Nicholas Starling's POV

I still can't concentrate on my work yet. My mind keep drifting to Rebecca.
Great!You are really a good distraction to my work.
My inner mind chuckles.

"Mr Starling, you have a call from a lady who claims to be a friend of your wife"

"What does she says?"

"She said that its urgent"

"Ok, I will call her."

Instead I call Rebecca,

"Hello, Mr Starling" said an unknown female voice

"Isn't it Rebecca Starling 's phone ?"

"It's is. This is Stella , Your wife 's friend. You have to come to hospital. Rebecca passed out."
That gets me jump from my chair.

"I am coming"

"I will send the address"


I ran to the hospital like a mad man.
Please God nothing serious happens to her. I don't know what to do without her.
"What happened..?." I asked a red head lady besides my wife.
My wife is laying pale on the bed. This makes my heart feel clutched. As I get closer to her, I saw another figure. It turns out , none other, Isreal.

"What are you doing here?. "I roar in anger. If anger could be shown physically, I would be like the Superman shooting laser eyes on his enemy .

"For my friend" he simply says monotonously , not leaving his eyes from my wife.
My wife!

I am about to say another words, but cut by "he is with us. We hang out together." Explained Stella with annoyed face .
But I still don't like the idea of Isreal spending times with my Rebecca. I eye him.and turn to Rebecca. I place my hand on hers and intertwine our fingers.

I turn to Stella
"What did the doctor say"

"Nothing, she has low blood pressure. And was diagnosing. They even have taken out her blood sample and other things they need to investigate."

"How did she pass out?."

"I don't know , she ran to ladies room after having hamburger and she didnt  come back even after ten minutes . So I started to get worry and went after her and found her passed out there "

"You should have went after her" I scold

"It's is not her fault" Rebecca cut our conversation . I rush and turn to my dear wife.

"Are you okay, sweetheart"

"Yeah" she says in faint tone and nods

I heard a knock.

"Who is the guardian of the patient"

I stand up and walk to him.

"Name?"

"Nicholas Starling "

"Relation?"

"Her husband"

"Come with me"

I nervously sit in the office, I feel like I were about to behead.
What if she has serious incurable diseases .
Chill Nic , be positive. Remember?

I don't hear what the doctor said to me.
The only thing I heard is
"Congratulations .She is pregnant "

I am very shocked

"How long?" Finally able to utter after five minute of numbness.

"Two weeks"
"I will give her required vitamins and prescriptions"

I don't know what should I feel , happy ?
I thought we have been careful enough. We use protections. But we got carried over occasionally.

Am I ready to be a father?

I return to Rebecca room. Looking at her laying form, I stood still outside her room. I close my eyes, I saw me and Rebecca are walking hands in hands and the children were playing 'statue and move ' game.
I could imagine our future, Rebecca , me and our babies.
I am really happy just by the thoughts. At that moment , I know I'm ready.

To be a father

"What does the doctor say?"

I break into goofy smile. I intertwine our fingers.
"We are having baby"

"I should have known" she smiles with joy. And hug me tight, ignoring Stella and Isreal.
"Mom told me to check it once. It's me who is really careless." She bubbles with Joy.
Of course she loves kids. She always wants a big family.
Like David Backham family. I smile with that thoughts.

"We should be going" says Stella while dragging Isreal out of the room."by the way, congratulations on the big news. Mr Straling , you knock up our friend quite fast." She chuckles.

"So, are you happy with the news?" She finally asks

"At first. I was so scared" I admitted.

"You gonna be a good father"

"You gonna be a good mother too."
"Oh my God oh my God, I can't wait to tell, Mom, dad and Mark. Oh yeah, Lily"she bubbles.

"We will fly back to them this weekend"

"I love you " she hugs me again.

"Me too". I said.

She smacks my chest and pouts
"You didn't say you love me"

"I did"

"No, you only said me too. It mean you didn't mean it"

"Ok ok , you already have terrifying mood swing . " I chuckle.
"I love you with all of my heart.." I place her hand on my heart. "See?"

"It's is beating crazily " she says as though that beating were weird

"Yes, only for you"
