Chapter 43 - Heartbeat

"Hey don't cry. Don't be afraid." He said while hugging me tight.

"I-I'm happy. Jayden I'm so happy!" I answered.

He tilted my chin up and kissed me.

"Me too! I'm going to be a dad! I'm happy!" He said.

I could sense his happiness from his voice. He suddenly walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I will tell dad and our friends!" He said excitedly.

He rushed outside and went to the rooms beside ours. I was standing just outside our door, smiling. He was knocking on their doors loudly. They opened the door and I could see some irritation and confusion from their faces. Luke and Alora's room was on a different part of the house but he ran there to call them.

"What the hell is going on Jayden?" Luke frowned, while holding Alora's hand.

"You do realize, you're disturbing us." Percy said while hugging Sophie from behind.

"I just want to tell you guys that we have a good news!" He said with a wide smile on his face.

Alora looked at me and I knew she already get what Jayden's about to say. She was smiling at me.

"We're going to have a baby! I'm going to be a father!" He shouted proudly.

At first they were shocked but then I saw smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations! Wow that was good news!" Luke said.

They walked towards us and congratulated us. They were happy for us. No judgement, just pure happiness.

"I thought Luke and Alora will have a baby first. You need to work on it more Luke." Andrew teased Luke.

"Asshole!" Luke answered and we laughed at it.

"Are you going to see a doctor tomorrow? You have to. To make sure how old is the baby." Emily said while rubbing her hand in my tummy.

"We will." Jayden said.

"I told you I can walk." I giggled but I really like the way he takes care of me.

"I want to do this. I'll take care of you. Come one let's rest and we'll go to a doctor first thing tomorrow. I'll also talk to dad tomorrow morning." He said.

We laid down on the bed while I got myself closer to Jayden. I feel safe when I'm with him. I was brushing my fingers to his chest when he took a deep breath.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I want to make love to you but I'm afraid I might hurt the baby." He said, blushing.

"You're so cute." I chuckled.

"You're annoying!" He said.

I teased him more by caressing him from the chest, down to his stomach. I could hear his breathing irregularly. I couldn't take it anymore so climb on top of him.

"Hey I told you I might hurt the baby. You should rest." He said.

"No you won't. I want to feel you inside me." I said.

He grabbed me on the waist and turned, he was now on top of me.

"Okay. I'll be gentle, my love." He said as leaned closer to kiss me.

I think I realized why Jayden has been very gentle with me the past few days. He knew I already missed my period and it's possible that I am pregnant. He was actually doing it for my sake. I fell in love with him all over again.

The next day, we went directly to the doctor. Jayden's father was also very excited so he insisted he'll come with us. I called Kyle to tell him the news, he was happy but he warned Jayden again about making me cry. He became an overprotective brother in just a short time. I also informed grandfather and he said he will visit us soon.

The doctor said my pregnancy is fine and I'm on a perfect shape. She said it's normal to have morning sickness, lightheadedness and dizziness. So we shouldn't worry about it. The baby was already on its 5th week and she let us hear its heartbeat.

We were so happy when we heard it, Jayden almost cried but his father was crying. I didn't realize they were both a crybaby. It's amazing to know that there's a little angel inside me.

The doctor said we would know the gender once the baby is on its 5th to 6th month. I really wouldn't mind if it's a boy or a girl as long as the baby is healthy.

She gave me some vitamins and meal plans to make sure I'll be healthy for the rest of the pregnancy. She said I'm young so it might be hard for me carry a baby like the older woman but she will do her best to help me out. I was really glad to hear it.

We noticed that she sometimes glanced at Jayden's father. Well, he was still good looking and he's not that old anyway, he's only 38 acoording to Jayden. It's normal that some women will be attracted to him.

Jayden and I were exchanging meaningful glance when the doctor called his father. When he came back to us, he was smiling.

"What did she say?" Jayden asked.

"She was asking if I'm also a doctor because I looked like one then she-" He scratched his head. I wanted to laugh because he was blushing.

"She's asking if we could drink sometimes." He said looking at Jayden.

"Dad, it's fine. I never had a chance to tell you but mom said she will be happy if you could find another woman."

His father was surprised and smiled.

"I'll think about it. Let's go home for now. I know you wanted to boasts the ultrasounds to your friends." His father said.

We went home to show everyone the ultrasounds. When we got home, we were surprised that they have prepared a small party for us. It says on the banner, Congratulations!

We were so happy that I couldn't imagine that there's something that will change our lives forever.
