Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 221

-Beckett

I don’t know how to explain what I was feeling. There was an army of ants under my skin, invading all parts of one to feel something, ever the parts that I didn’t know existed.

My heart was slowly gaining pulse and blood rushed through my head, then sweat formed on my skin and my feet came colder inside my shoes.

Andi’s eyes were as big as saucers, and her tears were already on the brink of falling.

“Say something?” she lifted her shoulder in a shrug then tilted her head, pretty blue yes begging me to respond.

The longer I stare at her eyes, the more I see a little girl with her brunette hair and blue eyes. Then she would be running around the estate garden with her little brother with my hair and my eyes.

I should say something, I know that, but the more I think of how our kids would look, the more my throat becomes tight. “Beckett?” she cooed, her lips already trembling so I snapped out of it and cleared my throat.

“Andi,” I started and she was already shaking her head.

“I know it’s sudden. It’s my fault because I forgot to take my pills after the kidnapping. If you don’t want anything to do with this-” she fired without pause.

She stopped when I shot to my feet and stared down at her. She closed her palms, sinking back into her seat with fallen shoulders. Then she lowered her hand into her side, hiding the pregnancy test on her purse.

“What are you saying?” I murmured, clenching my fist. “How can you think of me that way?”

She blinked those teary eyes at me, lips parting. She looked side to side, because people were already staring at us. I can already feel the lens of their camera invading our privacy here, but I was hurt by what Andi just said. I know she must have been confused and scared, so I decided to take all her inhibitions away.

“Stand up,” I told her.

She slowly followed suit, and as soon as she was on her feet, I gripped her elbows and pulled her towards me. She landed with a soft thump on my chest, then I cupped her face with one hand, the other wrapping around her waist.

“Don’t ever think of me that way,” I warned her. “That’s our baby, and I would never allow a day that I am not present in h life.”

She gasped, as though those words took her by surprise. Does she really think I would let her go after knowing she was carrying my child? Is she out of her mind?

Sure, this wasn’t what I had planned for my future. Andi wasn’t even part of those plans before, but she came into my life like a tsunami and wrecked all my beliefs. And after doing that, she helped rebuild a better version of me.

This version of me is ready to be a husband and a father to our children.

“Really?” I can feel her relief spiraling through where I was holding her. I don’t know what crazy thoughts she might have had while waiting for me, but I can imagine that my words already eased that worry.

“Really,” I pushed the mischievous tendrils of her hair out of her face and stared lovingly down at her.

I know everyone here had already forgotten about the game and their food. They were already watching this scene unfo before them, so why don’t I give them what they want? A story, and in a way, they would also help me convince Andi tha

am here for the long run.

1 set an arm around her shoulder and faced the people watching us. I was right. There were already cameras pointed at us } don’t know how many of those cameras are live on social media right now.

“Everyone, good evening. My name is Beckett Hale, and I am a pitcher for the Brighton Reapers,” I started and made suze i was looking at every camera as possible. “Tonight, I have three announcements to make. I should be doing this at the media conference, but something happened.” I looked down at Andi. “Something good happened.”

Everyone was giving us their undivided attention now, and I had to make sure Andi was still comfortable with what I was doing.

“So today… is gonna be my last day playing this season,” I started, and there was a unified gasp and shock in the audience that we have here. “I need to go to therapy, and the details will be given by our manager later. But I hope to be back next year

Some nodded at my announcement. At that moment, I stared down at Andi to ask for her permission.

“Is it okay if I do this, Andi?” I asked.
