Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

Chapter 827: Clara's pregnancy

When she chuckled and nodded her head, Ben beamed in excitement, "I am going to become a father." Lifting her up, he swirled her around. "I am going to become a dad."

Squealing in shock, Clara placed her hand on his shoulder. "And I am going to become a mom."

"Oh, I shouldn't be lifting you like this." Carefully placing her down, he guided her towards the edge of the bed. "You should sit down first."

"It's okay, I am fine—"

Cutting her off, he inquired, "Did you see a doctor?" Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "Let me take an appointment from aunt Anna first, we need to make sure that everything is okay and you are healthy too." Taking off his tie off, he continued, "Taking a day off today, I will take you to the hospital."

Placing her hand on his cheek, she asked, "You are happy right?"

"Do you even have to ask babe? I can't stop smiling." Kneeling right in front of her, he sighed, "I can finally tell someone 'No kid, you are grounded' in a very bossy manner and he will listen to me."

"Now why do you want to ground our kid?" Placing her hand on her stomach, she chuckled, "What did the baby do?"

Shrugging his shoulder, he answered, "I don't know, I am sure the baby will do something worth grounding for an entire day or week."

Without waiting for her reply, he quickly got up and exclaimed, "I'll go tell everyone about it."

He then rushed out of the room without wasting any time.

….

Downstairs.

"Mom, dad—" Ben shouted before running down the stairs.

"Now don't run in the stairs like that Ben, you are a big man and yet—"

Cutting Quin off, Rose frowned, "Stop scolding him, he is a married man now."

"You can scold me as much as you want later but first I have something to tell all of you," Ben beamed.

Looking at his over excited expression, Ming chuckled, "You look so happy Ben, what happened?"

"It seems like brother Ben won a lottery or something," Qiang chuckled.

"Don't forget to give me a share of that," Singtan stated.

"It's more precious and valuable than a lottery." Without waiting for their reply, Ben announced, "Clara is pregnant, I am going to become a dad."

Qiang squealed in joy and stood up. "Ahhh I am going to become an aunt."

"And I will become an uncle—" Scrunching his brows, Yushen frowned, "Oh God, I feel so old now."

"I'll go congratulate sister Clara." Without wasting any time, Qiang rushed upstairs.

Placing her hand on her chest, Rose gasped, "I will become a grandma soon."

"This is so exciting, congratulations Ben." Giving him a hug, Ming smiled, "I am so happy for you and Clara."

Patting Ben's shoulder, Quin proudly grinned, "I am so proud of you son."

….

Upstairs.

Clutching her stomach, Qiang placed her hand on her mouth before rushing towards her room. She then dashed into the washroom and puked her gut out. She was running towards Clara's room to congratulate her when her stomach churned.

Washing her face, she wiped it with a clean towel before walking out of the washroom.

Crashing on the couch, she tied her hair into a rough bun and slapped her forehead. "This is why you shouldn't run right after eating," she scolded herself before leaving the room, ignoring the uneasiness she was feeling.

….

Downstairs

Giving Clara a hug, Rose sighed, "Thank you so much honey, there was a time when I thought Ben would never make me a grandma. Trust me, I had plans of pressuring Sam and Nuan to give me three grandkids each."

"I will take an appointment from aunt Anna—"

"I already did, she asked you both to go there right now so you both need to leave," Singtan informed.

"Oh alright, we will leave soon."

…..

Nathan and Adriana's place.

Lying down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn on her bloated belly, Adriana was busy enjoying her favourite T.V show. She had just stepped into the fifth month of her pregnancy and everything was going great. The initial complications had minimized and Nathan had been taking care of all the time.

Just then, her phone which was sitting on the table beeped twice.

Dusting the crumbs off her hand, she quickly picked up her phone to check the message. Placing her hand on the mouth, she gasped. The bowl toppled down and crashed on the floor spilling everything all over the place.

Composing herself, she was about to reply when her phone started ringing. Without wasting any more time, she quickly received the call.

"P-Please stop, I'll do as you say," she stuttered before wiping her tears away.

…..

Hospital

"That is great news mom, I'll congratulate them after they come here," Mian exclaimed before hanging up the call.

"Who was it? Your mom?" Zian inquired.

"No, your mom. Brother Ben and sister Clara are pregnant," she beamed.

Raising his brows, he chuckled, "Well, that was fast. Brother Ben is good."

Smacking his shoulder, she sighed, "Stop saying that, I am happy for them."

"So am I honey, but don't you think it's too soon to have a baby? I mean they just got married."

"Unplanned babies are the best." Placing her hand on her waist, she frowned, "And what do you mean by it's too soon? What will you do if I get pregnant tomorrow?"

Widening his eyes in shock, he snapped, "Wait what? What do you mean by—" Scrunching his brows, he pursed his lips, "Did we use protection last night?"

"I don't know, that is your department,??? she casually answered.

Thinking for quite some time, he breathed a sigh of relief, "We did, I remember using the last box." Kissing the top of her head, he added, "I'll grab a few more boxes on my way home, I'll congratulate them over the phone."

"Hmm don't forget and drive safe." Giving him a peck on his lips, she smiled, "I'll see you tonight."
