After the nurse left, Officer Chad sat next to his wife, clutching the medical report with hands that trembled slightly. Molly noticed folks passing by, sneaking glances at her and the man in the police uniform beside her. She felt too timid to speak, and Chad's icy demeanor wasn't helping either.
The two of them looked more like a cop escorting a criminal for a hospital check-up than a married couple. Yet, appearance-wise, they seemed like a perfect match. Molly, trying to be discreet, tiptoed and propped herself up, attempting to quietly slide over to another chair.
Chad glanced at the report again and, without turning his head, barked, “Sit back down!”
Caught in the act, Jade froze.
“Three.”
“Two.”
Jade quickly returned to her original seat and said, “Chad, why so serious? The more serious you look, the more people think I’m a criminal and you’re the cop.”
Officer Chad, in his peculiar logic, replied, “If you lean on my shoulder, everyone will just assume we're a couple. Who would misunderstand then?”
Molly: “…”
Why does Chad make even leaning on his shoulder sound so stern?
“Chad, are you upset?”
Officer Chad asked with a cold expression, “Do I look upset to you?”
Molly felt even more intimidated to admit anything with his tone and expression. Chad was buzzing with excitement inside, but while some people cry with joy, others, like Chad, tense up with nervousness.
He was cautious, not wanting to get too hopeful about the “possible” pregnancy the nurse mentioned. The final test results were still pending, so he had to keep his cool. The more excited he got, the more serious he appeared, making Molly think he was upset about the recent fender bender.
She didn’t dare lean on him, but Chad reached over, gently pressing Molly’s head against his shoulder.
Molly stayed still.
Meanwhile, Mia wasn’t checking her phone for her friend’s results, thinking, “A little push won't hurt.”
Henry was still half asleep, and Andre pointed at his son, saying, “Wake Henry up. If yelling doesn’t work, shake him; if shaking doesn’t work, tickle him! Otherwise, he’ll be wide-eyed like an owl tonight, and nobody will sleep.”
Mia, holding her sweet-smelling son, gave him a light kiss, thinking, “Such a little angel.”
“I can’t bear to wake him.”
Andre came over, flicked his son's tiny foot, causing Henry to twitch and pout, roll over, and keep sleeping, thinking the pat was meant to lull him back to sleep.
He dreamt about finding his playmate. As he searched, a smile spread across Henry’s face. Mia, lying in her husband’s rest area, nudged him lightly, “Honey, look, our son’s smiling in his sleep. What could be making him so happy?”
At the same moment.
“Three weeks pregnant.”
Molly: “…” Well, this is something!
Officer Chad collapsed into his chair, like he’d just been through a nerve-wracking final match. His heart had been on edge, fearing the outcome wouldn’t be what he hoped for. But when the doctor confirmed the pregnancy, the news he’d been longing for came true.
His tension melted away. Leaning back, he rubbed his face, looking at the girl standing there, stunned. Watching her grow up, being by her side as she blossomed into a charming young woman, eventually planning for her to become his wife, and now... the girl from those years was carrying his child.
