Chapter 186: This is how far we have come 3

Maijune got up in the middle of the night and was about to get down from the bed when Aaron Saint pulled her back and got on top of her. He looked at her and kissed her passionately and soon their breathing turned heavy and passionate.

...

Maijune woke up tiredly and glared at Aaron Saint who was dressing up by the mirror.

''Aaron Saint, do you believe me when I say I will divorce you? How could you do that to me last night knowing I have a paper to write? I couldn't even revise. Are you secretly wishing that I fail my exams?''

''I asked Alice to make a sample of the likely questions and their solutions. You will study that one because I don't support cheating. This is the least I can do, so you girls better study them well'' Aaron Saint said and walked to her. he kissed her and pulled her up. ''How could I wish that you fail the exams? You are the sexiest when you are in a lab coat''

''Did you really do that for me? Don't worry, I will never try to cheat ever again'' Maijune said and kissed him ''Aaron Saint, I love you'' Maijune said and ran into the bathroom to take her bath.

.....

After the last paper.

August Maijune and AI Alice were playing card games in the hall when she suddenly felt like puking. She ran into the washroom inside the laboratory and AI Alice followed her worriedly. She stood by the door and watched as August Maijune tried to puke out as hard as possible.

When she finished. AI Alice handed her a cup of water to rinse her mouth.

''August Maijune, are you alright?''

''I don't think I'm fine'' August Maijune said and the walked back to the hall. they saw Aaron Saint walking down to the hall.

''Should I take you to the hospital?'' AI Alice asked and Aaron Saint heard them.

''What's wrong, August?''

''I don't think I'm fine. I just feel weird. The rate at which I urinate has increased, my breasts are suddenly heavy and I feel tired even when I don't know much work''

''Those are early signs of pregnancy. Do you think August might be pregnant, Mr. Saint?'' AI Alice asked.

''Did you miss your period this month?'' Aaron asked August.

''I think it is over a week late. Wait, am I really pregnant?''

''We will have to go to the hospital and confirm but I think Alice might be right''

''If I am really pregnant, then what about my school? Do I have to wait for a year before I can now go back to school?'' August asked and the hall turned silent. She sighed.

...

Kash Family Hospital.

Gynaecology department.

August Maijune clutched her fist nervously as they waited for the doctor to return with the results. Aaron Saint saw her anxiousness and held her hand softly. He turned to her saying ''if you are really pregnant, we will do whatever you want. If you want to go to school first, we can always have children after you finish school. Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want. I will always support you''

August Maijune looked at him and felt sad. It wasn't that she didn't want to get pregnant. She was just afraid that she wasn't in a stable state to have a child yet. She didn't know if she was ready to be responsible for another life.

The doctor walked in smiling as she sat down. She extended the paper to them saying ''congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Saint. You are two weeks pregnant, Mrs. Saint''

''I am really pregnant?'' August asked the doctor.

''Yes, you are pregnant'' the doctor reaffirmed.

....

August removed her clothes and stood naked in front of the two sided mirror in their bedroom. Since they left the hospital, she hasn't said a word to Aaron Saint or anyone and had locked herself up in the room the whole morning till this evening. Everyone was worried about her but they just remained in the hall waiting for her to decide what she wanted to do first.

August Maijune touched the scar on her chest down to her stomach and stopped at her abdomen. The door opened slightly and Aaron Saint went in. He walked to her and embraced her from the back. He traced her body with his hand from the scar down to her abdomen and took her hands.

''August, let's get rid of it if you are not okay with it'' Aaron Saint said softly to her.

''No, this is our first baby. Aaron Saint. I guess I was just afraid because this is my first pregnancy. A lot of things have happened to us and finally we are blessed with such a bundle of joy. How can I just get rid of it? Aaron Saint, I might not be the best wife, but I will work hard and be the best mom our child would ever have, Aaron Saint''

''I love you so much August Maijune''

''I love you too, Aaron Saint''

''Everyone is waiting for you outside. Shall we go and share the good news?'' Aaron Saint asked and August Maijune nodded her head.

''Let me change into something''

…..

At the hall, Liyah, Alice, Julieta and Leo waited anxiously. When they saw the two coming down, the ladies rushed towards them.

''Have your decided?'' Liyah asked as she touched her own pregnant belly that was already starting to show little by little.

''We are keeping the baby. I will attend school and only take leave when I'm about to give birth'' August Maijune announced.

''That's great. You have all of us here, what is there to be afraid off?'' Liyah said and hugged her.

''Yes, thank you everyone. For making me feel assured''

''Whoa, so we now have two pregnant women amongst us already? This is such a big blessing'' Juliet's said.

…..

Old Saint family house.

A week later, old Master Saint threw a big party for the family and to also congratulate August Maijune and Liyah for their pregnancies.

It was a huge one as they invited a lot of people from their business world and circle. August Maijune and Liyah looked beautiful in their own way as they wore a blue and purple gowns. AI Alice wasn't left out either, the dress she wore didn't make her look any less human. It hugged her figure and made her beautiful. She followed Julieta around as they got themselves acquainted with the soldiers that also came.

Leo Martins walked over to Liyah as she was busy chatting with Old Master Martins and whispered something into her ears. Her eyes lit up and she looked towards the entrance. She saw Rowena walking in and started shedding tears of joy upon seeing her cousin.

Rowena had been released and Leo was the one who went to pick her up and got her ready for the party.

Liyah stretched out her hands waiting to give Rowena a hug as August and Aaron stood at a distance watching their reunion.

''Rowena!!!''

''Liyah!!''

''God, this is… welcome back. I'm so happy to see you''

''Same to cousin. Your husband did most of the work to bring me here. I'm so happy to see that you are doing well. How is the baby doing?''

''The baby is fine. I missed you so much''

''She is your only family left; I knew this party wouldn't have been complete without you meeting her'' Leo said to Liyah.

''Thank you so much, Leo. This is such a wonderful surprise''

''Liyah, I only came to attend the party and see you for the last time. I will be returning to B-City. My father's teacher is still there and she has asked me to be her disciple. I intend to study painting under her and make a new start for myself'' Rowena said happily to Liyah.

''You were always good at arts and painting. I know you will do well. Rowena, let's keep in touch. We are the only ones left now, so we have to take care of each other''

''Yes, after staying away from society, I've learnt to appreciate and treat people with respect'' Rowena said and looked towards August Maijune. She walked over to her and stood in front of them shyly.

''Welcome back Rowena Myers'' August Maijune said to lessen the awkwardness between them.

''I owe you and Aaron Saint an apology. I've done so many evil things to you. I hope that you can forgive me, August Maijune'' Rowena said.

''On the condition that you will give me your first painting'' August Maijune said and everyone laughed.

''Is that all?'' Rowena asked back with a smile.

''Off course''

''Then, is a deal. I will send you my very first painting. It might not be good but it will convey my sincerity''

''That's a giving'' August Maijune said and hugged her. everyone clapped their hands.

''Today is such a wonderful day. Let's all be happy. I am going to be a great grandfather soon'' Old Master Saint said proudly.
