Chapter 69 Chapter 69 - Fritz's Pregnancy

"If that is the case, then, I will just abort this baby in my womb. After all, Eve did not abandon you.
She will come back anytime she wishes." Fritz stood up.
"What are you thinking?" Nikolai also stood up.
"If you do not like this baby, that is the best thing to do," Fritz answered back.
"You are a monster when you do that to the baby. The baby is already alive in your womb, why would you abort him?" Nikolai restrained Fritz's arm.
"Instead of treating me and my child junk, I am not going to proceed with my pregnancy.
Nikolai, you have all the proof. There is a Paternity DNA Test result and you can still think that this baby is not yours.
I will do the abortion and I will never show it to you ever again. Bid goodbye to your child that you rejected and you do not want to acknowledge." Fritz touched her belly.
"No, Fritz, you are not going to abort the baby." Nikolai halted her again.
"Can you take the life of an innocent child? What kind of mother are you?" Vina interrogated.
"My motherhood depends on being the father of this child of yours! This baby can not be formed if your son did not use me that night." Fritz retorted to Vina.
"This is enough! Fritz, you are not going to abort the baby. And Nikolai, fix this mess you made.
Talk to Fritz about what you want to happen. Hon, let us let them discuss this!
They are at the right age and they should act as mature persons for this matter." Lincoln furthermore stood up.
Vina and Lincoln left Fritz and Nikolai.
"I am willing to be Nicka's mother. And I am willing to continue my pregnancy just give me the chance, Nikolai.
You do not know me yet. Why don't you try to know me?" Fritz held Nikolai's hand.
"Do not you ever abort the baby? I will not forgive you when you do that.
Also, do not insist that you be Nicka's mommy because she has a mother.
I will take care of you while you are pregnant. That is all I can offer you." And Nikolai withdrew his hand.
"Because you still love Eve! Alright, I understand!
I have heard enough. You will not abandon your child with me." Fritz concurred.
Nikolai never thought he would be like this with a woman. He is respectful of women and he is also a gentleman.
But because of Fritz's behavior, he was disgusted with it. Especially since he can not remember what occurred to them that night.
How could he bear to have a child suffer because of him when he could afford to raise even a dozen children?
In the province...
"It is almost finished, Eve! Just polishing and you can start your business," said Paul as we checked the establishment.
"Yeah, they are doing their job effectively and efficiently. I am so delighted with their performance.
Paul, thank you so much. I do not know how to make it up with you." I confronted him.
"You do not know how? I have a better idea." smiling Paul announced.
"What is that?" I inquired immediately.
"If you do not prefer to endorse my restaurant, maybe you can visit my restaurant," he suggested.
"Sure, all right, I will visit your restaurant." I was quick to consent.
"I want us to go there together." he again implied.
I conceded because Paul's request was simple. After we inspected the construction of the establishment, we went to his restaurant together.
"Wow! What a very nice place. Taste of Antonio!" And I read the name of his restaurant when we got here.
"Thanks and you liked it," he mumbled.
"Why Antonio?" I inquired again.
"He is my dad. He is my inspiration for this restaurant. The other branch is Taste of Cecilia, my mom." Paul clarified.
"It is enviable that you still have parents." and I slowly walked closer to the door.
"You can have an extended family. In-laws for that matter." asserted Paul abruptly.
I stopped and glanced at him. I have an extended family. Mommy Vina and Daddy Lincoln, my mind answered him.
"I am not thinking of being married with my past. Who would marry someone like me?
I already had a baby, I just lost him." And I forced myself to smile.
"Eve, that is not always going to be a man's basis in finding the woman he will marry.
You are such a wonderful woman. And it is unlikely that many will love you.
And they will accept you for who you are for as long as you will give them a chance to prove it, their sincerity." He held my arm.
"Do you know nothing else to do but acclaim me? Paul, I might get used to your praises and compliments." And I snickered a little.
"You would rather get used to it. I can not help myself but compliment you." and he led me to a table.
Then we sat there to continue our conversation.
"You? You are an ideal man, an ideal boyfriend for that matter. Why don't you have a girlfriend yet? Or maybe you have a lot of girlfriends so you do not want to settle down." I declared openly.
"It is easy to have a girlfriend if I want to. I have this very special woman but I can not tell her my feelings yet." And he glared at me.
"Eve Lopez!" I heard a customer say.
I looked to Paul to ask him for backup.
"Can I take a picture with you?" the woman earlier asked again.
"I apologize, Eve can not take a picture with you." Paul tried to stop her.
"I am a fan of you! And it is nice to see you again today in person.
I have been watching your segment, Love Hotline before." the statement of the woman.
"Paul, it is okay! Just do me a favor not post this photo on social media. Please!" I told her.
"Sure, I promise!" the assurance of the woman.
I also conceded. I do not even want to have a commotion here. Also, these opportunities are only normal because I used to be famous.
The woman did not insist on other things after we took the picture.
"Are you sure she will not post that on social media?" Paul begged.
"I am sure she will keep her promise. All right, Paul, let us eat. I like to savor the Taste of Antonio menu." I changed the subject.
Paul stood up to order his staff to bring us food.
Their Point-of-Views
"I have to see my obstetrician today. Will you come with me?" Fritz inquired when he went to Nikolai's house.
"I will tell Nanny May to go with you. I promised Nicka that we will go swimming today." Nikolai's refusal.
"All right!" Fritz agreed.
She stood up but also suddenly returned to her seat.
"What is wrong?" Nikolai begged promptly.
"Suddenly I was dizzy," said Fritz as she clenched her head.
"Daddy, I am ready! Let us swim." the newcomer Nicka declared.
"Baby, Nanny May will go swimming with you first." Nikolai talked to Nicka.
"But why? You promised to join me." she pouted her lips.
"I have to accompany Aunt Fritz to the hospital to see her obstetrician," Nikolai deciphered.
"Why? Is she pregnant?" Nicka inquired again.
"Baby, she is pregnant and you are going to have a sibling again." Nikolai does not know how to explain it to Nicka.
"Yes, Nicka, you can call me Mommy if you want. You are going to have a sibling. Are you excited?" Fritz abruptly replied.
"No! Daddy, you promised me that Mommy would come back here. She is my only mother and no one else!" Nicka runs into the house again.
"Nicka!" Nikolai called.
"Ahhh! I am feeling terrible!" mumbled Fritz.
Nikolai shook his head for this turmoil. He knew Nicka is hurtful because she was also shocked by what he announced.
He needs to accompany Fritz first to see her obstetrician and then he will talk to Nicka again to explain to her further.
When they arrived at the hospital, Fritz was immediately admitted by the doctor's assistant.
"Let us go, Nikolai!" let out by Fritz.
"I will just wait for you here." Nikolai rejected.
"I feel awful and you should look after me." and she had already taken Nikolai inside the infirmary.
The obstetrician has already started.
"Nausea is normal. Daddy, you have to be patient with your wife because women are picky when they are pregnant.
Mood swings are also normal. I suggest that you take more time for your wife to make her pregnancy healthy." The advice of the obstetrician.
"Do not worry, Doctor Belle, Nikolai is very sensible with me!" and Fritz peered at Nikolai.
Why doesn't Nikolai feel any excitement now that he accompanied Fritz to her check-up with her obstetrician?
He did not feel any affection for the baby inside Fritz's womb.
But after realizing that she has proof, he likes to hurt himself for feeling this way to his child.
