The Daring Billionaire’s Wife novel (Vanessa and Dominic) novel Chapter 116

Vanessa

As soon as I announce that I'm pregnant to Dominic, he poses with the scrunched up documents in his hands, as if it's taking him a moment to process.

Then, he looks in my direction, tilting his head at me.

"What did you just say?" His voice is quiet and filled with surprise.

"I said I'm pregnant." I smile a little.

"What?" he says loudly as he drops the documents, then places his hand on the table as he uses that for support while jumping over it.

He rushes to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. His grip is a bit too strong but even with that, I'm just amused by his reaction.

"You're pregnant?" His face brightens up.

"Yeah." I chuckle.

"But... how?" His eyes widen.

"You know the answer to that."

"Fuck! I mean when did you find out?" He keeps holding onto my shoulders.

"It's actually something I've been thinking about for a while. My period is three weeks late, so I thought I'd go for a checkup and-"

He suddenly cuts me off by placing his lips on mine for a quick kiss. After he pulls away, I'm left flustered but it doesn't seem to be the case for him because right after he pulls away from my lips, he gives me another quick kiss, then wraps his arms around my waist, lifts me and spins me around with joyful laughter.

I hold onto his broad shoulders, my heart filled with joy at his reaction.

"This is the best news ever!" he says, putting me down. "Where's my phone? I need to call my dad right now."

"What happened to looking for that document?" I ask.

"Are you kidding me?" He places his hands on my shoulders again and smiles widely. "Fuck the document!"

Quickly, he slides across the table, taking the phone from his chair so he can dial my father-in-law's number with shaky hands and it's all just from excitement.

He looks over me, then down at my stomach and he doesn't even have to say it, because I know what he's thinking.

Just as he dials the number, I think of something, so I rush over to him and take the phone for him to stop him.

"Why did you do that?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"I know you're excited, so am I, but I just think it's better if we do this in person. Don't you think so?"

He sighs, nodding in agreement. "You're right about that. I guess I just couldn't wait to share this good news."

Even though this news gets him closer to taking over the company, I can tell he's genuinely excited about this and so am I. That's because this is my baby growing inside of me.

"I thought I'd just start with my dad but you know what? Let's get everyone together," he says with excitement. "Until then, we shouldn't tell anyone about this."

"But how are we going to do that when you have to travel?" I ask.

He looks a little disappointed before he even speaks, but his joyful expression soon spreads across his face.

"I'll make sure I'm only gone for two days and as soon as I'm back, we're going to tell everyone."

"How much time do you have before you leave? It seems you've completely given up on the document." I tease him.

"Fuck!" he says, rushing to the table again and checking through his documents.

This time, though he still can't find it, I can tell he's no longer stressed by it. The joy that he's going to be a father seems to have completely taken over him.

Even though I have nothing to do here as I've already made my announcement, I don't feel like leaving just yet. The joy on his face makes me want to stay.

"Here it is." He holds it up. "Now I just need to hurry and get on that flight, but the mess here -"

"It'll be taken care of, so you should just go," I assure him.

He sighs deeply, approaching me. "I'll check on you at all times while I'm away."

"Come on. It's too soon for that." I playfully roll my eyes.

"It doesn't matter." He towers over me with a smile. "I'm still going to check on you and you know what? Now you can hang out with Patrick as much as you want."

"Really?" I chuckle with amusement.
