SOLD TO THE MAFIA | SAILUBPON

CHAPTER 19

The morning air was crisp, a fresh start to what promised to be an eventful day. Pon and Sailub had barely exchanged a word as they got dressed and prepared to leave for the doctor's office.

Pon had been feeling off for days now, and despite all Sailub's efforts to comfort him, the uncertainty lingered. Sailub knew something was wrong, but they hadn't yet figured out exactly what it was.

They arrived at the clinic, Pon a little hesitant as they entered the waiting area. Sailub held his hand firmly, offering a comforting smile. "It's going to be fine, Pon. Don't worry."

Pon gave a small nod, his nerves still visible. "I just... I don't understand. I've never felt like this before. What if it's something serious?"

Sailub's grip tightened slightly, his thumb tracing comforting circles on the back of Pon's hand. "We'll find out soon. And no matter what it is, we'll get through it together."

After a brief wait, they were called into the doctor's office. Pon was led to the examination room, where the doctor greeted them with a warm smile, asking Pon a series of questions about his symptoms.

"So, Pon," the doctor began, "from what you've described, it seems like your body is going through some changes. I think we should run a few tests to be sure."

Sailub stood by Pon's side, his presence grounding him through the uncertainty. He glanced at Pon and gave him a reassuring look, silently telling him that everything would be okay.

Minutes later, the tests were done, and the doctor returned with the results. The doctor looked at them both, smiling as he shared the unexpected news.

"Pon, Sailub, I've gone through all the tests, and the results are clear. You're both expecting a baby."

Pon blinked in shock, and Sailub's jaw dropped. There was a long moment of stunned silence before the doctor continued.

his voice gentle but confident. "It's early, but everything looks healthy. You should continue taking care of yourself and get regular check-ups. I'm sure you'll both be wonderful parents."

Pon's heart raced in his chest as the doctor's words settled in. "A baby?" His voice was barely a whisper, a mix of disbelief and wonder.

Sailub, on the other hand, couldn't hide the overwhelming excitement that washed over him.

He turned to Pon with wide eyes, his hand resting on Pon's shoulder. "We're going to be parents?" His voice cracked with emotion, a smile forming on his face. "Pon, we're going to have a baby!"

Pon's eyes filled with tears, his hand instinctively going to his stomach as if to protect the life growing inside him. He looked up at Sailub.

seeing the joy and excitement on his face. For a moment, everything else seemed to fade away. It was just them, standing in that room together, on the brink of something new and beautiful.

"Are you happy?" Pon whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.

Sailub pulled Pon into a tight hug, his face buried in Pon's hair. "Happy doesn't even begin to describe it, Pon. I'm beyond thrilled. We're going to make this work, I promise you. I'm here for you and the baby, always."

Pon, overwhelmed by the sudden rush of emotions, clung to Sailub, his body shaking as he let the tears fall.

There was a sense of relief, a sense of joy finally, an answer to all the confusion and uncertainty.

They were about to start a new chapter together, one that neither of them had expected but were now ready to embrace.

The drive back home felt surreal. Pon sat quietly, his hand resting on his stomach as Sailub drove, his eyes focused on the road but his mind clearly elsewhere.

He kept glancing over at Pon, who was staring out the window, his face soft with contemplation.

"Pon," Sailub said softly, breaking the silence, "this is really happening, isn't it?"

Pon turned his head slowly, his lips curling into a gentle smile. "Yeah... it really is."

Sailub couldn't help but smile back, his heart swelling with happiness. "We're going to be parents. Our little family... I can't wait."

As they reached home, Pon's phone rang. The moment he saw the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat.

It was the doctor's office, likely with more information or instructions. He answered quickly, his voice still trembling with excitement.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Pon, this is Dr. Chai from the clinic," the doctor's voice came through clearly. "I just wanted to confirm everything and remind you of your follow-up appointments. We'll schedule your next check-up soon. The first trimester can be a delicate time, so we'll need to make sure you're getting proper care."

Pon nodded, even though he knew the doctor couldn't see him. "Okay, thank you, Doctor. We'll be there."

The call ended, and Pon felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him, but this time, it was a different kind of tiredness.

It was the kind of tiredness that came with the joy of knowing their lives were about to change in the best way possible.

Sailub wrapped his arms around Pon, lifting him off the floor and carrying him inside. "You look like you need to rest. Let's get you comfortable, and we'll start planning everything for the baby."

Pon laughed softly, his hand still on his stomach. "I'm just... still trying to wrap my head around it all."

Sailub smiled warmly, brushing his lips across Pon's forehead.

"We'll take it one step at a time. First, we take care of you. And then... we prepare for our baby."

The next few days were a blur of doctor's visits, check-ups, and preparations. Sailub was by Pon's side every step of the way, making sure he was comfortable, ensuring he ate right, and even surprising him with small gestures flowers, a new set of baby clothes, and little notes reminding Pon how much he was loved.

At night, when they lay together, Sailub would rest his hand on Pon's belly, silently talking to the baby growing inside him. "Hey, little one," he'd whisper, his voice soft and tender. "Your momma and I are already so in love with you."

Pon would smile, his heart full of warmth, as he placed his hand over Sailub's. "We can't wait to meet you."

Together, they were embarking on the most unexpected yet thrilling journey of their lives, and there was no one else they'd rather have by their side than each other.

As they prepared for the future, the promise of a new beginning filled the air a new chapter, full of love, joy, and hope.
