The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife

She Left With His Baby The Billionaire’s Secret Scandal 320

One Year Later

The doctor's smile told me everything before she even spoke the words.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Shaw. You're pregnant."

Sean's hand tightened around mine, his eyes widening with a mixture of surprise and joy. We'd been trying for a few months, but somehow hearing it confirmed made it feel surreal.

"How far along?" I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

"About eight weeks," she replied, checking her notes. "Everything looks perfectly healthy so far."

I turned to Sean, who was staring at the ultrasound screen with wonder etched across his face. The tiny flickering heartbeat mesmerized us both-a new life, another chance, another beginning.

"We're having a baby," he said, as if testing the words. Then a smile broke across his face, and he kissed me right there in the examination room, not caring that the doctor was still present.

The ride home was filled with whispered plans and quiet laughter. We decided to tell the children right away-they were old enough now to understand and share in our excitement.

That evening, after dinner, Sean and I gathered Aria and Ethan in the living room. At six years old, they'd grown so much in the past year.

"We have some news," I began, exchanging a smile with Sean.

"Are we getting a puppy?" Aria interrupted, bouncing on the sofa. "Emma at school got a puppy last week and it's sooooo cute!"

"Not a puppy," Sean laughed. "But something just as exciting."

I took a deep breath. "You're going to have a little brother or sister. I'm pregnant."

Aria's eyes grew wide as saucers. "A BABY?" She practically shouted the word, launching herself toward me. "When? Where is it? Can I see it?”

Ethan remained seated, processing the information with his typical carefulness. "How does the baby get here?” he asked finally
