The unexpected pregnancy
Last Updated:
2022-08-16 16:58:31Arthur's POV
At the hospital ; doctor's office
I would be lying to myself if I say I'm not scared to the core. What could it be that the doctor needed my presence before she could tell Catherine what the problem was.
My palms had become so cold as I held Catherine's hand and we both sat in the office, waiting for what our fate would be.
I heard the door opening,I turned around to see a lady I guessed to be in her late 20's in a lab coat entering the office. Catherine and I stood up but she asked us to take our seats.
I was so impatient I rushed to ask questions immediately.
"Doctor, what is the problem?. Why did you insist I come along with my wife before you say anything?" I bombarded her with questions after questions.
"Mr Arthur please I would like you to calm down. Actually there isn't any problem but good news" the doctor gave a big smile as she began to flip through some papers that were on her table.
"Good news?" I got confused.
Catherine, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly looked at me and smiled as if she knew what the doctor was about to say.
"So what is this good news?" I looked at the doctor confused and lost.
"Well Mr Arthur.. your wife is 4 weeks pregnant" she blurted out and looked at my face as if trying to guess my next expression.
"Pregnant? But how? She..she was" I stammered trying to comprehend the entire scenario.
Should I be happy or not or maybe they made some kind of mistake because Catherine can never be pregnant again. At least that was what her reports said after her last miscarriage.
"Doctor, are you sure about what you are telling me?" I was in disbelief.
"Yes I am very sure. You can ask your wife over here. I had to conduct the test 3 more times after finding out" the doctor explained and I just couldn't help but to look at Catherine who was seated by my side
"Is that true Catherine?" I looked at her.
"Yes" she finally confessed.
So she knew all about this and she didn't tell me, I was almost angered.
"Arthur, please don't get mad. I just wanted to be sure before I tell you anything I didn't want to give you false hope" she pleaded and looked so innocent. She folded her heart shaped pink lips and looked down.
Well she is right though.
"Anyways that's not the reason I wanted you to be here before I tell her about the pregnancy" the doctor drew the attention of both Catherine and myself.
"So what is the reason?" I paid more attention to the doctor this time.
"Your wife's pregnancy is complicated due to her previous miscarriages. If we are not careful she might lose the baby again" the doctor was disappointed.
I closed my eyes and breathed out heavily, I knew that this miracle wouldn't just come like that.
"Please can I have an ultrasound?" Catherine was so excited. I wondered how she could be so excited.
"No not yet. You will have to wait till the pregnancy is 21 weeks then you can come for an ultrasound" the doctor advised.
Then the doctor's phone rang and she walked out of the room. If I guessed correctly she had an emergency.
Catherine's POV
*At the house of Catherine and Arthur"
"Arthur, you have to calm down. You just found out today and you are already giving me restrictions" I was happy and angry at the same time
"You heard what the doctor said. I cannot risk the life of this child so you have to stop working for now please" Arthur said in a low and appealing tone while he asked me to sit on the bed.
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. The pregnancy journey went so fast and I was already in my 21st week of pregnancy.
At the hospital
"Please lie down and avoid moving your body too much Mrs Catherine" the doctor instructed as she conducted an ultrasound.
She didn't take her eyes off the screen and I was so tense. I wanted to know what I was carrying, a beautiful girl or a dashing and handsome looking boy.
"Congratulations, you are pregnant with twins. Two girls precisely" the doctor helped me stand up.
At Catherine and Arthur's home
Arthur was more than happy when I told him about the twins.
"So you mean I am going to have two beautiful girls running around the house and calling me daddy?" Arthur dropped the documents he was holding earlier and came closer to me.
"Yes" I laughed.
The joy in his eyes was simply something I couldn't ignore. I have never seen him this happy after my last miscarriage.
"So can I call my brother and tell him the good news?" Arthur looked at me as if asking for permission.
"No Arthur not yet. I still stand by my decision that no one would find out about my pregnancy till I deliver the babies safe and sound" I tried my best to explain things as best as I could.
I don't know why but ever since I found out about the baby Arthur has been so eager to tell the whole world but I have been insisting he waits. I don't even know the reason why I felt like it was the best choice, maybe it was because I was afraid of taking the shame of losing another baby.
"Okay as you please your highness" Arthur took a cheerful bow in front of me that made me laugh.
I have never come this far with a pregnancy before. In Fact my stomach had never been this swollen.
I never knew that pregnancy was this challenging. I got so many cravings and crazy mood swings.
I was in the 8 month already and so far so good.
Arthur's POV
At the office
Each and every day that passes by my fear gets bigger and bigger. I get so scared of losing the babies and what if I lose Catherine this time.
I wouldn't stop calling her more than five times a day anytime I'm at work..
"Arthur this is the 9th time you have called me to ask whether I have eaten" Catherine was complaining from the other end of the phone.
"I know but I cannot help but worry about you" I tried to defend myself knowing fully well that I was overreacting.
"Arthur you left the house 3 hours ago and it's not 12 noon yet" she sounded very sarcastic.
"I know that as well," I said.
"Ok. Do you even get any work done?" She was slowly becoming enraged.
"Ok bye" I ended the call trying my best to escape her anger.
The 8 month went by smoothly thankfully and finally we were in the 9th month and for some reason Catherine kept falling sick. It was from one problem to the other and I could tell that the doctors weren't even sure about the babies survival.
At the hospital
"What is happening doctor? Is my wife going to be okay" I waited outside the ER of the hospital. I rushed Catherine to the hospital for the 3rd time in the same week after she passed out suddenly.
"Is she conscious?" I asked the doctor again but she ignored me and kept on walking.
I couldn't sit or stand or do anything. I just kept on pacing outside the ER, nurses would rush out of the room and I would try questioning them but none of them gave me any reply. The ones who would try to reply to me would tell me to be patient that they were in a hurry. My palms were already sweating and I rubbed my hair with my palm vigorously.
A nurse holding a tray was approaching me, I was so absent minded that I bumped into the nurse
"I am so sorry" I helped her to pick up the items that fell on the floor. Although that nurse wasn't attending to my wife.
I still followed her and saw a little girl in a room. The girl should be around 6 to 8 years old. She was indeed beautiful and I wished that my daughters would end up being as beautiful as she was.
"Nurse, why is no one attending to that girl?" I tried to make inquiries.
"Her parents stopped paying her bills. They said they couldn't afford her surgery, she has very little time left as her kidney is failing her"the nurse's tone was more than sad and I could tell from her voice that she felt pity for the girl but yet there was absolutely nothing she could do about the entire issue.
I thought about it for a while and decided to pay the 1 million dollars that was required to carry out the surgery but I pleaded with the staff to keep my identity away from the parents of the girl no matter what happened. I already had media problems. I didn't want more issues.
Just then I took notice of the doctor coming out of the ER with some nurses, she seemed to be giving them instructions. Sweating, I slowly started to walk towards the doctor's direction and immediately she saw me, she wore a sad expression on her face.
"I'm really sorry Mr Arthur" she lowered her head in disappointment and just then I knew it was over. All my happiness would soon fade.

Congratulations your wife and kids are fine now* the doctor stretched forth her hand for a handshake."Wait, you mean my wife and daughters are alive?" I asked again because I couldn't believe my ears. I felt like my ears were playing a cruel trick on me."Yes you can go and see them" the doctor smiled at me and walked away.Wait ! So this means I am now a father of two beautiful girls.My heart just couldn't contain my joy, I called my younger brother immediately."Louis, you have two nieces now.

Arthur's POV Catherine had spent all her time shopping for Mia. She had even made me take the day off just so I could go with her. As we opened the door of the house, Mia who was seated on the couch alone while being watched by the maids and guards and once she took notice of us she ran away as usual. "Arthur" Catherine stared at me with such watery and sad eyes. "She will come around okay. Go and show her all the things you bought for her" I urged Catherine so she wouldn't get more upset. "But what if she doesn't like it?" Catherine was more discouraged at this point. "She will love it, trust me, just go and give it to her" I brought out a teddy bear from one of the bags and handed it over to her. I slowly walked behind her to see how Mia would react. "Mia darling I got you something" Catherine brought out the teddy she was hiding behind her. As usual Mia didn't respond to her, she sat on the floor leaning on the bed. Catherine soon joined her to sit on the floor. "Look it

Catherine's POVMy family was having dinner like every other day until Mia began to cough."What's wrong with you Mia. Are you okay?" I gave her a glass of water to help her clear her throat."I'm okay mummy" she smiled and continued with her food. She soon excused herself from the dining and went to the room.Just then 8 men dressed all dressed in black, well armed and wearing masks flung my door open. I tried to run but they pointed a gun at Arthur, stopping us from making any move."Where is your daughter?" One of the men wrapped his hand around my neck and held me at gunpoint "What do you want? We will give you anything, just take anything you want and leave us alone" I pleaded with them ."Shut up and get us your daughter. She is what we need" another one ordered and I began to shiverI looked at Arthur and he gave me a disapproving look, I'm not sure that the men had noticed the gesture."I don't know where she is" I tried to sound as convincing as I could."Are you playing som

At Arthur's and Catherine's home. As expected a lot of police officers had surrounded the place already, doing their investigations but yet not a single evidence was found. Due to the fame and wealth of Mr and Mrs Arthur, the media were also there, taking pictures and videos. No one even bothered about the 5 year old who just saw a blood bath in front of her, the police kept on dragging as many corpses as they could out of the house, about 100 workers had lost their lives. A pretty blonde putting on glasses walked into the place with the sounds of her shoe echoing as everywhere had become quiet. It was very difficult not to notice the lady dressed in a red blazer jacket. She was the only one who walked towards Mia that was seated on the floor,crying her eyes out. She went and tapped the little girl in the shoulder. "You know this is all your fault" the lady whispered in Mia's ear. Those words alone were enough to send cold shivers down Mia's spine. Mia looked up to the blonde who

Lilian was not ready to stop her search, she did everything in her power to find Mia but she just couldn't. She finally gave in and decided to report the issue to the police."And how long has she been missing?" A police officer began to question Lilian who was seated in his office to file a missing child case."I just noticed her disappearance this afternoon" Lilian was lying."And what did you do about it?" The officer began to question Lilian because he doubted her words. Lilian looked so terrified it was easy for anyone to tell that she was lying and she was terrible at it."I searched for her in the house and neighborhood. I thought she just went out to play but now I'm thinking it was more than that. Please officer, you have to help me find my niece, she is all I have left of my sister" Lilian burst into fake tears as a way of hiding her fear and also confusing the officer. Her tricked finally worked.He lowered his eyebrows and looked at her then ordered his fellow officers to

Twenty four hours had passed already and Lilian was supposed to be waking up from her induced coma. The corps were too impatient to wait until the next morning before they began to question her. They were already at the hospital, there was doubt about how terrified Lilian looked when she saw them approaching her room.Suddenly, there was an unexpected power outage in the hospital and everywhere was dark, they could hardly see even with their phone torches on. The outage went on for 30 minutes with the corps trying to figure out what went wrong. Power was restored but Lilian was nowhere to be found. Immediately, they placed a call to all stations ordering for her search, the supposed doctor who attended to her wasn't even in the hospital.The hospital staff even claimed that they didn't have such a doctor working there. The corps were more than confused as to where she had gone. A stop and search was immediately conducted on every moving vehicle in the street.Lilians's sudden disappea

It was a clear pursuit. They were so close to catching the lady, whose car was now clearly in sight.The lady looked at her rear view mirror and found out that the corps were after her.Lilians's POVOh shit! How could they have caught up with me so easily? What to do? What to do?. I was panicking and that really made me very confused. If I stop the car now and pretend as if I know nothing then they might not arrest me but if I keep going then surely they will arrest me."We are asking you to stop your car now. We know you are Miss Lilian and you have been declared wanted, it is better you surrender now or face the consequences of your actions" the Corp said in a megaphone installed in their car.So that means they already know that I am Lilian, damn I thought this disguise would work.

Her eyes were wide open…at first Scott wondered what could be so surprising but when he also saw who was standing in front of them he reacted almost in the same way as she did."So you know each other?" Lakshmi's dad walked up to them alongside another man who was properly dressed in a green suit. He looked like he was around the same age as Lakshmi's dad."Ehrm…" Lakshmi and Scott echoed at the same time."Yes dad…I know him" Emily said very quickly with a squeezed face."Oh…Lakshmi meet Mr Ryan…he is Emily's father and my new business partner.

Scott asked his sister who kept looking around…she couldn't be blamed though…she had never been outside this late before and she hadn't attended a night party before…probably just some few birthday parties but none like this."Come with us," Mia suddenly said."Hmmn" Scott thought about it for a while before he eventually gave in.Even his sister whom he had asked earlier didn't give him an answer so he thought it would just be wise to keep an eye on her.Everyone looked so beautiful, Mia and Lakshmi for some reason outshone ever

Alyssa exclaimed and ran out of the room almost immediately."I also moved away from the pot as well.After the whole thing had cooled down I went into the room to see the damage, the necklace was half burnt and the floor was smoking."WHAT?" I gasped. It was totally impossible…this necklace is indestructible."What happened?" Alyssa looked at the floor and then she looked back at me."You have been played…this…this is fake" I picked up the necklace and threw it at the wall. It broke into pieces at once."No it…it can't be" she tried to argue."Oh just stop it…shut up and get out of my sight " I sent her out.I thought I was the one that cursed Mi

She wasn't the one who told Mia about Alyssa's outrageous demand so how did Mia find out?"My father told me" Mia read Lakshmi's mind and answered her question even before she could ask."Hmmn" Lakshmi sighed before she closed her eyes very slowly and buried her face in her palms like she usually did when she was disturbed."You don't have to worry she will be here soon with your brother. I already informed her that I was willing to give her the necklace" Mia reminded Lakshmi.The room just screamed in silence because on one hand Mia was thinking about why her father hadn't shown up with the fake necklace yet and on the other hand Lakshmi was busy thinking abou

My mum fluttered her eyes."Are you supporting what he did? Did you enjoy it when he did it to you?" My father asked my mum a very ridiculous question."Get my son out of that hospital…let's find a solution. He has been there for so many weeks and he isn't recovering so get him out of there!!" my mum yelled."He isn't even your real son.

You should be bothered about me and no one else…is that understood?" Alyssa ordered as her eyes turned bloodshot red and the more Scott looked into her eyes.. the more he fell into her trap.He was completely under her spell and he would do anything she wanted and nothing more."Yes" he followed her like some kind of zombie."Now carry me to your room..

She yelled as she stood at the entrance of the door looking dumbfounded.Before anyone, including her husband who stood behind her, could understand what was going on. She fell to the floor and collapsed."MOM!!" Lakshmi's eyes widened as she left her brother and ran towards her mother."Mummy…please open your eyes" she had begun to cry already even though nothing was wrong with her mother.Her dad quickly lifted his wife off the floor and rushed her to his room before he called the family doctor who arrived there in no time."Is she going to be fine?" Lakshmi's dad was more than concerned as he watched how his wife just laid on the bed without responding."Yes she will…she just passed out…out of shock…she should be…" the doctor was talking but then he took

Lakshmi's POVI wonder why that lady hasn't called me or visited me yet. It has been three days already and I was really hoping that she would lead us to my brother but she clearly wasn't interested in the money.My parents never acted the same way again…probably because they had given up.Rumors had spread that my brother was dead already and as usual my parents used work as an excuse to cover up their pain.They were barely at home and they didn't even comfort me when I needed them the most. My whole life was completely upside down, nothing seemed to work.I have tried to tell Mia but she just gives me the weirdest answers and telling her doesn't help me feel better in anyway.I sat on my couch and buried my face in my palms, I was crying and I didn't want to hold back the tears any longer."If I was an intruder then wouldn't I have raped you" I heard a familiar voice and shook my head in disbelief before I raised my head to look at the person that
