Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion

Chapter 407: Confirmation and Comfort

"No…I…" I began saying but I had to stop.

Tears welled up in my eyes and my chest suddenly felt tight. All the emotions that I was holding in all started pouring out at once and it was too much for me to handle. I covered my mouth and sobbed. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried from a mixture of relief, happiness, confusion, excitement, anxiousness, stress, and so many other emotions that I couldn’t quite name or identify.

"Congratulations, Malissa. You’re going to be a mother soon," Hayden whispered tenderly to me as he pulled me into his embrace.

I hugged him back tightly as more tears streamed down my cheeks. There were so many things that I wanted to say to him, but I just couldn’t find the words. I was also crying so much now that I doubt that I would be able to form the words even if I could find them. All I could do was nod my head at his words. Hayden smiled at me lovingly before he kissed both my cheeks softly in turn.

"Hay…den…" I sobbed his name.

"You don’t need to try to say anything. You probably won’t make any sense…" Hayden said with a small laugh.

I closed my eyes in bliss as I enjoyed the warmth of his secure hug. Somehow, I could tell that Hayden was very happy too that I was pregnant with our child.

…

Despite my desire to head to the hospital right away, Hayden insisted that I get enough rest first. As a result, we ended up heading to the hospital the morning after. Hayden was very swift in booking an appointment for us at one of the leading gynecologists.

"She’s my friend so you don’t need to feel so nervous. She’s a very nice person and a very talented doctor in her field," Hayden told me reassuringly.

I walked by his hand with my hand in his along the hospital hallway to our appointment room.

"I see. I just hope that everything will go well…" I mumbled.

"It will go well. Sara is very talented. She’s also taking care of Amelia and her pregnancy," Hayden explained.

"Really?" I asked, in slight surprise.

"Yup. It makes sense. After all, those two are close friends. They’re polar opposite of each other, though. You’ll see that for yourself soon enough," Hayden said without bothering to explain any further.

I wondered what he meant by that, but I was soon to find out for myself. When we arrived at Sara’s office, she was already ready to receive us.

"I see. Well, we’ll just do the standard blood test to confirm whether you’re pregnant or not," Sara told us with a smile after Hayden explained the positive result from my home pregnancy test kit.

"Thank you," I thanked her with a smile.

Sara seemed like a nice person inside and out. She was soft spoken, and I could tell why she didn’t seem like the type of person who would be the angel’s best friend. Amelia was a big personality, and her looks were outstandingly eye-catching. The opposite applied to the small and extremely timid doctor that sat in front of me.

"The nurse will help draw your blood. After that, we’ll send it to the lab and I’ll make sure that you get your results in a few days’ time," Sara told us with a warm smile.

"That long?" I inquired.

How am I supposed to survive with waiting that long?

"Well, if Hayden doesn’t pull some strings that is how it’s going to be. There are queues in the laboratory so…" Sara replied before smiling a little at us.

I looked with pleading eyes towards Hayden.

"We’ll wait. Other people are waiting too," Hayden replied curtly and without any hesitation.

"Well, that’s just that. Good luck, Malissa. Since the home test kit is extremely accurate these days, it’ll be safer for you to assume that you’re already pregnant. So, rest plenty, eat healthy, and let Hayden take care of you," Sara suggested.

"Thank you…" I thanked her again before we took our leave.

…

The few days passed by with Hayden sticking to my side like glue. Miraculously, I got his permission to oversee some work at the gallery with the condition that he came with me and that I could only spend a couple of hours per day there.

Although Sara advised me to think of myself as pregnant, it still felt unreal to me, and I just couldn’t quite believe it until I got the confirmed test results from the hospital. My mind couldn’t focus on anything else much and I couldn’t move on from wondering about my pregnancy. Working at the gallery was the only thing that kept me sane.

"Congratulations. You’re around 8-weeks pregnant now," Doctor Sara declared with a bright smile on her face.

"Really?" I exclaimed.

Even if the pregnancy stick told me that I was pregnant before, I was still shocked when told that I was already 8 weeks along. 8 weeks, that means that I’m already 2 months pregnant…

"Yes, really. Congratulations to you both. This baby will be a good playmate for Amelia and Harvey’s baby for sure," Sara said with a shy giggle.

I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was smile as I placed my hand on my still-flat belly.

Hayden escorted me out of Sara’s room because it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to operate well for a while due to the shock. My mind was in a daze and my entire body felt light like I was just floating around. Even when we made it back to the mansion, my mind was still floating around in an unrealistic world.

"I can’t believe that I’m pregnant…" I murmured to myself.

"Really? With how much we’ve been doing it, I’m surprised you didn’t get pregnant sooner than this," Hayden replied before he smirked at me.

I blushed wildly at Hayden’s words as my entire face felt hot. His words completely pierced my bubble, and I returned quickly back down to earth. I am now pregnant!
