DREAM GIRL

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Jeedarh POV

As I slowly opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar room. Everything was white, and for a moment, I wondered if I had passed away. But no, I couldn't be dead. I still had to give birth to our baby. Panic set in as I scrambled to remember how I ended up here. That's when I saw Ash's worried face, and my heart skipped a beat.

I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me. The last thing I remembered was coming out of the bathroom, feeling faint, and grabbing the flower vase, which shattered on the floor. Everything went black after that.

A nurse rushed in and out of the room, leaving me with more questions than answers. Where was Ash? Had he found out about my condition? I couldn't bear the thought of him discovering my secret in this way. I wanted to tell him myself, but how could I when I couldn't even muster the courage to speak?

Just then, the door swung open, and Ash walked in with a bright smile on his face. My heart raced as he hugged me tightly, and I struggled to breathe. "Ash, I can't breathe," I managed to say, and he released me, concern etched on his face.

"Baby, how are you feeling? You scared the hell out of me," he said, his voice filled with worry. I tried to apologize, but he placed a finger on my lips and kissed me softly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and lips. "It's okay, baby. Thank you for making me a complete man," he said, beaming with joy.

I was taken aback, unsure of what to say. That's when he dropped the bombshell: "You're two months pregnant." I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. How could I have missed the signs? I'm a nurse, for crying out loud!

Ash's words brought me back to reality, and I giggled nervously, trying to process the news. "So, you're going to be a father now, huh?" I asked playfully, trying to hide my shock.

Ash's possessive attitude kicked in, and he declared, "No working from now on, and you won't go anywhere without me." I rolled my eyes good-naturedly, knowing this was just the beginning of our journey together.

As we discussed baby names and the future, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. The hospital smell was making me nauseous, and I rushed to the toilet, Ash patting my back as I threw up. We still had a long way to go, and I couldn't help but wonder what other challenges lay ahead.

Jeedarh POV

As I emerged from the restroom, still feeling queasy, I started packing my belongings. But Ash swooped in, taking the bags away from me without a word. I was confused - why did he need to call a nurse? The nurse arrived, gathered our things, and headed outside. I couldn't help but wonder if this was how Ash would be treating me for the next seven months - like a fragile, helpless creature.

"Ash, what are you doing?" I started to ask, but before I could finish, he scooped me up in his arms, leaving me shocked and embarrassed. "For goodness' sake, Ash, we're in a hospital! Everyone is staring at us!" I exclaimed, covering my face with my hands.

"Who cares?" he replied, his voice nonchalant. I couldn't believe Ash's behavior - was this really necessary? My mind warned me that this was just the beginning.

Once we reached the car, Ash had already loaded our belongings into the backseat. He gently placed me in the front seat, closed the door, and got in to drive. "Ash," I called out, trying to sound calm. "Hmm?" he responded, focused on the road.

"Do you need something? What do you want to eat? Tell me, and I'll get it for you," he offered, glancing at me before returning his gaze to the road. I was about to complain about the drama he'd caused earlier when I spotted an ice cream vendor, making my mouth water. I couldn't help but scream, "Stop the car!"

Ash quickly pulled over, and I blurted out, "Ice cream, please!" before he could say anything. He raised an eyebrow, got out of the car, and returned with my treat. As he handed it to me, he asked, "Was it really necessary to scream like that?"

I grinned mischievously, feeling like a child. "Thank you for the ice cream. Sorry, I just couldn't help it."
