Chapter 15 - Meeting my little one

Aria's POV

I grabbed my phone and looked at the name on the screen—Chase. I put the phone on my bed and ignored it. After a few calls, he sent me a message.

' Are you alright, beautiful? Chloe said that you threw up again. I am worried. Call me. '

I read the message and put my phone back down on the bed. I took the pregnancy test and went to the bathroom. I threw it into the dustbin.

I went back to my room and laid down. I put my phone on silent.

I placed my hand on my stomach and rubbed it. I didn't know what to do, so I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the room was dark. I slept a lot. I looked at my phone. There were eleven missing calls and five messages from Chase. Chloe had called me five times and texted me twice.

I texted them both: I am fine; I was sleeping.

I got up and went downstairs. My parents were in the living room. I told my parents that I was tired and went to my room. I laid down and leaned against one of my pillows. My phone buzzed suddenly. It was a message from Chase.

'I'm in front of your house. I am waiting for you. '

'Chase, I can't come. My parents are home. '

' I know; Because of that, I have waited for them to fall asleep. '

'Ok. '

I got up and took my phone with me downstairs. My parents were already sleeping. I went out quietly.

I walked out the garden and saw his car ahead. When he saw me, he got out of his car.

I walked towards him; he hugged me. Then, he pulled back and held my face in his hands.

"When Chloe told me that you felt sick again, I got worried."

I pulled back. Chase looked at me, surprised. I folded my arms on my chest. "Don't worry. I'm fine...the doctor said I caught the flu," I lied.

If I didn't say that, I knew he would insist on taking me to the doctor. That would give me time to think. "U-uh...you better go," I said.

Chase approached me and placed his hand on my cheek. "Did I do anything wrong?" he asked me.

"No. I'm tired, that's all," I said.

"Okay, beautiful. Take care. Goodbye." He kissed my lips and left. I went back inside my house and slept.

I woke up the following morning and made a doctor's appointment. After the university, I went to the obstetrician.

I went to the hospital and waited for the doctor. I was excited. The nurse called me. The doctor told me to lie down.

"Look, it's your baby," she said, pointing to the screen. He or she was tiny.

"My baby," I murmured. I was very emotional.

"Yes. Your baby is healthy. You're one and a half months pregnant."

After, the doctor gave me some information about pregnancy.

I exited the hospital and sat in my car. I was looking at my baby's ultrasound picture. I placed my hand on my stomach and rubbed it, my baby.

Three weeks later

I haven't told Chase that I'm pregnant. Before I do, I want to be sure he loves me.

Everything was great between us, so I decided that I am going to tell him that we are having a baby. I can't hide our baby from him anymore.

I woke up in the morning, feeling nausea. I got up and rushed to the bathroom. After throwing up, I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I changed my clothes afterward.

I looked at myself in the mirror and noticed my stomach. It was visible by now that I was pregnant.

I rubbed my stomach as excitement rushed through my body.

I had graduated from the university and was working with my father. He offered me to work at our company but first told me to rest for a few months.

My phone rang; it was Chase. I picked up my phone. After talking, I went down to have breakfast.

I called Chase in the evening. He told me he was working and was leaving late today, so I decided to surprise him.

I was going to his company. I'm going to tell him that I'm pregnant. I got ready and left.

I stopped at a restaurant on the way to his company and bought dinner.

When I arrived at the holding, I felt someone following me. I looked behind me, but there was no one.

I entered the company. There were not many people in the holding. A few people were already leaving. I went towards his office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." I opened the door and went in. As I walked in, he smiled at me. He stood up and walked towards me.

I placed our dinner on the center table he had in his office. "I missed you," I told him truthfully after he had kissed me.

"I missed you too, beautiful. I have a lot of work today. We won't be able to meet up. But if you hadn't come, I would have gone to your house after finishing here," he said and winked at me as he sent me a devilish smile.

"You must be hungry. I bought something to eat."

"Yeah, I didn't eat anything in the evening. You're very thoughtful, as always."

He kissed my lips passionately once more. Then, we sat down.

I watched him while he worked. He was very handsome in his suit. He ran his fingers through his hair. He was still looking at the paperwork on the desk.

I placed my hand on my stomach. I wanted our baby to look like Chase. I wanted him or her to have brown hair, brown eyes, an impressive smile, and a mesmerizing gaze, just like his father. I wanted him to be handsome and charismatic as well like his father.

I didn't know the gender of our baby yet, but I had a feeling that we were going to have a boy.

"Are you enjoying the view?" he asked.

I quickly pulled my hand away from my stomach; I hoped he hadn't noticed. When I looked at him, he was looking at the paperwork in front of him. I breathed deeply. There was a mischievous grin on his face.

"Very much," I said while grinning.

He closed the file he was looking at and looked at me. There was passion in his eyes. He bit his lower lip while looking at me. Was the room getting hot? He stood up and walked towards me. He gave me his hand.

"I'm done. Come on. Let's eat." He trailed his fingertip down my cheek to my neck. "Maybe we'll do something fun." He winked at me.

Chase sat in the armchair. I sat on the couch. We started eating. I was super hungry.

He looked at me with a grin. "I'm hungry," I said innocently, shrugging my shoulders; he smiled.

When we finished our meals, he offered me his hand. I took it.

"Stand up," he said, leaning back against the armchair.

He held my hand and pulled me down to his lap. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me towards his chest. I placed my hands on his shoulders while he kissed my lips. He trailed his lips down to my neck, leaving soft kisses.

"Chase...I need to tell you...something."
