The Kidnapped Bride

“Indeed she is. But from your looks, I believe that you weren’t aware of her pregnancy.” the doctor made a comment on observing how Javier reacted to her words right now. He was in total disguise, unable for him to find this to be any truth to his ears.

It was too good to be true in his eyes but that didn’t stop him from proclaiming, “Can I meet her now?”

To this, the lady doctor allowed Javier from meeting Jennifer who was already in better condition now. For a while, Javier simply stood outside of the door of the private room that was entirely designated for Jennifer. She lay on the bed inside and he viewed her from the small window available for him through the door.

His eyes scanned through her facial expressions but he wasn’t able to have a clear image. But at the same time, Javier felt a heavy hand on his back, “Congratulations to you.”

“You are going to be a father Javier...” Ellen smiled at his brother-like figure and found it absolutely unrelated yet the flowers bloomed in his heart. There was no doubt that the scar of the miscarriage had left a deep impact on Jennifer’s and Javier’s bonding. Their separation caught Ellen’s eyes as he felt that this was unlikely for their couple’s fight to go to such length.

However, witnessing how worried Javier was when Jennifer was pushed into the emergency room, it struck his brain that Javier was simply being unreasonable in his actions. Despite his past display of hostility towards her, Javier’s heart was still full of his dear wife.

.....

Javier passed Ellen a soft smile before he averted his attention back to see his wife. At this point, a slight glint passed through his eyes as he took a deep breath to calm his rage.s ‘I’m going to be the father.’ that didn’t sit well with him for the next few minutes.

But how was he going to talk with his wife? Javier’s mind ran through dozens of possibilities. Will she scream at him? Is she angry at him for not asking about her well-being for the past few days? At this point, his heart squeezed tightly when his fingers converted into a fist

On the other hand, Javier’s blank mind came out of its daze when Ellen’s voice rang in his ears, “I think Jennifer is also waiting for you to approach her. Take an initiative. After what you have shown to her, I think this is the least you can do for her.”

Javier didn’t think twice before he opened the door of the room. His eyes fell upon his wife who was on the bed in a hospital gown. Her face had returned to its previous color and she let out a deep and relaxed sigh from his mouth. “Jennifer...” hearing her name, Jennifer lifted her eyes to look at Javier.

She didn’t say anything but Javier approached her with slow steps. Coming closer to her step by step, he felt his heart coming out. The stare of Jenifer was sufficient to make his breath stuck in his throat. But he wasn’t able to understand the reasons behind the frown on her forehead.

As Javier stood beside the bed, Jennifer used her hand to intermingle it with Javier’s as she didn’t break eye contact with him even for once. “Javier..tell me honestly. I-Is the child safe?” Jennifer’s soft mumble contained her deep trouble.

She was going through mental trauma on finding out that she was in the hospital. Even though she was the one who insisted on coming to see one, it was still a horror resting on her shoulders to know whether something had happened to her child. All she wanted was to hear out....her child was fine, right?

Javier had taken note of the deep lines which were curved on her forehead. He chose to bend down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead and next on her cheeks. “Don’t worry my lovely wife, you’re fine and so are our children.”

“A-are you sure? Have you asked the doctor to describe them?” She knew him too well. In her absence of her, it was already known to her that the lady doctor must have addressed her pregnancy in front of Javier. And on seeing the moon-like glow on his face, no doubt was left anymore.

Jennifer didn’t wish to hear any bad news. And as a result, Javier enlightened her when he took the seat beside her. “Yes. She said you need nourishment so that the pregnancy can be easy. Moreover, we aren’t expecting one child..” Javier’s deliberate tone got Jennifer’s eyes on the arrow. “A-are there twins!?”

Javier ended up nodding his head which was already a big shock to Jenifer. She immediately brought her other hand to caress her abdomen with tender care. ‘So there are twins..’ and she wasn’t eating well to feed them. How could they not upset their mother when they were hungry and she was going through mental torture with their father?

But Javier had taken note of everything in his mind. “Jennifer, you need not take any tension anymore.”

“But there are many things which are still not under our control.”

“We already have a lot, Jennifer,” he told her straightforwardly without breaking eye contact for a minor second. “Even if a few things aren’t, I will seek them now. I will make sure that everything is fine under my side so that we can lead a lovely life.”

Seeing the sincerity that flashed on Javier’s face, pricked Jennifer’s heart with love. She could feel her mind filled with images of the future as she replied back, “What is going to be sought out?”

“My father’s issues and to know about my mother’s killer. Everything. I will seek it out so that we can live peacefully. Brother can also live peacefully. We have a new life and to protect that new life, everything needs to be settled.” Javier doesn’t miss out on his tone.

He had said that since he is going to be a father, he will not sit idly until everything isn’t settled down. He and Jennifer need to live a peaceful life now since they have to welcome a child.

Javier took Jennifer’s hands into his before kissing her knuckles and caressing her other hand, “Everything will be fun. Give me a few days and I will clean up everything.”
