After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

The next day, Ashley was no pleased to hear that he had yet another doctor's appointment with Doctor Bailey. "I'm perfectly fine, mommy!" He complained as Grace got him ready for the day. "Why do I still have to go."

"Because if you don't, you'll have an awful stomach ache," Owen said as he walked into the living room, pecking Leonica on the cheek as he did. "Isn't that right, dear?" She nodded. "That's right,"

"But I'm already healthy," Ashley argued, his lips forming a pout as he stared at his mother with the most adorable puppy dog eyes. "Please mommy, let's skip this one."

"No can do, Ashley," She shook her head as she lowered herself to his level, dismissing Grace as she took over the task of adjusting his sweater. "I know you hate needles, sweetie, but you just gotta do this one for me. It's gonna be the last one, I promise." She stuck out her small finger.

"Really?" Ashley was hesitant, but the reassuring look in his mother's eyes quickly washed away every spec of hesitation.

"Yes, I promise." She responded, hooking her fingers with his when the child brought his rather small finger forth. "Alright, let's go."

Owen smiled and picked Ashley up, carrying him against his side and with his free hand, taking Leonica's hand as they exited the mansion, leaving behind Grace who bowed and bade the goodbye.

The drive to the hospital was short, with Ashley sitting on his mother's lap as Owen drove, humming along with her to the music playing on the radio.

Once there, Ashley was ushered into the doctor's office where Doctor Bailey awaited, his usual smile plastered on his face.

"How are we feeling, young man?" He asked, watching as Leonica lifted Ashley onto the bed.

"Fine," Ashley answered.

"That's great. Well, today's visit should be quick," He turned to Leonica and Owen flashing them a smile that only one of them knew all too well. "Ms. Romero, Mr. Lee, could you please step out for a short while.

Leonica hesitated as usual, not wanting to leave Ashley alone. But Owen gently gave her shoulder a squeeze, shooting her a look that told her Ashley was going to be okay.

"Alright," She nodded and kissed Ashley on the forehead. "I'll be right outside, okay."

"Okay, Mommy." Ashley smiled and waved at her as she and Owen stepped out of the room, closing the door behind them.

As soon as they did, Leonica turned around to see Gabriel approaching them.

"Leonica," He greeted, stopping in front of her, eyes quickly scanning her figure and noting that the bandage on her leg had been removed. "You're doing better. That's good."

She flashed a smile, tensed but polite. "Yeah, thanks."

"How's Ashley?" He proceeded to ask, barely giving Owen a glance.

"He's okay," She turned towards the window, watching as Doctor Bailey carried out the usual procedures on the young child. "The doctor's with him right now, so-" She allowed the rest of her words trail off, fully aware that the whatever else she had to say wasn't new
