An Unforseen Fate

Chapter 6: The Preparation

Once we got home I took Obi inside and sat him down on the sofa. "So..." I started. "As it turns out, you were right."

"Now you believe me?"

"Yes." I took out the images from my pocket and handed them to him. He looked at them and shortly after I saw a smile spread across his face. "She estimates that I am about seven weeks along."

"Hold on." His eyes widened and he looked up at me. "If the doctor is correct then that would mean we got pregnant on our first try..."

I nodded. "Which is surprising since I believed I would never get pregnant."

"Wow..."

"So... are you... happy..?" I was nervous to ask. We had never discussed the possibility of having kids.

"Yes. Yes, I am thrilled!" His response filled me with relief. "The order was all I knew for my entire life. I grew up to believe that I would never start a family, much like you. This is quite the surprise but a welcome surprise. I would like nothing more than to start a family with you, {Y/N}."

I felt a blush spread across my cheeks and I smiled. "I feel the same way. You are the most amazing man I have ever met. I know you'll make a great father. You already make an excellent lover."

"Oh, stop it." He pulled me onto his lap and kissed my cheek tenderly. I giggled and wrapped one arm around his neck while I placed my free hand on top of his that was now on my stomach. We sat there for a long time feeling my belly. There wasn't a noticeable bump but just knowing what was growing inside of me was an amazing feeling.

"You know what this means, right?"

"Hmm?"

"I am going to spoil you rotten from now on."

"Oh really? I can't wait." We laughed then I snuggled up against him. Our hands remained on my stomach and the whole time I thought about what the future held for us. We were going to be parents. It was the one thing I had ever wanted in life. My dream had finally come true. "We should start making preparations for the baby. We don't have anything and the baby will be here before we know it."

"I agree. I can go back into the market and see what's available while you stay here and rest."

"But I want to look too," I pouted.

"I know but considering the fact that doctors told you that you would never get pregnant I think you should rest for as long as you can. Perhaps they were wrong but I want to stay on the safe side and keep the risks of a misscarriage to a minimum. The first trimester does carry the most risk."

"I know but I should be fine."

"I'm sure you would but still... Please {Y/N}, just take it easy, for me." He looked up at me with his big blue eyes and I couldn't resist. I sighed in defeat.

"Alright, fine," I agreed. "Perhaps it would be nice to sit back and relax for a few months."

"Indeed. I will pamper you non-stop and give you everything you could ever want."

"Oh, Obi, I already have everything I want, right here. I have you and I'm carrying our baby. That's it. That's all I could ever want in life." I cupped his face with my hands and pulled him into a loving kiss. I loved the feeling of his lips pressed against mine. It felt so right. It was as if we were meant to be together.

When we pulled away I looked into those beautiful eyes of his and smiled. He smiled too and it was just as beautiful as his eyes. He was a charming man and I was so thrilled to be carrying his child.
