Chapter seventy-nine: I Am Going To Be A Father

Jessica

**After one month**

Finally I have graduated, I am finally done with Covenant University and now my next chapter in life is moving back to Paris with Jeffrey.

"Here, my love." He said, taking one of the two boxes I was carrying.

"Let me help you."

We were currently moving all my stuff from my apartment to the truck that will take us to the airport and then loaded everything onto Jeffrey's private jet.

I am so excited to finally live with Jeffrey for more than just merely a few weeks. This is forever and my heart fluttered at the simple idea of him being by my side forever as my husband.

*******

Paris was lovely as we arrived, the weather was beautiful much to Jeffrey's surprise. He half expected it to be raining but the sun was shining and everything was right with the world.

It took me one week to finally settle in the country. I had also been experiencing extremely tiredness these last few days and waking up with some slight nausea. It will go away after a couple of hours but I hated being so fatigued when Jeffrey returned home from work. I felt like I wasn't loving him enough.

It was the weekend, Jeffrey and I could finally spend some time together. He has resumed work at his company and is working on the process of expanding to England. It was like we would be moving to England within a year. I was excited about this adventure with him, traveling into the world, seeing new places and getting to experience different cultures in different countries.

"You better brush more on your English." He said, poking my cheek.

"But my English is not that bad." I shrugged.

"We will brush up on it, we still have time before moving to England." He smiled.

The following week was pure hell, I was so tired all the time and I found myself falling asleep everywhere I could lay down. Jeffrey even noticed I wasn't my usual self and insisted we see a doctor but I told him it was probably because of the change in time difference. He thought it was ridiculous but there was no other explanation for my fatigue so he let it slide.

It wasn't until one early morning when I woke up and immediately ran to the bathroom, almost tripping on the rug before I emptied my stomach into the toilet.

"My love, are you alright?"

He walked into the bathroom a few seconds later, only to find my sweaty body leaned over the toilet seat and vomiting. He quickly rushed to me, pulling my hair back away from my face as I emptied my stomach once again.

"I…I am fine. I think I ate something bad." He sighed.

"Was it the food from last night? Did it taste okay?" I nodded, feeling a trickle of sweat down my forehead.

"Yes, I think it tastes fine."

"Now will be a good time to see a doctor, don't you think so?" I shook my head.

"N…no, I am fine. I just need to take a nap or something." I said but he wasn't having it.

"No, Princess. I am taking you to the doctor. You have been oddly tired for the past weeks, you won't eat breakfast and now you are vomiting."

I tried once more to stop him from taking me to the doctor but he refused to let it slide. I loved how protective he was even though I was sure this was just a stomach bug.

As we made our way to the doctor, his hand was on my thigh the entire drive. He looked so much more nervous about this than I was.

We got to the doctor's office, I laid down on the examination bed and Jeffrey was sitting on one of the chairs in the office but his nerves were definitely getting to him while my vitals were being taken.

"Jeffrey, I am fine. Just calm down."

He took a deep breath and nodded, the nurse let us know that the doctor will be in soon.

A few minutes later, a tall and handsome man walked in. I had to keep myself from swooning in front of Jeffrey.

"Hi, Miss Silver. I am Dr. Charles." He shook my hand and Jeffrey's as well.

"Hi, I am Jeffrey, her fiance."

"Oh, congrats." He said.

"Alright, what seems to be the problem here?" He asked.

"Um..I have been really tired lately and then this morning I threw up." There wasn't much to it, just fatigue and vomiting.

"And how long have you been having this fatigue?"

"Maybe a little over a week."

"Okay," he said, scribbling down on his clipboard.

"And this is the first time you have vomited."

"Yes but I have been nauseous the last few days though. This is just the first time I have thrown up."

"Are you two sexually active?"

I looked over at Jeffrey and his cheeks were turning a slight shade of pink as well as mine.

"Umm, yes, I guess. I mean, the last time we had sex was about one month ago. Maybe a little more than that." He nodded.

He continued to scrabble down a few more notes before looking up at me.

"And my next follow up question, have you missed your period?"

I glanced over at Jeffrey and he looked at me with confusion.

"Umm, yes. I actually have." The doctor smiled and finished scribbling down on his clipboard before responding.

"Well, it looks to me like you are showing signs of pregnancy."

"Pregnancy!" He blurted, sitting up straight and his eyes widened and the doctor nodded.

"Yes, fatigue and vomiting are common within the first couple of weeks after conception. Lets run a quick blood test just to be safe, okay?"

I cringed at the idea of taking my blood. I am scared of needles but if it means finding out if I am truly pregnant or not, I will get over it.

Jeffrey never left my side as we waited for the test results. He kept rolling his lips between his teeth and tapping his foot, I grabbed his hand to stop his fidgeting and he looked at me with mixed emotions in his eyes.

"It will be okay no matter what, alright?"

He gave me a small smile and a nod of his head before he leaned over and kissed the back of my hand. The doctor soon returned with the test results. He looked at both of us with an unreasonable expression.

"Well, the results are out and there is no denying. Miss Silver, you are indeed pregnant." My jaw dropped and I looked at Jeffrey who had the same facial expressions as me.

"She is….she is pregnant? For real?"

"The test results are positive, she is just three weeks away." The doctor replied.

"I am going to be a father?" He mumbled and then looked at me, his shocked expression turning into a happy and surprised one.

"I am going to be a father." I smiled and nodded in excitement, intertwining our fingers.

"You are going to be a father, Jeffrey."

"So, you both would likely come back when you are twenty weeks gone. We can do an ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby, if you would like. I know some parents like to wait until birth to be surprised." Dr. Charles explained.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I am pregnant with Jeffrey's child? I felt so many emotions throughout the session in the hospital and it wasn't until we got back in the car that I suddenly burst into tears.

"My love, what is wrong?" He was staring deep in my eyes, I shook my head.

"Nothing, nothing." I said, smiling at him and wiping away the tears from my cheeks.

"I am just….we are going to have a baby, Jeffrey."

His smile widened and his eyes became glossy as well before he looked at my stomach and placed his hand gingerly over it.

"I am going to be a father." He whispered as if he needed to repeat it to himself to remind him that this is really happening.

"Should we wait to tell our families?"

Both my family and his family knew that we will be getting married but I was a little hesitant on telling them that I am pregnant before marriage. My family is very traditional so I was worried that they would be upset with me rather than congratulating me. He took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Maybe we should wait a little bit, at least until the end of the month. We need a sick gender to reveal ideas though." I rolled my eyes with a giggle.

"Jeffrey we don't need to go all with the gender reveal. It can be simple, let's just color the inside of a cake or something."

"Sweetheart, please. Do you know who I am? This needs to be absolutely mental." I looked down and placed my hand over my stomach.

"I am having a baby." I whispered.
