Seek And Destroy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 37 : Roses And Whiskers.

*Elena's View*

I woke up to see a sleeping Edward, on a chair next to me. His head resting on my stomach, hand clutching mine.

I played with a strand of his hair till he suddenly shot right up. He eased and became more calm when he saw me,'Good morning beautiful. How are you feeling?'

'Honestly?', I reply ,'I feel like shit'

He snorts,' it'll get better. They at least managed to extract the bullet from your wound'

I let out a sigh. I start to examine my surroundings for the first time. The walls were pure white and so were most of the furniture. There was a dresser, a cupboard, a sofa and a table with a few chairs next to a blue door that most probably led to the bathroom.

'I could use some coffee', Edward finally lets out,'Can I get some for you?'

I nod weakly. I don't really like coffee but I know caffeine is a good option for me.

'You want anything to eat? Beugard can send some lobster over. I know you love those and frankly, I don't trust hospital food', Edward asked concernedly.

'I appreciate it if you'll just get me something sweet. I'm getting an itch for chocolate', I chuckle.

'Chocolate? At...', he looks at his wrist watch and frowns,'Seven in the morning?'

'If chocolate is allowed to be eaten with pancakes at morning times, what difference does it make eating it without the pancakes? Although, pancakes would be nice as well', I grin.

He lets out a sigh and laughs,'Only you could debate over me through chocolate'

He pauses,'Well, give me half an hour to one hour, I'll be back with all your goodies. I'll have a nurse send you the coffee immediately though'

I nod with a smile. He walks over to me and plants a long kiss on my forehead before he leaves. His departure makes me feel all lonely again.

Five minutes later, a nurse comes in, carrying a tray of empty coffee cups and a steel flask of coffee,'His majesty shouted that we shouldn't serve you with plastic cups... so I tried to get our most finest China so you could do as you please'

I chuckle,'Plastic cups are alright. That's just Edward's way'

She smiles sheepishly and pours me the coffee. She hands it to me cautiously and then leaves.

I take a sip,'Urgh. Maybe I shouldn't have drunk the coffee. I forgot how bitter it is'

I get up from the bed as my stomach starts to feel sick. I ran to the bathroom sink and braced myself as I started to let everything come out.

===========================

Half an hour as promised, Edward returned with a basket of goodies. But that wasn't it.

Alice trailed behind him, carrying Saphira in one hand and a bouquet of roses in the other.

'Awe, Saphira! Alice!', I beamed.

'And no hello for me', Edward grumbled. He didn't look the least but happy of Alice coming with him.

'Don't be jealous', Alice teased as Edward glared at her.

Edward turned his attention back to me as Saphira settles on my lap,' Any word from the doctors'

'Nothing, they're still trying to explain to why I vomited in the morning', I say, scratching Saphira behind the ears.

Edward tensed,' you vomited?'

I nod my head,' I'm not feeling so good... and give me the chocolate! My craves are killing me'

'No way. You said you feel sick', Alice interjected and for once Edward nodded as if to agree with her,' still wonder why you're vomiting though'

'I believe I can enlighten you on that question', a doctor says as he enters the room; clipboard in hand,'but I'm sorry to say that the other Miss would have to leave. Family only'

'That's not fair! They're going to be married! They're not family yet! You should call his majesty Leonard!', Alice whined.

'This has to be revealed immediately miss. His majesty Leonard hadn't embraced us with his presence since yesterday', he politely gestures to the door,'Now, if you may? If my occupant and her companion see it fit, they'll tell you themselves of the news I bring'

Alice reluctantly nodded and glared at me,'Elena, you better tell me okay? Don't make me worry'

She exited the room. Me and Edward stared at the doctor a while before Edward settled on the edge of my bed, holding my hand,'Yes, tell us'

He looked grim,'Very well. But, there's a few questions I need to clarify the details. It may seem personal but don't fret. They're not for the buzz. They're for your medical purposes'

'Okay', I say ,'We'll answer them'

'First of all, do you have frequent intercourse?', he asks, twiddling with his glasses nervously.

Me and Edward froze before Edward decided to answer; scratching the back of his neck nervously,'Twice'

The doctor raised his eyebrows at us,'Did you use protection?'

'Of course!', I blurt out and immediately sink back onto the pillows; blushing like mad.

'Condoms or the pill?', the doctor asked, his face now looking at the clipboard he had on his hand. He was ticking something on it with a pen.

'Condoms...', Edward answered sheepishly.

The doctor removed his glasses and eyed us for a minute,'Are you aware that they don't perform well at times? That they're as unreliable as the pill?'

Edward looked at me before I answered,'We were but I guess we didn't pay much attention to it'

The doctor let out a sigh before he continued,'Well then I've got some news for you. Good or bad, that's for the both of you to decide'

Edward nodded,'Go on'

'You have officially extended the royal family', he takes a sheet from his clipboard and hands it to us. It was an X-ray of my stomach and in that picture was....,'It's a boy'

************************************
This was sudden even to me. I didn't expect to write that but apparently this was one of those moments in which my hand had a mind of its own.

~Suhaila.👶🏻.

Q: baby girl or baby boy or both or twins?

-Baby boy for me please! I mean, AFTER I get married.
