Hailey's POV:
I'm pregnant!
No! Yes! No. No! Yes! Yes
I'm pregnant Again.
After taking the pregnancy test it was confirmed that I was pregnant again.
"A blessing will always come and takes the pain away".
Oh God this baby is indeed a blessing in this situation.
Now who should I tell first?
Definitely Chase.
The smile was plastered on my face and I ran back to Chase room. The
people present in the hospital glanced at me weirdly when they saw me
smiling ear to ear. The nurses passed me on my way to his room and
looked at me like they know I have finally lost my mind.
It wasn't their fault; they have been seeing me gloomy and sand for
past week so now sudden change is definitely weird for them.
Finally, I reached outside his room and contemplated if telling him is
right or not. Will he respond to this news? Will he hear me?
He'll be happy to know that we're having another baby again. I took
the shaky breath and went inside his room. Taking the slow steps
towards his bed I picked up his hand in mine and kissed it.
Slowly, I leaned down to the level of his ear.
"I just found out few minutes ago that I'm pregnant again and you're
going to be a father of another boy or girl. You have successfully
knocked me up again, Chase Edward. Now what I am trying to tell you is
that I am really excited and I want you to meet your baby. So please
wake up soon or just do something to show me that you have heard me".
I whispered in his ear.
When I finished my rant he was still the same, no twitch, nothing to
show me that he heard me.
The disappointment started seeping in me making my heart drop in the
pit of my stomach.
He have to be happy, it was what he wanted. He can't abandon the three
of us like nothing matters.
Tears rolled down my face and I wiped them with the determination to
make him realize that he have to come back, he just can't lay here
motionless.
I picked my shirt little up and placed his cold hand on my bare stomach.
"Feel it, Chase. It is our baby. He needs his dad in his life. Noah
didn't get to experience the love of his dad in his early times.
You...you can't be this selfish to do the same with this baby....
Chase you have to wake up. Damn it! You have to wake up. Do you hear
me? I asked him while crying.
Suddenly, I felt his hand lightly moving on my stomach.
I was shocked and for a moment I thought that I imagined it. But his
hand moved again.
Oh God! He heard me.
Suddenly, the room was filled with the loud beeping noise coming from
the heart monitor. I become worried and called for a nurse.
The nurses and doctors came running and stared checking Chase. I was
watching everything silently. The scrambling nurses from here to there
and doctors shouting orders.
One nurse saw me standing and pushed me out of the room and closed the
door. My body started shaking so I fell on the nearest chair and
taking out my phone from my jeans pocket I called Cameron.
"Cam... Chase...something is not right". I stuttered and it was enough
for him to know that I need him.
Fifteen minutes later the whole Edward family came to hospital and
waited for doctors to emerge out from Chase room. I was so shocked and
scared. Internally, I started blaming myself for his worse condition.
If something happened to him just because you pressured him by yelling
that he has to wake up. How will you forgive yourself? You're
responsible for stressing him with your rant.
These thoughts started making me sick and I feel nausea approaching
again. I got up from the chair making everyone's attention turn on me
and puked in the nearest dumpster.
Allison and Cameron came running towards me while I was busy in throwing up.
The tears were running down my face uncontrollably and my throat felt raw.
I turned around when I was finished throwing up and glanced at their
worried faces.
"You look very pale, Hailey". She said to me touching my cheek lightly.
Before I could reply her I felt my body getting limp like there was no
energy left in my body. My head felt heavy and everything was spinning
around. My eyes rolled back in my head and I fell down on the floor.
I heard Cameron and Allison shouting, others also coming to my aid
surrounding me. With my half open lids I saw their extremely worried
and confuse faces staring at me.
Cameron picked me up in bridal style calling a nurse but I was losing
consciousness.
Finally, I closed my eyes escaping from all the pain my sensitive
heart had been in for weeks.
Next, when I woke up I found myself in the white hospital room, tubes
were attached to me. The window in my room showed that it was evening
which means I had been out for hours.
My head felt better and my body wasn't drowsy and weak any more so I
got up and pulled the tubes off.
There was no one in my room. I was alone. Maybe everyone is with Chase.
"Chase... I want to see him. I want to know how he is now". With these
thoughts I walked out of the room.
When I reached outside his door. I heard the noises of laugh coming
out from the room.
I pushed open the door and found Cameron, Chase mom and dad, Allison
her husband and Noah surrounded by bed.
When they saw me standing frozen on the door, they stopped talking and
stared at me.
"Hailey are you alright? Cameron asked me.
I didn't hear him my eyes were stuck on Chase. I was not even blinking
just starting at him and thinking that maybe I was still dreaming.
"Cam is he?" I stuttered. I tried completing the sentence but at that
moment it was the most difficult thing to do.
Good thing is Cameron understood what I wanted to say.
"Yes. Hailey, he's perfectly fine. He has been awake for three hours
now. The risk of surgery we took went successful but...."
"But? I asked him.
Cameron suddenly took my arm and dragged me towards Chase bed. He was
just staring at me plainly there was no expression on his face, no
happiness like he doesn't recognize me.
Oh God! He forgot everything.
"Who's she ?". Chase questioned to Cameron making my suspicion turn
into believe.
He...he forgot everything about you, Hailey. He...don't remember
you...you're the unluckiest woman in the world...your husband forgot
you.
I stumbled back little in the sock, feeling beyond broken.
I should remind him...he'll surely remember me...it's just his brain
messing around with him.
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. My throat
felt clogged with the emotions and my mind felt numb. I couldn't stay
here and let him look at me like I am a stranger.
I turned to leave the room when his words stopped me.
"My Princess". He said.
Completely stunned I turned to face him.
He was the only one who calls me princess. Oh God it...it means he remembers me.
"Come give me a hug or kiss. I don't mind if you give me both". He
said winking. My breath hitched.
"You...you remember me?" I asked him confused.
"Yes. I remember you... You're not someone who can be forgotten
easily, Hailey.... I was just messing with you". He said smiling like
he just didn't turn my world upside down few seconds ago by his stupid
prank.
I stride towards him and punched him on the stomach, hard.
"Ouch! Woman! Don't hit me I just woke up from the death bed". He said
with the teasing smile playing on his face.
"Whatever... I don't care... you...you played a prank on me...on your
wife who has been hell of a worried about you". I said angrily.
He got up and walked to me.
"I know that was a shity prank and I'm sorry..." He said giving me his
puppy dog eyes.
"I know you're not sorry". I said glaring at him.
"You know me too well... can I calm you with my magical kiss". He
asked me, giving his sweet smile and it melted my anger.
"You can try". I said with the small smile.
He didn't need any more encouragement to plant his lips on mine.
His minty breath and feel of his lips on mine made me feel like I'm
home after a long tiresome vacation. Placing his hands on my waist he
pulled me closer to his body and deepens the kiss, blowing my mind and
numbing the pain and stress. His kisses are my very own sedatives.
When we pulled away from the kiss I looked around the empty room.
"Where's everyone? I asked him.
"They left us when I kissed you to give us some privacy". He replied
pulling me closer to his body.
"Chase I'm pregnant". I told him.
"I know... I heard...your pain filled voice, felt your skin under my
palm. It made me fight... your voice pulled me out from the abyss I
was in... The news of the baby was a light for my empty mind. You're
my life, Hailey. But from now on you own my life". He said kissing my
head.
"It's going to be a boy". Chase said.
"Really? How you're so sure?" I asked him.
"Well I just know father's instinct you know". He said shrugging his shoulder.
"Oh... If it's a girl then what will you do?" I asked.
"We'll see whose right in the near future". Chase said moving away and
dragging me towards his bed.
"What are you doing?" I asked him baffled at his actions.
"I'm tired and I have been up for three hours waiting for you". He
said pushing me on the bed and pulling a sheet over me.
Then he moved to the other side and slid beside me in the bed.
"Isn't the bed too small to accommodate two people? I asked pressing
myself to him.
"It is small. But I don't mind if you are pressed up to my side". He
said pulling me more close to his body.
I bit my lip to stop the smile that was threatening to appear,
adjusting my head above his chest I sighed hearing rhythmic beating of
his heart.
"Sleep". He lightly murmured in my ear.
After the stressful weeks and many sleepless nights I fell asleep with
the widest smile on my face beside my husband, my first and only love.

After five years >>>>
Hailey POV :
I was in the kitchen preparing a breakfast when I heard the loud angry
footsteps coming downstairs.
"Mom! Do you know where's is my football ? I kept it near my bed last
night. Today I have a practice and it's missing". Noah frantically
said.
Turning around from the stove I walked towards him and asked "Did you
check under the bed?".
"Yes mom. I have checked all the possible places". He answered me in
an upset voice.
"Well. Then I think you know where it could be". I said.
When the realization dawned on him, he groaned and started walking in
the direction of Brandon room.
I pulled him back and said "Noah honey. You know, you were the one who
demanded a brother. Now deal with it". Giving him a teasing smile.
"Mom. I know don't remind me again please. I should have known from
the start that he's the little thief in our home. I could have saved
fifteen minutes which I wasted to find that football". He said
groaning and I laughed at his misery.
"My poor baby". I coed him .
"You have to be polite with him, especially today when it's his first
day in kindergarten". I said placing a kiss on Noah's both cheeks.
Then he went to Brandon room and I got busy in making breakfast.
After I was done setting breakfast I leaned on the kitchen counter and
stared at space. Waiting for them to come and join me for breakfast.
Suddenly my mind started wondering that how fast time flies, it still
seems like yesterday when Brandon born. My cute little baby brought an
extreme happiness in my life.
When doctors satisfied us that Chase health is fine we moved back to
Oakland for my college. During the pregnancy Chase took care of me
despite being drowned in his business.
When my mood swings won't let me study, he would cheer me up. He was
like my hard rock where I could lean on for support. Handling college
and pregnancy in the same time was pretty difficult. But I went
through it with the help of my husband. Melanie and my caring friends
also helped me as much as they could with their busy life.
I was five months pregnant that time when we moved to Boston and I
completed my graduation there.
Chase took me to visit his beautiful apartment in Boston and I fell in
love with the place. Because of the mountains and the wast garden
surrounds a large area giving a mystical look to the place. He wanted
to buy a house again but I persuaded him to live in the apartment.
Brandon was born in the end of summer in Boston hospital. My parents
and Chase parents came to visit us when he was born.
Then after a month Allison with her husband and with her children came
for vacations. Cameron and his fiancee Bianca also joined us after a
week.
All of us went crazy by always going out visiting different places and
doing nonstop shopping. We were pretty sure that our husbands are
going to be broke at the end of the week if keep the pace we're using
their money. But they surprisingly assured us that we can do whatever
we want.
Brandon turned five last month and starting a kindergarten today. He's
pretty excited for starting school.
Brandon is my little bundle of mischief. His innocent face melts our
hearts and he always getaway from anything by pulling this trick.
Chase don't possess the ability to say no to Brandon. And also he have
done a pretty good job in spoiling this one. He have done everything
extreme for Brandon maybe because of the guilt that he wasn't there
for Noah in his early age.
Noah will be turning eight next weeks. His favorite sport football
have turned into his obsession which is now rubbing of on Brandon as
well. Chase thinks it's fine and encouraged Noah in joining school
football team.
And he's doing pretty good in his studies as a student of second
standard and tackling his tough football training. I just wish every
day my both son will get success in whatever they wish.
I felt a hand creeping on my waist and then a kiss on my neck making
my knees wobble.
Turning around to face him I said "Chase what are you doing?. You know
kids are up and they're going to come downstairs any minute".
"I still have a time to steal few kisses". He said and captured my
lips with his own.
After six years in our remarriage, I still feel my knees weaken every
time he kisses me. His kisses always sparks an exhilarating sensation
of desire in my body.
Our lips were moving in sync reminding me all the happy moments of my
life with chase .
My hands was resting on his chest just above his beating heart while
his hand was curled around my waist to support me. We were so lost in
our kiss that we didn't hear anyone entering in the kitchen.
"Daddy why are you biting mommy?". Brandon asked.
Chase lips froze on mine and his eyes popped open gazing in mine
horrifically. I pulled away breathing hard and rested my head on Chase
shoulder to ease my breathing and recover from the mind-numbing kiss.
The way Brandon was staring at us I felt like we're caught kissing
red-handed by my dad.
We never kisses in front of our kids. Not on the lips at least.
Because of our mutual decision that it's not appropriate time to
burden them with this information yet. They'll know everything
eventually but right now their little curious minds can lead them
anywhere.
If it was Noah who catches us, explaining to him will relatively easy
than Brandon. I was running my mind on how to explain a five-year-old
kid that what we were doing is called kiss.
"Uh... Brandon come to daddy". Chase said and Brandon came running.
Chase picked him up in his arms and asked "Are you excited for school?".
"Yup". He replied eagerly nodding his up and down.
"Good. Then let's have breakfast". Chase said setting him on the chair.
I sighed thinking that he forget which is almost impossible. Because
he have this annoying habit to not stop asking a question until he
gets the answer. I think Chase way of distracting him worked.
I took the seat and started serving Chase and Brandon their breakfast.
Then Brandon stared at me with the scrutinizing gaze and asked "Mommy
your lips are bigger. Daddy why did you bit mommy?".
Oh shit, oh shit. Apparently the Chase plan of distracting him is
doomed. Argh! Why'd he have to ask everything? I thought.
"Uhh Brandon I was kissing your mother". Chase said and I glared at
him, like really that's your way of handling this situation.
"Kissing. Daddy we kiss on the cheek?". Brandon giggled and told him
like it's the most important knowledge that Chase lacking.
"Uhm.... Brandon this kiss only happens between mommy and daddy".
Chase said looking pretty distress himself because of explaining this.
My glare was intensified ten folds because unknowingly he just have
raised another question in Brandon's mind.
"Why it only happens between mommy and daddy?". He asked looking
confuse and then curious.
I was ready to interfere and shut them both up by saying eat with
their mouth close when Chase replied " Because it's a way to show
love. And I love your mommy".
"I love mommy too". Brandon said with the broad grin on his face. And
finally shut up, quietly eating his breakfast.
Noah came and hurriedly eat the sandwiches. I stuffed their lunch
boxes and pack of juices in their bags.
First we dropped Noah to his school and then Brandon because his
classes starts little late .
After biding Brandon goodbye he went inside his class with the
teacher. I was happy that we didn't need to force him to go inside the
class like other parents were doing to their kids while they were
crying and clutching their parents leg.
When I was buckled inside the car Chase asked me " Ready to go hospital?".
I swallowed and said " I don't know".
He didn't replied because he knows what I'm feeling right now. I'm
utterly confuse right now. For few weeks I have been feeling nausea
and light-headed so as a precaution I took the two pregnancy test. One
came positive and the other came negative, confusing the hell out of
me. So I repeated the tests with two different kits and again same
thing happened, making me beyond furious.
Chase suggested that I should confirm it by taking a proper medical
test so here we're going to see a doctor and to receive the report of
test I took yesterday.
We were waiting for nurses to call my name but there's like long line
of expecting parents.
Finally, after half an hour more, they called my name. We both went
inside the doctors room.
"Hello. Please take a seat". A lady doctor said.
"Hi. I'm Hailey Edwards and this my husband. Do you have my reports?".
I asked her while she was reading something probably my report.
"Yes and it seems congratulations in order. You're expecting". She
said with the big smile on her face.
I smiled and Chase squeezed my hand.
"Is there anything to worry? I mean her reports are fine right?".
Chase asked the doctor.
" Yes sir. There's nothing to worry. She's perfectly finally. Well
your wife history shows that she gets sever case of nausea in every
pregnancy so I'm writing down some medicines. I suggest use the herbal
tea in early weeks". The doctor said giving us the prescription paper.
We thanked the doctor and came out. When we reached to the parking lot
Chase suddenly hugged me and I saw his eyes glazed with tears.
"What's the matter Chase?". I asked him cupping his face.
"Nothing I'm just happy that I lived that day or I would have
definitely missed this beautiful life with you and my sons. Now with
my daughter". He said with the thick voice due to emotions.
"Uh huh... You look to sure that it's a girl this time". I asked him,
a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes... I'm sure.". He answered me. I rolled my eyes at his confidence.
"I hope so. Because I'm seriously sick talking about football with you
guys. I think I'm turning into a man". I said pouting.
Chase laughed loudly throwing his head back and said "You're pretty
funny Hailey. I can assure you that you are a perfect beautiful woman
from inside. And no one knows that better than me".
"You're always talking about things like that. Pervert". I said
pushing his shoulder and getting inside the car.
"You know pushing me away is your first sign of mood swing ". He said
buckling himself in the driving seat.
"Whatever". I replied staring out from the window.
When we arrived at the house Chase lazily landed on the couch and
snatched my hand making me sit on his lap.
"Chase are you not getting late for office?". I asked him confuse.
"No. I'm taking a day off today. We're going to celebrate a good
news". He said and kissed me on my forehead.
His this sweet little things literally increases my love for him. He
enjoys spending time with me and our kids, he never looks bore from us
and he forces us to celebrate small things.
Even he celebrated the day when Noah got A+ grade in his drawing class
and when Brandon first started walking. Chase is just a very lovely
husband and a friendly father.
He was playing with the strand of my hair and I was just staring at him.
"What are you thinking Hailey?". He asked me.
"Uh.nothing". I said making him roll his eyes on my silly answer.
"So we have like two hours before we need to pick Brandon. What do you
want to do?". He asked me.
"I don't know". I replied with the shrug.
"Ah huh... I know. We can do something which include us being in our
bedroom bare between sheets". He said wiggling his eyebrows.
I glared at him and said " Chase you're such a man".
"No one knows that better than you". He replied making me groan.
"Now Missy don't groan like that because you know it turns me on". He
said with the teasing smile.
"Shut up". I said punching him on the arm . Then I leaned towards his
lips when the cell phone started ringing loudly, ruining the mood.
He picked it up and talked like three minutes then ended the call.
"What ?". I asked him looking his worried face.
" It was Brandon teacher. She asked us to come and pick him". He said
picking his car keys.
We locked the house and ran towards the car. After fifteen minutes of
drive we reached outside Brandon school.
We walked inside the school and went straight to Brandon class, where
her teacher took us in a different room.
"What's the matter? Is Brandon alright? ".I asked her, concerned.
"Brandon is alright. He just did something which created a riot in the
class". She said looking disturb.
At her words my heart dropped "What?".
"He kissed a girl ". She said making me frown.
"He did what?". I asked her, unbelievably.
"He kissed a girl on the lips. A girl name Laura was sitting beside
him and he kissed her. She started crying and we had to call her
parents to calm her down". The teacher said looking flustered herself.
I felt dizzy after hearing her and held Chase hand.
"Take him home explain him politely that what he did was wrong". The
teacher said dismissing us.
"Chase I'm hell of an angry at you right now. You know how hurriedly
he learn things". I said scolding at Chase.
"Hailey...it's pretty funny". He said smiling at me and I gave him a
death glare in return. The smile disappeared from his face in a flash.
Brandon came to us carrying his bag.
"Daddy why are they sending me back?". He asked us innocently.
"Um...because you're too intelligent and they want you to go home
enjoy rest of the day". Chase replied coolly picking him in his arms.
I felt the extreme urge of throttling Chase at his stupid explanation.
We went back to car and settled in our seats.
Chase asked Brandon " Son. What you did in your class today".
"I made some friends and played a piano". He answered very efficiently
hiding the kiss part.
"And ?". Chase said glancing back from the side mirror of the car.
"Daddy! Laura is my new friend. She's shoo pretty. I love her and
kissed her like you did to mommy". He said excitedly like we're going
to appreciate him.
My face exploded with blush at his innocent words. He have no idea
what he did today and now he's telling us proudly.
"Brandon what did daddy told you in the morning that kiss only happens
between mommy and daddy. You are not allowed to that anywhere you
understand me Brandon". I said sternly making him sad.
The smile vanished from his face and he curled his lips inside
stopping himself from crying.
To change the sad mood in the car Chase asked " Who wants ice cream?".
But Brandon didn't replied making me worry. Ice cream is his favorite,
he would never let go the chance of having ice cream now he's refusing
it.
Chase stopped outside the Brandon favorite ice cream parlor and
getting out from the car he pulled him out. Brandon hugged Chase and
when I came to him he hid his face in Chase neck.
I felt a pang of hurt in my chest.
Chase saw my gloomy face and said " Brandon baby. Look at your mommy ".
"No she was mean with me". He replied snuggling his face more.
"No baby she was just telling you not to do that again" . Chase said.
"Okay I will not do that again but I'm not talking to her" . He said
picking his face from Chase shoulder and glancing .
"Well that's bad. Because your mommy have a surprise for you". Chase
said whistling. Brandon jump from his arms and came running to me.
"Mommy! Where's surprise?". He said jumping up and down curiously.
I pretended to think than said "First we need to eat ice cream than
I'll give you your surprise".
That's how our rest of the day went shopping new toys for Brandon and
playing with him.
