30. very happy

"I can't wait to imagine there will be a junior Brian. Little prince or princess. Diana, can we find out gender now?" Diana just shook her head in resignation.

"Of course not. She's only in weeks pregnant. So i can't tell."

"I have to contact Elise to tell her, this happy news. Please double-check carefully and check whether the content is good or not." After saying that Brian walked out of the room with the cell phone stuck to his ear, calling Elise as soon as possible.

Elena is still silent in her seat. Her lips carved a smile seeing Brian's enthusiasm and happiness when she heard the news of her pregnancy. Elena was also pleased with the news. There will be a small, growing, and dependent creature living in her body for nine months. Elena's hand gently stroked her flat stomach. Her child is growing in her womb. But ... the baby doesn't belong to her.

Somehow Elena's happiness is not as big as Brian's. Perhaps, if she were in a different state right now, Elena would also scream out in joy. I wish this were Diego's son. Suppose she is pregnant in marriage. And supposing Elena wasn't bound by that crazy deal. Maybe this time Elena is the happiest woman.

"You are okay?" Elena looked up when she heard Doctor Diana's question. Elena nodded and smiled at her.

"I don't know what happened, Brian just said if he would touch you and the child will be his and Elise."

"Are you sure you will give them your child?" Doctor Diana looked at Elena closely.

"No mother will want to separate from her child. But ... I'm sure they can take care of my child. Besides, I already got my payment. I shouldn't want this baby."

Doctor Diana was silent and could not say anything more. She got up and invited Elena to lie down on the gurney for further examination.

....

Elise arrived shortly thereafter. Brian who was waiting in front of the doctor's office Diana greeted her with a big hug. Repeatedly muttering if he was going to be a father in a moment. And Elise is going to be a mother. Brian's euphoria of happiness rubs off on Elise. She is also happy. Even though she is not the one who is pregnant with Brian's child but in the end, the child will be hers. Son with Brian.

Brian invited Elise to come into the room. Diana has just finished checking out Elena. And the woman was sitting on the gurney when they entered. Elise immediately hugged Elena tightly.

"Thank you, Elena. I'm very happy. I'm happy to hear about your pregnancy." Elena hugged Elise equally tightly. She smiled at her sister's bright face.

"My future son," whispered Elise in Elena's ear. Those two words struck Elena's heart. Pinch slowly. There was a small heart that didn't want to hear those words spoken from Elise. Elena shook her head lightly to ward off the strange feeling.

"This is my first time seeing the two of you together. I even find it difficult to tell the two of you apart." Diana's words made the two beautiful women turn their heads and smile.

"Of course, you can tell Doc, Elise is much prettier than me." Elena and Elise are twins and very similar but everyone can still tell them apart. Because Elena's skin is a little darker than Elise.

Diana just smiled and sat in her oversized chair. Ready to explain whatever is needed by the pregnant woman. Elena, Elise, and also Brian listened carefully to what foods to avoid and what to eat.

....

Brian drops Elena off in front of the apartment building. After the car left, Elena walked to the nearest stop. She wanted to see Diego.

Elena walked down the hospital hallway. She saw Mira who had just come out of Diego's ward. When Mira turned her head towards her, Elena smiled.

"I just changed Diego's IV." Mira lifted the empty IV in her left hand.

"Thanks, Mira. Thank you for helping me look after Diego, as long as I don't look after him."

"You don't need to be grateful. I'm happy to help you."

"I don't know what to repay you with." Mira rubbed Elena's shoulder.

"You don't need to repay me, Elena. I help you because we've always been friends. Besides, when you were at home you also helped me a lot."

"But the assistance is not as big as your help to me at this time."

"You don't have to think about anything else. Right now you have to stay strong and tough for Diego's sake. You also have to take care of your health."

"Mira." Elena is speechless. She was touched by Mira's help to her. She hugged Mira tightly. Until now Elena has not said anything about her agreement with Elise and Brian. Mira also doesn't know if Elena has reunited with her twin, Elise.

"You better come in and see Diego. I have to get back to work." Elena let go of the hug.

"Once again, thank you."

Mira smiled and walked away. Elena went straight into Diego's treatment room. She stood beside the bed. Staring at Diego's face so calm and peaceful. Elena kissed Diego on the lips for a long time. As if permeating the kiss. Her hand stroked Diego's cheek, which was starting to grow fine hair.

"When will you wake up, darling?" Elena was silent for a long time hoping Diego could hear the questions and answer them. But nothing matters. Diego remained silent, not giving the slightest sign.

Elena sat on the chair beside the bed. She took Diego's right hand.

"Darling, I just came back from the checkup. And I'm ... positive pregnant." Elena's hand rubbed the back of Diego's hand.

"Elise and Brian were very happy when they heard the news. If this child were your son, I would be very happy too." Elena paused to look at Diego's face closely.

"Darling, when did you wake up?" Elena's tears fell down her cheeks. And it grew louder and louder with sobs filling Diego's lonely ward.
