Chapter 257 - Anxious

•Adam's• eyes lingered around the room as the duo waited for the doctor to arrive. 

After having a four dishes lunch and making sure that his little vixen was well fed, he had driven her right to the hospital. The couple was now sitting inside Dr. Matilda's office as they waited for her. She was with another patient at the moment, in the room right next to her office.

•Adam• was not only excited, but at the same time, he was anxious. Despite the cold weather, he could feel his palms sweating as he rubbed them together to ease the tension building up in his body. His eyes shifted to the woman sitting next to him, leaning against the back of her chair. Her one elbow was resting on the arm rest as she held her phone in it. Every now and then, her thumb would swipe over the screen, scrolling to the next email. 

Looking at her relaxed self, he couldn't help but frown. He wouldn't be shocked if someone was to say that he was the one who was about to be checked up by a gynaecologist, not her. 

"Hey?" He called out softly to get her attention as he leaned his face in.

Stella hummed lightly in response and looked up from her phone's screen. "What?" She pursed her lips and questioned him when he didn't continue further. 

"I'm becoming more and more anxious with each passing second." He muttered before her lips as the frown on his forehead deepened. For him, there was no shame in admitting his fears as long as the other person before him was his wife. Thinking of that, he couldn't come up with anything else which could even make him flinch except for her, let alone cause him to worry. 

A light giggle resonated through the quietness of the office which was no less than the jingling sound of Santa's sleigh to him. He saw her putting her phone down on her lap before her palms found their way to his cheeks. 

"You are so cute at times." She pinched his cheeks and added. 

"At times?" •Adam• gave her a questioning look only to get a firm nod in response. 

She leaned her face in and placed a light kiss on the tip of his nose before her lips curled up in a bright smile again. "Yeah! You are cute at times." She repeated her words from earlier. "And stop worrying about it, or your frown will become permanent soon." She raised her right hand up and traced her fingers over the V in between his brows. 

"It's just…" His words trailed off as he failed to find the right words. He wanted to share his worries with her, but couldn't put them in words. 

As if knowing what was going in his mind, Stella pinched his nose this time. "I felt the same way when it was my first time here. So, it's completely fine if you are feeling anxious." She rubbed the top of his head and added. 

Though it was her who was about to be examined, she could understand why he was worrying so much about it. He had always been like that. He wouldn't care about his own self even when he gets severely ill, but a single sneeze from her could make him go all stressed. And now the examination not only involved her, it was about their babies, how could he not go crazy.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for long." The door flew open and Dr. Matilda walked inside. She apologized to the duo as soon as she stepped inside. Her resolute voice was able to get the attention of the duo, making them turn their heads. 

"It's completely fine." Stella spoke as she gave her a polite. "I can understand that you have other patients as well." She added as the doctor settled in her seat. 

"I actually had a patient before you who was late for her appointment, but I decided to check her up because you weren't here yet. Hope you don't mind that." Dr. Matilda looked up from the desk as she spoke. She was about to continue further but stopped herself when she realized that Stella wasn't alone but had a man accompanying her. Her eyes lingered over his expressionless face before they moved back to Stella. 

Seeing the questioning look in her eyes, Stella just nodded her head silently. She should have informed her earlier that she wasn't going to come alone. But it wouldn't have been easy to explain to her as to why a man was accompanying me on my appointment. 

"Umm… So, we will get you checked up soon and see how your twins are doing. You know how it works, you need to change your clothes first before we go on the check up part. And if anyone wants to accompany you during it, they can." Dr. Matilda continued after getting her permission that it was okay to talk before the man. She added the latter sentence deliberately as she didn't know what was the relationship between these two, and the man was definitely not Stella's husband. 

"Alright." Stella nodded and just smiled at her. She could tell what was going on in her the doctor's as it was way too obvious from her expressions. For the world, her husband, Adam Levinson, was still missing.

The duo quietly followed the doctor to the adjacent room where •Adam• and Dr. Matilda decided to give Stella some privacy as she needed to change into hospital clothes. 

•Adam• kept his eyes fixed on the floor while they waited for Stella to get done. He could feel that a pair of eyes were lingering on hai figure as if they were trying to read him through. It didn't need a genius to tell who was the owner of those eyes as there was no one else in the room except for the doctor and him. He couldn't blame her though. Curiosity was incorporated within the human genome.

"I am done." Stella spoke up from the other side of the dark blue curtains and informed them. 

"Come on in if you want to." Dr. Matilda spoke up as she began to head in the direction of the curtained space. 

Shrugging his shoulders at her words, he quietly followed the doctor inside. There was no way that he would stay outside and let Stella be on her own. Her doctor was allowed to think whatever she wanted to about them, but he wasn't going to stay back. 

•Adam• continued to stand quietly next to the bed on which his woman was lying down as the doctor began to examine her belly with an ultrasound probe. He observed the entire process quietly as the doctor continued to move the probe over her abdomen, his eyes shifting from her figure to the screen where some black and white shadows could be seen. He wanted to hold her hand to reassure her, but it looked as if he was the one who needed her reassurance. 

"Well, there are your babies." The doctor's voice brought him out of his thoughts, making him turn his attention to the monitor where two miniature humans could be seen as the babies were already two months old.
