RUBY

"Hello, Austin. Can I join?"

I grunted inwardly at that question. Wyatt already got the ticket, so of course, he would come.

Austin nodded, and I was tempted to coax him to change his mind.

But then I must remind myself I was the one giving approval. Taking it back would need a logical reason, which I couldn't find at the moment.

Wyatt sat on the empty space opposite me and on the other side of my son. He looked at Austin, and somehow, I felt the odd way he did that. He seemed like someone was longing and in pain. Also, I spotted happiness as well as love.

Did he really know?

"Do you like the book?" He started the conversation.

Austin nodded again, this time more enthusiastically. "Yes. I love Superman."

"Do you want to be a Superman?"

My son tilted his head up so the two most beautiful blue eyes I knew met. "Mommy said, as long as I'm being a good boy and good to friends, teachers, and others, I'm a Superman." His eyes blinked twice after he said that, making

  • Chasing My Ex-wife Back    Chapter 138

    WYATTThe first day of the returning to our normal life went smoothly. Austin was thriving on his first day, telling me on how the teachers and friends welcome and play with him. They let the children play outside, so it was a thrill.As for me, I had a meeting and work, which I started to take it over after discharging from the hospital. Surely, with Dad's help because I couldn't attend some meetings physically. Nothing to worry about Logan.And as for Ruby, I told her not to push on herself. Her pregnancy was the top priority, and since she had to accompany our son, I refused to her idea to oversee her store opening. It could be hectic, and I didn't want to harm her, the baby, as well as Austin as he also needed her attention at this crucial moment.Thus, I offered myself to check on her store progress on the way to the office. And as I predicted, it was frantic."Is everything going well?" I asked Lin, who was responsible to oversee the store opening. It

    RUBYThe christmas and new year holiday went very well. We didn't go anywhere and stayed in the city. However, everything was amazing, and Austin was thriving on his first holiday surrounded by family, not only him and me anymore.And when the holiday season was over, we returned to the important things in our lives. Wyatt with his work, me with my pregnancy, and Austin with his school.Yes. It was time for him to return to the school. Not that I couldn't accompany him, but more that he needed friends to play with.And for the first day, Wyatt, Austin, and I went to the school together. Also, I would be staying nearby while waiting for him. And I would probably do this for the rest of the week."Are you ready for your first day?" I asked my son before we left the parking area and walked to the main building. It was a big two story building with a vast yard and a corner a little park. It definitely could facilitate children's activities.Of course, we chose this daycare center due to i

    RUBY[Dad, can I call you? Maybe, a video call?]I couldn't help but to feel nervous the next morning. It was a message for Nicolas, which I sent after breakfast.[Yes, darling.]And the reply that came five minutes later worsened it. I felt suffocated already by my nervousness. The first step was always nerve wracking."Give it to me. I will be the one calling him." Wyatt said from the floor, extending his hand in my direction and offering help.It was silly, wasn't it? To be nervous to call my own father.But, yeah, it happened. Therefore, I took the help wholeheartedly."I thought I would see Ruby's face first." Nicolas' voice errupted into the air the moment the call was connected. It was a video call and Wyatt was the one speaking to him."She's with me, but too nervous to call you."I quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it to Wyatt. I didn't need him to be so honest. It was embarassing.Wyatt laughed but didn't stop teasing

    RUBYThe biggest challenge was telling our son. I couldn't deny that I was nervous for his reaction. He had learned a glimpse of pregnancy through Laura's moment. But it happened to his aunt, not me.Yes. I feared of his rejection."You know that Aunt Laura is pregnant, do you?" Wyatt began his words, sitting and playing on the floor with Austin. "And you can see her belly grows bigger, right?"Austin nodded to both the questions."And what inside her belly is a baby.""Yes. We will be friend after she's born." He answered with things Laura used to say to him, causing me to feel sorry for him. He would be assigned to more task."Right. You will be her friend." Wyatt justified. "But you know something. Mommy is pregnant now, like Aunt Laura. She will give you a sibling in nine months."I subconsciously held my breath when Austin finally turned his focus to Wyatt."A sibling? Like a brother or a sister?""Yes. We don't know it's a brother or a sister yet. But you will get one."Austin b

    WYATTMy life couldn't be happier than this. Having Ruby by my side and Austin in our life, then there was more to complete our happiness.Ruby was pregnant.Of course, I was in bliss to hear that."Here. This is where your baby grows." A male doctor, who was doing the USG check, said while painting to the black and white area on the monitor. "And this is your baby. It's still a tiny thing." He pointed to a dot, which amazed me on how little a human was from."I can see that." Although it was hard to imagine on how the image resembled the real thing. It was our baby he was talking about.The doctor moved the tool around on Ruby's stomach to get a better view while kept explaining a few more things about what we saw on the monitor. "You said it was your second pregnancy, wasn't it?" He asked after the examination was done and the consulting session began.Ruby and I were sitting side by side across him."Yes." Ruby replied, hand on mine."What did it look like? Did your first pregnancy

    RUBYI quietly got up from the bed, leaving the warmth of Wyatt's body and heading out of our room. It was five in the morning, and the sky was still dark. However, I had been awake for almost thirty minutes already after a strange dream came to my sleep.We were spending summer holiday in a beach, playing with water and sand. There was also a moment I was lying under the sunlight, enjoying the heat while watching my family far ahead: Wyatt and Austin.But then, a gurgle drew my attention, and there it was. A baby lied next to me, protected by an umbrella, whom I soothed.It was an abrupt conciousness as I opened my eyes with heart beating faster. No. It wasn't fear or a jolt, but rather an excitement. I felt happy for no reason but the dream.That was why I spent the next minutes staring at Wyatt while my mind was wandering to the imagination. What would the life be if there was one more member added to our family? Would we be happy like the dream? The beach must be great, then.I we
