CHAPTER 29

"How sure are you that she is pregnant?" I asked Cindy, feeling like a fool. So, all this while she had been pregnant and I was stupid not to notice! She didn't look pregnant. Was it because her stomach wasn't showing?

"Sir, I was once pregnant with Daiz," Cindy said, trying to assure me that she was saying nothing but the truth. "She has been to the bathroom frequently since she arrived and her breast is.." she tried to continue but I had caught her shut.

Why didn't she tell me? I was going to wait for her to tell me herself but she wasn't saying anything which was making me bitter and furious. I had almost told her everything when she held her tummy in the car, I had expected her to tell me but she was still keeping shut.

I was going to give her time because I knew the truth wasn't going to hide forever. Marcus stood thinking about what Cindy had said before retiring to bed after a hot coffee.

********************************

I dragged my blanket tighter to my skin. They sure needed someone who I could cuddle with but instead, I was knocked with a huge headache. Yesterday was fun but still tiring. The only thing that crossed my mind after taking the killer pills, was the thought of how Jane is doing?

I walked sluggishly into the toilet to take a shower. I walked downstairs to notice Daiz and Cindy. Daiz was in the dining area doing some holiday assignments while Cindy was preparing some breakfast.

I searched around in case I could find Jane but it seemed she was asleep. I guess it was a pregnancy infection plus how tired she must have been, "hello my superhero?" I said tickling Daiz as he kept laughing hard.

I stopped tickling him immediately I noticed Jane coming downstairs, She looked tired and her eyes peeked swollen. "Good Morning everyone," she mumbled with a yawn as she headed to the kitchen, I looked up a minute to catch sight of her helping Cindy in the kitchen.

I kept peeking till our eyes met and I rapidly took my gaze down with a cough to indicate that I wasn't gazing at her. We all sat down at the table immediately and it was filled with different dishes. Cindy and Daiz always had breakfast with me since Daiz got familiar with me.

He sure was a fun kid and I loved seeing him around.

JANE POV

"Goodmorning Cindy," I mumbled when entering the kitchen. I noticed that she was frying some omelets and also trying to cut some onions, "can I just help out with this?" I asked collecting the knife from her grip.

She nodded with a little smile on her face. "Sorry to ask but whose kid is that?" I asked, slicing the onions into tiny pieces. She looked at me before focusing on flipping the omelet to prevent it from burning.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry for asking," I said, instantly dropping the knife to stare at her but she shook her head with a slight grin showing her set of dimples.

"You don't need to apologize for asking. That Daiz my son," she said, making me grip the knife before staring at him. "He looks cute and quite close with Marcus," I mumbled as I stared at Marcus to notice him glaring at me too.

I promptly brought down my gaze to what I was cutting. The table was set and we all sat in the dining room. I noticed Marcus grabbing a plate before serving Daiz with enough food for kids his age.

I couldn't help but smile at the care he was giving to someone who wasn't his child. He took an extra omelet and added it to Daiz's plate, Daiz only smiled at Marcus, and He was sure to return the smile with a pat on the boy's head.

I didn't have any idea of how to please kids the way Marcus had it with kids. Would I even be able to take care of Noah Jnr? I noticed Marcus cleaning his mouth with the towel laid neatly beside the table before getting up and pecking Daiz on the head.

He stared at me before telling me to go get changed. I got surprised that he was giving me more attention than I had imagined. "I want us to see a doctor," he said as my breath hitched.

I could feel my hand getting sweaty. Why did he want us to see the doctor? Did he find out? "You fell yesterday during ice skating and I was thinking maybe some checkup would do?" he said, making me more nervous.

"No, I'm fine!" I mumbled silently. "Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?" he said and I wiggled my head indicating No. He nodded as both Cindy and he walked out of the door with Daiz behind them, I wouldn't lie they looked like one big happy family.

The whole house fell silent again. The big house was all to me again, I missed the fun we had yesterday and I wish that could happen often.

The memory of when we fell and our lips almost met flashed into my mind and I couldn't help but bit the bottom of my lips. I was happy that he was giving me a happy moment and again scared of the fact that he could find that anytime soon, I sighed heavily as I packed the plate to the kitchen before walking upstairs.

The maid he had employed was going to arrive today. I wondered why he needed them when the house was cleaned, I opened the door as sunshine came running towards me.

“Uhmm, you smell horrible. You need a bath, ” I said, taking her to the bathroom to bathe her. When I was done I too showered and fixed on a simple and plain gown, I took sunshine and hugged her tightly.

“You smell nice sunshine,” I said, hugging her more in gratification. She made some sound like she was trying to commend me for a job well done. I was going to go downstairs when I noticed some bleeding Around my leg.

My eyes almost fell out of their socket in shock. Why was I bleeding?
