Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

AIDEN

I didn't know the prospect of being a father- or rather, the process of being a father again was this exciting.

As Ana and I watched the ultrasound, my gaze fixed on the tiny life we've created, my heart beamed with so much joy.

How could something I couldn't touch make me do happy? Perhaps, it was because of the woman I'd made it with.

I stole a glance in Ana's direction. Her lips was covered with her right palm. Her eyes looked misty but I could see the happiness in them.

I briefly wondered if she was happy about the baby or she was just glad that Amie finally had a bigger chance of living.

Speaking of Amie... Ana and I had arrived early at the hospital so we had extra time on our hands. I decided to say hi to Amie. She still looked at me like I was a stranger. I didn't like the way her wide careless laugh and grins waned and became polite whenever she turned my way or remembered that it wasn't just her and her mom in the room.

I itched to tell her that I was her father but as infuriating as it was, I respected Ana's choice. Besides, I hadn't been able to stop wondering if there would even be any difference when eventually she knows the truth. She talks so much about her stepdad that I doubt she would welcome another dad.

"Aiden?"

I blinked my focus back on Anastasia. There was a slight smile on her lips but her brows were furrowed in concern.

"Yes?"

Her gaze roamed my face. "Are you okay? You've blanked out since the doctor stepped out."

"Oh," I muttered as I glanced around the room. It was now just us.

"Why did he leave?"

She shrugged, "he wants to give us alone time with the baby."

The baby.... Shouldn't it be 'our baby'?

I looked away from her probing eyes and fixed my gaze on the monitor. "It still feels surreal..." that I'm having another child with you.

"I know, right?" She sighed. "The process is beautiful. The best feeling is when it moves in my stomach." There was a distant smile on her face as she pressed her palm to her flat stomach.
