Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 100

Walking back and forth inside the master bedroom, Ethan was incredibly eager to know the results. For a second, his eyes were glued on the two bags of pregnancy tests he bought.

He walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. He asked his wife, "Honey, are you sure two is enough?"

"Yes, honey! Two is enough!" Samantha said out loud behind the door.

Minutes passed, and Samantha finally came out of the bathroom. She had a gloom on her face and she hid the pregnancy test behind her back.

Ethan was unsure what was the holdup. Moreover, seeing the melancholy expression on his wife's face, he feared the results were not in their favor. He was already determined to return to making love to his wife.

"Ethan, I'm sorry to tell you this... but." Just by those few words coming from his wife, Ethan's heart sank.

To his surprise, however, Samantha said the opposite to what her expression was giving. "This time around, you are going to have to go through all my struggles in carrying a child."

Samantha finally showed him the pregnancy test, reflecting the two red lines in each. She showed a wide grin on her face and resumed, "Because you are going to be a father again!"

For a second, Ethan froze. His heart raced, and he wound up gulping down his own spew. He cleared his throat and asked, "This is real, right? You are pregnant."

Samantha nodded and said, "I chose the best brands. I'm sure they are real."

"Yes!" Ethan immediately embraced Samantha, lifting her off her feet and spinning her around.

"Ethan! Ethan, put me down!" Exclaimed Samantha as she giggled at her husband's actions.

When he settled his excitement, Ethan felt his eyes water. He pecked on Samantha's forehead and said, "We are going to be okay. You are going to be okay."

Samantha equally felt wetness on the corner of her eyes and answered, "Ethan, with you by my side - your encouragement, love, and faith, I know I will be fine."

She looked up at him and reached for a kiss on the lips.

Closing her eyes and resting her forehead on his lips, she added, "I love you, hon. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Sam," Ethan answered. "Let's believe in the miracle of life. Our baby will help you fight this illness."

"Ethan, I believe," Samantha closed.

Immediately, the next day, the couple went to a doctor to have Samantha checked.

The doctor confirmed she was pregnant. However, much development is still needed. The pregnancy was assumed to be still in its third week.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Wright. You are indeed pregnant, but since it is still too early, I recommend that Mrs. Wright return to visit me after two weeks, and from there, we can see the baby's heartbeat," said the doctor after facilitating an ultrasound.

"I'll give you vitamins to help the fetus' development and please, please, eat healthy for the sake of your forming baby, and as well, to ensure that the Kannareth disease does not manifest," added the doctor.

The gynecologist had to be made aware of Samantha's condition, especially for future preventive measures her infectious disease doctor may give her.
