Chapter 60 Chapter 60 - The Announcement

I reported at TvN8 Station for being absent without leave.
"We miss you so much, Eve!" Lara announced.
"Your fans have been looking for you. They have different speculations. But of course, your prince charming is always to the rescue." Site declared openly.
"Sir Nikolai was devastated when you disappeared. Do not abandon him ever again" King joked.
"It is embarrassing for him and his family. I am also sorry for leaving Love Hotline without notice.
I want to apologize to Director Luis and Ms. Beth!" I mumbled softly.
"Just relax, Eve! Sir Nikolai acted about it. Nothing has changed. Sir Nikolai still loves you dearly. He said that you need to rest and that was the reason for your absence." Ella clarified.
"Hey! Are you not going to let out what is in a nutshell?" Lara said almost in a whisper.
"It is pretty obvious now. Yes, I am pregnant." and I stroked my belly.
"Oh my gosh! We are all excited for you and Sir Nikolai." Sittie said excitedly.
I begged Nikolai that I would return to TvN8 Station. I can still work and I will just get bored at home. My pregnancy is not sensitive.
I do not experience morning sickness. He agreed because we are together every day. He also instructed me not to hide my pregnancy and answer all speculations honestly.
I missed them all. I miss TvN8 Station. I missed the Love Hotline.
"Eve, welcome back to Love Hotline!" Kisses have to welcome me even if it is against her will.
"Thank you so much, Kisses! It is nice to be back here at our show." I answered with a smile.
"So, are you ready to answer the netizen's question about your being missing in action?" Kisses begged.
Nicks told me that I should clarify everything with my fans, with the people. They would believe in whatever I tell them. For as long as I will tell them the truth.
"Well, nothing horrible came about to me. I just need to rest and give some time for myself." my simple answer.
"Why do you need time for yourself? Why do you need to rest? Are you sick?" Kisses inquired again.
"I am not sick. I guess people do not need to ask me about my condition. As you can see, I got a bigger belly." I giggled.
"Will you admit it in Love Hotline?" her meaningful question.
"For all my fans, for all my supporters, for my love ones, I am pregnant!" I confided.
I boldly admitted my condition on national television. I have never been ashamed of being a mother.
One more, for what else, and I will hide my pregnancy. My baby bump is obvious.
My belly is also three months old and I have a baby bump. Nicks also told me to confess to everyone and I have nothing to fear from the confession I will make.
The Love Hotline shoot ended. I feel a little worse.
"Are you okay, Eve?" Ella asked promptly.
"Ella, I am dizzy." my weak answer.
"Wait, I will call Sir Nikolai." and she picked up her phone.
Nikolai came quickly to check on me.
"Love, what happened?" he asked immediately.
"I am just feeling dizzy. I did not feel it much when I was pregnant with Nicka." I deciphered.
"Let us go to your obstetrician. So we can find out why." prompt suggestion by Nicks.
He immediately took me to my obstetrician for a check-up.
"So the tentative first trimester of your pregnancy is over. Dizziness and headaches are normal symptoms for three months pregnant.
Do not worry, nothing is wrong with Eve. Just make sure to keep on taking your vitamins and milk." My obstetrician explained.
"That is good to know! How about the baby?" Nicks implored instantly.
"There is no movement yet in three months of pregnancy but that does not mean that nothing is happening inside.
Individual toes and fingers are starting to form. The skeletal system, digestive, and muscles are developing too. The bone marrow is produced in white blood cells.
Hiccupping and thumb sucking inside might be coming about." she elucidated with a smile.
"Oh my! How I wish to see our baby the soonest." Nicks said happily too and he wielded my hand.
He was holding my hand as we got back in the car.
"There is Eve." I heard a nurse say.
"Yes, she is Ms. Eve!" and they moved toward us.
"So it is true that you are pregnant." said the other nurse.
"Excuse me, she is indeed not feeling well right now." Nicks declared openly.
"Oh my, Sir Nikolai! You are so handsome in person." the thrilled nurse mumbled.
They did not bother us anymore because Nicks is a VIP patient here so he also took me to his hospital.
I do not want commotion and chaos anymore. All I want is to go home and rest.
"Did you notice that no one tells me I am beautiful?" I asked Nicks when we were in the car.
"What? Me, I will say it. You are pretty as always!" said Nicks abruptly.
"They noticed you. You look handsome. Am I ugly? When I was pregnant with Nicka, I was lovely.
I never get tired of grooming myself. But now I am too lazy to make myself wonderful." I announced softly.
"You do not have to make yourself pretty, okay? You are lovely even if you do not have make-up!
You are impressive especially now that you are carrying our baby in your womb.
Just listen to me and do not listen to what other people would tell you. There are many changes in the body of a pregnant woman.
That does not matter to me! I love you!" Nicks' litany.
"It is as if you said that something has changed in me. Did I gain weight? Do I look ugly?" And I frowned.
"No, no, Love, listen to me, even if you get fat or disfigured and whatsoever, I will still love you!" and Nicks bussed me on the lips.
I can not understand myself. I was not that susceptible when I was pregnant with Nicka. It is probably mood swings.
Or let me say, I am acting like this because I know that I have someone to look after me.
It is nice to feel that Nicks is there to support me and take care of me during my pregnancy.
He took me to their mansion. We did not go back to TvN8 Station after our check-up.
"I guess, you better quit working in the meantime. Just come back after you gave birth." when Mommy Vina found out what had transpired.
"Love, mom is right. I prefer you to rest and do not stress yourself out because of your work.
You can still be with Nicka here. They will not remove you from the Love Hotline. Just take a leave so you can focus on your pregnancy." Nicks' reminder.
"On the first and the second month, I am not fussy. I do not know what happened and I am suddenly having a hard time with my pregnancy now." I let out sadly.
"You do not need to work. Just stay here and let me do the rest.
Take care of yourself, Nicka, and the baby in your womb." And Nicks caressed my face.
"Good day!" unexpectedly someone greeted.
The three of us looked at the person who came. My forehead frowned. What is she still doing here?
"Luna!" Mommy Vina's announcement.
"Hi, there Aunt! Nicko, Eve!" she greeted again.
"You would better have dinner here." Mommy Vina invited her.
"Really? Alright, I cannot say no to that. Wait? I have watched your segment.
So, it is true that you are pregnant? With whom?" Luna asked me insultingly.
"None other than Nicks. We are having our baby number two." I forced a smile.
"Baby number two? Nicka is not your..." she could not continue what she was going to say.
"Luna, yes, we are having a baby again. Happy now?" Nicks stopped her.
Luna was speechless. I told Nicks to bring me to the bedroom so I could lie down.
Daddy Ramon and Nicka are still swimming in the pool.
"Love, I want to talk to Luna. I will never forget what she did to you. She still likes you.
And I think it is wrong that she is still coming to your house." While I was lying down.
"Do not stress yourself out thinking about her. Please, I already talked to her and I will talk to her again so that she would know who are you to me." Nicks clarified.
"All I want is for you not to meet her." I squeezed his hand.
"She is my friend. Her boyfriend is my business partner. How can I just avoid her?" He pleaded.
"I am afraid she will repeat what she did to you." I let out.
"Trust me, Love! Trust me!" and he stroked my face.
"I, trust you! But I do not trust her. But go ahead, if you say so, I will trust you on this." I notified him.
I prefer to trust Nicks! I love him and I know he loves me too.
We are mature enough for me to be jealous of Luna.
She is in a relationship with Mr. Chin. Perhaps she also loves her boyfriend.
Nicks is just mine! And I will not allow another woman to just take him on me.
We are building a family! A complete family! A family that has a mother, a father, and children.
That is what I prefer to ensue!
I am excited for all of that to come about!
All we need to do is to plan for our marriage but he is not yet asking me to marry him.
