Dangerous Desires Novel

67 Elisabeth’s Child 

Luke. 

When I hung up, I looked at Tia, and my stomach churned. I really did not want to say anything, but I knew I had to be at the hospital for the birth of the baby and the DNA test. 

“What is it, love?” Tia asked me, and I squeezed her hand. Caleb knew something was up with how he looked at me and motioned Kimberly to excuse us. They both left immediately, and I looked at my wife. 

“Elisabeth is in labour, and she is currently in the hospital,” I said to Tia, and she got up immediately. 

“What the hell are we still doing here, Luke? Come on. We have to leave now. Whatever it is we had planned for today must be postponed.” she said, and I was surprised by her reaction. We dressed, and I told Caleb I was going to the hospital. He wanted to come, but I said he should stay home with Kimberly and his daughter. It really wasn’t a big deal. It was either mine or not, but she was definitely leaving my house after this. 

Tia placed a call to Gail while I drove us to the hospital. 

“Gail, please cancel my meeting for today. I won’t be available for conference calls. Delegate the work to the managing director.” She said and hung up. Tia placed her hand on my thigh and rubbed lightly while I drove. 

“Calm down, Luke. Whatever the situation might be, we will get through it together. If the baby is yours, then we will take it from her. I have told you I am willing to care for the child. It will be horrible if she leaves to be with fat Joey with the baby. She is sure to maltreat the baby since she won’t be getting much financially. Don’t bother yourself,” she said reassuringly, but I could not calm down. That baby will forever be a reminder of Elisabeth’s trick. As much as I never denied the pregnancy, I prayed the child wasn’t mine while we drove to the hospital. 

As soon as I parked the car, Tia got out, and I seemed to be moving slower than she was. She noticed and slowed her pace down. She held my hand and squeezed lightly. 

“Luke, I am not mad at you, and I won’t let her trouble us. Please cheer up.” She said, and I plastered a fake smile on my face. 

We went straight to the maternity ward. Bart was there, and to my surprise, big mouth Dr Green was in attendance. I wanted to punch the bastard for spewing the nonsense about Elisabeth being my mistress to my father-in-law, but I knew this wasn’t the time. I still planned on dealing with him for breaching the doctor-patient confidentiality and spreading rumours and lies about his alpha. 

The bastard approached me. 

“Alpha Moon, Miss Barnes requested you in the delivery room with her. She is almost fully dilated,” He said, and I refused. “Go, I will be out here. It is just for today, Luke, I am here; I am not going anywhere. This is the last time,” Tia said confidently, but I didn’t want to go there. 

“Please, Luke, for the sake of that baby, go. I am here; we are here,” she said, referring to herself and our baby. I reluctantly nodded and went into the delivery room.
