Chapter 454 - Baby Shower... (2/2)

”No baby.. Today is for both of us. Remember, we've made this baby together… right?” Veronica said while giving him a playful wink while Reuben just shook his head smilingly.

After all the congratulatory wishes and lots of gifts, the couple finally decided to cut the cake.

It was a gender neutral cake, matching with the colours of balloons. An edible teddy was placed on the top while the cake was decorated with beautiful golden, pink, blue, brown and peach coloured edible balls.

This cake was personally selected by Reuben as he wanted to surprise his wife and it definitely did the magic as Veronica was literally drooling over the cake.

”Wow! Bennie.. It's so beautiful that I want to just keep it like this. But what can we do when our little munchkin is craving for this yummy chocolaty cake! So let's cut it fast and feed each other.” Veronica squealed excitedly, clapping her hands..

Reuben chuckled at her cute antics and teased, ”Sure love.. It's only the baby who wants to eat the cake, but not her Mumma.. And we definitely have to listen to our baby. So let's do feed her quickly.”

Veronica made a small pout but later laughed it off as she couldn't hold her craving anymore.

They both cut the cake together and fed each other while others cheered for them loudly..

Veronica was about to have another bite of her cake when she felt a hard kick on her tummy.

Looking down, she said, ”Oh! So baby wants more cake? Let him have it then.”

Saying this, she cut another big slice and started eating it. However before she could gulp it wholly, she felt another big contraction hitting inside her tummy..

She ignored it first but suddenly the contractions started growing larger and it become more painful second by second.

”Ahh!” Veronica suddenly cried out, gripping Reuben's arm tightly.

Reuben's head instantly snapped towards her as he held her tightly in her arms.

”Baby.. What happened?” Reuben asked, with a worried look.

”It…it's paining a lot, Bennie..” Veronica stammered while clutching her tummy in a tight grip.

Now everyone's attention was only on Veronica who was literally screaming in extreme pain.

All of a sudden, she felt some liquid flowing out of her lower part, wetting her gown completely.

Seeing it, Veronica whispered in disbelief, ”Mom.. Why I'm peeing now?”

Mrs. Lopez's eyes turned wide hearing her daughter's words as she exclaimed loudly, ”Oh My God! Your water broke, Vero. We have to immediately take you to the hospital.”

”What? But Ica's due date is still two weeks later.” Reuben shouted exasperatedly.

”I know.. But it's completely fine to give an early birth. So don't waste anymore time and take her to hospital.” Mrs. Smith pacified an already terrified Reuben somehow.

Nodding his head vigorously, Reuben immediately picked Veronica up and made her lie on the backseat with her head resting on Mrs. Lopez's lap.

Mrs. Smith brought Veronica's hospital bag quickly and took the front passenger seat as Reuben drove the car like a bullet train while the others also followed them from behind..
