The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 8 Family

“Are you the father?” A nurse asked the man who had brought the woman with a very large round belly into the

emergency room.

“Yes-”

“No! He’s not the father! He’s my friend!” The very pregnant lady managed to clarify that matter even though she was in intense pain.

A flash of hurt flickered through the man’s eyes but the pregnant woman was none the wiser.

The nurse felt awkward. “Um who’s going to sign the form-”

“I will. Please give it to me.”

“Where’s the father? This form should be filled in by the father.”

The woman snapped at the nurse. “I am the MOTHER and FATHER!”

The irritable pregnant woman was none other than Tessa Hilton and her ‘friend’ was Harry Winston.

Tessa was very big now. She had carried her child to full term but she didn’t know the gender because she was afraid of going for an ultrasound. Her stomach was bigger than normal. She thought there was something wrong with the baby so she decided to find out after giving birth.

The nurse gave her the form and she filled it in, albeit with difficulty. Tessa then glanced at Harry and gulped,” I don’t want to burden you with this.”

The truth was, she didn’t intend to keep getting Harry’s help. It would mean that the things she owed him would keep piling up. Besides, the information she was writing was what would be added to the birth certificate.

Harry’s gaze softened as he stared at her. He had combed his hair into a manly bun and he was in a powder blue shirt with navy pants. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He looked every bit the man of every woman’s dream.

“Don’t worry about that. I’m your friend, if I can help, why not? But since you’re not comfortable, it’s fine,” he said.

A wave of pain rushed through Tessa and she let out a scream. “I think the baby is coming!”

Elena was undergoing treatment so she couldn’t be here for her daughter. However, seeing that Harry would be waiting outside, Tessa felt warmth creep into her heart. She had been suspicious of him but he turned out

to be a very good friend.

Whilst in the labout room, Tessa felt like she was going to die. Her mother had prepared her and told her about the pain but she didn’t expect it to feel like she was teetering between life and death.

“Ok, Miss Hilton. You’re fully dilated. You can start to push!”

The doctor didn’t know how relieved Tessa felt to hear those words. She had been in active labour for seven

hours, feeling like she was being split into two but there was no sign of dilation.

“Argh!” She groaned, pushing for the last time. A baby’s shriek echoed in the room and Tessa suddenly sighed in relief.

Pushing that one out tore her.

“Congratulations. Baby boy number one, born at 11:00 pm.” The doctor placed the baby on Tessa’s chest but her mind reeled when his words sank in.

“Baby number one?”

Before she could understand what was going on, a soul-tearing pain ripped through her and she cried out.

“Ok, this one is impatient. Push- oh, she’s out! Baby girl number two, born at 11:05 pm.”

Tessa was stunned. She gave birth to twins! It was shocking. Nevertheless, she loved her babies. She gazed down at them lovingly as they lay on her chest, grabbing each other’s tiny hands.

“The last one. Oh. This one’s a shy one. Ok, Push…” The doctor’s voice was calm as he instructed her once

more.

Tessa’s eyes widened in shock but the pressure on her core made her give a big push just as she felt another baby come out. She was sure these three tore her pretty badly.

“Congratulations. Baby girl number three, born at 11:10.”

Tessa’s eyes were filled with love as she held her three bundles of joy to her chest. She might have gone through a lot of pain to give birth to them but it was all worth it. They were so beautiful.

‘My treasures.’

She lowered her head and gave each of her babies’ little heads a kiss before saying, “You three and your grandma are my only family now.”
