Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Damien and Olivia waited patiently for the results of the test carried out. The result was said to be ready in the next thirty minutes.

“Are you sure you aren’t feeling any discomfort?” He asked worriedly.

Olivia’s face fell for the umpteenth time in a row, Damien had been bugging her with that same question over and over again.

“Yes. My ears are about to be blown off by you. I told you already right? I’m fine quit worrying yourself for nothing”

Damien chuckled at her response, he brought his hand to her blonde hair stroking it lovingly.

“I can’t help but worry about you honey”

Olivia flashed him a look of surprise, he just addressed her as ‘Honey’ and surprisingly it sounded right to her ears.

Luckily for Olivia who was gradually burning in red color, the door opened and a doctor stepped into his office while a nurse followed behind him.

He took his seat behind his large brown desk filled with some papers clipped together and his name tag.

“Mr Sterling. I’m deeply sorry for keeping you waiting, an emergency popped up in one of the wards down the hall” The middle aged man apologized shuffling through the pile of papers on his desk..

A small cry of relief left his lips as he spotted what he was searching for.

“Just a moment” He turned to the nurse by his side and handed over to her a notepad where some words were scribbled on.

“Do as I said alright?”

The nurse gave a nod and left the office afterwards leaving the three alone in the medium space.

The doctor sighed deeply and faced the two seated before him.

“Uh just relax the test results are out and it should be here any minute”

A look of impatience clouded Damien’s face, he was already tired of waiting. The more he stared at Olivia’s tired eyes, the more impatient he got to know what was wrong with her exactly.

A brief knock fell on the door before it opened, a nurse’s head popped in first and when she received the doctor’s hand gesture, she walked in.

“The test report for a Miss Olivia Parker” She read through the envelope.

The doctor accepted it and dismissed the nurse. He tore the envelope open and brought out one of the white sheet.

“Well there’s absolutely nothing wrong with her Mr Sterling”

Olivia snapped her head to Damien with a look of ‘i told you so’

“See? I told you that I was fine but you all never paid any attention to me like always –

Damien sighed in relief. At least she was not sick, but that didn’t explain why she threw up a while back at home.

“You have no idea of how relieved I am to hear that”

The doctor smiled at the young couple before him, he picked up the next report on the desk and his smile only grew wider at the content.

“Congratulations Mr Sterling, Miss Parker is two weeks pregnant”

Olivia’s eyes grew large at the doctor’s last words. Pregnant?

She touched her flat tummy still in a state of shock. That explains all the weird cravings she had and the vomits.

And plus her period was missing. She thought it was coming late this month but the actual truth was that she was pregnant with Damien’s baby.

Her little heart raced in excitement at the thought of a part of Damien growing inside of her.

A broad grin smeared on Damien’s face at the news. Another addition to the Sterling’s.

“Really?!” He screeched louder than necessary.

The doctor gave him a nod of confirmation. He then handed the results to Damien to confirm for himself.

And when he did, he wrapped an arm around Olivia’s shoulder pulling her to himself.

“We are having another baby Olivia. I’m so happy right now”

Charles raised his head to the direction his name was called out to.

He flashed a smile at the curvy and pretty lady approaching him. She stopped next to him staring out of the large floor to ceiling window.

“Hi. I thought you wouldn’t make it here today” Becky said in between a chuckle.

She held a small paper bag on her left hand as usual which contained some of her cookies made specially for him.

Charles stretched his hand towards her meaningfully which she didn’t get.

“What? –

“The gift you got for me”

Becky’s lips rounded in realization, she handed the brown paper bag to him laughing at his silly gesture.

“Are they that good that you don’t get tired of eating and asking for more?”

Charles took one of the medium sized cookie munching on it gently.

“They are so tasty and it tastes just like the ones someone always left at my locker back in highschool and college”

Becky bit her inner cheeks suddenly feeling hot, was it the way he stared at her while he ate the cookies? or it was just his normal charm which made her heart flutter whenever she was close to him?

“uh.. did you bother to find out who it was? it could have been a stalker or-

“I don’t need to search for whoever it was” Charles declared taking out another cookie from the paper bag.

He stared at the love shaped cookie which was way different from the first one he took.

Becky’s face fell. She took a deep breath in. She had chosen to give up on him at first but Xander was the one who encouraged her never to give up on the person she loved.

He had used his relationship with Bianca as an example. He also narrated how she broke his nose and butt at some point which was super duper hilarious when he was explaining it.

She had no idea when a dry chuckle escaped from her mouth.

“I already knew who it was all those time”

“Uh?” She asked confusedly. Didn’t he say that it was no use searching for the person.

“When were you going to tell me? I knew it was you the first day you brought this to my cousin’s house when I tasted them”

Charles eyes gazed upon her intently waiting for her response but she was too shocked to speak. If he knew about the cookies made by her then surely he knows about the love letters that she had sent alongside the cookies.

“I- well- give me one minute-

She turned on her heels moving away quickly from him. Her cheeks was burning so hard in embarassment.

How was she going to face him again after this?

He knew all along!

Charles chuckled at her moving back, he brought one of the cookie to his mouth savoring the unique flavor he had always yearned after Becky left the city because of how much she was always taunted because of her weight at that time.

Aldrin rushed out of the bathroom the moment he heard Anita’s screams.

Still covered in bubbles, he had a white towel wrapped around his thin waist and his hair damped sticking to his forehead.

“What happened?!” He demanded worriedly checking for any signs of danger around but he found none.

Anita approached him waving her phone over his face.

“Did you hear that Aldrin?! Olivia is pregnant! She is expecting Damien’s second baby. What more can I possibly want except another grand baby?!”

Aldrin sighed in relief, that was definitely a good news to the Sterling’s.

“He took after me”

Anita’s brows arched “No he doesn’t, he took after me his beloved mother. isn’t it obvious that he loves me more than you? and he is more likely to follow behind my footsteps”

Aldrin placed both hands on his waist “Is that a way to pacify yourself wifey?” He teased crackling up with laughter.

“Sure! laugh all you want. But I think I have to go back to the hospital again to see the MALE doctor all ALONE this time!. I need to check my wound again”

“Anita! that’s not funny okay?!”

“Don’t bother to pick me up. We already made plans over the phone and he had promised to drop me off tonight”

The words ‘plan’ and ‘tonight’ were the only key words revolving around Aldrin’s head.

“Alright fine! you win! Damien loves you more!”

Anita smiled in victory. Her plan worked. “Yeah I know. you didn’t have to tell me again. But since you did, I hope you don’t forget it!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
