Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 245

“Sure…” Edward replied as he bent down to kiss me on the cheek.

“Edward…I love you,” I said, meaning every word.

“Go get your pregnancy test. If it’s positive, I’ll take you to see the doctor,” Edward replied smoothly.

He didn’t seem so concerned or excited at all. It was like he was sure that the result would turn out positive. I wished that I could have surprised him but that didn’t seem possible anymore. I also wished that he would look a little more excited that I could be pregnant. Like, seriously, it’s finally happening so I wished he would react even if it’s just a little more…

I peed on a pregnancy stick once again. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve peed on these things. Thinking back, I was very excited and anxious when I first purchased and used this thing for the first time. That was my first time, but I got a positive result right away.

I held the stick in my hand as I returned to the bed and sat on it while waiting for the result. Edward scooted over so that he could rest his head on my lap. We waited together for those long ten minutes or so for the result. I prayed so hard. There wasn’t anything else that I could do so I just closed my eyes and prayed…prayed…and prayed harder!

“It’s positive,” Edward announced nonchalantly.

My eyes snapped opened before I stared down at the pregnancy stick that I held in my hand. Edward was right. There were two marks on the stick…which means that I’m pregnant. Finally!

“I’m pregnant! Edward! I’m pregnant…finally…I’m pregnant!” I screamed excitedly as I hugged him tightly.

“Stop squealing and don’t move about too much or you’ll lose the baby. Get dressed, I’m taking you to the hospital,” Edward said as he swiftly got off the bed.

“Ok…” I mumbled as I slowly got up.

Edward took me to the hospital, and we met up with the same doctor who helped take care of my case during my first pregnancy. We got proper confirmation after the test that I was indeed pregnant with Edward’s child. Edward didn’t seem too excited about it; on the other hand, I was bursting with so much joy. I couldn’t stop giggling at my own long-awaited success and it made me think that the baby would be a very joyful one.

“I wanted to surprise you with my pregnancy. This little dream of mine clearly didn’t get to materialize…” I complained a little on our way back from the hospital.

“I’m surprised enough, don’t worry,” Edward replied, his eyes on the road.

“Can’t you just pretend that you didn’t know anything and just go along with it for once?” I muttered, as I pouted.

“Now that’s just being unreasonable,” Edward said as he grinned at me.

“…I don’t know. You just don’t seem excited…” I said, clearly disappointed.

“To be honest, I’m so excited and overjoyed that I’m not sure how I should act. Congratulations, Natalia…” Edward said a little shyly before turning to smile sweetly at me.

“You mean, congratulations to us, don’t you?” I corrected him.

“I can’t wait to welcome more of our children to this world,” Edward said happily. I felt so proud that I could make him so happy.

“You sure love being a dad, don’t you?” I asked, teasingly.

“Of course, I do…” Edward replied without any hesitation.

I was finally pregnant. Our little family of three was about to expand to a family of four…or so I had thought.

…

A few weeks later, I had an appointment for my first ultrasound and check-up. Edward readily cleared his schedule to be with me on that day. It felt like a repeat of when I was first pregnant with our son which was overall a heavenly experience. Not saying that it was an easy experience to be pregnant and then deliver a child.
