1. Uncharacteristic behavior

I tap my feet nervously as I wait for my name to be called. I was currently sitting in the clinic’s waiting room waiting for my appointment.

To say I was nervous was an understatement because I was internally panicking.

This all felt like De ja vu. My second pregnancy and here I was going to my appointments alone. The only difference is that Ethan isn’t able to be present while with Rowan he just didn’t bother coming.

I tried so hard to ignore the fact that I was pregnant until a couple of days ago when I noticed that my waistline was increasing. My baby bump was starting to show and soon everyone will know that I’m pregnant.

I sigh tiredly and make a mental note to tell my parents. I haven’t had the heart to disclose that I

was expecting Ethan’s child. Mainly because he was still their son. It will be really weird for them

knowing that their biological daughter is pregnant by their adopted son.

The whole thing was messed up to say the least, but there’s nothing I can do about it. What’s done

is done. This baby was here whether I liked it or not. There was no going around that little fact.

“I can feel your nervousness all the way to my fucking bones, Ava” his deep voice brings me back

to the present.

I turn my head so quickly that I get a kink. I wince as I stare at him in shock. His grey eyes

piercing mine. He looked as handsome as ever with the only difference being that his face looked

relaxed.

“Rowan? What are you doing here?” I ask him, slowly blinking to make sure that I wasn’t

hallucinating his presence.

He shrugs his shoulder and smiles. I continue staring at him in shock. I think this is the first time

he has ever smiled when he was in my presence. This was probably the first smile that was

directed at me.

“I’m here to support you. I didn’t want you to be alone during your appointment” he simply says.

Something was definitely wrong with him. Why the hell did it feel like a damn scam?
