Carla glared at him playfully " Yeah, I said I went to the hospital "
Liam nodded " I heard that, all I want to know is what the doctor said you're battling with, cold? Fever? Flu? Heck I want to know everything " He got serious now.
" Calm down " Carla cautioned lightly.
" That's what I'm doing, isn't it? " Liam spoke up.
" Just shut up or I'll chop off your dick and feed it to the fishes " She shouted.
Liam laughed " Now I'm scared, would like to see you try that but it's only one I've got "
Carla rolled her eyes " So I went to the hospital to see a doctor and after I told her everything, she said she'd have to run a couple of tests on me... "
Again, Liam interrupted " You were made to do tests?! That sounds pretty bad and yucky "
Carla scoffed " Yucky is not the word dummy "
This time, it was Liam who rolled his eyes " Whatever "
" So...? " He prompted.
" So I did the tests of course " She made it seem like his question was stupid.
" Of course you did the tests, so what were the results? Some flu you caught when we went to Houston? " He asked casually but what came out of Carla's lips next shocked him to the core.
" The results shows I'm pregnant " She blurted out and watched Liam go still. She brought out the results and handed them to him. He collected both silently and went through everything thoroughly.
When he was done, he looked up " You're carrying my child?? " He whispered hoarsely, his voice thick with emotion.
She nodded " So I was told " and she shrugged.
He moved back slowly and looked at her flat tummy " A sweet, little, living soul we made together is in there? " He gulped and stared at her tummy like he wanted to see for himself.
Carla slapped his arm playfully " Stop silly! You don't expect him or her to pop out any moment, do you? "
That finally brought him out of his trance " Oh! Uh... Bella... " He coughed slightly " My baby is in you? " He whispered.
She nodded and her gaze on him was tender " Yeah, the baby we made together " She said softly.
" Oh baby " He croaked out and engulfed her in a warm hug. Carla let him hug her without a word, it was his moment to reminisce the change that was about to take place in their lives. This was the one thing that brought them together, it was what they lived for since the day one. He sniffed and Carla wondered if he was crying.
" Hey, are you crying? " She asked teasingly.
But when he drew back from the hug, there was no traces of tears and he rolled his eyes in a way Carla found cute.
" I was not crying, duh " He replied and placed kisses on her hands.
" Really? " Carla teased him some more and laughed.
Liam glared at her playfully for a minute until the look was replaced with a tender one that made Carla feel special.
" I can't express how happy I am Bella, how happy you made me with this news " He said softly.
