Dane’s Irresistible Desire

= DIANA DANE’s POV =

I washed my face to feel a little more comfortable. Since I got pregnant, I always felt warm on my body and face. The doctor gives me advice to at least take a shower three times a day when there is time. Without it, even wet the face or other exposed skin.

I held my stomach and smiled. My baby girl is five months old. If Wallace hadn’t given up and fought me or if he hadn’t left the country I might have told him about our daughter. But he chose to leave me despite giving him assurance that no matter what happens I will stay.

But I can’t blame him because he’s right that no matter what his explanation is I can’t understand him because I’m not in his position. It’s like when I give him any other kind of assurance, he won’t accept it because he himself already believes in something.

I am happy, yes, because my dream was to be a mother to the child of the man I love and that is Wallace. I became a mother but she didn’t have a whole family. But it’s okay, and at least it’s still the child of the man I love. When the man I dreamed of.

My family accepted my fate. Daddy was angry when I first told him I was pregnant but when he saw his granddaughter’s ultrasound he sent me back to the mansion and even hired a nurse to take care of me. I was nervous when I first found out I was pregnant. I was traumatized by what happened to Yara but the doctor assured me that there was nothing to worry about because the baby was so healthy and so was I.

Dylan told me that Wallace was coming home this month. So I’m here at the gym to help Dylan get out of the country right away. I am planning to stay in Canada with Cooper. Despite what happened between the two of us we remained friends. I wanted to stay away so Wallace wouldn’t see me.

I don’t want Wallace to catch me and maybe even see that I’m pregnant. I don’t want to force him to come back to me just because we have a child. Even though he said he loved me it was still different that he came back voluntarily because that’s what he wanted not because he was just forced.

But honestly, I miss him. I’m just really thankful that I have a baby in my womb because my attention is focused on her. I am thinking too much so I went out of the bathroom. I found out that Cluster was already there.

“I’m sorry it took so long.” I felt my heart stop beating when I saw the man sitting across from Daze. I couldn’t blink when our eyes met. I was so surprised and I didn’t expect to see him.

Did I think he was still in another country? Why didn’t Dylan tell me he was coming today?

I just swallowed when he frowned and looked at my stomach. What the fuck! I can really kill Dylan for not telling me Wallace is here. I really want to ask Maggie to burn the gym down.

Ok, fine, I’m really a fool because I admitted that I wanted to jump for joy when I saw him. I want to hug him and kiss him and say ‘asshole, I am pregnant.’

“Dane, what are you doing there? It is not good for a pregnant woman to stand and my niece might slide down.” Daze call me so I panicked and walked closer to them. I sat next to Daze opposite Wallace. ‘Relax self, it’s just Wallace.’

“Hi!” I greeted and held my stomach. I hope he doesn’t notice. But the fool of my thinking. How could he not notice the size of my stomach? Well, it’s not that big because mommy said she was pregnant like this before. Maggie and Margot were so small back then that they had small bellies even though they were about to give birth.

“You’re pregnant?” he asked and I could not answer immediately. Lord, help me.

“Obviously, Wallace. What is that gas?” Daze answered his question.

“How many months?” he asked again.

“Five —”

“Three.” I immediately grabbed what Daze had to say. The baby is five months old but not very big. She was formed when Wallace took me to Pangasinan where we also ended our relationship.

“Three?” Daze asked. “How big is my niece?”

“Daze.” I rolled my eyes at her because of what she said. Wallace will notice later.

“Wallace, wait a minute, and Dane and I will just end this conversation about his departure for Canada. She intends to follow her husband’s Cooper so that their child will be born there.”

“Husband?” Wallace asked with a frown.

“Ow, sorry bro, didn’t Cooper tell you? I mean didn’t anyone tell you?”

“Tell me what?”

“Cooper and Diana got married more than a month after you left the country and went on a honeymoon, but Cooper left immediately because he needed to work. But the fuck is a shooter and before leaving blown Diana’s tummy. Am I calculating the timing correctly, Dane?”

I shook my head because the idiot is really good and has the speed to think. Daze counts on her finger also.

“I think yes brother, your time is right. You’re good at inventing —- counting.”

“Mathematicians’ this, Daze.”

That’s why I’m leaving so Wallace won’t see I’m pregnant. And now that he’s here in front of me, we’re like fools with their own stories so that Wallace doesn’t know that it’s his child.

“Congrats, Diana,” he said. But he’s eyes are red.

“Thanks.”

“Excuse me.” We could no longer answer when Wallace immediately stood up and left the office. I wanted to call him but I just ignored him.

“I think your daughter’s father was hurt,”

“Shut up, Daze!” I was annoyed to see and look at Cluster who looked at us.

“Quite me, I pretend I don’t know,” he said and looked at Dylan then signaled to zip his mouth.

“What the hell, are you talking about Dylan?” I asked Dylan.

“Why? It’s true that you’re leaving for Canada and you’re planning to stay with Cooper, aren’t you?”

“Yes, but why did you say that she is my husband and this is our child?”

“You don’t want to say because you don’t want to leave because you’ve changed your mind after you saw Wallace.”

“What?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Yeah, Dane, you’re so in denial. It’s obvious on your face that you want to hug Wallace. Oh, it’s so bright!” Daze even pointed to my face.

“You two stop before I get mad at you.”

“Ok.” They said at once.

“I plan to leave so that Wallace won’t find out I’m pregnant. Now it is obvious to his eyes that my stomach is big. What else can I hide from him?”

“Why did you grab when I said it was five? At least he had a clue that it might be him. You said these three, then when we accompanied you on your trip, you were angry. Your brain is also getting slow when you face Wallace.”

“Dandelion!”

“Sorry, just stating the fact.”

“Why didn’t you tell me he was here, Dylan?”

“I also didn’t know he was coming.”

“Oh, Dylan, stop me being an ass. You are really fooling me.”

“Chill, Dane,” Dylan said. “The baby might get angry too and look like Shrek.”

I leaned my back on the couch as I closed my eyes. Suddenly I was confused because of the fast pace of what happened. I just hope Wallace believes that I’ve been pregnant for three months. My stomach is not that big compared to others.

“Dane,”

“Shut up, Daze!” I close my eyes.

“Shh, let’s shut up everyone, and let your Dane think because of her foolishness.” I roll my eyes at her.

“I’m leaving.” I grabbed the bag and then stood up.

“You said I would take care of these papers of yours?” Dylan asked.

“Use that to fire your condo.” Am I still leaving? Wallace is already here and sees this ball in my stomach. What’s the used?

But when I opened the door Wallace was also holding the doorknob.

“Diana?” He was staring at me. What is it like when I want to open my mouth and tell him the truth but —

“Shit!” I was gripped in my stomach when I felt weird for the first time.

“Are you ok?” He had a worrying question. I could also see in his eyes that he was suddenly confused.

“Dane, are you okay?” Dylan and Daze also approached quickly.

“Hey, sister?” I felt like a fool holding my stomach and smiling when I felt the baby kick again.

“My baby kicked,” I said with a smile.

“Really?” Dylan gently tapped my stomach. “Knock-knock, Ace, are you there? Tito handsome is here.”

“Ace?” Wallace asked.

“It’s moving,” Dylan said quickly so no one noticed Wallace’s question. Shit, you really are Dylan. “Your stomach feels like it’s moving, Dane.”

“May I? I never touch pregnant. Is it ok?” I looked at Dylan and Daze and then cast a spell.

“It’s okay, Wallace. Cooper is not here so feel free.” The idiot even took Wallace’s hand and placed it on my stomach. “You first while Cooper is not here.”

‘Baby, that’s daddy’s hand.’

“H-hi, baby.” My daughter kicked hard when Wallace said that. He also looked at me. “She kicks,” He said smiling.

“Yeah.” We both stared. I can’t explain my joy that Wallace was holding my stomach. Come on, Wallace, that’s your daughter, you animal!

“Did the baby really kick?” Daze asked so we looked at her.

“Yes,” I replied with a smile.

“Is she an alien? Five months is the start of the baby’s kick ‘isn’t it brother?” I close my eyes because of what Daze said and froze. ‘Fuck, why didn’t I think of that.’ “I said did you ever have those false kicks?” Then she looked at Dylan. “Did you, older brother?”

“Yes, you said it.” Then they both laughed. So I looked again at Wallace who was looking at me while his hand was still on my stomach.

“Cooper is lucky,” he said emotionless.

“I know, and me too.”

“I am happy for both of you.”

“Thanks.” He smiled and removed his hand from my stomach.

“It should be me if I hadn’t been stupid,” he said

“Wallace —” and left without saying anything.
