Broken Heart

BH 71

They immediately told the news about Dale's pregnancy to her parents and they were ecstatic.

Her father even wanted to come back to the Philippines as soon as possible but Dale convinced him not to.

At least not until she is on her last term of pregnancy.

Edward told Quen about Dale's pregnancy and Quen teased him about being a sharpshooter just like him.

"Is that Quen?" Dale interrupted Edward.

"Yes! Why?"

"Can I talk to him?"

"No need! I already told him about your pregnancy!"

Dale smiles.

"It's not about my pregnancy, my heart. I just need to ask him something."

"Just tell me and I'll ask him."

Dale rolls her eyes.

"Fine! I'll just call him on my own!"

As she starts to walk away, Edward hands her the phone.

"Here my love use my phone!"

Dale tries to suppress a smile.

"But you don't want me talking to him!" she heaves an exaggerated sigh.

"No it's okay my love!" he says as he hugs her.

"Thank you my heart!" she takes the phone and walks away from Edward.

"Do you really need to talk to him away from me?"

When Dale looks at him sharply, he smiles sheepishly.

"Oh okay! Go ahead! Talk to him! Ask him anything!"

As soon as Edward is out of earshot, Dale talks to Quen.

"Hello Quen? Are you still there?"

"Oh hey preggy! How are you?"

"I need to ask you for a favor."

"What about?"

While they were talking on the phone, Edward decided to look out on the terrace.

He still couldn't believe that he's about to become a father.

He wonders what kind of father he will be to their twins.

One thing is sure though, he wouldn't want to become like his father.

He would love his children with all the love that a father can give.

He is still worried about Dale's condition so he wants to know everything he can do for his wife and the twins.

He can't lose his wife.

He won't lose his wife!

He is so deep in thought that he didn't realize Dale walked up to him.

Not until he felt her arms around his waist.

He tries to face her but Dale tightens her hold on him.

"Let's just stay like this for a while my heart." as she rests her head on his broad back.

"Finished talking to Quen?"

"Yes! And I also asked Elizabeth about her ob."

"Anything I should know about?"

Dale knows that he wants to know what she talked about with Quen but she can't tell him yet.

"Not yet my heart. But I assure you that there's nothing to worry about."

Edward sighs.

"Okay..."

"You smell so good my heart!" Dale diverting the topic.

Edward shakes his head and faces Dale.

Dale looks at him with innocent eyes.

"What? You do smell so good!" as she proceeds to sniff him.

"And yummy!" as she snuggles to him.

Edward extricates himself from Dale.

"You're obviously changing the topic Dale!"

"Yes I am!" she shamelessly admits with a grin.

Edward couldn't help but smile.

He could never really stay angry at his wife especially when she smiles at him.

"I love you my heart!" she says in a teasing voice before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

He is hopelessly whipped.
