Two
After the Fellogans leave her room, Loraine sits up in her chair.
She understands that this can no longer continue, Aziel is very observant and will sooner or later find out that she is being harassed by these two. Elena doesn't seem over the betrayal of her husband with Loraine yet, while Dordrich seizes every opportunity to persuade the latter to start a relationship again.
Dordrich is indeed still terribly handsome, despite the years that have scarred him physically. But Loraine now loves Aziel unconditionally, she has no intention of leaving or cheating on him. In addition, she’s sure to carry Aziel's child. This time she wants to walk the right path and give her children the security of a complete family. She strokes her slightly bulging stomach, dreaming about the moment when she will hold another baby in her arms, this time from the man of her dreams.
She takes her phone and calls Kaylah. Kaylah is also pregnant for the second time and with twins. This one picks up right away. “Loraine, what's up? I'm in a meeting right now, but we weren't supposed to meet until next week. Is there something going on?". Loraine can't contain herself anymore. “Kaylah, I think I'm pregnant. Which hospital do you recommend me? I want to go there with Aziel this afternoon," she whispers. A suppressed cheer is heard on the other end of the line. “Really, Loraine? Aziel will go crazy with happiness. I can't believe my ears!", she responds with restrained joy. “Wait, I'll make the appointment for you and send you a text with the details. But call me as soon as you get back from the doctor.”
After a few minutes, the text arrives with the appointment confirmation. Loraine is now calling Aziel. “Honey, are you free this afternoon? We can go to the doctor if you have time. Kaylah has already made the arrangements at the hospital.” An unusual silence on the other side, but then she hears her beloved voice. “Of course, babe, I'll rearrange my schedule. Send me the details, I'll pick you up from work," he lets her know with joy in his voice. “I'm so glad we're finally doing it. I couldn't take the wait anymore. See you later, my heart.”
Loraine smiles happily to herself. She knows that Aziel is on cloud nine with this. But his voice didn't really sound like it used to, it's like something is on his mind. She decides to wait for him to pick her up and ask him about it. What is certain is that Aziel is not at all worried about their expanding family.
Aziel arrives punctually. He walks into her office with a fruit drink that he puts in her hand. He also has one for himself. “Honey, drink this before we leave. You can’t have a heavy meal now because the X-rays will not do well. But our baby should not go hungry.” She looks at him strangely. “Where did you get that from? I thought this was your first child," she teases him. He stiffens a bit but then exhales. “Google, love. I did some research online, so I know a bit about pregnancies now.”
In a good mood, they leave the Fellogan building in a lovely embrace. Little do they know that from a distance Dordrich watches wistfully as his beloved woman runs off in love with another. After the couple is out of sight, Dordrich picks up his phone and has an important conversation.
Aziel and Loraine report to the hospital counter and are immediately escorted to a doctor's room. A friendly gynecologist with reading glasses on his nose meets them at the door. “Hi, I am Doctor Bhagwanpersad. I also treat Kaylah who referred you to me.” They shake hands and then disinfect them right away.
After everyone is seated, the doctor begins to ask some personal questions, which are promptly answered by Loraine. Aziel sits close to her with one arm around her chair, very focused on the interaction. He wants to be informed about the best nutrition and is given a list of the necessary products that Loraine should have on a weekly basis.
And when it's time for the x-rays, Aziel can hardly calm his nerves. Ecstatic rubbing Loraine's back, they walk to the treatment room, where she is instructed to lie on a bed with her dress up. Aziel helps cover her while the doctor fixes the equipment. “Loraine, this is our moment. I love you, my wife. You make me so happy with this”, he whispers to her. The doctor places a gel over her abdomen. Aziel's eyes are fixed on the screen. When the bean-shaped baby is on display, they hold their breath.
“Miss Windrug, you are already eleven weeks pregnant”, the doctor says in surprise. “I thought you said six weeks”. Aziel and Loraine stare at each other in surprise. This means that they had made their baby in the first weeks they were together. "Eleven weeks, doctor?! Are you sure?". The doctor shows her the digital calculation on the monitor. “Yes, almost twelve. See for yourself".
And when he moves the scan, a second surprise awaits them. The bean appears to have a shadow. “Miss Windrug, Mr. Renegade, do you see what I see?” the doctor asks teasingly. The two blink their eyes, but can't figure out what the doctor is pointing to. The man increases the volume of the heart rate at the device. Then they hear two different sounds.
Tears well up from Loraine's eyes at the realization of what this means. She grips Aziel's arm tightly as she swallows. "The Twins! Loraine, we have twins! God is Almighty!”, Aziel sounds deeply emotional. He picks up Loraine and kisses her forehead and cheeks. "Woman! My gratitude is infinite. I love you so much, I promise to make you happy forever, you and our children”.
The two hug tightly as the doctor quietly walks away to give them some privacy. These are his favorite moments when parents look forward to the arrival of their new arrival and love each other for it...
