Chapter 379 - Im pregnant (1/2)
JoAnna and Sophia entered the apartment. JoAnna was overjoyed and reminded herself silently few times not to scream that Sophia is pregnant. Sophia needs to tell Felix big news first.
JoAnna watched Sophia anxiously enter the guest bedroom. Sophia turned around and JoAnna gave her an encouraging smile. The door closed and JoAnna happily bobbed her head while heading to find Jeff.
JoAnna was startled that he was right behind her. ”Hi...!!!” She almost screamed from surprise as Jeff lifted her up in one smooth move and carried her princess style to the bedroom. His eyes were wide open and he had a silly grin on his face. JoAnna found him to be funny and giggled. ”I missed you too.” She hugged him and kissed as he placed her gently on the bed. Jeff sat next to her on the bed and stared at her, like he is expecting something. JoAnna was about to tell him that Sophia is pregnant but stopped herself. 'Sophia should tell, it's her news. Even Felix does not know... I should not talk about it.'
Jeff on the other side looked at JoAnna expecting her to tell him that she is pregnant. 'Why is she not telling me? Maybe she is waiting for the right time. She probably planned an event where she will surprise me with the news. That is why she went to the mall, to make arrangements.' The more he thought about it, the more it made sense: she wants to surprise him with good news.
”How are you feeling?” Finally, he spoke.
”OK. My legs are a bit achy from the...” JoAnna could not believe that Jeff was already rubbing her feet.
”Is this helping?” He grinned.
”Yes, thank you.” JoAnna noticed that he is more enthusiastic than usual. 'He probably had a good day at work. Or is excited that it's weekend.' Well, why would she miss on a good foot rub? JoAnna got herself comfortable on the pillows, leaned back, and closed her eyes.
...
In the guest bedroom, Sophia entered silently.
Felix was on the sofa with his laptop. When he heard the door close, he kept laptop on the side and walked to Sophia. ”How are you feeling? Tired?”
”Little bit”, she confessed.
”Let me help you.” He kept her purse on the side and supported her while guiding her to the bed.
Sophia laid down, and he settled next to her. Felix embraced her and kissed her forehead. ”Rest. I will hold you.”
Felix noticed that Sophia is more reserved since they came from Montreal. He knows that she got upset there, and he told himself to be patient, that she will accept him again in time. But it seems that as the time passed, Sophia was getting more distant. Felix thought that Sophia is like sand that is escaping through his fingers. He felt helpless, not knowing how to get back his Sophia, the one that looked at him with warmth and passion like he is the most amazing man in the world. Felix told her that he will mend her broken heart, but it seems that it was getting worse. He was getting desperate, not knowing what to do.
”Felix...” Sophia's voice made his body jolt in attention. ”What do you think about having kids?”
Felix froze. He remembered that his mother said that Sophia is old and will not be able to give him a large family. And he knows that Sophia heard those hurtful words. 'That must be the reason she is asking me.' He collected himself, ”I don't care much about kids. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy.”
