Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1868

“I just found out too.”

Aurora teased him on purpose. “See? Now you’re finding out together with me.

“To be honest, this is my first time being a mother as well, and I don’t really know how all this works. I didn’t know I was supposed to inform the baby’s father in advance.”

Her words pulled Lucas back to himself.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and drew her into his embrace.

“So, the two of us are about to welcome a new life?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Hearing Aurora say it so matter-of-factly finally snapped Lucas fully awake.

Only then did it truly sink in—he was really going to be a father.

Lucas reached out, cautiously resting his hand against Aurora’s abdomen.

The moment his palm touched her, he felt there really was a tiny life growing there.

For an instant, the feeling struck him as profoundly miraculous.

Aurora watched him with wide eyes.

“Well? Do you feel anything?”

The moment she asked, she realized how odd the question sounded.

After all, the baby was still so small—barely over a month, according to the doctor.

There was no way anyone could actually feel anything.

Even she thought the question was a bit ridiculous.

What she didn’t expect was for Lucas to answer with complete seriousness.

“I do.”

She looked up at him in disbelief.

“You really feel it?”

“Yes. This is our child. Of course I can feel it.”

Lucas spoke earnestly. “There’s a new life growing here. I honestly think it’s incredible.”
