The doctor looked at Ashley and said with a smile, "Congratulations! You are two months pregnant. You have a stomachache because you have been exercising a lot recently."
The doctor then reminded her, "Don't forget that in the first trimester of pregnancy, the baby in your belly is not in a stable condition. You should not do intense exercises."
'Thank God, my baby was not hurt, '
Ashley thought to herself after hearing what the doctor said. Feeling scared, she wanted to forget everything that happened last night.
She felt relieved that the baby was safe and sound.
"Andy, we have a new baby,"
Ashley said as she looked at Andrew beside her.
Joy and happiness were written all over her face.
She patted her belly gently, her eyes were full of anticipation.
Meanwhile, Andrew looked much calmer. There was, however a slight frown on his face.
They already had Richard and Fabio. He didn't want any more children, so he always used contraceptives every time they made love. Why did Ashley get pregnant? The two boys were already pestering Ashley a lot every day.
Now there would be an additional baby soon.
Oh, no. Not only three but four. Dany was also their daughter. If they brought her back home, Ashley would be surrounded by four children. It might sound selfish, but Andrew couldn't help thinking about his private time with Ashley. If the children took up too much of her time, she wouldn't have enough time left for him anymore. With this thought, Andrew felt a little upset.
He looked at Ashley's belly coldly.
But Ashley was too happy to notice Andrew's indifference towards her pregnancy.
The smile on her face didn't disappear. Her pregnancy was such a big surprise because she knew that Andrew had always used contraceptives. She was so excited to have another baby in their house soon.
Ashley's face suddenly flushed when she recalled what happened in Andrew's office one day. He must have forgotten to use contraceptives. No wonder she got pregnant.
After checking on Ashley and giving some reminders, the doctor left. Now, there were only Ashley and Andrew in the ward.
It was only then that Ashley noticed Andrew's gloomy expression. She couldn't help worrying, so she gently pulled his sleeve and asked, "Andy, what's wrong?"
Andrew didn't reply. He just stared at her belly coldly.
Looking at his cold face, Ashley was concerned.
She knew that Andrew didn't like Richard and Fabio that much, so she couldn't help thinking that he might also not like the baby in her belly.
"Andy, whatever it is that you're thinking against my baby right now, stop it. You can't do anything to my baby. It is mine, and I will definitely give birth to it. Don't even think of taking it away," Ashley warned Andrew as she covered her belly warily with her hand.
This time, she looked at him angrily.
"If you have another baby, you will not have time for me anymore. You will ignore me already," Andrew admitted as he lowered his head dejectedly.
Also, his voice sounded a little aggrieved, which made Ashley confused.
All of a sudden, Andrew squatted beside her bed and buried his head in the quilt.
Ashley could only see his silky black hair now. It looked so soft that she wanted to caress it.
