"Come in," Hayden immediately called from the other side of the door.
I opened the door, and the kids ran enthusiastically inside. The surprise aside, it wasn’t often that the kids were allowed to visit Hayden at the hospital. Hayden wasn’t just concerned about security issues, but he was also concerned about the kids catching some illness from the hospital and the patients.
Since today the two of them were allowed to come here to visit Hayden, they were amazingly excited.
"Surprise!" Henry yelled loudly as he ran into his father’s office.
"Surprise...Daddy..." Leila said in a sweet voice.
She looked a little shy and I found her reaction so adorable. Hayden looked very surprise that the three of us had suddenly dropped by his office unannounced. He immediately got up from his seat and approached the children before crouching down and spreading his arms to receive them. Henry and Leila immediately hugged Hayden and he hugged them in return.
It was a very heartwarming scene that I was fortunate to witness quite often.
Hayden gave me a questioning look like he wondered why we suddenly came while he continued to hug and pat the children on their backs. I only smiled in response to Hayden’s silent question. He was about to find out soon anyways from our children...if those two haven’t completely forgotten about our little plan.
"Daddy...mummy is going to have a baby!" Henry announced loudly when he lifted his head to stare directly at Hayden.
"Really?" Hayden asked with apparent surprise.
"Yup! A baby is on the way...it’s inside mummy’s tummy now..." Henry proclaimed confidently as he turned to point a finger at my midsection.
Hayden’s eyes shifted from his son’s face to me, and I giggled a little before smiling and nodding at him to confirm that what Henry had said was in fact correct.
"Mummy having baby..." Leila repeated in her sweet little voice.
"Really? Are you two excited?" Hayden asked as he turned his attention to the children.
"Can’t sleep? Do you feel sick?" Hayden asked softly.
I could hear the concern in his voice and knew that he was probably worried about the effects that I sometimes suffered during the early stages of my pregnancy. This time, the start of my pregnancy journey seemed quite smooth, and I hoped that it would remain that way.
"I feel fine. I was just...thinking of random things..." I replied before laughing a little shyly.
"What were you thinking about?" Hayden asked curiously.
"Hmm...I was thinking that I never expected this to happen. I mean, us getting married and having a family together and all..." I replied before I turned to smile at him.
It was hard to put all of my thoughts and feelings into words, but I guess that pretty much summed up my thoughts quite well. Hayden smiled before he started laughing softly at my words. His chest and body trembled next to me as he began laughing even louder than before.
It seemed like he was having a hard time holding in his laughter while I couldn’t figure out what was so funny about what I had just told him.
"What’s so funny? Care to share the joke?" I asked with raised eyebrows.
"Well, I sort of had an idea that we’ll end up this way..." Hayden replied before he flashed me a confident smile.
"Really? How so?" I asked as my eyes widened questioningly at him.
"I don’t know..." Hayden murmured before he looked away from me.
My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. What does he mean by that?
