Nachos & Kisses
An exhausted yet sleeping deeply Namor had a good night’s sleep throughout the rest of the night.
As the sun hung high in the sky, he finally rose from a deep sleep, but he couldn't move a muscle.
His pregnant wife, Shuri was still sleeping sweetly in his arms, even though her swollen belly prevented her from fully snuggling into him. Still, she nestled in his arms as close as possible, one hand gripping his collar and the other cradling her belly.
Namor looked at her, and his heart melted miserably, and couldn't wait to eagerly kiss her on her fuzzy hair, soft eyebrows, round forehead, little nose, chubby cheeks, and rosy lips.
Then he wanted to kiss their babies, but she clung to him tightly, as if afraid he would run away with her goddamn nachos. Namor chuckled softly. Following her gesture, he skillfully removed his shirt and smoothly planted a kiss on her belly.
With gentle strokes, he caressed her belly and checked her hands and feet, making sure her temperature was neither too low nor too high. Then he began to playfully pester her to wake up.
"Good morning- I mean, good afternoon, sweetheart~ Rise and shine, honey, it's already 2:46 pm!!" Namor nudged her gently, waking her up from her sweet dreams. When Shuri grumbled and stirred in the bed, flipping to the other side with difficulty while clutching his shirt to her face, inhaling his scent and ignoring her husband.
Namor shook his head in amusement. And he snuggled up to her from behind, finally snuggling together as he got up and kissed her in his arms.
He tastes caramel popcorn, the overly sweet Oreos, and a tint of egg mayonnaise in her mouth. And Namor couldn't help but giggle incredulously as he smiles on her lips, continuing to wake her up with soft and tender kisses.
Eventually, Shuri started kissing him back as she wrapped her arms around his neck, letting her husband cradle her up to sit on the bed gently. Shuri, while sleepy but starting to wake up, swelled with love for him as Namor nibbles her lips affectionately, smiling smugly as he successfully awoke her.
Shuri stared at him adorably, wondering if their baby boy would have inherited his father's roguish smile when he grew up.
Namor found her just-woke-up-and-hella-confused face incredibly adorable and irresistible. As he kissed her brows preciously. Knowing that their baby girl will look just like her mother in the future, waking up in adorable confusion.
Chaac, Namor doesn't think he can handle the cuteness overload of a mini Shuri. He would burst like a balloon and explode into endless confetti with love bubbles in the air.
He can't wait to raise their children with her. With Shuri.
"...I know it's still early and a few months more to go, but thank you, Shuri, my love… for making me a father…" Namor suddenly got all emotional as he teared up slightly, nuzzling their foreheads together slowly.
Shuri beams at him, her eyes twinkling brighter than the sun and crinkled with happiness, she mutters softly, "You… are… welcome~ I'm a mum now, can you believe it?" She giggles helplessly as she takes his hand to caress her baby bump, in awe of life itself.
"Yes, and our children are so lucky to have you as their mother…" Namor gently sighs with so much love.
As Shuri started to doze off while leaning on his chest, too drunk in love to function for the day.
"Shuri?"
"Hmmm…"
"I got you nachos," Namor smirked triumphantly while looking down at her.
Without missing a beat, Shuri repeated after him, "You got me nachos?"
"I got you nachos," Namor repeated matter-of-factly.
"Then what are you waiting for??? Get me up~!" Namor chuckled and helped her get up from the bed, holding her tightly as he guided her to the bathroom, "Call me if you need me, I'll make lunch and heat up your nachos." Shuri gives him an "Okay~" and Namor leaves the door open.
Namor makes their lunch with ease because he wouldn't say he's an expert now, but rather experienced and skilled in cooking healthy pregnancy meals as he had a whole list of healthy meal plans planned for Shuri, he ensures she eats different meals every day so she doesn't get bored of it.
Cubes of salmon with quinoa, chicken salad and baked potato with cottage cheese are done simultaneously and he heats the nachos in the oven lastly.
Before he heard the sound of her vomiting in the bathroom. Namor rushed back into their room, tying her hair into a ponytail and patting on her back softly, and rushing back to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. Supporting her from the side since she's a lot heavier than she used to be because she's carrying twins.
"Phew, thanks…I think I ate too much last night." Shuri gulped down the water and Namor led her to the kitchen to sit down and have her late lunch.
She took a few bites of each dish, trying her best, but couldn't eat more before feeling nauseous. After vomiting, she lost her appetite, yet didn't want to waste his efforts.
"Why are you just staring at me? Come, eat some too," she said as she looked at him. Namor's eyes slightly reddened and his bare chest rose and fell cautiously. Immediately, Shuri stood up and embraced him, and he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, marveling at how it could bear the weight of two little lives.
"Silly man, I never said the food you made wasn't delicious! I ain't taking the blame this time~" Shuri whispered, kissing his hair, her eyes filled with tenderness. Namor looked up at her, his gaze filled with love and affection, and she lowered her head to kiss his eyebrows and eyes, full of infinite adoration. Then, with a beep, her nachos were ready.
"I want my nachos." She nudged him playfully. He smiled helplessly, "Be right back, woman."
Shuri eagerly reached for her nachos as her overwhelming craving for nachos last night reignited like wildfire. She forgot about her nausea and all she wants now is nachos!
Namor swats her hand away softly. "Ow!!" Shuri pouted at him as if he wronged her for a thousand things.
"Be careful, it's hot, you are going to burn your mouth…" Namor picked a piece of nachos, bouncing it between his palms because it was too hot so he carefully blew on it until it wasn't as scalding. Then, he took a bite himself to ensure it was suitable for Shuri before offering it to his wife's mouth. "Ah~" he's practicing feeding their babies for later. She gladly eats it.
While she chuckled and laughed out loud, obediently eating her nachos after Namor clicked his tongue. Shuri swayed her feet and raised both hands in satisfaction. "Delicious!" she exclaimed happily.
Namor handed her another piece, and she opened her mouth to take it, but he quickly pulled his hand back and ate the nachos himself, looking at her with a mischievous grin. "How dare you eat my nachos!" Shuri squirmed like a spoiled child.
"My dear wife, I went to seven different places in the middle of the night just to find these nachos, and you won't even let me have one??" Namor playfully protested.
"No." Shuri rejected cruelly. Her eyes shone mischievously.
"Alright then, I'll eat it like this," he said, putting a piece into her mouth and swiftly biting it away before she could munch.
"See? You fed it to me," Namor cunningly declared. Before she could throw a tantrum, he seized the opportunity to steal several cheesy kisses from her, and Shuri graciously forgave him.
They continued this playful exchange as they settled on the couch, watching a youtube video about baby supplies while eating. Shuri muttered when she feels the babies kicking and flipping inside of her, "Your babies seem to loveeeee nachos, I can sense it already…"
"Are you sure it's the babies and not you?" he teased.
"How about we give the babies the nicknames 'Nacho' and 'Nacha'?" Shuri suddenly came up with the idea.
"Oh my, how clever you are!" Namor teased hard. "They say pregnancy makes one dumb for three years, but you seem quite sharp."
"Enough teasing, you Nacho-Man!" Shuri playfully retorted.
"Alright, Nacho-Mama~ now eat your nachos before I eat all of them—"
They stayed snuggled together on the couch, feeding each other nachos, and enjoying yet another blissful cuddling day together.
