She wanted to hold onto Eden’s hand telling him not to cry because both she and their child were fine;
however words wouldn’t come out of her mouth either way.
The doctor suggested letting Minnie rest first so they could end this tearful situation between them all together later on when everyone calmed down again.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed about crying in front of others earlier on himself too, Eden closed the door behind them, saying he would stay with Minnie while asking everyone else go next door where their baby boy lay waiting for them all excitedly!
The little guy looked very cute including large eyes, which indicated that he will be quite handsome when grew up someday soon enough!
The name was given by Eden. It was Brandon McCoy, and the pet name was Bran. He hoped that the little one would be prepared for everything in life.
Of course, this name became a huge psychological shadow in Brandon’s heart for a long time.
Some self-righteous children used their most innocent appearance to say the most vicious words in the world.
Fortunately, with proper guidance from those around him and a group of people who protected him,
Brandon did not suffer too much trauma to his young mind.
But these were all stories for later.
A group of people returned from the island trip and confirmed that mother and son were safe before heading home separately.
Tilly and Ben had originally planned to have a check-up since they were already at the hospital.
However, after asking them some basic questions about their health status, the doctor told them to come back another day for further examination. So they went home to rest first.
When Tilly got home, she thought about it for a while before deciding to test herself first. She was already used to doing so regularly anyway; even if there wasn’t anything wrong with her, she wouldn’t be worried either way.
With this decision made up in her mind, Tilly went into the bathroom with two pregnancy tests just in case…
After Ben came back, he went straight into his study room where he received an important work call.
When he came out again later on, he saw that Tilly was still inside the bathroom with its door tightly shut. So, he knew what she must be doing inside but didn’t rush her or disturb her by knocking on it right away. Instead, he was waiting patiently outside until she finished up on her own time…
Tilly thought Ben was still inside his study room, so as not to disturb him while working, she stayed inside without coming out immediately after finishing up testing herself like usual.
Her hands trembled constantly as excitement overwhelmed her entire body.
She didn’t know how else to describe this feeling except as something that could take away everything from her at any moment…
Finally ten minutes passed when Ben raised his hand and knocked gently on the bathroom door.
Tilly jumped at first but then slowly opened it after hesitating briefly…
When she saw Ben standing there and looking at her quietly, all of sudden any urge or impulse within vanished without explanation…
It felt like something had blocked off Tilly’s throat entirely, preventing any sound from escaping no matter how hard she tried. Her eyes filled up quickly with tears which streamed down uncontrollably once they started falling.
Ben noticed what happened almost instantly though there was brief moment where confusion clouded over his thoughts before clarity returned just as quickly.
Without saying a word, Ben hugged Tilly directly.
At this moment, Tilly finally couldn’t hold back, and burst into tears.
Ben patted Tilly on the back, listening to her cry, his eyes moist too.
He even forgot when was the last time he shed tears, but at this moment, it was difficult to control his emotions.
Tilly calmed down and stepped out of Ben’s embrace, handing him two items with clear lines on them.
It was obvious that they were pregnancy tests.
Ben couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. After all the trouble they went through without getting pregnant, they went to an island for three days and suddenly Tilly was pregnant?
“I just knew it,” Tilly said. “God must have heard my voice. Otherwise, how could this happen so blatantly?”
Ben was speechless. He had seen his fair share of storms in life, but he never expected pregnancy to be such a challenge.
Now that it was confirmed that Tilly really was pregnant, Ben suddenly felt like it wasn’t real.
He could already imagine himself and Tilly’s little one in her belly going against him.
Tilly rubbed her belly and looked at Ben. “Ben, let’s go back to the hospital again. I can hardly believe it.”
After being disappointed too many times before, she didn’t dare think too much now.
Ben felt the same way so they both agreed to go back to the hospital immediately after confirming her pregnancy test results were positive.
After being examined by doctors at the hospital again and confirming that Tilly really was pregnant this time around, Ben was even more speechless than before.
He didn’t keep this news from anyone either; he announced it directly in their group chat.
After congratulations poured in from everyone else, Walter joked, “Why did you guys turn childbirth into a relay race? One after another without any breaks!”
Most people weren’t using birth control anymore except for those like Mikayla who was still young enough where contraception was necessary.
But getting pregnant was truly an art form; some people got anxious while others didn’t want children yet end up having accidents anyway.
Eden finally recovered from shock when he saw Walter’s comment on his phone screen then typed out without thinking, “Let’s start a game! Let’s see who will be the last one giving birth.”
Mikayla immediately responded, “That’s not fair! It’ll definitely be me or Beata!”
Silently watching the screen, Beata was speechless.
Did it have something to do with her?
She was still a minor!
Eden continued, “You two don’t count because if you get pregnant, then we’re not just adding another life into this world – we’re exchanging lives.”
The idea was that if either of them got pregnant, they might keep the baby, but the man won’t be sticking around.
Ash was struck dumb.
He sent a series of emojis and said, “Mikayla will reach legal marriage age next year. We’ll get married and it makes sense to suspect we’ll have a baby.”
Eden said, “We can talk about that next year.”
Matilda said, “You’re already thinking about getting married without even proposing to her first. Are you ready for that?”
Aimee said, “She’s right.”
Kelvin said, “I agree.”
Ash said, “@Averi, look at them!”
Averi said, “If Aimee agrees, count me and River in too. We’re all family after all.”
Ash sighed; he couldn’t catch a break from his colleagues.
Mikayla was laughing so hard that she could barely hold her phone.
She turned to Ash and kissed him on the cheek. Mikayla said, “Don’t worry, Ash. I’ll bring my ID card with me on my birthday so we can get our marriage certificate.”
Ash threw his phone aside; he knew his girl was always looking out for him.
Everyone else was just teasing him.
After Ash’s interruption, Eden paused their betting game and included Mikayla and Ash in their bets as well.
Eden said,”Come on now! Place your bets! You won’t lose or be fooled!”
Except for those who were already pregnant or had children, Walter and April, Miles and Matilda, Averi and River, Damion and Ivy were the options that were open for betting as well. The bet would double if one guessed correctly among those listed above.
Tilly snuggled up in Ben’s arms saying, “I shouldn’t have rested those three days ago. Maybe we would’ve been one of the options, and we’d definitely win.”
Ben chuckled when Tilly spoke. He raised his hand to pat her head saying, “It looks like you’re not worried about having kids anymore.”
Tilly pouted, “Well, it’s already inside my belly. What else can I do? I’m not afraid now.”
Ben laughed softly, kissing Tilly gently. He thought that her girl was so cute.
His adorable girl would soon become a mother. Ben couldn’t help but feel time passing by too quickly.
Tilly moved back into Ben’s house after confirming her pregnancy.
The maternity stuff that Mariam had prepared for Patrick had passed from Aimee to Casey, then to
Minnie, and now, to Tilly.
Ben was not worried about anything else, but he was worried that Tilly had a more eccentric temperament, and she will do whatever she thought. Pregnancy is a long process. It was okay if she didn’t suffer, but if she didn’t feel well, with Tilly’s temperament, he had to put her in front of his eyes and stared at her.
When getting out of the car, Ben didn’t hold Tilly’s hand as usual, but supported her like a queen.
Tilly was speechless at how cautiously he moved.
She looked at Ben, and although she liked the way he treated her like this, she really felt that this was a little too exaggerated.
Especially, when going up the stairs, Ben was still reminding, “Be careful.”
Tilly looked down at the stairs, then up at Ben.
Finally, she couldn’t hold back and said, “Ben, I think you are a little too nervous.”
Ben looked down at Tilly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him at all.
“Or, let me carry you up, okay?” Ben asked.
Tilly suddenly felt that it was over, that when Ben came back from the hospital, the tension mode that had not been activated was activated.
Then her future days may really be difficult.
Tilly said tentatively, “Ben, are you going to take care of me from now on?”
