Chapter 705 - Feeling Fat

Sayuri looked at her baby bump and felt she was growing huge.

Like, really huge.

Well, it was to be expected for her to gain weight since she had been eating more than usual. However, she didn't think she would be this big so fast. She was only nearing her fourth month of pregnancy yet it looked like she was already six months along.

At least, that's how it seemed to her.

Kyle was sitting beside her in the car, and this would be their first pre-natal visit together. She had only gone for one, which was just to confirm whether she was pregnant or not before coming to confront Kyle.

At the first check-up, the doctor had done all the normal things like calculating the due date, blood tests, measuring her height and weight, and finally, listening to her heart and lungs. The ultrasound was done only to confirm the fact that there was a life within her.

The speed of her gaining weight and the bump getting bigger was a bit daunting, however. Was this normal?

She was glad enough that she didn't have morning sickness, though the smell of any fried food would get her feeling queasy. Hence, it had been mainly oats, fruits, and toast for breakfast. Dian would cook before they arrived home, so Sayuri wasn't bothered by anything then.

Was she eating too much, though? She was eating as much as Kyle actually - and he ate a lot. But she was so hungry all of the time, even if the smell put her off sometimes.

She did have food cravings now and certain food that she couldn't eat. Foods that she craved were a mix of East and West.

Roti canai pisang, or prata bread with banana slices. The banana was sauteed first, caramelizing it before being placed into the prata dough upon cooking.

What she really loved though, was any sort of pasta dishes though it was mainly spaghetti. She could even just eat the spaghetti coated in olive oil, sprinkled with some chili flakes.

That was why there was this huge tub of cooked spaghetti in the fridge, upon which all she needed to do was just dribble the olive oil on it and mix the chili flakes before tucking in.

The foods that she couldn't stomach was fish and anything fried, or cooked with coconut milk. If Kyle wanted to eat those, he'd have to eat it outside and not bring any home.

She stole a glance at Kyle. who was on the phone while busy checking his emails on the laptop. She could hear him bark orders to pull out the surveillance camera footage of the lobby for the last four hours and to send it to his email.

Despite his busy schedule today, he made sure that he would be free to accompany her for the pre-natal check-up today.

She was admittedly nervous about this second check-up.

If the scans were correct the first time, this pre-natal check-up would enable them to see the baby better. The thought of Kyle being with her as the doctor did the ultrasound felt so wonderful.

When they arrived, Kyle was attentive to her and the walked inside. Sayuri went to the waiting room to sit down first while Kyle handled the registration procedures at the nurse station.

Sayuri sat down nervously at looked at the other people in the waiting room. They were all women, who were at various stages of pregnancy. Some didn't even show yet, while some looked like they were ready to burst.

The lady closest to her began to strike a conversation, "First child?"

Sayuri nodded.

"I can always tell," the woman said, patting Sayuri's hand, "You're so young! Don't worry, you'll be fine. The men just knock us up and we're the ones who have to go through the whole thing."

Another laughed, agreeing while stroking her bulging stomach, "So true. Five minutes of work and they think they're the greatest. They can't even follow us for the check-ups."

"You'll get used to it," another commented, "It's normally the first time that gets to you."

Sayuri opened her mouth to say something when the door to the waiting room opened. Everyone looked up out of habit and their mouths went wide open upon seeing the vision that walked through.

They blinked, thinking that they were hallucinating as that dreamboat walked in. Even though he had this cold expression on his face, it only added to his charm rather than take it away.

It was only after he sat down next to Sayuri that they snapped out of it.

"We're next," Kyle said to Sayuri, handing her the cup of water he had in his hand, "Here. Make sure you're hydrated all the time."

Sayuri nodded and took the water gratefully and thanked him. Kyle smiled at her, causing those who were watching, to have their heart beat faster.

They were all thinking about how lucky the woman was to have such a drool-worthy man beside her.

"Is he your brother?" the lady that first talked to Sayuri asked.

"No, I'm the father of the baby," Kyle answered, looking at her.

The lady gulped upon having the full-force of that gorgeous face and dreamy eyes look at her. Her mind went blank at that point.

The others who heard it couldn't help but think, 'Dang. She had *that* to f*ck all the time?!*

Just then, the nurse came and went straight to the couple, bringing them into the doctor's room. The women in the waiting room were surprised and knew then that the couple that just walked must have been someone important to get such preferential treatment.

They sighed and everyone looked at each other.?They all did love their husbands, but everyone couldn't help but feel insanely jealous. Not only was the guy deathly handsome, he actually was here to support her, and had been quite attentive as well.

Some girls just have all the luck.
