Suspense
Bella went near her and started rubbing her back. She stood against the washbasin to regain her energy. “Are you alright, Lavanya?”
“I don’t know what is happening, Aunt Bella. I have not been feeling well since yesterday morning.” She took a deep breath.
“Let me call the Master. He will take you to the hospital.” Bella was about to leave, but she stopped her, holding her hand. “Please, don’t disturb him. You can accompany me to the hospital.”
Lavanya got ready and called Ray to inform him. He came to the mansion. “Are you feeling well?”
“It’s nothing to be worried about. I am only feeling a little uneasy. Don’t inform Eden. Okay.” She smiled faintly.
They left for the hospital and reached there within thirty minutes. Lavanya entered the doctor’s cabin with Bella. The doctor greeted them, asking them to take a seat. “My name is Clara. How can I help you?”
“Doctor, she has been feeling uneasy since yesterday morning.” Bella informed Clara about her condition.
“Okay. Please come with me. I will check you.” Clara stood up, going inside the room which was attached to her cabin and Lavanya followed her.
She made Lavanya comfortably lay down on the bed and started checking her. She asked Lavanya to come out after she was done checking her. Lavanya sat next to Bella and waited for Clara to say something. The doctor smiled, looking at her. “I think you’re pregnant.”
Lavanya got a little surprised for a moment when she heard this and didn’t understand how she should react to this news. Bella was feeling happy for her. Clara took out a pregnancy test kit from the drawer and handed it over to Lavanya. “You should take this test.” Clara instructed her on how to use the kit. Lavanya nodded and went to the bathroom to take the test.
She took the test as Clara had instructed her and came back to the cabin with the test in her hand. She gave it to Clara, who smiled, looking at the visible two lines on the test. “Congratulations, it’s positive.”
Lavanya couldn’t believe her ears. She placed her hand on her flat belly, not able to believe that a life was growing inside her. Clara prescribed her some vitamins and medicines. She gave the paper to her. “Take very good care of yourself for the first trimester, as it’s the beginning of your pregnancy.”
“What about this uneasy feeling, doctor?”
“You will feel it. It is morning sickness, which is totally normal, so don’t get worried about it, and don’t stop eating because of it. Most expecting mothers don’t like eating anything due to morning sickness. Eat healthy and nutritious food, and don’t take much stress about anything.” Clara instructed her. She thanked her and left the cabin with Bella.
They brought the medicines which Clara prescribed to her. Ray became happy when they told him about this. “Wow, I am going to become an uncle. Jaime will be so happy when she gets to know about this.”
“She will, but please Ray, don’t tell anyone for now and especially Eden. I am going to surprise him. Please take us to the mall. I want to buy something.”
Ray took her and Bella to the mall. Lavanya went inside a baby shop and started looking for the baby clothes. She looked through the clothes, taking out a white pullover on which “Hello Daddy” was written. Bella took out one more pullover on which “I was daddy’s fastest swimmer” was written.
Lavanya decided to buy both of them. She paid the bill and came out of the shop holding Bella’s hand, with Ray following them.
Ray dropped them at the mansion and left as he had some work to do. Lavanya placed the baby clothes on the bed with a huge smile playing on her lips. She started waiting for Eden to come home, sitting in the living room. Bella entered the room with a plate full of fruits for her, and a glass of juice. “You should eat something.”
“But if I throwed up again?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Bella sat beside her. “Remember what the doctor said. Don’t worry about it.” Bella started feeding her.
Eden came back in the evening. Lavanya was reading a novel. He entered the living room and kissed her forehead. “How was your day?” She asked him, holding his hand as he sat beside her.
“It was good.” He stood up. “I am going to change my clothes.”
He walked out of the living room and started climbing the stairs. Lavanya started following him when she saw that he had reached upstairs. She went to the room and found him holding the baby clothes in his hands. He was looking at them in confusion, but the next moment, a huge smile appeared on his lips.
She entered the room, and stood near him. He smiled at her. “Is it true? I…I am going to be…become a da…dad?”
She nodded with a smile. He pulled her in his arms. A tear escaped his eye. He broke the hug and touched the baby clothes. “I can’t believe this. I am going to have a baby.”
His eyes fell on Lavanya’s belly. He kneeled down in front of her and placed a kiss on her belly. “Daddy can’t wait to meet you, little angel.”
They decided to organize a small party to announce the pregnancy. Lavanya sat on the bed with Eden. She called Jaime and Kristina to invite them. Later, she called Daksh because she wanted to share this good news with him.
Daksh was preparing to go to bed when his phone started ringing. He picked it up to answer and smiled, seeing Lavanya’s name on the screen. He happily answered the call. “Hello, my dear sister. How are you?”
“I am very happy, Bhai. How are you?” He heard her cheerful voice.
“You sound very excited. Is there something special?” He became curious.
“I will tell you, but first, ask everyone to come to your room and put the phone on speaker.” Daksh did what she told him to do. “Everyone is here. Now, tell us what it is? You’ve created a lot of suspense.”
