Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 139~ Heartbeats

Doctor Steve paused, hesitating. He looked at Ryan and Lora before asking, "Should I tell you the news here or you want to hear it in private?"

Lora and Ryan shared a look and when Lora gave him a small nod in acknowledgement, Ryan glanced at the doctor and said, "Like Dad said, we are family. You can say the news in front of everyone." "What's the good news, Doctor?" Charles asked. His lips suddenly curled into a grin. "Is it what I think it is?"

All eyes were glued to the doctor as they waited for the news.

Doctor Steve cleared his throat and announced, "Mrs Kingsley, you are pregnant. Congratulations!"

Dead silence fell upon the place for a few seconds before Charles exclaimed, "Yes! Another great-grandchild! Well done, Ryan!"

Ryan hugged Lora, his heart thundering in his chest as he stated, "Lora... this is wonderful news! I love you so much!"

The rest of the family showed their excitement and congratulated the couple. When they were done, Ryan looked at Lora whose eyes were blurred with tears and smiled at her.

Now that the initial joy had passed, he thought about their predicament and what it would mean for Lora to have a child in the coming months.

Was he going to make her a single mother again? Guilt crept into him at the thought.

"We are going to have another child," he remarked, sadness creeping into him. Would he be able to live long enough to meet his third child?

He was thrilled to find out that Lora was pregnant but knowing he had limited time made his heart ache. Ryan was worried that he might not be there when their third child is born.

"Hey," Lora said, cupping Ryan's face. "I know right now it seems like all hope is lost but I think our baby will bring us the miracle we've been praying for."

Ryan nodded. He grabbed Lora's hand from his face and placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand as he remarked, "You're right. The twins and our new baby need me, I don't intend to die anytime soon."
