595 Appointment In Dreamland (1/2)

Darren was really surprised to see that his dear wifey wasn't really acting as hyper as she usually did. She was indeed as random as always but she wasn't as energetic as always. But he thought it was because she was feeling tired and hadn't been sleeping well. So, he didn't probe her.

Xiu took a quick hot shower before coming to drink her ginger tea.

”Did you eat anything?”

Xiu took a sip of ginger tea and shook her head, ”No. But I'm not hungry either.”

”Lately, you've been so hungry that you could eat a whole cow, and now, you're suddenly not hungry at all?” Darren's brows knitted up. He lifted his hand to touch her forehead and confirmed that she didn't have a fever.

”I'm not sick,” stated Xiu while patting his hand that had shifted from her forehead to her cheek and was still lingering there. Finding it comforting, she leaned into his touch and rubbed her soft cheek against his hand making him smile.

”If you're not sick then what's up? Why the sudden mood shift?” He was perplexed that just yesterday she wanted to eat everything and today, she wasn't even feeling like eating anything. It worried him a little for the reasons he couldn't even tell himself. He just knew that everything associated with even the slightest shift in her moods had been enough to make him worried.

Xiu scrunched up her face saying, ”I think it's my time of the month.”

”That can't be right,” he retorted before he took his cellphone and opened the calendar. ”Nope. Definitely not. Your date already passed over two weeks ago.”

”Huh?” Xiu was dumbfounded by his reply.

”It was supposed to be while I was away. Did you not get your periods during that time?”

Xiu buried her head down, avoiding his eyes as she said, ”I didn't get it.” Taking a moment, she grumbled, ”I never thought I'd be having this discussion with my husband.” Recalling something, she asked, ”Wait! You know my date? Even I don't know it!”

Darren cleared his throat before saying, ”I'm your husband. It concerns me as well now.” Xiu squinted her eyes at him and he tried to avoid her heated gaze and used distraction as a way out. ”Anyway, you really didn't notice that your periods are late?” Xiu shook her head plainly. ”Don't you keep track of it?”

Xiu's shoulders slumped down, ”I don't like keeping track of things or people I hate.”

”I can't believe this!” he exclaimed. ”Sweets, this is serious. How can you be careless about it?” He pressed his lips together as he looked at her, ”Sweets, do you think you are...”

”Pregnant? No way!” Xiu laughed at him without even thinking.

”It's a possibility,” said Darren.

”Two months? And you didn't bother going to a doctor?”
