Baby's heart beat.

A month later; Anastasia POV: In the past month, we never crossed our paths. I was busy with work, and so was Ryan. However, from time to time, he would call or test me and inquire about my and baby's health. Truth to be told, whenever he does that, I can't help but have warmth elope me from all over. I have a feeling that he will be an amazing dad. He grew up in a lovely family. He always has been loved, and he knows how to love someone else too. "I wanted to remind you we are supposed to be hearing baby's heart beat today." I sent the press button and his answer instantly came. Ryan: Yeah, I do. Will be done with a meeting in 10 minutes. Buckle up. I chuckled as I read his message. "I am already all buckled up." I wrote and did not forget to add an eye rolling emoji in the end. Then, a winky wink came. I smiled and put the phone away. Before he would come to pick me from the office, I wrapped up the pending work and after exactly 30 minutes, Samuel came to let me know abo

Awkward situation.

Ryan POV: I still had that sonogram in my hands although it's been a few days since we got it. I can't proceed with the fact that I am the reason behind this human being and I hate myself for trying to kill it. What if my child will hate me one day for it? "Stop it. It will not pop out of that scanning if you stare at it for so long." Zayn said to me. I immediately put it in the drawer of my desk and turned to him. "When did you come to my office?" I asked him. Because I seriously do not know. "It's been over 15 minutes." He calmly said, and it made me gulp hard. Is he for serious? How I come I didn't know that someone's been in my office for such a long time? He settled on my table and took the paper weight before rolling it in his fingers. "I was trying to let you have your moment with the baby, but patience ran thin." He glanced at me. I could only grit my teeth. "What are you doing here, exactly?" I tried to brush my embarrassment. "Are you serious, bro?" He looked at m

Change of roles.

Anastasia POV: In the morning, when I woke up, I felt aches all over my body. I groaned as I tried to get up and because of the lack of energy; I fell back. My eyelids felt heavy, my throat was unusually dry, and I was practically shivering at this point. Because of the stuffy nose, I was having a heard time breathing. I sighed and tried to call my Mom but my voice never came out of my throat. All I could do was to wait for someone to come and check on me. However, soon after a knock on the door, Mom walked inside. "Ana, why aren't you up? You will get late for work." She said. "Mom." I could barely say one word. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" She rushed towards me after she heard me call her. She put her hand on my forehead to check my temperature and gasped, "You are burning up. Why didn't you tell me?" She scolded me. I smiled in between the pain. "It's not that bad." I whispered. "Really? Did you look at herself? That's why I don't want you to work for the time being. Th

Enlightenment.

Anastasia POV:In the evening, Ryan dropped me back to my home and he made sure I was fine. I exhaled loudly as he tucked me in the blanket like I am some baby. "You don't have to do this." I murmured softly. He simply glanced at me and did not say anything. "I am sorry for wasting so much of your time." I felt guilty. He spent the whole day with me, I am sure that I became a hurdle in his work. "It's okay. I worked from the hospital." He assured me that it is fine. "And you should also stop thinking about work for the time being and just focus on your health. Else I will forget that we aren't married yet and take you to my place. I don't mind us living together." He threatened me. My jaws dropped as I speechlessly looked at him. He glared at me. "Okay, I will leave then. Have some rest." He gently said and ran his fingers through my hair. My eyes flattered at the tingling sensation. He leaned closer and kissed my temple. Mom suddenly cleared her throat. I was embarrassed as I got

Missing him?

Ryan POV:In the past couple of days, my mind was occupied by Ana. I clearly noticed that she looked haggard and weak. Perhaps going through the pregnancy for her isn't easy although she never said anything. "Sir, I have to report something to you." Kevin came to my office and said with hesitation. I switched my attention from the laptop to him and prayed for it to be good news. "What is it now?" "Actually, the branch in Boston isn't doing great. I just heard from the police and got a report that their manager is also involved in the tax embezzlement. The finance is messed up but even the ledger is missing." He gave me a detailed report and it made me cuss immediately. "One thing... I asked you to do one thing, Kevin and this is what you got for me?" I snapped at the pitiful man. "I am sorry, sir." He had his hands clasped together and apologetically looked down. "You being sorry isn't going to do anything. Book a first flight to Boston. I will check it personally." I ordered, "A

Late night delivery.

Anastasia POV:A whole week passed but I never heard from Ryan. Although I tried to figure out his whereabouts from Zayn, he only told me that he is busy in Boston. Furthermore, only 2 weeks were left till our wedding and my fiancée was nowhere to be seen."What if he changed his mind?" I whispered to myself and came to stand at the balcony in my room. 'He never wanted to marry me in the first place.' My insecurities started to engulf me and my hand immediately went to touch my belly. "Baby, what will I do?" I sniffed hard and tried to not crumble down. Since the time of our wedding is approaching, he must be getting wedding jitters. Me and my baby are nothing but a leash around his neck and he must want to escape from it. My heart shattered so hard that even I could hear the sound of it and I was torn apart because I thought that this wedding might work. But I guess, I was being delusional. I sighed and wiped the corner of my eyes. "I am so sorry for being such an incompetent mothe

Couple yoga.

Anastasia POV:I signed up for a yoga class which is for pregnant women. However, when I went there, I found that all the husbands were also there, helping their wives. It was only me who came alone.I nervously bit my lip and glanced at my surroundings. But what I got was a few pity stares and the smiles of sympathy. I know what they mean. They must be thinking that I am a single mother. "Ana, it is great to have you here." The instructor suddenly said to me, I smiled forcefully. "Didn't your husband come with you?" She inquired. "Actually, he is busy with work." I told her half truth and half lie. Yes, there is no doubt that Ryan isn't busy with work but I never informed him about this either. "What kind of a man is he? Shouldn't he make time for his wife and the baby?" A woman who was on my right side chimed in. It aggravated me but I let go of it. "Yes, his wife should be his first priority." Another one added. This time, I couldn't stay quiet, "I am his priority. You want me

Brother.

Ryan POV:I sipped whisky from the glass and glanced at Zayn who has been staring at me for a while now. His judgemental eyes were making me anxious. "What is it, freak?" I rolled my eyes and tried to divert my attention but it was impossible. "You got such a horny a**, bro. I can't believe that you left in the middle of the meeting just to do yoga with her." He pinched his nose bridge as he said. "Shut it." I growled. "And it didn't hurt to wait for a few minutes." "Few minutes?" He was out of words, "It was more than an hour." Zayn exhaled loudly, "You are so whipped for her. Damn!! You love her." He punched my upper arm. "I don't, okay?" I defended myself although I also don't know what these emotions mean. Whenever she is with me, I don't want the time to end. I want to listen to her. It doesn't matter if she is complaining about her day or frustrated because of all those goddamn hormones. But everything seems perfect. It fits flawlessly. "Yeah, yeah. Go and deny all you want

Bachelorette party.

Anastasia POV: I don't get why Beth has to arrange a bachelorette party for me. I can't drink, I can't eat raw food and what's with the strippers? Wouldn't it be weird to get a lap dance with a child in my tummy? Damn! Just the thought of it making me cringe. I decided on the bottle green dress. It had stones embroidered on the blouse while there was a long slit on the right leg. It was long and quite decent and it has been in my wardrobe for a long time but I never got the chance to wear it. After taking a shower and slipping inside the silk dress, I dabbed some makeup on my face and did my hair. Next weekend, I am getting married to Ryan Weaver and this is still unbelievable to me. The sky has already turned dark... Beth said that she will come and pick me up but I denied the offer. So, I asked the driver to take me to the venue instead. I don't know what kind of a place it is. She didn't give me any details. "How long will it take, Steve?" I asked the man because it's been

Weaver wedding-1

Anastasia POV: Finally the day which everyone has waited for was here and just like his mother said it was indeed a 'wedding of the century'. I was even impressed. Well, Weavers live up to their reputation. An outdoor venue was selected for the wedding. Since it was autumn, a comforting breeze was blowing while the faint sound of falling leaves was a natural music which everyone loves. On top of that, the sun rays were making it extravagant. However, the glass was covering the area for the main event from the top. So, it also had an indoor vibe. Luxurious tables were placed for the guests and the stage was covered with different types of roses. Everything was beautiful all in all. After checking everything out, I went to the bridal room to get ready. Beth and Sarah helped me with the dress while some of the cousins of Ryan were also here and although it was my first time meeting them, they were really cool. However, a makeup artist came to do our makeup. First, she did Beth's.
