Chapter 449 - Indigestion problem...

Their lips were just few inches apart and about to brush with each other when suddenly something so uncertain had happened which none of them had ever expected..

Veronica pushed Reuben with all her force and ran towards the washroom in a speed of a bullet train and started puking her guts out..

Reuben laid on the bed for a few seconds, completely baffled. But his trance soon got broken when he heard the awfully puking sound from the washroom..

As if he finally he came into his play mode after pausing for a while, he immediately made a run towards the washroom and barged inside in like an erupted volcano..

Holding her hair from behind, Reuben caressed her back softly and helped her to clean her face after she was finally done with her vomiting.

Veronica rested her head in Reuben's chest, completely exhausted and inhaled few deep breaths..

Without saying anything, Reuben lifted her up in his arms and laid her on the bed, before sliding beside her.

Pulling the comforter over the border, he ran his fingers through her hair by one hand while caressed her cheek gently to give her some relief..

"Babe.. I know it's not the right time to say this but still you shouldn't have eaten the pizza after having Chinese.. Look, now you're the one who is sick." Reuben said with pure concern, lacing in his voice.

Veronica opened her eyes slightly to have a look on his worried face and a small smile appeared on her lips.

Stroking his cheek fondly, she said with a small pout, "But Bennie.. Those pizzas were so tasty. Though I was already full but still I was craving for those pizza and chicken nuggets. So I couldn't control myself.."

Reuben sighed at her and said, "Okay.. I understand.. But from the next time, you have to care of your intestine properly. And tomorrow first in the morning, you're going to doctor to have your check-up. I don't want to see you sick again."

"But it's just a small problem. Nothing much.." Veronica tried to retort.

"No.. I'm not listening to anything. You need to go to hospital tomorrow morning and it's final. I don't want to take any kind of risk with your health." Reuben said.

"Okay.. Fine.. Now let me sleep. Will you?" Veronica gave a big yawn.

Reuben smiled at her and pulled her into his embrace.

Kissing her forehead, he whispered, "Goid night, love.."

Nuzzling her nose into his neck, Veronica wrapped her hand around his waist and mumbled with a small smile, "Goid night, hubby.."

Next morning..

Veronica was sitting in the doctor's cabin with Reuben who was continuously rubbing her palm to ease her.

Veronica couldn't help but smile as she could clearly see that Reuben was the one who was actually tensed while she was just enjoying his care for her..

"So you were vomiting last night and even today morning also?" The doctor asked.

"Uhm.. Yes.. I think I have a mild food poisoning. Can you please prescribe some medicines for it?" Veronica asked.

The doctor stared at her for a while and was about to say something when they heard Reuben's phone ringing loudly..

Reuben checked the caller and noticed that it was none other his assistant, Tom..

His brows furrowed together in confusion as he knew that, Tom would have never called him at this moment if it was not important, specially when he had clearly mentioned that he'd be in hospital with his wife right now.

"Iva.. I'll just go and come after answering this call." Reuben said.

Veronica nodded her head and Reuben got out of the room after pecking her forehead.

After Reuben was gone, Veronica asked, "Doctor, you wanted to say something?"

The doctor nodded at her and said, "Yes.. I wanted to know if you're feeling dizziness or any new kind of new cravings from the past few days. Most importantly, when did you have your period last time?"

A frown appeared on Veronica's forehead as she said in confusion, "Uhmm.. No.. I didn't feel dizziness till now. But yeah.. When I saw pizza last night, I couldn't stop myself from eating them even though I was very much full..

And about period… I think it's coming in few days time. Wait a minute! Today is the last day of this month and I always have my period in the middle of the month. That means, it's got delayed this month."

The doctor smiled at her and asked, "Are you sure that it's delayed or you've actually missed your period this month?"

"No… How could I miss my----"

Veronica was about to deny but when the realisation of the doctor's words hit her hard, she abruptly stopped in middle at her sentence.

"Wait! Doctor, what do you mean by me missing my period? Do you by any chance want to say that I…. I'm pregnant?" Veronica's eyes widened in realisation, making the doctor nod at her smilingly.

"I think you have come to the wrong ward, Mrs. Smith. You have to book an appointment in the obstetrician department." The doctor informed her.

An immediate smile crept on her lips as a tear of happiness rolled down on her cheeks. She couldn't believe that she was going to be a mother soon.

There's a tiny human being growing inside her w.o.m.b who was going to be the symbol of her and Reuben's unconditional love.

Veronica sat there, completely paralysed in shock, still unable to register the idea of giving birth to a tiny baby of their own in few more months.

She was still emerged in her thoughts when the doctor's voice finally broke her trance..

"Mrs. Smith.. As a gastroenterologist, I can't give you the hundred percent guaranty as you have to check with an gynecologist about this matter. But according to my experience, there's a maximum chance of you being pregnant." The doctor stated, looking at her dazed face.

Wiping the tears from her face, Veronica nodded her head and asked in a pleading voice, "Doctor can you please hide the possibility of me being pregnant from my husband and tell him that it's some indigestion problem?"
