To Hate My Stepbrother

Ava’s POV

It’s been a long day and the thought of the investor still annoyed me but I didn’t say anything to Mason because I knew that he isn’t going to take it easy.

“Gosh, I feel seriously weak.” I groaned after running to throw up for the third time today as Mason helped me on my chair and I couldn’t do anything but place my head on the table to rest for a while.

“We need to go to the hospital right now. Let’s go.” Mason ordered, making me laugh and I knew changing his mind would be hard but I tried and told him about how disappointed the investors would be if we failed at this.

After a while of talking him into working for a while, Mason made sure that I didn’t stress myself or even leave his office while we both worked.

The day soon ended and Mason and I drove to the hospital to run the test. I’ve been feeling lightheaded and nauseous lately and I just knew that I was pregnant but I also didn’t want to be too forward.

The test results came out and it confirmed what I already knew. I really am pregnant. I’d thought that Mason and I needed to talk about it but he was too happy to hear what I wanted to say which gave me the relief that he also wanted the child.

I was also happy but the thought of having a baby made me have mixed feelings because of Khalid and I was sure that Mason felt that way too because after jubilating his facial expression changed.

“Khalid would’ve been so happy to know that he’s going to have a sibling.” He sighed as he placed his head on my shoulder.

“I know,” I also sighed, “but we’re going to do a better job raising this child than we did Khalid.” I smiled.

“And I’m making a promise right now that if we’re having a baby boy we’ll name him after Khalid.” I finished and Mason smiled so widely.

“And what if it’s a girl?” He asked, winking and I knew that he was teasing me.

“Oh well we’ll just have to name her after my mum.” I laughed but he knew that I was serious as I held his hand and led him out of the hospital.

Mason drove us to a nearby bar to celebrate the good news, “you know I can’t drink.” I pointed out to Mason who seemed to have forgotten.

Realizing, he downed the shots of tequila on my behalf and asked for juice for me while he had all the fun and took all the alcohol that he could.

I knew he was tipsy and driving in that state would only mean trouble but Mason insisted on driving and I knew better than to insist too because of how extremely stubborn he can be.

Finally giving in while also praying for both our lives to be safe by the time we get home, Mason drove recklessly and we’d almost gotten in an accident.

The sound of sirens behind us told me all I needed to know about being in trouble, Mason pulled over and I had no idea how he was able to stay composed and not get into a really big trouble with the officer.

He was able to convince the officer that he only drank a glass of wine, the officer scolded him and gave him a speeding ticket before telling him to drive more carefully or things would be different.

“Will you let me take the wheel now?” I asked and defeated, he finally allowed me to drive us home and soon we were home.

Taking Mason out of the car, I helped him to our bedroom and tucked him in bed carefully. He fell asleep almost immediately his body touched the bed.

Leaving Mason in the room, I immediately excused myself to call our parents and give them the good news.

“You’re kidding!” My mother yelled after shrieking for the first five minutes that I told her that I’m pregnant.

“I’m not, I’m really carrying his baby and I’m so excited about it.” I laughed as I told my mother everything the doctor told us.

“I know!” She shrieked, before Danny took the phone from her, “your ears will bleed all night if I don’t do this.” Danny laughed and he was right, my ears were bleeding already.

I could hear my mother’s excitement in the background as Danny congratulated me. She took the phone back and told me all I needed to know about being careful and not stress myself out.

“I promise to fly back to Miami as soon as I can so I can take good care of my baby girl.” My mother laughed and I knew that nothing I say will make her change her mind because it’s made up already.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

We finished talking and I excitedly called Nicole to also let her know about this and thankfully she’d just tucked her child in bed so she has enough time to talk to me.

“This is such great news,” Nicole tried her best not to yell so much and I could tell that it was because of her child, “I really need to start preparing to fly down to Miami.” She added, making me laugh.

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry.” I said but she couldn’t even wait to be with me.

“Are you kidding? I’m in so much hurry and guess what, Ava?” She asked, “I just found out that I’m pregnant again.” She broke the ice before I could guess it and now it was my turn to shriek.

I couldn’t believe that my best friend and I would get pregnant at the same time and it’s no wonder she really wants to come back here.

We spoke late into the night and talked about how close we want our kids to be just like the two of us.

“They’ll be so close that people will think they’re twins.” Nicole said in a high pitched voice that signifies her excitement.

We spoke till late into the night so that neither of us could sleep.
