She was pregnant.
Jennie stared at the closed door where the OB/GYN had disappeared. Yes, she'd been feeling a bit nauseous. Yes, she hadn't gotten her period when she was due, but easily blamed it on stress. The craziness of the holidays with her family and work and Taehyung. And why would she have considered the possibility when she was on the birth control pill?
The words from the doctor rang in her ears.
"Did you take any other medicine for the past month?" he had asked.
"No. I just take Tylenol when I have a headache...but wait, I did. I had walking pneumonia and I had to go on..." She trailed off as the knowledge took root.
The doctor nodded. "Antibiotics. Your primary should have warned you it reduces the effects of the pill. I see this slip up a lot, actually. Happy news, I hope?"
A longing welled up from deep inside and burst through like a starburst of emotion. Yes. It was happy news.
At least for her.
She climbed behind the wheel of her Volkswagon. Then rested both palms on her flat belly.
A baby.
She was going to have Taehyung's baby.
Her mind flashed back to the past few weeks. They'd grown closer, until the natural rhythm of husband and wife became second nature. Christmas with her family seemed more relaxed, as Taehyung made a true attempt to enjoy himself. He made love to her with a passion that reached deep and grabbed her soul. She believed the walls slowly crumbled between them. Sometimes, she caught him staring at her with such raw, naked emotion, she lost her breath. Yet, each time she opened her mouth to tell him she loved him, his entire demeanor shut down like a robot. As if he sensed that once she spoke the words, there'd be no turning back.
She had waited for the perfect time, but now her time was up. She loved him. She craved a real marriage beyond a contract. And she needed to tell him what she'd done with the money.
Tension fluttered in her belly. He'd refused to marry Tzuyu because she'd wanted a child. Logically, Taehyung was afraid he'd repeat the mistakes of his father. But Jennie hoped once he realized the baby was real, and part of him, he'd open himself up and finally let himself love.
She drove home in a state of excitement and anticipation. Keeping the truth from him hadn't even occurred to her. She expected a reaction of shock and a little fear. But her gut told her Taehyung would eventually warm to the idea. After all, this wasn't a planned event so Fate had sent them this baby for a good reason.
