Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 562 - Five Hundred And Sixty-two: Their New Sibling

The third point of view:

Although doctors claim even with the most effective birth control methods, there's always a chance for error - after all, it takes just one sperm to fertilize the egg - Reina still couldn't believe it. No, she did not want to believe it. There was no way she was pregnant, she had made sure against it.

"No, not possible," Reina shook her head, "I can guarantee that I feel normal. If I was pregnant, I would know," She was in a state of denial.

"Out of all of us at the table, you two are the only ones who didn't find the food disgusting. Doesn't that say something?" Emily pressed, "I mean, look at Camille, it didn't take her long to accept the reality,"

"Actually, I'm not that shocked. Eden and I decided long ago to try for a child," Camille said, her face turning beet red.

But unlike the happy Camille, Reina didn't find this situation funny. She was not ready to have more children - yet. At least she had made that clear to Niklaus - even though they kept doing it. God, she was doomed.

Thinking about it, when did she last take the shot? Probably two months now. Wonderful - note the sarcasm. She had just been two busy after the attack by Miguel, followed by the kids running from home, George's provocation, and now, Emily's wedding. It slipped her mind.

"Why don't you two just have an over-the-counter pregnancy test instead of making guesses," Judy suggested, "After all, there's a high chance we might be mistaken," He unintentionally hinted that Reina might have a strange taste bud.

"You're right," Niklaus supported him immediately. All this while, he had kept quiet knowing a wrong word and his angry wife would have his head off.

Although he wanted more children, Reina wanted the opposite and he respected her wishes?- even though they couldn't keep their hands off each other - while hoping for some miracle.

Now the miracle he prayed for finally occurred, Niklaus couldn't help but feel he somehow jinxed her luck. He was unhappy that he made her unhappy.

"Yeah baby," Niklaus said to his wife, trying to make her feel better, "For all we know, it's a wrong assumption,"

"Yeah, a wrong assumption," Reina allowed herself to be fooled by those words because the truth is that she felt it as well - there was something unusual about her body. But then, it was better to pretend than to acknowledge sometimes.

And just like that, both women found themselves in the bathroom with a pregnancy kit test ready for the biggest discovery of their lives.

"Are you nervous?" Camille asked Reina who gave her a stupid look.

She explained quickly, "Sincerely, you look more vexed than nervous as if you already know the result?"

"Well, it's best to be in denial, it numbs," Reina retorted, scowling at the testing stick as if it was responsible for her problem.

Camille chuckled wryly, "I'm more scared than nervous though. I mean this is the first time I'm giving birth and I heard stories plus the fact I don't know what the future will look like? I don't even know if I'm fit to be a mother," she pointed out her worries.

Reina snorted, "Well you don't have to worry about anything except the part where an average 7.5 Ib human tears through your vagina, and in my past situation of having twins, that's double of that pain. So yeah, best experience ever," She said sarcastically.

However, Reina added, "But then, the result is always worth the pain. You brought a beautiful being into the world - a child you'd give your all. But that doesn't mean I'll want to go through that ordeal again,"

"So, are we checking the result or not?" Camille asked her. They've observed all necessary procedures for the test kit and now, the recommended waiting time has passed.

"You can go ahead first," Reina told her and Camille turn around with her eyes closed as she picked her stick from the sink. After two seconds, she peered down at it and as expected, two lines showed.

"I'm having a baby!" she shouted.

"Wow, congratulations," Reina told her sincerely. Just because she doesn't want to have one, doesn't mean she won't be happy for another.

"Eden will be so happy, he's going to be a father," Camille smiled.

"You forgot to add Anabelle,"

"Oh yes," she was amused, "She's wanted a sibling all through her life,"

Suddenly, Camille glanced up at Reina questioningly, "It's your turn, or I can help you if you're not ready to -"

"I was born ready," Reina intentionally didn't look straight at the stick until she brought it up to her face.

Two lines.

Reina gulped, it happened again.

"What does it say?" Camille was anxious to hear the news.

Reina simply showed her the stick and one should see the way Camille's face widened in joy.

"Oh my God!" She shrieked, "We are going to be birth partners," She shook the unresponsive Reina who had frozen from shock.

"Come, we have to go share the good news!" Camille grabbed her hand and led her back to the dining room where the others sat, waiting for the news.

They didn't need to share the information since their expression told it all. Niklaus wondered if he should be happy or sad, he was in a dilemma. This time, his wife would be giving birth to a child he'd witness his or her birth and childhood - Allen and Ailee grew seven years of their life without him.

Behind them, Eden hugged his wife Camille. They were going to have a baby! He was going to be a father?! He has waited God damn long for this miracle to happen.

"Congratulations to both of you," Cecil said to both pregnant women.

"Thank you," Reina accepted the woman's compliment. So then, what? She didn't want a child and she got one, what was she going to do? Hate her child for coming at the wrong time? How then does that make her any different from her late mother, Angela? Reina had no choice but to accept the reality.

"How do you feel?" Niklaus asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"For a start, overwhelmed. This is unbelievable and happening too quickly to be real. I don't even know what the kids would think of this?" Reina sighed.

"You don't need to worry about a thing, I'm here with you all the steps of the walk unlike before. Also, the kids would love their new sibling, I'm sure of it," Niklaus assured, brushing a kiss across her forehead.

"And speaking of which, you both need an ultrasound especially Reina," Emily said the issue of a sudden.

"Me? Why?" Regina pointed at her chest, confused.

"You birthed twins previously, what if you give birth to twins again? I mean, it's not entirely impossible," she claimed.

But Reina in question went pale. Not, not another set of wild twins.
