Side Story 3: Paul VS Daryl (1)

Daryl went for the meet-up with Paula, but had to go back soon after she arrived at the cafe due to serious nausea. Paul hurried to take her back home. She just leant on his shoulder all the way, even getting a little dizzy.

Daryl and Paul actually didn't have much time together now.

Paul was always busy with his work and Daryl spent most of her time learning what she was supposed to know as a mother. Even if they had got the chance to kick off a conversation, Daryl would feel sleepy soon and fell asleep in no time. That's a normal syndrome of gestation.

In fact, Daryl had been worried about Paul's attitude towards this kid, when he was thinking about putting it in a paper box and giving it to others! He really detested children so much?

Now Daryl was resting her legs on his.

How many months left there? I just can't wait." complained Paul.

Daryl regarded him with puzzlement.

"I can't wait to eat the food you cook." explained he.

Why not learn to cook yourself? As though that's the sole reason you married me!" Sometimes, Daryl even thought Paul was only taking her as an excellent chef. 'Can't you think about something more serious?"

Something more serious?’ Paul suddenly remembered that, "Oh, I've narrowed down the list of foster parents. Only as a backup method if we really can't be good parents, of course."

After a while, Daryl finally uttered. You really hate children so much? And you agree to keep it only because I want it?"

Casting a look at her, Paul answered slowly, "You are imagining things."

Daryl was just about to protest when she suddenly felt the baby's movement. She stiffened up and cried excitedly, "It’s moving! Listen!"

As excitement immediately took the place of the indifference on Paul's face, he hurried to press his ear onto her belly. Such a drastic change did surprise Daryl a lot.

Yet the movement just stopped as soon as he approached, even when he waited patiently for another couple of minutes.

There was an awkward silence.

Daryl even thought the kid refused to communicate with Paul deliberately because it could already understand what he had said.

Paul straightened up out of embarrassment and moved Daryl's legs onto the sofa slowly before he went out of the room.

What are you doing?" Daryl asked after a pause.

’To contact the foster parents." Paul answered gloomily.

Daryl hurried to stop him. Wisely enough, she didn't ask anything about it although she was actually quite curious about the candidates in his list.

In the end, Paul compromised by replacing the cloth in the box with two pieces of newspaper, instead of contacting the candidates. That was his way of revenge on the kid who had refused to let him detect its movement.
