Chapter 115

The next morning Triffany woke up and saw Carlos by her side, she lay on his arms like it was a pillow and his hand were cuddling her, she looks up at the face of her handsome husband who was still asleep.

After having dinner last night, we didn't have any other discussion, he had taken his bath and lay on the bed, even when she wanted to say something, he had told her that she looks tired and that they will talk in the morning.

She leans closer to the warm arm of her husband, she also didn't tell him about her pregnancy last night, she wishes everything will go back to normal, she wishes everything will go back to when she did not meet Jimmy.

If Jimmy had not come back then all these things wouldn't have happened, then she would still be happy with Carlos, she doesn't even know what Carlos was thinking anymore, but she also knows he won't stay still.

She was about to sob when she pressed her lips together to stop herself from crying if she does Carlos will hear her, he had told her to forget everything, but how can she act as nothing had happened, this will all be a clash.

Triffany gently moves to get up but, her little movement seem to awake Carlos, he made a little move and open his eyes as she closed her eyes immediately, not knowing that he had already noticed she was awake.

Carlos kissed her lips and she opens her eyes. "Morning Triff." He said sexily, calling her as he had done, has he decided to forget everything that happened yesterday and act normal.

Triffany smile wearily. "Good morning Carlos." Carlos pulls her closer to himself and lays by his side, he gently caresses her cheek and tug a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and kissed her lips again.

"You look beautiful Triffany, but you look so weak and your body temperature is a bit high, we need to see a doctor." He said softly and Triffany shook her head.

"I am fine, I am just pr..." she was about to say something when Carlos phone rang and she stopped. "You should pick your call." He told her and stretched his hands, he picked up his ringing phone and got up, he walked over to the balcony to take the call.

Triffany exhaled softly, she sat up and look through the glass and saw the expression on Carlos's face as he answered the call, speaking what she was not able to hear from her, she got up and walked to the bathroom, it sure isn't the right time to tell him about it.

Triffany took her bath and stepped out with her towel, drying off her hair, she looked at the balcony and Carlos was no longer there, she wonders where he went, she looked at the mirror and stare at her face.

Of a truth, she looks pale and she also felt a bit tired, she gently applies the cream on her body and face, wore a pink dress, pink was one of the colours she hates, they said it was a girls favourites colour but, she prefers red or yellow, but she was too sad to wear any of those.

Triffany brushes her hair and left the room, still wondering where Carlos was if he was not in the room. She came down to the living room and was greeted by Gabby who was going through her phone like nothing happened last night.

Triffany walked over to her and Gabby put her phone down. "Wow, Triffany you look good on that dress." Gabby made a little demonstration, pointing at Triffany up to down.

"This isn't one of my favourites." Triffany sat next to Gabby and look around. "Did you perhaps know where Carlos went to?" Triffany asked her, knowing that Carlos had not taken his bath or gotten dressed for work.

"Oh, that! He is talking to his friends in his study room." Gabby paused. "Let’s have our breakfast, when they are done they will have it there." Now Triffany wonders what Carlos was discussing with his friends and he had not to wait for her or told her about it.

Gabby seems to know what she was doing and took Tiffany's hands-on hers and gave Triffany a gentle smile. "You don't have to worry about it Triffany, so just let Carlos do what do best." Gabby's smile seems to make Triffany wonder why they were all acting normal, what was the big plan.

"Let me go tell the maid to prepare for breakfast." Gabby paused. "What will you want to eat?" She asked, she still remember how Triffany covered her nose to the breakfast she was having.

"I will take anything, but they should avoid using egg, and no fried eggs too," Triffany said and Gabby smile, now Triffany was also being picky, she nods and left the dining.

Triffany looked in the direction leading to Carlos study room, he rarely stays there and also, she had noticed he only talks to his friends in the living room or outside the garden, this might be about Jimmy.

Sure enough, as Gabby had said Carlos will do what he does best, and it made her wonder what it was, also Jimmy's word about her not knowing her husband so well came to her mind, she closed her eyes and rub her forehead.

First was Tommy and now Jimmy, but Jimmy was different from Tommy, what happened three years ago was something she felt was her fault and damn yes, Jimmy has the right to act this way.

Carlos came out of the study room, his hand in his pocket and his friends behind him, they walked over to the dinning. "Good thing I told the maid to also st breakfast for you all." Gabby said softly as she sat down.

"Wow! This is my favourite." Eric sat next to Gabby rubbing his palm together at the sight of the awesome meal at his front.

"Hello Triffany." Garrett greeted and sat next to Carlos, Triffany made a little bow with her head and flash him a quick smile before turning to Carlos, with the what-is-going-on look, while Carlos held her hand and kiss it.

"Blake why aren't you taking a seat ?" Gabby asked Blake who just stood by the table.

"I won't be joining you all for breakfast, I have something to go take care of." Blake turned to Carlos who have him a little nod and he left with Gabby and Triffany looking at the exit, they turn back to Carlos who had started eating his breakfast.

"Eat up Triffany, the doctor will be here in few hours." Carlos told her Triffany lifts the corner of her eyebrows as she looked at him with a puzzled gaze. "You don't look too good." Carlos said again and this time Gabby and the rest look at her face.

"I also noticed it." Gabby added. "You look pale." Triffany pressed her lips together, of course she ought to look pale, she doesn't understand why they were all acting like nothing happened, and what did Carlos discuss with his friends in the study room, what was he planning, whereas she was pregnant.

"I am fine." Triffany said softly, looking down at the meal since they were all staring at her.

"The doctor will confirm that." Carlos put some extra food in her plate and some vegetables. "Eat up." He said seriously this time and Triffany had no other choice but to do as she was told.

...

After breakfast, Carlos and Triffany went upstairs and she turned to him. "Carlos can we talk?" Her word made him pause for a while.

"I need to take a shower Triffany." He took off his shirt and picked up his towel to head to the bathroom.

"Why do I feel that you are trying to avoid it, Carlos i really need to tell you the truth about the connections I have with Jimmy." Carlos put down his towel and walked over to her, he held her around her waist and looked at him, his eyes hold so much emotion she could not explain.

"Triff. Any past you have with Jimmy is not important to me, what is important is our future together, a future with you, so whatever happened in the past will not affect our marriage, I love you and will keep loving you, so all I want you to do is love me like you do." His eyes were staring right into her.

Triffany embrace him with her eyes close, she would have cried at this moment but she held it in, truly, since all this shouldn't matter, just as he said, what was important is their future together. "You are going to a father soon Carlos." She muttered softly and Carlos stills.

She looked up to his face and he look down at her. "I am pregnant with our baby." Tears rolled down Triffany’s cheek and Carlos lips parted, he was shocked.

"You are..." Carlos blink, as the he couldn't find his voice. "I am going to be a dad." He embrace Triffany so close to his chest, too happy that he almost suffocated her.

"Carlos I can't breathe." Triffany said softly and he immediately refrained.

"What? Are you hurt somewhere?" He asked, his eyes scanning her.

Triffany shook her head. "No, you hugged me so tight, that was the reason." She said with a smile and Carlos smile and kiss her lips, so soft at first and then he gave her a deep kiss.

"Am going to be a father." He embrace her again with a goofy smile on his lips. He lifts her up from her feet and took her to bed. "Was this why you look tired and pale?" He asked her as he lay next to her.

She nod, acting little shy. "I told you, I don't need to see a doctor." She saw the smile on Carlos face, it is so nice to see him smile like this again.

Carlos gently caress her cheek. "No we have to focus on the baby Triffany, I should take a nine months break from work just to take care of you, and we should move downstairs, else it will be so much stress climbing up and down the stairs, we have to make you a healthy food menu and..." Triffany chuckled as he kept making his list, he was so excited that it makes her cry.
