Aurora retrieved all the checklists herself while he's gone. She heaved a sigh of relief after she left the brain tests and others behind and had the test sheet to confirm her pregnancy tucked away. Then she went to check on Bailey. Fortunately, it was a mild concussion, and no other discomfort than dizziness.
Seeing Aurora's here, Ariana pushed her gently outside. "Look at yourself, just go back to your room and rest! He doesn't need much care. I can do it alone."
Aurora gave in. "All right, I'll go."
She was back in her room, feeling a little idle, when her cell phone rang. She thought it was Sion, but it turned out to be... Nevaeh! Why would she call at this time? Is this about Sion again?
Aurora hesitated a little. The instant she picked it up, she was called her full name at the other end of the line. "Aurora Robertson."
The cold and haughty tone of Nevaeh came on the line bring a nasty feeling to Aurora who thus frowned more deeply.
"What?"
"Nothing important." Nevaeh snorted with laughter. "Here's this good news I think you should know."
Aurora held her phone and did not say a thing.
"Don't you wanna know what it is?" Nevaeh said with interested face, "Sion just left. He was overjoyed to hear that."
Aurora kept in silence. What's it got to do with her if he's happy? Even though there was no good news, he would be glad just to see Nevaeh.
She took a deep breath. "Why don't you cut to the chaste?"
"Fine, I'll listened to you." Nevaeh paused deliberately. "I'm pregnant," she said word by word.
Aurora's heart jumped when the words thudded into her ears. She didn't even notice the phone slipped out of her hand.
Nevaeh's pregnant? When? She was breathing faster and kept repeating in her head what Nevaeh had just said. A choking pain in her heart kept her in a complete daze. And Sion… he's overjoyed? Yeah, of course he was. He had a baby with the woman he loved. He loved her so much, certainly he would love their baby as well. But… She touched her belly with a trembling hand, but there was a little life here too...
At some point Nevaeh hung up.
Coming back to her senses, Aurora rubbed her red eyes, and said to herself comforting the baby, "It's okay... Mama will give you all my love, including Daddy's."
