Hidden [COMPLETED]

Chapter 41

"I'm pregnant."

Becky stares at Freen for a moment. Then her gaze drops to where Freen's hand is placed on her stomach. Her eyes flicker between her and her hand a few times before her eyes widen and Freen thinks it's finally starting to sink in.

Becky stared for a few seconds before attempting to speak. "You're…"

Freen nodded slowly as she fumbled for the word. "…pregnant, yes," Freen finished for her.

Becky nodded, "How? We thought it didn't work." Becky fell into the chair behind her.

Freen rushes to explain, "I thought so too. But I found out late. It was after you left. I wanted to tell you the day you returned but then everything went to hell and it never felt like a right time. I'm sorry, Becky."

Becky sits there staring, frozen in place.

"Please say something." Freen pleads.

Becky raises her head, looking right into Freen's eyes, and she's sure the feeling in her stomach isn't just morning sickness.

"We're gonna have a kid?" Becky asks, as if she can hardly believe it. Freen can sympathise; she can hardly believe it, either. It all feels so surreal. Freen nods.

Becky suddenly grins, which is her only warning before she practically jumps on Freen, wrapping her arms around her and burying her face in Freen's hair. "Holy shit!! We are gonna have a baby." Becky says moving her face from her hair to Freen's shoulder, kissing it lightly. "It tickles." Freen laughs, she felt like she could finally breathe.

"I'm so happy for us baby!!" Becky whispers leaning in, kissing Freen over and over and over again.

It made Richie giggle at the happiness Becky was so openly displaying. He clears his throat, pausing Becky's movements. She suddenly remembers that they are not alone. She pulls back and smiles at him sheepishly.

"You knew?" Becky asks.

"I did. It was me and Nam who went with her to the doctor's appointments." He smirks, "You know what, I'm so glad you're back and I can finally be relieved of the brother in law duties. Trust me, it's no fun waiting outside for these appointments bored out of your mind." They both chuckles.

"Oh my god," Becky repeated looking at Freen who playfully slaps her in the arm.

"OK I will stop." Becky smiles. "Did you tell Lyra?"

"No. I wanted us to tell her together." Becky's smile widens as she nods.

Freen's phone suddenly rings bringing them out of their thoughts, "It's Heng." Freen says before walking out for answering the call.

Richie immediately turns to look at Becky, "Tell me what you did." He asks, his voice intimidating.

"I didn't do anything."

"Come on Becca, I didn't start seeing you today spill."

Before Becky could say anything Freen rushes into the room, "Sunny has been reported missing. The police are on the case, his car was left abandoned on the side of the road, no other leads as of yet." Freen's expression turns into instant panic, "Becky, what did you do?"
