Shane then walked up to her silently and sat down beside her.
Natalie came back to her senses when she felt the sofa sink beside her and turned toward him.
“Oh, you’re home!” she said with a forced smile.
“Yeah.” Shane nodded and lowered his gaze to her tummy.
Natalie tensed up when she noticed where he was looking. “S-So… W-What do you think of this baby?”
Shane looked up at her. “What do I think?”
Natalie rubbed her palms nervously. “As in, do you want to keep the baby?”
Shane frowned upon hearing that, much to her distress.
What is that frown supposed to mean? Does he not want this baby?
Right as she was on the verge of breaking down, Shane eased up on his frown and said softly, “Of course I do.”
He then gave her tummy a rub, making sure to be very gentle for fear of accidentally hurting her and her baby.
Natalie’s eyes went wide as her uneasiness turned to joy.
“Really? You want to keep the baby?” she asked with tears in her eyes.
Shane slowly pulled his hand back. “Why wouldn’t I? This is my child too.”
This baby is my own flesh and blood!
Natalie believed in his words when she saw the serious look in his eyes, and whatever worries she had disappeared completely.
Overjoyed with his decision, she threw herself into his arms. “Thank you, Shane!” This baby’s arrival may have been a little sudden, but I’m glad we both want to keep it!
