She was talking to one of the maids who excused them when Colt and Mia came in.
Victoria rose to her feet. She approached the duo, turning her attention to Mia first.
"Sweetheart, you look so beautiful," Vicky said with so much adoration in her eyes.
Mia couldn't help with the smile that overtook her face. "Thanks, Mom."
"You're welcome, love and I do believe that I owe you thousands of apologies. This is the second time we are meeting physically and I sincerely apologize for how I reacted the time I came over to your office. I tend to overreact when I'm angry or when things do not go my way. I'm very sorry, Mia and I promise that such will never repeat itself."
Colton and Mia chatted a while with their group of friends when they got back outside. (Theo, Sammie, Enoch, and Hailey).Then they all went ahead to have some food. After eating, Colton and Mia were told it was time to cut the cake. They took pictures and then they both gave their speech. (The couple basically thanked everyone who came to celebrate with them) and finally, they both announced their pregnancy which took everyone by surprise.Well, everyone except Victoria, Sammie, and Hailey who noticed her symptoms when they were in Paris.They've spoken to each other over the phone since they got back from Paris but Mia would always avoid answering their questions when they ask if she was truly pregnant.
Three weeks later! (11 weeks pregnant)Mia stayed two extra hours at the office to complete her work since the deadline was near.At 7 pm sharp, She paused all she was doing and started gathering her things to go home.Instead of heading straight to the penthouse, Mia stopped by a Pizza shop since that was what she was craving. There was a grocery store not too far from the pizza place so she stopped by to pick up a few things.Getting back to her car with all the items she got, Mia drove towards She and Colton's home.Gently shutting the door behind her, Mia went straight to the kitchen. She placed all that she bought on the way on the counter,
Upon hearing what her best friend was going through, Mia lost her appetite. She gulped down the remaining juice in her glass cup, then kept the remaining pizza in the fridge.She exited the kitchen after washing and drying her hands.Turning off the lights by clapping twice, Mia proceeded to the bedroom.She turned on the TV, then got into bed. Properly covering herself with the duvet, Mia reached for her phone and chatted with her Sister for a while. That was until Colton's video call came through.She smiled as she answered it. It was past midnight in Germany. Yet, he made efforts to always call her every night. She also wakes up to sweet messages from him e
Sunday evening!Once Mia was done taking a shower, She dried and wrapped her body with a towel. She also had another towel wrapped around her wet hair.Opening the bathroom door, She came face to face with the best surprise of the day."Oh my God, Colt." She threw herself at him and hugged the hell out of him, while being mindful of her belly."Hi, Queen Mia." He smiled, returning the hug. "I missed you so much.""I missed you more, Colt. We miss you so much." He heard her sniffle against his chest.Colton smiled, he kissed Mia on the side of her head and continued hugging her.
"Can we see them? Pleaseee?" She gave him a puppy dog face."I was thinking of presenting them to you after dinner but it's fine if you want to see them now."Colton intertwined his hand with hers and led her to the living room where his luggage was.There were two gift bags comfortably seated on the luggage box. Colton reached for one of them and handed it to Mia. "That's for our baby"She smiled at him before digging in to see what he got for their little bean.Mia brought out a beautiful transparent box from the bag. Because the medium-sized box was clear in nature, Mia could see everything that was in it without opening it. The items she saw made her smil
"Yes, colt. I was on my way to the club when Hailey's call came through. I called you after that but you failed to answer your damn phone. I would have called your secretary but I remember she closes by 6:30 pm. I had no choice but to come back to the office to fetch you.""But really, you should have been more responsible, Colt. Why in hell would you allow a pregnant woman to drive around herself? At night for that matter? You have access to all of Dad's drivers. Why can't you appoint one to Mia?""As a soon-to-be-married man, what the hell are you even still doing in the office by this time? I thought you promised Mia you were done with staying late at the office?!!!!""Anyways, I called Richard on my way here. He must be attending to Mia by now."
At this point, Colton's eyes were heavy with tears. It was evident that all hope was lost for him. Nevertheless, he followed Richard to the examination room which was the opposite direction of where Richard came out from.Hailey burst into tears immediately after they left. Caleb pulled her into a hug and tried to calm her, slowly patting her back."The baby.....Mia loves him or her so much. I don't think she will be able to bear the pain of losing it. Mia is a good person. She doesn't deserve to go through all of these." Hailey cried harder.Caleb pulled away from the hug and made Hailey look at him. "Richard hasn't said anything about the baby""He didn't need to spell it out before we understood
Stepping into the suite, Colton Royal was greeted with the beeping sound of the monitor. He shut the door behind him as gently as he could.Walking further into the room, he felt a pang in his chest the moment he sighted Mia.Finally getting to her bedside, tears welled up in Colton's eyes when he took in Mia's appearance. She had a bandage around her forehead, another one by her left ankle, a bruise on her left cheek, and a few on her hands.Reminding himself that he had to be strong for her, Colt decided not to show any more weakness. Mia was in good hands and he was going to do whatever he could to make her get better.He leaned closer to her. "You're the bravest woman I've ever known. I'm
