The Remnants of Our Love | LingOrm (LadaEarn)

Chapter 21

They were approaching the date of their wedding and a lot has happened. Since they had talked about having kids, they went to countless appointments together and have gotten preparations for IVF with both of their eggs to be planted into Earn's womb. Two weeks ago, they had transferred the fertilised eggs. Today was their checkup to see if it was successful or not. Fahlada has taken off the whole day to accompany Earn. With all of this happening, they had done their best to keep it under the wraps so that their parents would not find out.

They entered the doctor's office hand in hand after doing the blood test a while ago.

"Congratulations. The blood test shows that you are expecting. We will go ahead and run some tests as well as schedule the ultrasound." Their doctor spoke.

The two of them were happy, they were getting one step closer to building their family. Now, they were stepping into the ultrasound room. The ultrasound technician placed the cooling gel on Earn's abdomen, making her flinch a little. As the wand frequently slides around, Fahlada noticed something. Her eyes were focused and she was trying not to misread it. Her lips curled into a smile as she finally sees it when the technician took some captures.

Earn was amused as she couldn't understand anything that she was seeing, but seeing her wife's happy face, she knew there was good news.

"Teerak. You're smiling so hard." Earn poked Fahlada's waist.

"I'm just happy. So happy."

"Dr. Fahlada. You don't need me to say it, do you? Your wife does not have a clue why you're smiling." The ultrasound technician laughs at Fahlada.

"What, Teerak?" Earn was now curious.

"I'm happy because we're having twins!" Fahlada says proudly as she starts tearing up.

"She's right. The ultrasound is reading that. Congratulations again." The technician smiles at the both of them.

Both of them went back home and started thinking about how to tell their parents. They want it to be a cute celebration. Hut Fahlada had something else in mind. When they started the whole IVF process, she quickly realised that she had never even proposed to Earn. She made it her goal to not have their "second" wedding without a proposal. She thought about having the proposal be the pregnancy reveal as well. The only problem was the fact that she was bad at keeping a secret from Earn.

——

They had recently moved into a bigger house. It was a decision that they both made, to buy a house with at least four rooms to accommodate their dream of having three children. Earn and Fahlada had asked their parents as well as their siblings and friends over for dinner. They had disguised the dinner as a gathering before the wedding. Over the weekend, they were preparing gift boxes for everyone that was invited. In those gift boxes were things that were relevant to their wedding, but they also tucked in a little surprise to announce their twins.

As soon as everyone finished eating, they gathered everyone in the living room, giving each of them boxes. Fahlada did most of the work, not wanting Earn to move around much because of her clumsy nature. Just as Earn was about to speak, Fahlada hands her a box as well.

"What is this?" Earn asked the Doctor.

"I wanted to give you something as well. You should open yours with them." Fahlada smiles.

"Now I feel bad for not getting you one." Earn pouts.

"It's ok. Just having you is enough." Fahlada pats the Actress' head.

"Ok. Everyone, please open your boxes, and I'll open mine as well." Earn says excitedly.

Everyone opened their boxes with a happy smile. But as they dug deeper, some got confused, and some looked at each other as if they were dreaming. But whilst that was happening, Earn was starting to tear up as she saw what Fahlada had got her.

"Marry me, Earn? Although we're already married by paper, I don't think I have ever proposed to you. It makes me feel like I have not done enough to show you how much I love you. We've been through so much to get to this day. From our life as students in a foreign country, to being apart, and now as soon to be parents to our lovely twins. I know that we're going to be the best parents ever. They will be aware of how much we love each other and how they are born from our forever love. So let our families be our witnesses and say that you'll marry me again and again and again." Fahlada grabs the ring box and kneels down in front of Earn.

Everyone finally registered what was happening. Of course they knew that the two were getting married. But now they found out that they were expecting. The General who didn't know much about ultrasounds or anything medical was now clear of it.

"Earn. Why are you not saying anything? You know you can't say no to her at this point. I already paid for everything and you are pregnant. I don't want to be the one dealing with your cravings and mood swings." The General joked.

"Honey. Stop ruining the mood." Khun Ying Jintana lightly slapped her husband's arm.

"Yes! P'Mor I will marry you! We've already planned to do so. You didn't have to even ask." Now Earn was crying nonstop.

"Dek Deur. Don't cry. We don't want our babies to think that I made you cry." Fahlada soothed Earn.

"They're happy tears. They won't think of anything bad about you." Earn smiled with tears still running down her face.

Everyone was celebrating, taking turns to congratulate their two and pulling them into longing hugs.

"I know for a fact that I will be their favourite auntie." Bow says.

"That's confident that you think that. I'm pretty sure it will be me." Petra argued.

"You two should keep that to yourselves because as P'Lada's cousin, that title is for me." Nulee chimed in.

"Eh hem." Naphak, or Phat, Prem's girlfriend signalled the three. "I think someone has already claimed that title..."

Next to Fahlada and Earn was Prem who knew about their pregnancy journey.

"No worries. I am not fighting over you guys for that title. I already have mine. I'll be their godmother." Prem smiled cheekily.

"That's not fair. Why do you get that title?" Bow sulked.

"Who knew about their pregnancy?" Prem asked, everyone staying silent. "Right. It was me. So I have known them and they have known me. We have a connection."

"And I will be the godfather! Gosh it's so nice to be the only guy." Tan boasted.
