But it's your birthday?" Luna said.
"'Yes, well, I still have a gift for you,"
"I get a gift on your birthday, auntie Ben?" Luna asked, and Benett nodded and winked.
They guided the little into the garden, where an inflatable bounce house had been set up. Lucas declared, "That is yours! But I had it inflated, so you can use it during the party!" It was a small bounce house with a slide, around six square meters.
"Say thank you" Max said.
"Thank you very much auntie Ben and uncle Lucas." She said shyly. While the little girl played with her gift, a few kids joined her. Helen followed her little girl, " Lu be careful"
"Hels, the maids will look after them here. You can enjoy the party with Max," Lucas said, winking at her. Max guided her to a table, Like earlier, he always had a hand on her back.
"What would you like?" Max asked.
"I can get my own food," Max, she said.
"I know you can, but I want to get them for you," he insisted. "I don't want your feet to feel sore. You are wearing high heels." He leans down and whisper the comment in her ear. I like the way your hips naturally sway, especially when you are wearing heels. Then he lifts her chin, eyes bright as he states this "It's a sight I want to be the only one seeing."
"Pfft!" Helen rolls her eyes "It's just a little walk, but if you insist. Do I need to tell you what I like, though?" She asked with a bright smile.
"You don't."
First, Max brought Luna’s favorite dishes. Afterward, he returned to the buffet to get her a salad. When Max arrives at the table, he mixed her greens before setting the salad in front of her.
The entire time, Helen studied him and rested her cheek on her fist. She recalled the past and compared . There was not a single day he missed telling her how he felt, how much he loves her. He had been so attentive to her, a little too attentive, but she could not help but enjoy the attention, anyway. She leaned in and pecked his cheek. When Max turned to her, he smiled softly, moved closer and kissed her lips.
She kissed back, and they pulled away, grinning.
"Mummy, Daddy, kissing. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes babies!" Luna sang before chuckling. She sat in Max’s lap and asked, "Mummy, Daddy, can I have a brother now?" Helen's was so embarrassed that her face turned red while Max chuckled.
Following Luna’s question, Helen turned to Max for help, but this man said to their little girl, "That's entirely up to your mummy."
Helen’s mouth fell open as she glared at him. 'Great, so much for the help.'
"Please, Mummy. Please. I want a sister and then a brother and then a sister again!" The little girl said, counting with her fingers. Before Helen could answer, she saw Benett walk in. "Oh, look. It's auntie Benett! " She found a perfect excuse to change the topic.
"Hi, Auntie!" Luna waved.
They were all mostly done with their meals when Benett turned to Luna and asked how was her summer holiday and her life in Geneva. Lu happily shared how she loved her new home, her new school, her new friends and how people talk funny here.
Luna said, "I'm going back to school soon."
"That's great, Luna," Benett said, giving the little girl a high-five.
"And guess what, Auntie Beny?"
"Beny?" Benett asks, looking at Helen and Max with a grin, her lips soundlessly forming she’s adorable
"Yes," Luna frown, shaking her head up and down and replies, "I like it more than Ben, so I decided to call you Beny. Is that alright with you, Auntie?" looking up quickly from her ice cream, her big blue eyes staring into Benett's same blue eyes.
"You're absolutely right Luna, why didn't I think of that before?!"
"It's not a big deal auntie, you can't think of everything." the little girl said
"Thank you Luna, now tell me what you had in mind?"
"Well," Luna starts, putting her spoon down, It seems that what she's about to say is of the utmost importance.
"Mummy and Daddy will give me a brother or a sister soon!" Lu announced, making Helen choke on her wine.
***
As the evening went by, Luna was exhausted, and was sleeping on her mother's lap when they decided to go home. "Now, let me take you to your room." At his words luna suddenly woke up, standing firmly on her two legs,
"My room? But I want to stay with you," Luna begged as she hugged Max, asking, "Please, daddy. Please. Can I sleep next to you? Can I stay here with you and Mummy?"
"No Luna, you're sleeping in your own bed tonight, Mummy and Daddy are going to have a long talk tonight. An adult conversation." Max says, while looking at Helen "I need it"
The plan was to have more of Helen, but that would not happen if Luna slept in the same bed with them. Behind the door, Helen was giggling at him. She raised both her hands, suggesting how it was all his decision to make.
"Mummy please" How can she ever deny her daughter? Thus, Helen surrendered to Luna, saying, "Alright, Lu. We will all stay in the main room."
"Yey! Yey!" Lu jumped up and down to Max's dismay. As Helen leads Luna to the bathroom, she walks past Max and whispers in his ear. "Well, I guess I owe you one."
With Luna in the bathroom, Helen turns back to Max, walks slowly backwards, tongue on her upper lip, she opens her satin robe, exposing her bare breasts and a pair of lace panties. The moment she saw Max coming towards her, she quickly closed her robe, blushing and turned away to join Luna, closing the door behind her.
"It's not fair," she hears him whining behind the door.
At night, Luna slept in between her parents, unable to stop talking. "I want to do hand painting with Mummy and Daddy! I want to swim with Mummy and Daddy! " Luna went on and on, even repeating some of the things they had already done. The last thing she requested, however, made Max laugh. The little girl said, "I want to take care of my little sister with Mummy and Daddy!"
She turned from side to side, repeatedly hugging Max and Helen. She kept saying, "I love you, Mummy. I love you, Daddy."
"I love you, Munch," Helen said each time the little expressed those words.
"I love Lu," Max said, whenever Luna would turn to him. For an hour, Luna was restless, circling her little leg around Helen and then turning to her father to do the same. She did it so many times, unable to decide which position to take.
In the end, she grabbed Helen’s arm and wrapped it around her, forcing her mummy to face her back. Whereas, Luna’s legs were around Max’s thigh. They both patted Luna to sleep. When she was completely out, Helen said, "I know we are supposed to teach her independence, but I figured, let's have her experience the things she missed when I wasn't around."
Max nodded. He said, "This is just a phase."
***
The next week end, they spent time with Benett and Lucas. They went to the Parc La Grange, located south of Lake Geneva, with very old and tall trees. It’s a lovely park and a great way to spend time during the summer.
The Goodwin-Sharpe had just settled for a picnic lunch. While Helen set up the table, Luna challenged his father on a chase, going around a tree. When Helen called Luna for lunch, she did not hear her. She walked towards them, calling their attention. "It's time for lunch...Come on, Lu. Max, stop chasing her. "
"I got you!" Max screamed, grabbing Luna by the waist. He lifted her and the little girl laughed uncontrollably.
"Lunch time, guys," Helen repeated. She was a meter away from them when Max lowered Luna to the ground. Suddenly, Luna ran in the direction of the picnic table, throwing Helen spinning on her heels. She bumped into Max, and they both fell to the ground under the tree. Helen wound up on top of Max, her chest against his, her face brushed against his cheek, and his hot breath warmed her skin. When she lifted herself, her hand settled on his chest.
Their eyes met, her face burned and her heart raced. Max’s eyes were gentle on her, and for some reason, she could not look away until Luna cheered them on. "Mummy and Daddy sitting under a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes babies! "
Helen hurriedly peeled off Max while he smiled like a fool. Max thought Helen was so adorable when blushing, his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at his daughter and winked at her. The little girl winked back, giving her father a thumb up.
After the parc, Benett invited them to enjoy the pool at her house. Helen taught Luna how to swim. They played ball in the water and played shark. Helen would carry the little on her shoulder while Max chased after them, pretending to be a shark.
"Mummy, hurry! Daddy's going to catch us!" Luna screamed, and each time Max would catch up, he would tickle his daughter. The sight of which added to everyone's amusement.
They also found time to have a hand painting-session in the afternoon. With a large papers and oil paints from the nearby bookstore, the family of three indulged, coloring the paper with their fingerprints.
After they were done imprinting the paper, Helen suddenly smudged Max’s face. It started a gleeful battle that ended in tickling, smearing their entire clothes, and endless laughter. Luna happily yielded, painting both her parents.
They happily took pictures repeatedly, utterly entertained. Needless to say, Luna had the time of her life. The little girl had so much fun that she dozed off while riding back to home in the evening. When they arrived, Helen carried Luna to her room .
In Lunas' bedroom, Helen watched her daughter sleep. She did not know how long she stayed there, simply admiring her little girl, running her fingers through her blond hair and said, "I wish I were there.." kissed Luna’s forehead, saying, "Goodnight baby.."
She turned to the door and found Max standing there. He immediately wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her lips. He said, "You are such a great mother, my love."
"Thank you," Helen said, kissing him back. "I love being her mum."
"I think she loves you more than me."
"I already know that, she told me". Helen says jokingly
"Ouch," Max says pretending to be hurt. He kisses her.
"Did you already have your period?" Out of nowhere, Max asked. He hoped a little that he could still make love with Helen.
Helen raises a brow at him, laughed and replied, "I did. Just now."
A hiss left his lips, and he swore, "Next week. I’m very unlucky"
Helen did not know why, but the thought of them made her core tingle. She tried to dismiss it by laughing, but her face showed everything as she turned tomato red. Bashfully, she replied "Next week."
