The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 22

Ethan’s P.O.V

I awoke with the sun shining brightly onto my heavy-lidded eyes. I resented mornings ever since I was a youngster but today was different and that reason was River. Of course I was also excited to know the gender of our baby and hopefully today we were going to find out.

I walked into the bathroom took a quick shower and in a matter of minutes, I was out looking fresh like a baby’s bum so I decided to call River hoping she did not forget or even worse was still sleeping.It rung a few times and a finally heard a hello but it wasn’t then I’m excited to hear from you hello it was the beaten down and tired hello.

“Good Morning angel did I wake you,“I ask, grabbing my wallet off of my dresser.

“Oh, good morning and no you didn’t.” She says yawning and I roll my eyes in disbelief.

“Did you forget?”

“Forget what?”

“You literally forgot what today is?”

I never thought I would get to this point in my life where I remember all the important things but It was worth it because she made me feel like the happiest man on this earth.

“We have a doctors appointment today babe and that-” she quickly cuts me off and I simply just smirk.

“Oh, crap I’m really sorry Ethan.”

“Its alright I understand you have a lot on your plate.”

“No you are too sweet I should never have forgotten something like this .“She trails off and I hear some shuffling in the background. “The appointment is at ten right.”

“Yup so that means you have less than thirty minutes to look ten times hotter than you already do,” I say, chuckling and she laughs sarcastically.

“How can I look hot when I look like a hippo.“She asked, tauntingly and I frown because she did not look like a hippo. She was overexaggerating.

“No you look beautiful and you are not fat. Now get ready.”

After I finished I arrived at Rivers in under fifteen minutes and soon enough she exited the door. It was like she was watching for me which made me smile uncontrollably. I got out of the car to open the door for her.

“Good morning beautiful,” I chirped as her face beamed with happiness.

“Thank you, love.“She says giving me a peck on the cheek which made me keep a smile plastered on my face throughout the whole entire ride to the entrance of the hospital and there we intertwined our hands together.

Once we got to the paternity floor we sat in the waiting room and in a matter of minutes the nurse led us to the room for an ultrasound.Soon enough the doctor entered but to my surprise, it was Kenan which made me get uncomfortable in a way. I did not expect my nephew to be Rivers doctor.

“Good morning Ms.Campbell Dr.Blanchard could not be here today because her daughter is sick so I will be filling in for her today.“Kenan says as his eyes darted my way and my jaw clenched,“Morning uncle.”

“Morning Kenan.”

“It says here you are twenty weeks along am I correct,” he says looking River and she nods.

“Alright River can you climb on to the bench and pull up your shirt high enough to reveal your baby bump,” Kenan commanded, turning on the machine and then rubbing a green jelly-like substance on Rivers stomach as he took a scope and began to move it around on her stomach.
