The baby contract novel Chapter 61

" Aren't you going to work today? " She asked curiously as they sat down to eat. 

" Of course I'm going to work " He replied casually. 

She eyed him " So why are you still home this time? It's unusual of you " She pointed out. 

He shrugged " I'm the boss, I can pretty do whatever I want "

" Does that include breaking the rules you made mister? " She gave him a hard stare. 

He looked up sharply " Of course not, " He took a deep breath " I just wanted to make sure you're okay, now that carrying a child and all that " 

Carla sighed " I've told you Liam, I'm fine. You don't have to watch over me like some nanny, I'm okay " 

Liam searched her face " Really? You'll be okay by yourself? "

She smiled at him sweetly " Of course, I won't die before you get back or do anything stupid, you know " 

Liam sighed deeply " Okay then, let's do this "

He stood up and came over to her side " Take care, huh? " He said softly, staring at her so intently that Carla looked away. Why did she look away anyway? It was not like she was guilty of anything, was she? She questioned herself. 

He kissed both of her cheeks " Stay safe, hmn? I need to go get dressed, I'll be with you in ten " 

Carla nodded happily, quite satisfied with herself. Suddenly, she felt a vomit up her throat and stood up immediately, dashing past Liam who had started going upstairs. 

" Carla! " He shouted after her but she was in no position to reply or look back at him. She ran into the toilet and emptied all the food she ate. Then she rested her head on the wall, feeling too weak. 

" Hey! Are you okay? " He asked frantically, looking her over. 

She nodded weakly " Yes, I'm good " 

" Is this throwing up of a thing part of the whole business? " He asked as he helped her back to the bedroom. He laid her gently on the bed. 

" Yup it is, now get me the damn blanket " She said irritably and groaned. 

He quickly pulled it up for her and tucked her in properly. 

" Thank goodness I haven't gone to work yet " He remarked quietly. 

She peered up at him " You can go ahead, I'm perfectly capable of... " 

He nodded and cut her off " Taking care of yourself yeah I know, now get some rest " He placed a light kiss on her forehead and got up. 

" Where are you going? " She asked

" To look up some things that helps when an expecting mother throws up " He replied casually and turned to go. 

Carla blushed " I'm fine really, aren't you going to work? "
