My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 411

Chapter 411
“What is it?” Elliot asked.
“Five years ago, we… we had a baby together.”
Elliot had one hand in his pocket as he stood in front of the French windows in the study, and when he heard what Hayley said over the phone, his eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”
“Our baby didn’t manage to survive, but I was looking through my stuff and I found the sonogram from all those years ago. Our baby.” Hayley let out a heartbreaking sob. “I lost the baby at three months… I’m so sorry for not being able to keep him.”
He was shell-shocked. He never thought that he had hurt Hayley more than she let on five years ago, and he didn’t ever expect her to have gone through a miscarraige.
“I didn’t know that I was pregnant at the time. I was always so overworked and tired, and by the time I found out I was expecting a baby, the fetal heartbeat had stopped.” She was crying even more mournfully now on the other line as she went on to say, “It was all my fault. I didn’t know I was having a baby. If I did, I would have done everything I could to bring the baby into this world.”
“Stop crying,” Elliot urged gently. “That’s enough now. Don’t beat yourself up over this; maybe this is just fate at work.”

“I get really cold whenever winter comes around. The doctor mentioned that it’s a side effect from the miscarriage. Elliot, I want to see you, right now..” Hayley pleaded, “Can you please come over and see me?”
He frowned. “Right now?”
“Yes, right now. I’m really, really unwell, and I want to see you. Please,” she begged.
“Okay, I’ll go over now,” he agreed. He couldn’t believe that Hayley had suffered a miscarriage that left her with such brutal side effects.
Presently, it was evening time, and Anastasia was resting in her bedroom when Elliot pushed the door open to come in. “I need to head out for a while. Mrs. Collins will come by later to make dinner.”
“Oh, okay,” Anastasia replied with a nod.
Elliot’s dilemma was clear in his obsidian eyes as he gazed at her. He didn’t want her to know that he was going over to Hayley’s place because he didn’t want to hurt her.
“What time will you be back?” she pressed.
“A little later than usual.”
“Alright then. Go ahead.” She didn’t want to intrude too much upon his personal life either.
He gave her a long look, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, over at Summit Mansion, Hayley flew into her room and sat down in front of the
nity. She happily grabbed her cosmetic bag and began to put on her make-up so that she looked ready to welcome Elliot.
