Chapter 67 - Test (2/2)

Andrew didn't say a word and nodded. He sat on the couch and looked at Nina.

”I'll wait here. Ren and Belinda were still in their suite, so we still had time. I'm not going anywhere. Whatever the result, I'll gladly accept it.” He said.

Nina mustered the courage and stood up. She took a deep breath and walked towards the bathroom.

”Or would you like me to come with you?” Andrew asked before she stepped inside the bathroom.

”Stay here. Then I'll call you.” She said while closing the bathroom door.

She looked at herself in the mirror. She wasn't pale anymore. Somehow, her complexion changed after she reconciled with her husband. It's been a few days that she felt sick and just threw up everything she had eaten.

She also felt sleepy and tired even though she stayed in their suite. She was craving some sweets, then suddenly craved for something sour. She knew the signs were telling her she was pregnant; all she needed was a confirmation.

She took a deep breath again, opened the pregnancy test, read the instructions, and walked towards the toilet bowl.

”It says to collect a urine sample in a cup and dip the test strips in it. That's easy.” She whispered and followed what it said.

”Wait for 3-5 minutes. It's positive if it has two lines.” She kept on whispering to herself.

She looked at it, waiting for the result. Five minutes seemed so long. She was in front of the mirror, tapping her fingers, then paced back and forth.

Then she opened another kit and tested it again. It was the same result. But it wasn't enough for her, so she did it again. She had tried five times and got the same result.

She bit her lips, then rushed outside the bathroom, carrying the five test kits.

Andrew was walking back and forth when she went outside the bathroom. He looked nervous when she turned to Nina.

”So? What is it?” He asked.

He walked towards his wife when she didn't answer. Andrew's heart started beating so loud when she saw Nina's expression.

”Hey. You're killing me. Can I see it?” He asked, brushing his hand on her cheek.

She then handed him the pregnancy test. Andrew's eyes widened when all five test kits had the same results.

He glanced at Nina, who suddenly started to cry. He panicked, then pulled her in his arms, embracing her tight.

”Hey, did you get scared? Don't cry. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.” He said while she cried in his arms.

She shook her head and stared into his eyes.

”No, somehow I felt like I failed you” Nina said.

The tests were clear. She wasn't pregnant. They all turned negative.

”No, you did not. How can you think of something like that? I'm not in a hurry. We could be happy together without kids for now. You're still young; we have eternity to try and have kids.” Andrew said in a gentle voice.

”Are you really okay? Aren't you disappointed? She asked while pouting.

”Hm. Well, I wished and hoped to get a positive result, but it's totally fine. Let's still see a doctor in Paris. I'm worried about your health.”

Then he pulled her in his arms again, kissing her on top of her head.
