Semua Bab The Billionaire's Baby Mama: Bab 21 - Bab 30

BETH- PRESENTToday is the day my baby’s paternity is determined. Luckily, it is a Saturday, so I don’t have to deal with Mia and Stacy’s trite comments about my weight and distraction at work. I didn’t even know that I was adding weight! I had tried to get Alex to agree to accompany me to the hospital, but she had been too busy dealing with work and nursing her broken heart; I still feel guilty about that one, even though I know that I shouldn’t. Hopefully, the results will clear things up. I cross and uncross my legs several times while I wait for both males to arrive, and pretend that I am not nervous or scared out of my mind. The hospital is beautiful, frequented by many celebrities. They had taken steps to deviate from the normal sterile white environment of hospitals by painting the walls a cher

BETH- PRESENTI can't believe it, I was so sure!I re-read the mail displayed on my screen for the umpteenth time, waiting to see if the details will change. But nope. Still the same. I saw the mail late last night and I ignored it because I was not ready to deal. Even now, especially after reading the message, I am still not ready.My phone has been ringing incessantly, and after the fifth missed call from Chase, I finally put the phone on silent mode. The doctor says I'm anemic, but who cares about that? I'm having Beck's child! I wonder if my baby will have his eyes, or maybe his smile. My brain is scrambled. I cannot pay attention at work. Throughout the day, I find myself absently rubbing my stomach with a mixture of joy and bewilderment; so much so that one of my colleagues asks me if I had a belly ache. I chuckle.There is another mail in my box, one from a certain Mr. Cruise. Seeing as all my encounters with him have been anything but smooth, I have been avoiding opening it. M

BETH- PRESENTWell this is a surprise!When was the last time Chase kissed me with such abandon? Like his next breath depended on it? I cannot remember! The way he holds me, like I would disappear if he lets me go for even a second is both comical and heart wrenching.This is what I always wanted, a barely banked passion that spoke of the depths of his feelings. The emotions on his face are raw, and it causes a tear to slide down my face.“No tears, Beth, not here. Never again with me.” He pulls away to wipe the tear but I pull him right back.Finally, I have Chase the way I always wanted hi

BETH- PRESENTHumiliated does not even begin to describe how I feel right now. I watch Chase's retreating form in mortification, remembering the gentle, yet firm way he turned me down. If I wasn't pregnant, I'd try to drown my shame in alcohol.What had I been thinking? What had he been thinking?Did he really not want me because we aren’t together, or does he not find me desirable anymore. I shake my head to dispel the thought. If it is true, I only have myself to blame. How can I expect him to want me when I am carrying another man’s child? Needless to say, I have a terrible night's rest.There is a media van in front of his building this morning. Its occupants do not notice me until I am safely behind my wheels and pulling away. How did they know I was here? Maybe they were waiting to interview Chase. If that's the case, are they harassing everyone I know? I need to check on them then.I manage to get into my office building undetected by going through the service entrance just beh

BETH- PRESENT“I lost my job.” I cry into the phone the minute Alex picks up her phone.What a fool I had been! All those years of avoiding Alex, and I am right back where I was in highschool; laying my troubles at her feet!“Calm down Martian, where are you? I will be right over” She replies.“I’m at home, about to devour a litre of rock road ice cream, cause my life is now a rocky road!” I exclaim, then start to cry.“Give me some minutes, i'll be there.”I nod even though she cannot see me. Rocky road indeed; and to think I believed that I was having luck this morning. Curse Mia and her meddling! I should have just let things be, but I had to know the names of my colleagues that complained about me. Turned out to be team Mia! If I resume, I will have to deal with her. When, not if, my brain corrects. I shovel a chunk of ice cream into my mouth and let my tears flow. So, a part of me believes that this is it for me at Ophelia’s. I've had a good run, I shovel another spoon into my mo
