The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 175 Trial 

Hearing the smooth sound of Peach‘s heart beating in his ear was comforting, and Elijah ran his fingers through her hair slowly, enjoying the gentle sensation as she lay in the comfort of his arms on the hospital bed. 

A soft smile crossed Peach‘s face as she snuggled closer to him, and he chuckled at how cute she was, cuddled in his arm, and he gently ran his hand down her arm before letting it rest there on her stomach. 

“I feel huge.” Peach whispered, meeting his eyes with a pout. 

Feeling the warmth from Peach‘s abdomen, Elijah‘s palm relaxed against her skin, and he could only imagine with a smile on his lips, what it felt like for their child to be growing inside of her. 

“It feel like days ago that you were complaining that you were not showing and now look at you... glowing with your bum.” Elijah mumbled, rubbing her bare stomach slowly. 

“I can‘t believe little Munchkin turned seven months two days ago ...” Peach giggled softly, closing her eyes and nuzzling into his chest.

Absent–mindedly, Elijah kissed the top of her head and then mumbled, “I can‘t believe it either that Jewel Trial day, and I have 

to leave you again.” “I understand why you have to though... You had to be in Syldavia for Elmer‘s case, then Cora, Amelia, Eli and Matthew, Tommy, and now, it is Jewel‘s turn...” Peach muttered, turning her head slightly to glance up at him with a sad look on her face. “You should leave early before you miss your flight.” 

Sighing, Elijah knew he didn‘t want to leave that bed... to leave her 

again. These past few months had been hard for him to bear since his days had been consumed with court cases, one after another and he could hardly spend as much time as he wanted to with her. It felt like he was missing out on the pregnancy, and each time he travels and gets back, her bum has grown just a bit bigger than the last and it leaves him with bits and pieces of regret. 

“I hope she will get a longer sentence than twenty–plus years as her children did. For what she did to my grandfather, the Hayes name, and my father, I want her to pay.” Peach spoke softly, stroking her hand over his leg. 

“I am hoping for a life sentence for her,” Elijah added with a sigh. Then he pulled away from Peach, getting off the bed, and then immediately frowned when he saw her trying to wake up too. 

“Doctor Harry said that you should be on bed rest at all times and not strain or put pressure on your body,” Elijah said immediately, looking at her worriedly. “So can you please lay back and rest?” 

Slowly, Peach got back into the hospital bed, looking over at him wearing his shirt, and then she suddenly grasped, making Elijah‘s heart dropped, and he moved quickly towards the end of the bed,” What is it?” 

“Munchkin is moving,” Peach cried, lifting her pajama blouse again for him to see her stomach. A smile instantly spread across Elijah‘s lips as he stared at it, feeling his heart skip a beat as her belly moved again, and then Peach grabbed his wrist and rested it on the spot. 

For the very first time, Elijah felt his child moved against his palm, and he felt his chest tighten, and tears stinging in his eyes, but he blinked them away. 

Slowly, Elijah pulled his hand back and then looked away from her, saying, “I should get going.”

When Elijah turned his back to leave, Peach stared hard at him and said, “If it ever gets to that question, Who to choose… Little Munchkin will be your answer, right?… Right, Elijah, you will choose our baby?”
