Watching Estelle disappear into the bathroom, Jonathan's previously calm demeanor evaporated. Just like Estelle, a sudden jolt of intense nervousness struck him.
He felt the overwhelming urge to do something—anything—with his hands.
Standing up, he methodically cleared the plates from the table and carried the tray downstairs.
Wilma smiled warmly as she saw him. "How did ma'am like the breakfast today?"
Jonathan nodded. "She said the oats were amazing."
"I ground up some walnuts, pine nuts, and hawthorn berries to mix into her bowl. It perfectly masks the bitter taste of her health supplements. As long as ma'am likes it, I'm happy." Wilma always prepared the most premium, nourishing ingredients, but she was constantly terrified Estelle would hate the taste, so she went out of her way to invent clever ways to sneak them into her meals.
Jonathan smiled warmly. "It worked perfectly. Thank you for taking such good care of her, Wilma."
"It's my absolute pleasure!" Wilma beamed.
Jonathan turned and headed back upstairs. Just as he pushed the bedroom door open, Estelle stepped out of the bathroom. Their eyes met. A brilliant spark danced in Estelle's gaze, and her heart began hammering wildly against her ribs.
Jonathan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, immediately locking onto the pregnancy test gripped in her hand. He took a step forward. "Well?"
Estelle opened her mouth to speak, but the words caught in her throat. The corners of her lips curved upward, the joyous smile reaching all the way to her eyes.
Jonathan forced down the explosive thrill rising in his chest, terrified of getting his hopes up if it was a false alarm. He feigned absolute composure as he reached out for the test. "Did the results come in?"
Estelle handed it over. "I think... I'm pregnant!"
She had used these tests twice before and had reread the instructions thoroughly. There was absolutely no mistaking it.
Jonathan's heart stopped. He immediately looked down at the plastic stick. Two dark, undeniable red lines stared back at him. His head snapped up to look at Estelle, his eyes blazing with an incredible, disbelieving light. Without even realizing it, a massive grin broke across his handsome face. "Ella!"
Just moments ago, they had been rationalizing what life would be like without a baby. He had mentally prepared himself for the possibility of never having one. And now, out of nowhere, it was really happening?
The sheer ecstasy detonated in his chest like fireworks. Unable to contain himself, Jonathan hauled Estelle into his arms, his voice shaking with raw emotion.
"Ella, we're having a baby. You're going to be a mom!"
Estelle clung to his broad shoulders. Initially, she had just felt a sense of relief and happiness that things had worked out. But hearing him say those words out loud—that she was going to be a mom—finally made the breathtaking reality of the situation sink in.
"My Ella is going to be a mother!" Jonathan was practically radiating joy, raining kisses all over her face.
