Bound to you

Chapter Twenty One.

Clara's pov.

I have been throwing up for the past two days. I thought it was just some food poisoning or something,  but Nadia insisted that I take a pregnancy test saying that she experienced the same symptoms and when she did the test,  she found out she was pregnant.

So here I am,  pacing up and down the room, waiting for the test results. Honestly,  I don't know what to feel about all this.

I want children with Mark but we have really dwelt much on the subject. I am so nervous.

What if he doesn't want a child yet? What if he doesn't want a child at all? 

"Stop over thinking things, Mark will be happy " Nadia reassures me.

"Easy for you to say. You are not the pregnant one" she raises an eyebrow at me"Okay you are pregnant,  but you don't understand the situation " I clarify.

"I shall have you know that I went through the exact same thing,  except my best friend wasn't with me to comfort me
She,  was on her honeymoon. Busy having hot sex with her handsome husband " she finishes with a smirk.

"I already said I was sorry for not being there for you" I tell her.

"I know,  I just like making you feel guilty sometimes " she says with a wink.

"Now open it, what does it say" she says pointing at the pregnancy test in my hands.

"Okay" I take a deep breath.

"it's positive " I whisper,  smiling to myself without even knowing it.

"Yay! Way to go girl. You passed the test. " she shouts laughing out loud.

"I am actually pregnant. " I smile caressing my non existent baby bump.

"I am so happy for you girl. Now we are both gonna be mommas" she starts crying all of a sudden.

"Why are you crying? " I ask her wiping her tears.

"I don't know. It must be the hormones. I am just so happy. "she sniffs then wipes her eyes with the back of her hands.

"I don't know what to do.  Should I tell him? " I ask her.

"Of course you should. He will be happy,  trust me" she says giving me a hug.

"Okay,  I'll tell him.  Tonight. " I tell her.

"Don't  worry. He will be as happy as you are" she says again.

Her phone chimes and she picks up to check it. 

"It's John,  he says he is on his way here to pick me up " she says.

"Let's go eat something before he gets here" I tell Nadia who stands up immediately.

"Finally, I am so hungry " she says with a smile.

"Nadia,  we just ate,. How are you hungry " I ask her.

"Don't judge me, I am eating for two. You will feel it soon too" she tells me walking in front of me to the kitchen.

She gets to the kitchen and immediately starts taking out stuff.

" Nadia,  what's all this. It's too much"I tell her.

"Sit down let's eat. " she rose her eyes at me.

"Okay" I oblige.

We talk of random stuff as we eat. It's only after we ate done that I realise that we ate nearly everything.

"I guess pregnant women really do eat a lot" I tell her.

"Told you so" she says winking at me,, making me laugh.

Just then the door opens and Mark walks in,  Lucas right next to him.

I must admit,  he looks so good in his suits. Especially when he takes off his jacket, just like right now,  leaving his muscles on full display. Just like right now.

"Clara,  are you there"Nadia waves a hand in front of me.

I look up to find John trying to snuggle a laugh,  and Mark has a smirk on his face. Nadia on the other hand is laughing so hard.

"Um yes?  You said something "I ask awkwardly .

"I asked how your day was. But it seems you were busy daydreaming. care to tell us what it was all about : Mark asks with a smirk.

"it's  nothing "I chuckle nervously.

"Okay,  Nadia and I have to go" John announces,  "see you soon Clara" he gives me a hug.

"See you soon John. Bye Nadia" I give her a hug.

"You should give him a treat before you tell him the news" she whispers to me.

"What treat"i whisper back.

"I have put it in your closet, Good luck"she tells me then pulls away with a smile.

"Bye Mark" she says.

"Bye Nadia ,Oh and a huge congratulations to you and John . I hope I will be the child's godfather .

"Thank you Mark. I'll think about it. I mean I don't know if you'll be able to handle being a godfather. " she jokes.

"I am sure you will make the right decision "Marks says as Nadia and John head for the door. Muttering their final goodbyes .

" I have missed you "Mark says capturing my lips in a slowly kiss which turns heated so fast.

Before I know it,  we are upstairs in the bed. He continues to kiss down my neck. He takes his time,  moving slowly towards my chest .

He tears off my clothes impatiently and soon I am naked under him.

"Hey  ,I loved that dress "I tell him pouting.

"I'll get you more " he says and continues to kiss me all over.

Moments later,  we are snuggled together in the bed. I am still contemplating whether I should tell him or not.

So I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

"I am pregnant. " I blurt out avoiding eye contact.

"What"he says in shock. "Look at me" he says but I don't obey,  instead I burnt my face in his chest.

"Hey,  look at me"he urges. I shake my head no and only realise I am crying when he swipes his hand across my cheek to wipe my tears.

"Why are you crying? " he asks.

"I don't know. I really want the baby" I tell him.

"Me too. You don't know how happy I"he tells me.

"But you didn't say a word "I say sniffing.

"That's only because I am so happy. I am going to be a father. Thank you so much Cupcake. You have made me the happiest man on earth. I love you " he said kissing my forehead.
