Sophia's POV:
"Congratulations, Mrs. Smith you're ten weeks pregnant."
Rian glanced at me with tears forming in her eyes when the doctor shows her little bump on the screen.
"Wow, he's so cute, Belle." She said wiping her tears. The doctor continued to show her the different angles of the baby inside her belly.
"Congratulations, Rian. I'm sure Alex will be glad about it."
"Yeah, actually I'm planning to give him the results as my birthday gift to him tomorrow."
"Really? Well, I think that's the best gift he will ever receive tomorrow."
"Do you think he'll like it?"
I furrowed my eyebrows with her questions.
"Of course, who wouldn't like the gift of being a father? Actually, you don't really have to ask that question because I'm sure he'll love that news."
I said smiling as I hold her hand.
"He's going to be a father and you're both going to be parents."
"Yeah, and you're going to be an Aunt."
My smile vanished when I heard the word 'Aunt'.
"A fake Auntie for a year." I shrugged as I gave her a half-hearted smile.
"Of course, not! You were legally married, Belle so that means you're going to be his or her real Aunt."
I just shook my head and watched how the doctor print the sonogram report.
"Anyway, why are we talking about our marriage, shouldn't we be talking about Alex's birthday celebration tomorrow and about your surprise for him?"
She just rolled her eyes.
"Mrs. Smith, your baby is healthy, just avoid too much stress and you need to have enough rest every day. And I have prescribed vitamins and maternal milk for you and for your baby's healthy development inside your tummy."
The doctor said while giving Rian her prescription and the sonogram result.
"Thank you, Dr. Steve."
"You're welcome, Mrs. Smith. Our next meeting will be next month, but if there are things you don't understand about your pregnancy and you're confused, you can call me anytime." She said smiling and give Rian her calling card.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Steve, I'll remember that."
We parted our ways after Rian's consultation with her OBGyne. She said she's going to visit Alex in his office while I decided to go home to change my clothes, and to get my laptop that I forgot to bring earlier.

I frowned when I noticed the new sports car in the garage as I parked my car.
"Good afternoon, Mam Sophia."
I turned around to see Erwin, Daniel's driver smiling at me.
"Good afternoon, do you know who owns this new car?" I asked him pointing the gray CCXR Trevita.
"Yes Mam, it's your husband's new sports car collection." He replied smiling but it almost caused my eyeballs to pop out of my sockets.
"Wow! He bought a new car again? Huh! Look at what money can do. Tsk.tsk.tsk."
I said shaking my head while swirling the car key on my finger. He didn't say anything, he just gave me a knowing smile.
"You know what, Erwin if I were him, I would rather donate my money to the Government Institutions or Foundations such as Mother of perpetual help and Sacred heart foundation that helps those children who were left by their parents, or those patients who were suffering from cancer, instead of buying a new sports car! For what, just for his new collection?"
I asked him as if he's the one who bought the car.
"Why don't you just tell him all your suggestions, Mam?" He asked suddenly laughing at me.
I rolled my eyes. "As if he would listen to me, duh!"
"Why not, you are his wife I'm sure he will listen to you."
I just chuckled but didn't comment anything on it.
"Anyway, why are you here and where's your boss?"
"He's in his study room, Mam Sophia."
"Hmm." I nodded. "Thanks, Erwin."
Swirling the keys on my fingers, I walked towards the front door and left him standing in the garage. Although I was curious to know why Daniel was here, I would never ask even his driver because I don't want him to think that I'm interested in his life.
When I didn't find anyone in the living room, I went up to my room to take a bath and change my clothes.
.........................................
I was about to go to the kitchen when I heard a loud knock from the front door, so I turned around to open it just to see Alex standing outside looking haggard and disheveled.
"Alex?"
"Is Rian's here?"
