Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 519: Celebration of happiness

After a yummy meal with her husband, Aria returned to her office with Levi in tow when their eyes landed on the group of secretaries who had surrounded Rose's desk.

Levi was about to look into it seeing Aria worried but the latter stopped, "I will take care of them, Levi. Prepare for the meeting." 

Aria knew Levi prefers to stay out of non-work-related stuff, so she went to the secretaries to know if it was just gossiping time or something happened.

Nearing them, Aria heard the ladies' words and realized they were taking care of Rose who looked… pale. "What happened?"

Aria's words quickly brought relief in the secretaries and they made way for her to reach Rose who now stood up to greet Aria.

A secretary responded, "President Cooper, Rose isn't well from the morning and she threw up after lunch. We failed to convince her to go to the hospital. Only you could help us."

Aria saw Rose shaking her head in denial, "I am alright. President Cooper, no need to go anywhere."

However, Aria turned to a secretary, "The project files are on my table, grab them, and inform Levi to start the meeting without me." Then she held Rose's hand, took her handbag with her mobile, and silently walked out giving no choice for Rose to retaliate.

"Are you pregnant?" Aria asked directly once the elevator door closed.

Rose shook her head and said in confusion, "I don't know. Even though I missed my periods, it can be because of hormonal imbalance."

Aria asked her next question, "Why didn't you tell Finn?"

Rose went to silent mode because she doesn't know why she didn't tell Finn. She was afraid, she didn't fear Finn but afraid of something she doesn't know. She was also afraid to know if she was really pregnant. She didn't want to have any false hope even though they never used protection.

Aria faintly smiled, shaking her head. Probably she was also confused and afraid when she was going to the hospital alone. Even though they loved babies and knew their partner loved them too, it was a weird kind of fear.

Aria was glad, she was accompanying Rose during her confusion as she secretly dropped a message to Finn.

Aria calmed Rose's trembling nerves as she accompanied Rose to register and for testing without telling her that Finn was on his way. She least wanted Rose to panic.

Finn was at the shoot location which was in the outskirts of the city. He just read a message from Aria saying, [I am taking Rose to hospital.] Not a word extra. 

He left everything on Dustin and reached the hospital. His Grandfather Wen had roared at him on the phone saying how he could careless about Rose's health. His thoughts ran wild thinking every possible worst scenario and ran towards his grandfather's office.

He rushed inside to see Rose silently sipping juice, flushed bright red. Rose was thinking about why Grandfather Wen and Aria were hiding behind a screen leaving her alone to inform Finn. Little did she know, they wanted to see Finn over exited without controlling due to their presence.

The sound of the door open in jerk grabbed her attention and blushed more gazing Finn and stood up from the couch placing the glass on the coffee table.

Finn rushed in and hugged her without a word. Rose felt her cheeks burn thinking how to tell. She wasn't the type to make a mystery for him to guess but should she say, 'We are going to be parents.' Or 'I am pregnant.' Or 'You are going to be a father.'

She knew Finn still had no idea why they were in the hospital. She first uttered to calm him, feeling his heart drumming against his chest and chest moving up and down due to unsteady heavy breathing.

"I am fine. Relax, Finn." Her voice was a whisper. She failed to increase the tone. 

Finn cupped her face still thinking she was seriously ill, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. We will find the best doctor for you."josei

Rose bit her lips failing to suppress her wide smile looking at his face full of determination and tone filled with assurance. She wanted to hug him again but knew two were peeking at them.

She doesn't know how Aria ignores the eyes of the world and stands in Alan's embrace, she was still shy to do it.

Finn thought she was forcing a smile at his reassurance and hugged her again as his hand rubbed her back trying to soothe her fear.

Rose tried to speak in his embrace, "Finn, listen to me. I am fine…" She remembered something and shook her head, "No, just a little weak and the doctor told me to completely rest for a week and to be extra careful for the first trimester."

She forgot to say she was pregnant while repeating what the gynecologist told her. Finn assumed the medication followed in trimester format and nodded seriously. "Alright, no need to go to work. Health comes first, I will tell Alia to find a new secretary."

Aria: "..."

She had forgotten Rose might become a housewife to look after her health and babies. She was really going to miss Rose but was very happy for her.

Rose: "..."

For Rose, Aria is a role model. When Aria can work till her labor day and then work from home and return back to work so soon, why can't she do that? Pushing off the topic of Pregnancy aside she and Finn started bantering about the work leaving Aria and Grandfather Wen speechless and also fumed to go and smack their head.

Grandfather Wen sighed and whispered, "If you and your husband weren't there, they would have died single."

Aria shook her head and whispered back, "It's all the magic of our Snow princess."

Zeke Wen tried his best to stop chuckling. Arsh had told them how fluently Arna had blurted out everything in front of Finn without her knowing. But of course, they knew the couple worked on their relationship to make it a success but they were kind of dumb though.

They were ready to stop the bantering couple when the door flung open and Harold Stanley who was in uniform went to Rose and gave her a warm hug, his face brimming with happiness.

Finn felt something amiss. Why is his grandfather so happy that he ever was in his life?

Then he focused his brain away from the health issues and heard whispers and sighs behind a curtain where his grandfather usually checks his patients.

When he focused his attention, he realized it's Aria and his grandfather even though he couldn't make out the words.

He blurted out pulling Rose away from his grandfather, "Are you pregnant?"

Rose put on an unhappy face, "I am not talking to you." She was angry about being forced to leave her job.

Aria and Zeke peeked their heads out hearing pregnant but their lips twitched seeing the couple. "Sigh, why does the celebration of happiness appear in an unbelievable format?" She mumbled remembering she was crying due to Winston Wen's words and this couple is even more different.

The next second, Aria and Zeke grinned, Harold was speechless, 'Shameless... Shameless...'
