Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1177

Justin continued knocking on the door. "Rose, may I come in?"

There was still no response, and Steve kept crying.

Feeling uneasy, he opened the door. Inside, he saw Steve crying in the cradle.

Justin immediately picked him up. "It's okay, Steve. I'm here. Don't be afraid."

He heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. The glass door was fogged over, indicating that Rosalie was inside taking a shower. She must not have heard the baby crying.

But the baby was crying so loudly—why hadn't she noticed?

Justin didn't think too much of it. He gently rocked Steve, trying to soothe him.

"Steve, don't cry. Be good. I'm here, okay? Do you need your diaper changed?"

After checking the diaper and finding it dry, he continued, "Steve, are you hungry?"

Justin quickly prepared some formula, but Steve refused to eat. His cries grew louder and more desperate, as though he was struggling to breathe.

Justin set the bottle aside. "Steve, do you want your mommy? Be good. Mommy's in the shower. She'll come hold you as soon as she's done, alright?"

Despite Justin's efforts, Steve wouldn't stop crying. Left with no other choice, he carried Steve to the bathroom door and knocked softly.

"Rose, sorry for intruding, but I heard Steve crying, so I came in. He won't stop crying—I think he wants you. Are you almost done?"

The sound of running water continued, but there was no response.

Justin knocked louder. "Rose, can you hear me?"

A sense of dread began to creep over him. Balling his hand into a fist, he pounded on the door. He wanted to break through the glass. "Rose, what's going on? Say something! Are you okay?"

Justin's expression grew darker. "Rose, if you don't answer, I'm coming in."
