Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

I reached the hospital and parked my car. I get out and walk as slowly as a snail in my heels. I have to stop wearing them, otherwise, I can fall down. No. I will start wearing walking shoes, which would be good for gripping souls. I reach the cabin and open it to see that the doctor is with someone.

I turn to leave when Theo says, “Daisy, you are finally here. Come in.”

I look at Theo for a full minute and ask, “Why are you wearing this?”

He is wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans, and a black biker jacket. He has put on a cap and mask to hide his hair and face and goggles to hide his eyes. He looks more… hot like a bad boy. I want him.

“I had to take on a disguise. Why? Don’t you like it?” He says as he comes to stand in front of me.

“Like. it. Oh, I will show you how much I like it when we reach home.” I say and he raises his brow and I can tell he is smirking.

“I’ll look forward to it.” He says and leans towards me when we hear a cough and I realise what we are here for.

“Stop distracting. I have to sit down.” I say and stroll towards the chair.

“Have you hurt your leg? That is why you are walking like that?” He says and assists me to sit down.

“No. I’m wearing heels so I have to be cautious and also, do you think this dress is too tight?” I ask.

“Yes, it is tight in all the right places.” He says and I squeeze my thighs together for different reasons.

I shake my head and say, “Then I should start wearing loose one if…”

I look up to see the doctor who is looking at us patiently, then says when she gets my full attention, “So, I don’t have to ask if this man is with you. So, what is the problem?”

“I think I’m pregnant. I want to confirm it.” I say.

“Okay.” She says and takes out a pregnancy kit from the drawer. “Why don’t you test this, then we move forward?”

“No. I mean, I have done this test before and got negative results.” I say.

“Is there any other way?” Theo asks.

“We can have a blood test.” She says.

“How much time will it take?” I ask.

“We will get results by tomorrow morning.” She says.

“No. I can’t wait that long.” I say.

Theo must have noticed the urgency and panic in me, he asks., “Isn’t there any type of test which can give us results today itself?”

“We can do a transabdominal ultrasound. If there is a foetus, it would show on it immediately. But first I need to ask some questions to Ms. Carter while she gets prep if she wants to move forward with this?” She asks.

“Okay.” I say immediately.

“Fine.” Theo says and the doctor nods.

She asks me questions while I have enough water for this ultrasound. I tell her everything, including my previous reports in London. She listened to my every concern and assured me everything would be fine. I just have to stay calm and not take too much stress for now.

As I lay on the stretcher bed and gulped down one more bottle of water, Theo came beside me and asks, “Why are you so on edge, Daisy?”

“I’m not on edge.” I say.

“Really? If that bottle was a person, it would beg you to let him breathe.” He says, and I look down to see the crushed bottle.

He takes the bottle out of my hand and puts it in the trash and comes back to me. He takes my hand, kisses it and waits for me to say something.

“I’m worried, Theo.” I say.

“About what?” He asks softly.

“About everything. I don’t know why, but I feel scared. I feel scared that if they do this and what if it comes out empty? What if there is nothing? I fear your reaction. I fear my reaction. The doctor might say something that scares me. Do you know why I don’t visit the doctor? That’s because I don’t want another one to say the stuff the previous one said. I don’t want one more person to say that I can’t have a baby.” I say, and Theo takes me into his embrace.

“Hey, you would be fine. We will have everything you wished for. Look we got Lovey, then we will have a dog for me, please.” Theo says with a cute face, “Then we will have kids too, one way or another. Do you get it?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Okay.” I say as I nod and he wipes away some of my tears.

“So, don’t be scared about anything right now. I’m here. I will stand right beside you. You are not alone anymore. Remember? So whatever happens, we will face it together. Okay?” He says and I nod, “Good.”

The doctor comes in with one nurse and the person who would do the sonography. I lay down in my hospital gown and felt cool gel on my lower abdomen. She picks up the stick and presses it on the gel cover abdomen. I felt uncomfortable for a few moments and feared that if she pressed too hard, I might pee or something.

“There.” The sonographer says and the doctor blocks our view as she discusses something with her.

“What happened?” Theo asks, and I see he was concerned too and was hiding it from even me.

“Just a minute.” She says and still discusses something, pointing at the screen. I crane my neck to see what they are talking about to each other and not telling us.

“What happened? Is something wrong? Please, at least tell me if there is a baby or not in there?” I ask when I reach my limit of patience.

The doctor nods at what the sonographer says and sighs, then turns to us and says, “Looks like you are pregnant, Ms. Carter. And I think you came at the right time in the hospital. We have to run some tests according to your condition, as it looks like there could be some complications.”

“What complications?” Theo asks.

“Look at the screen. Here and here.” She says, pointing at two kidney-like beans, “These are the babies. You are having twins.”

“Two babies?” Theo and I both speak up in surprise.

“Yes. Twin pregnancy means it would have its complications plus the condition that you mentioned about earlier. I would need those resorts and have to run some tests, too.” The doctor says.

“Right now?” I ask.

“Yes.” She says.

“Can’t I have two minutes more and look at them?” I ask.

“Sure. I’ll be in my cabin. After getting changed, meet me there.” She says and leaves.

“Theo.” I say.

“Daisy.” He says, “Congratulations.”

“You too.” I say, and he gives me a deep kiss.

We look at the babies, and I feel a surge of love for them come into my heart. It is so strong that I am thankful I am lying down otherwise, if I had been on my feet, I would have fallen.

After wiping off the gel, I use the restroom and then change into my clothes. Theo is smiling like he has won some competition, but who am I to complain when I have the same smile? But an even bigger battle is going to come and we have to be prepared for it, too.

The doctor told us about the test, and I followed everything she told me to do. She tells me I should ditch heels after today and writes a few supplements and vitamins for now. We are supposed to be meeting tomorrow afternoon again to discuss my results and give us further instructions on how to proceed. But I have to avoid travelling and sex until logical results have come.

Theo takes my hand and kisses it in the elevator and I say, “You look like a bad boy and I can’t even do anything about it.”

“Well, this bad boy would love to hold his girls in his arms.” Theo says.

“Woah! Don’t jump to the conclusion that we would just have girls. They could be boys too, or both.” I say.

“As long as you all are healthy. That’s all that matters to me. You are the only one that matters to me.” Theo says and kisses me.

“Don’t kiss me like that.” I say with a pout, knowing we can’t do anything about it.

“We should tell others about us, I think.” He says.

“What? But why?” I ask.

“Seriously. You would soon start showing what you would say, then?” He asks.

“I’m not saying we will wait till then. But we can wait till January. I am two months pregnant. We can hide this for two more months.” I say and we get off the elevator in the parking lot.

“We will discuss this when we reach home. You are coming with me.” He says.

“But my car?” I ask.

“We are going in your car and I’ll drive it.” Theo says.

“Okay.” I say.

“And I don’t think I can let you drive alone anymore. Maybe I should hire a driver for you and also a maid for your apartment.” Theo mumbles.

“I don’t need that.” I say.

“We would discuss that too when we reach the penthouse.” He says.

I roll my eyes but still smile as Theo is just getting protective towards me and the babies because he loves us.
