CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
“Looks like this idiot is always sprinkling at night, he always smiles.” I look at Jace that smiles at me.
“Water me too, Blaze.”
“Shut up, Maggie.” Maggie is always in our office. She has her own business and wants to do ads. She is always here because apart from us her advertiser she and Dane are always together.
I don’t even know if we will be jealous of her. But we are happy because Dane already has a girl friend. I am planning to introduce my wife to them so she will not get be bored.
“‘What’s the real score, sucker?’ I look at Zeus and then look at them one by one.
“What do you mean?”
“You and your wife?” I adjusted myself and dropped the paperwork.
“We’re ok. I asked her to marry me again.”
“What the hell, why didn’t you inform us? I hope we set the proposal to be romantic.”
“No need, Dane, I’ll let you know too. Besides, every day is romantic when she’s with me.”
“Disgusting,”
“Yuck,”
“That’s just a cliché.”
“Hey!” I scream.
“Seriously, ‘bro, one question, one answer. Do you love her?”
“Yes, Jace, even without a baby, even without an inheritance, I don’t care. I love her.”
“Fuck, you’re in love, sucker,”
“Tantalizing eyes, obviously every night he can score.”
“Congrats, happy for you.”
“So, how is she?” Dane asked then looked at Maggie. “I mean, is she ok? She’s good, aren’t there any changes, adjustments, things like that.” But why is there something strange in her question and she looks at Maggie after she asks me?
“She’s okay, aside from the fact that she feels dizzy and nauseous because she said she will be visiting monthly period.”
“Ow,” they said at once then both smiled.
“Looks like someone is getting married again.”
“Are you saying something, Dane?” Blaze asked.
“Huh, nothing. Am I saying something?”
“Dane said, you’re about to marry me, Blaze.”
“Whatever, Maggie”
“I will take that as a yes,” then she stood up. “Anyway, Dane, I’m leaving. I’ll just fix something and I’ll call my sister so she’s here for my wedding.” She kissed Dane and left. She didn’t even say goodbye to Blaze.
“She ignored you, Blaze?”
“I don’t care, Jace”
We focus on the paper works again when Dane suddenly speaks.
“Blaze, are you ready to marry Maggie?” The four of us looked at her.
“What’s that nonsense, Dane?”
“As far as I know, Blaze, you two have a bet, remember?” I frowned and looked at Dane. As far as I remember, they bet that Blaze will marry Maggie when Hailey gets pregnant. I don’t care about the two of them. But they are stupid because they bet on my wife’s disability.
“Dane, let’s not be immature here. You are making fun of someone’s disability. Not just someone, but the wife of our troops,” Zeus said.
“You’re not sure, Zeus,” Dane said laughing.
“What am I not sure? I am not sure you are making fun of Hailey?”
“You’re not sure about the disability.” Everyone’s eyes are in Dane. “What?” she asked us.
“What are you saying, Dane?” Blaze looks annoyed.
“Secret,” I remember the attorney saying that there was a possibility that Hailey might get pregnant. Shit, of course, he said that. So means, Blaze and Maggie have a chance. Well, knowing Blaze though he losses he has a word.
“What are you laughing at there?” Jace asked me.
“Because the attorney said —-” My phone rang and I saw Manang Tasing’s number. “One minute.” And I answered the call.
“Yes, Manang?”
[“Phoenix, Hailey started at Happy Smile Hospital.”]
“What?” I stood up to what Manang said. “What happened?”
[“She was dizzy so she lost consciousness.”]
“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
[“What happened, sucker?”]
“Hailey was rushed to the hospital because she lost consciousness.”
“I’ll be there, I’ll call Maggie to be there too,” Dane said but I ignored her. “You should too, Blaze.”
I no longer cared what they talked about. I am so worried about my wife. What happened to her? Is she sick? Is this the result of her irregular menstruation? It’s like I just want to teleport so I can get there right away.
I no longer tidy up the park and immediately went down. The three also followed me but Dane was not there. I went straight to the nurse station. The nurse told me that she was already in the ward so I go directly there.
When I entered I found him lying down while talking to a doctor. They looked at us so I approached her immediately. The three who did not enter first were outside.
“Hailey, what happened to you?” I said then touched her forehead. I am so damn worried about her. “Doc, what’s wrong with my wife? What’s wrong with her?”
“Relax Mr. Sebastian, your wife is fine. She’s in her first trimester of pregnancy so her pregnancy is a bit sensitive.” I frowned and looked at Hailey who was staring at me.
“Pregnant?”
“Yes, she’s 7 weeks pregnant.”
“Doc, my wife is infertile.”
“Ow, didn’t you go for a consultation?”
“Not yet, I was just planning. But how did that happen? How did she get pregnant and she’s infertile?”
“Well, infertile doesn’t mean that a woman can’t get pregnant. The normal menstrual cycle of a woman is 28 days. 12 days to 14 days before her period and 5 days after her last period she is fertile. Fertile means the egg is ripe and once the sperm enters, the baby will actually form. Your wife’s case is that her egg takes a long time to mature because the menstrual period is not normal so her menstruation is irregular. And because it is irregular, you don’t know when she is fertile, when she can get pregnant. But it doesn’t mean she is not capable of bearing a child. The term used for her is just wrong or you just misunderstood. The word infertile is the womb is not yet ready or the egg is ‘Not yet ovulating properly’. Again, an infertile woman can be pregnant but takes time, but that doesn’t mean not getting pregnant. The woman’s uterus is a shelter of a baby while waiting to come out. But she is not the one producing the baby but the man.”
Long explanation by the doctor.
“So, meaning my wife is really pregnant?”
“Yes, and congratulations.” I looked at Hailey then looked at the doctor again.
“Doc, how do I know that my wife is fertile? Aside from 12 – 14 days before period and 5 days after? Just for the next time, I can follow the baby immediately. Shoot immediately.”
“Hmp, the woman becomes aggressive in sex. If you know what I mean.” I looked at Hailey who averted her gaze. I seem to know now when the baby formed.
“Thanks, doc, thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome, I will prescribe a vitamin for her.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Thanks.” When the doctor came out I held Hailey’s hand. The four entered one after the other with Dane.
“That’s why you’re so much hype when you raped me, you were fertile then.”
“I’m sorry,” Hailey said.
“Sorry for what?”
“I know you’re not ready yet.”
“No, I am ready. When it comes to you, I am always ready for us. This is the best thing that happens to me. You’re the best thing that happens to me. I love you.”
“You what?”
“I said I love you.”
“Phoenix.”
“I love you, Hailey. I promise I will take care of you both. I know how much I was stupid before, but promise I will get back. I will put you and our baby at the center of my life. It’s just you, Hailey. You and baby are my life now. I love you so damn much, wife. ”
“I love you too, Phoenix.”
“Ehem.” I don’t know which of them took our attention. I turned around and saw that Maggie was already there so I smiled.
“Hi,” she greeted Hailey who was reciprocated by my wife’s hello.
“So, what’s up, Phoenix, is there a wedding again?” Dane asked and Maggie laughed at them.
“Condolences’ bro,” I said while looking at Blaze.
“What do you mean?”
“My wife is 7 weeks pregnant?”
“What?” Unbelievably he asked then looked at Dane and Maggie who gave each other high five. “I thought —”
“Yes, but a long explanation. But, I guess Dane and Maggie expected this already. ‘Isn’t it?”
“Exactly, don’t worry Blaze, I’ve already arranged our wedding. You don’t have any problems because everything is set. Just buy the wedding ring so at least you have a little something to use.”
“Shit,” he hissed.
“Be careful of the challenge, my soon-to-be husband.” But Blaze ignored Maggie and stared at Dane.
“So, you already know this Dane?” He asked annoyed.
“Obviously.” Then she looked at us. “Anyway, congrats guys. We’re so happy for you,” Dane said and approached Hailey. “I am happy for you.”
“Thanks.”
“Take care of them, fucker, if I don’t you can fight me first.”
“I will Dane.” Then I looked at Hailey, “I will take care of them.”
“You should, fucker.”
“Congrats both!” they said at once. Everyone is smiling. Everyone is tempting. But it wasn’t Blaze who looked bad at Dane and Maggie.
I was the same with Hailey before. But who would have thought that I would love her? Not only will I be loved but I can lose everything, not just her. Less than a year apart, someone next to me is getting married.
Blaze x Maggie. What will gonna happen to these two and what trials they will go through before the fool will realize that he loves Maggie as I do to Hailey.
Well, that’s his problem. We will always be with him as brothers. What use of a brother’s code if we don’t support each other? We are also happy that we have a woman with us because Dane is no longer alone.
I look at my wife who is busy talking to the two. She smiled and laughed. I was stupid then and I noticed what they said is right. I always contradicted them that I would have proven them wrong when about my wife. I promised to torture her and never fall for her. But look at me now. I ate everything I said because I loved my wife. Not just dear but dearly loved and I can no longer afford to lose her.
I will do everything for her. For them. I will love them for the rest of my life.
