Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 286

Epilogue - Bailey…

4 months later

I sat on the edge of our bed, nerves rushing through every part of my body, while Asher paced the floor in front of me before he looked down at me. In the whole time since we had officially become a couple, this was the first time I had felt so worried. I did not know how he would react when I told him the news, but now he was as nervous as I was.

“Are you sure you did the test right?” he asked, his voice wobbling a little.

“Can you do them wrong? You pee on it and wait, right?” I attempted to joke, but I genuinely didn’t think I had done it wrong. I just hated the wait…

I had not felt right for a couple of weeks now, and had put it down to a virus going around school. It had not taken me long to go back to work after leaving the hospital after all the drama of the incident with Miles. And soon Asher and I had fallen into the routine of a couple, and I loved it. It was like we had always been together.

His late night working sessions were a thing of the past; he rushed out of work each day to come home to me, or would often come to meet me as I finished work, which always brightened my day. Fresh flowers would often await me, and chocolate was always stocked up too, which made me smile. Asher was far from the dark and moody guy I had first met and was always smiling now, and showering me with love and compliments, as well as the fun banter we had going on which always had me smiling, and amused Akira greatly.

But this feeling of constantly being tired, and persistent sickness had made me begin to feel a little suspicious, especially as it never seemed to ease. It had led me to buy a pregnancy test, which, admittedly, had sat in the bag on the shelf in the bathroom for a little while until I had found the courage to do it. Terrified about what Asher might do if I was pregnant, as we had never actually planned for a baby just yet.
