Ever since Megan’s last miscarriage, she basically didn’t hope to get pregnant ever again. After all, the doctor told her it would be difficult for her to get pregnant since she had miscarried twice. Therefore, she had been mentally prepared before marrying Jimmy, knowing he already had a son, so she wouldn’t have to struggle living up to the Astley Family’s expectations.
“It’s true, Mrs. Astley. Congratulations!”
Megan placed her hand over her stomach, amazed by the fact that there was life inside her womb. Roland’s death might have changed her perspective as she began to respect and look forward to the birth of a new life.
“You need to be careful and make sure you have enough rest from now on. After all, you have a history of miscarriage, which shouldn’t be taken lightly.” The doctor went on to tell Megan the things she had to take note about. After that, Megan held the test result in her hand, feeling as if everything was just a dream. When she returned home, she saw that Jimmy was back, much to her surprise, although the man didn’t even bother to cast an eye on her.
Nonetheless, Megan wasn’t really bothered by the man’s indifference because she couldn’t wait to share the good news with Jimmy. “I’m pregnant, darling.”
Jimmy spat out the water from his mouth as he was taking a sip of it. “W-What did you say?”
“I said I’m pregnant! Look at your excited face! You’re going to be a dad soon!” Megan showed Jimmy the test result.
Upon skimming through the report, Jimmy joyfully exclaimed, “Haha. Thank you so much, God! I’m no spring chicken anymore, yet I’m going to be a father again! Haha! This really calls for a celebration!” At the same time, Megan also shared Jimmy’s joy as this was the good news that everyone needed to hear amidst the recent trying times.
“Is it a boy or a girl?” Jimmy rubbed Megan’s belly with his palm excitedly like a kid.
“It’s too soon to tell. Even the doctor couldn’t tell much from the ultrasound, so I’ll go for a check-up after some time.”
“I’ll go with you. But you need to be careful at the same time. Let’s hope we have a girl because I will have a son and a daughter then!”
