Falling Fast Again

POV
I sniffed and pushed Pierce away when I saw the saleslady walking back. She's carrying white and pink colored dress of the same style and design. "Here, ma'am. This color will suit your skin perfectly."
I accepted the dress and nodded before I walked towards the fitting room. I wiped my cheeks and took a deep breath while calming myself down.
When I got out of the fitting room, Pierce was sitting on the couch while looking around. When he lifted his face, our eyes met. He walked towards me and looked at the dress in my hand.
"Do you
you still want to roam around the shop?"
I shook my head. He nodded and grabbed the dress from me. He handed it to the saleslady together with some other dresses I think he chose and paid for it. While I was waiting for him, I looked at my own reflection in the mirror. My lips and cheeks were pinkish. I'm stressed and feel so lifeless because of everything that happened, but I still look glowing because of pregnancy.
"Your wife is so pretty. You look good together, Sir,"
The saleslady's voice interrupted my thoughts. I saw Pierce smiling at her before he looked at me.
"Let's go? Let's eat first then we'll buy you vitamins."
Pierce carried the paper bags and led the way while I silently followed him. He stopped in front of a restaurant and looked at me.
"Are you okay to dine here?"
"Yeah," I quickly answered and smiled.
The restaurant has a relaxing ambience and it's comfortable. The server accompanied us to a table for two and handed the menu card to us.
We ordered and it was delivered shortly. We started eating in silence when I noticed Pierce had been glancing at me secretly. I caught him once and let it slide but he glanced again.
"What is it?" I asked, not feeling uncomfortable but curious of what's in his mind.
"Nothing." He shook his head.
I stared into his eyes. "I have so many questions for you, Pierce. So if you don't wanna tell me what's your reason for doing this and that, don't look at me like that and stop what you're thinking if it concerns me."
He looked away and drank his water. I saw his jaws clenched as if he's restraining himself from saying something.
We got home at exactly 3 PM. I went straight to my room while Pierce followed me carrying the things he bought for me. I'm gonna pay him for this soon once I get a job. Speaking of jobs, I want to work. I need to save for the future of my baby and for my delivery. I don't wanna rely on Pierce's and my father's money.
Pierce put the paper bags on the bed before he looked at me. "What do you want for dinner?"
We're civil with each other and I'm glad he's not saying something about us again. I can still remember, how he begged me to give him another chance. How he professed his feelings without doubt and how he fiercely told me he'd take me back if Klay hurts me. Days, weeks and months passed like a whirlwind. I lost track of time while taking care of myself and keeping rage in my heart to intensify and become my strength to go back and avenge my dad. Pierce never left my side during those times but I made sure created a distance between us. He's always caring, he's always looking after me and my baby seemed to like it very much that she kicks her father is near us.
every time
Last week, I was able to know the gender of my baby. As usual, Pierce was with me that time. I can still remember how he gripped the bed when the doctor did the test and Pierce was beside me.
It was one sunny day when I decided to have an ultrasound and confirm the gender of my baby. Pierce drove to the hospital carefully and accompanied me to the doctor.
"Do you wanna come inside?" I asked him when I saw the curiosity in his eyes while looking at the ultrasound monitor from the outside of the room.
He swallowed hard and looked down at me. I'm sitting on the wheelchair and he's the one pushing it for
1. me.
"May 12" He seemed hesitant.
For months, he proved to me that I can still trust him in spite of everything that happened between us. I purposely avoided him but he didn't confront me about it. He turned blind eye to my tantrums whenever I felt down and whenever I pushed him away. "Yes," I answered honestly. As the father of my baby, he has the right to come and witness the test even when he doesn't have any idea that he's the father of the child inside me.
He was so excited while standing beside me as the doctor did the test. I saw how his lips parted when the doctor pointed at the monitor telling us it's the baby.
My heart raced as soon as I saw my baby's picture for the first time. A girl. She will be a very beautiful girl,Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
soon.
I heard a sob and when I looked at Pierce, I saw him wiping his eyes secretly. I don't know if it's because of his instinct that he cried but I can see that he's genuinely happy after seeing the baby.
I was just staring at his face and strangely, I felt my heart start racing again.
"It's normal for couples to be emotional when they first see their baby, but your husband is on another level." The doctor commented after Pierce excused himself.
I saw his eyes before he left. I saw pain, guilt, regret and sadness in his eyes. He's regretful because he thought he's not the father of my baby. And from that day, I saw how he changed. He started caring more. It feels like the baby made his bottled feelings explode and he couldn't stop himself anymore,
Should I tell him? I don't know. He's committed to another woman, and I want to prioritize my baby and my father's stolen life and wealth. Maybe soon, I can tell him the truth about the baby.
""Here, drink this."
I was sitting on the couch when Pierce appeared beside me carrying a mug of hot chocolate. I accepted it without hesitation and he sat beside me, putting a blanket on my legs.
We're in the living area, watching a movie. Christmas is coming in three days and the weather is cold but because of him, I feel so warm and comforted.
"Aren't you going home for Christmas?" I asked curiously while his eyes were on the television.
"This is my home, Kels."
His home. His suppressed feelings are breaking free and he's yet to realize that I can notice it now.
FalmyrFast Again
I didn't say anything again, I wanna ask what happened to Lexl. I remember I caught him having an argument with someone on the phone the other day. I have a huge hunch that it was Lexi but he's not saying anything about it. "You're going to deliver soon. I don't wanna leave your side."
I nodded. I'm just making myself believe that I need him for my delivery day but I know in my heart that I'm starting to fall for him again, I don't know when it started. All I know is while he's busy taking care of me, I'm falling for the same man I loved dearly. Falling fast helplessly.
"It may sound unbelievable and absurd but I want to see the baby before the world sees her. That would
