Planned Baby novel Chapter 2

I can't contain the happiness that I am feeling right now. I have two children in my womb.

Thank you, Lord!

After my check-up, I first went to a drug store to buy my doctor-prescribed vitamins and milk.

I also called my secretary to put my check-ups on my schedule.

"Wait! What do you mean by schedule on your OB? Who is pregnant?" My secretary Luna asked, a bit confused.

Luna is not only my trusted secretary but also my best friend. I never had a close friend when I was in school. I was so focused on my studies and family that I had no time to make friends.

And I am not regretting anything because I know that in the short time that I had spent my time with my parents, I knew that I was able to make the most of it.

I first met Luna a year after I took over the company. I was so serious with my work. I never had time for myself.

I'm also very strict when it comes to my employee. The reason why most of my employees are scared of me but Luna is different.

Even if I keep on shouting at her, it seems like it does not affect her. She is the only secretary that stays with me. She eventually became my most trusted person, and we became friends.

She often invited me to go out, and she also taught me how to have fun. However, I'm not really into parties, unlike her.

"I'm pregnant," I answered her.

"What?! How did that happen, Ellie?!" She asked curiously.

I never told her about my plan because I'm sure that she will not agree to it.

"I'll explain it to you in the office. Bye." I said, then I ended the call.

I looked at my watch.

It's almost dinner time already. I don't want to cook now. I have maids, but they all stay out. I prefer to live alone. I'm sure that this time, my maids were already done with their work.

I often eat outside, that is why they don't bother to cook my meal. They are already done with their work at two in the afternoon.

I park my car in a mall near my condo.

I was walking to a restaurant when I passed a boutique for babies.

I smiled and held my belly.

My babies. If I were to choose, I would like my twins to be a boy and a girl. My son will protect our princess. I never had a sibling, and I always wish to have an older brother.

"You want to go shopping, babies?" I whispered to them.

I was very excited as I went inside the boutique. I was fascinated by the place. I wanted to buy all the things that they have in this store.

I like the dress and other pink stuff for babies. I also like outfits for male babies.

It made me more hopeful about the gender of my twins.

"How many months is the baby?" A sales lady asked me.

"It's still in my womb," I told her.

"Do you already know the gender, Ma'am?" She asked me again.

I shook my head. "I'm only six weeks pregnant."

She smiled at me and nodded. "It will be better to buy plain white clothes for your baby for now. You can use it regardless of gender."

I nodded in agreement. "You have a point. I will do that, but I'll roam around you don't need to follow me. I'll call you if I need you."

She smiled and went to the counter. She took a paper and went back to me to give me the paper that she took.

"Here, ma'am. This list will guide you in the things that you should buy for your baby." She said in a respectful tone.

I smiled at her and nodded. I look at the paper she gave me; it's a checklist for pregnant parents.

Newborn basics, nursery linen, bathing and grooming accessories, feeding and nursing essentials, nursery furnishings, and travel. The checklist is very detailed. It will surely help me as a new parent.

I put the checklist in my bag and started to look at the items in the store.

I chose some sleeveless shirts and short sleeve shirts, and it was based on the things I remember from the list. I took six pairs; for now, I am planning to repurchase them when I already know the gender of my twins.

I was engrossed in choosing clothes for my babies when I heard someone talk behind me.

"I didn't expect that I will see you again. Especially in this kind of place."

His voice is familiar. My eyes widen. Don't tell me?!

I confirmed my assumption when he went in front of me.

What is this guy doing here?!
