Chapter 406: Life Changing
"You can pee on a pregnancy stick. I’ll get someone to buy a few. Then we can get you checked up properly at the hospital," Hayden replied very calmly.
"You’ll do the check up for me?" I asked, curiously.
"No…we’ll get a proper gynecologist to do it. Your husband isn’t a gynecologist, you know…" Hayden quickly corrected me.
"Oh, right…" I mumbled.
"Don’t worry. You’re not sick, I’m sure that you’re just pregnant," Hayden stated with confidence.
I had no idea why Hayden seemed so sure that I was pregnant. Plus, what does he mean that I’m ’just pregnant’?
Isn’t it supposed to be a super big deal if I’m pregnant? Why doesn’t Hayden seem surprised or excited at all? Although he seems so certain that I’m pregnant.
Later that evening, the pregnancy sticks arrived, and Hayden instructed me to use them as a first check to see if I was pregnant or not. There were four of them, each one from a different brand. I glanced at Hayden and received a reassuring nod from him.
"Do I…pee on all of them?" I asked while feeling uncertain about what I was supposed to do.
Now that the time had arrived for me to take the tests, I just felt so nervous and then I realized that I was scared of knowing the result. My emotions were a mess, and I had no idea what result I was secretly hoping for.
Do I want to be pregnant with Hayden’s child right now?
My hands shook as I held the test kit in my hands. There were so many test kits so I could guess that Hayden really wanted to be sure about the result. Unlike me, Hayden seemed relaxed and non-disturbed about this at all.
"Scared?" Hayden asked.
His voice was gentle and so were his blue eyes as he looked at my face. His lips curved into a gentle smile, and he took my hands in his before pulling me into his embrace. I could hear the regular beating of his heart as his warmth and familiar scent enveloped me. I felt so safe in his arms, and I was glad that at least one of us could remain calm and collected in this situation.
His reassuring and dependable presence comforted me and gave me strength.
"Want me to go with you?" Hayden asked softly.
His large hand stroked the back of my head lovingly and I pressed my face even closer against his chest. It might be easier for me to have Hayden there with me, so I slowly nodded my head.
"Alright. Let’s go," Hayden readily agreed to my choice.
It was great that he was willing to support me. Now that I think about it, ever since we decided to get married, Hayden had always been supporting me in everything that I wanted to do. He always thought of me and helped me in his own way. Usually, he planned for me many steps ahead of what I could even think or get done for myself.
"Thank you…Hayden…" I whispered as I stared up into his attractive face.
He led me to the toilet before he stood to the side to give me some space. Now all I needed to do was to pee…
Hayden stepped to the side and leaned on a wall to give me some space to myself. This felt very strange, and I couldn’t help but recalled how he used to bully me before when we had just met. It was an embarrassing memory of how I ended up peeing in front of him. He was such a big bully back then, and perhaps, he was still one now.
I giggled a little to myself at the thought as I prepared to wet the first test kit.
"Concentrate…" Hayden told me a little sternly.
I couldn’t help but smile a little at his adorable reaction. Although he didn’t openly show it, I bet that Hayden probably felt anxious and excited about this to. Within a few minutes, we would find out if I was carrying our child. It was a strange feeling because I didn’t really know what I was feeling.
After I had peed on the first test stick, I felt relieved but also very excited at the same time. When I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes, I found myself praying that the result would turn out to be positive. That was probably the moment when I truly realized that I had been hoping that I would get pregnant.
After accepting that and embracing it, I started praying so hard and so desperately for the result to be positive. I truly wanted to have a baby with Hayden.
I felt his arm around my shoulder and when I opened my eyes, Hayden was standing next to me while I still sat on the toilet seat. All that was needed was a few minutes for the result to show. Although my eyes were opened, I didn’t dare take a look at the pregnancy stick. Instead, I kept my eyes glued to Hayden’s angelic face as I tipped my face upwards and smiled at him.
"The results should be out," Hayden stated.
"Can you take a look for me?" I asked a little shyly.
I was flat out scared, but for some reason, it made me feel better when I thought that Hayden would be the one telling me the result of the test.
"It’s positive," Hayden stated emotionlessly.
"Really?" I exclaimed with widened eyes.
I just couldn’t quite believe that it was happening…
"You can see for yourself. See? I told you so," Hayden said with a small smile as he showed me the pregnancy stick.
True to his words, there were two lines on the stick which meant that I was indeed pregnant.
"Want to keep peeing on the other ones until you’re satisfied?" Hayden asked.
