The Runaway Lover by Kyzyl Mhy (beach read book .TXT) 📕

Chapter Three 

“What?! How did this happen?!” Jasper furiously asked. 

Tina sighed and looked down. After telling Kassie and Roxanne, she decided to go and join Jasper and his wife for dinner to tell him about her pregnancy, and he obviously isn’t please with the fact that his sister got knocked up by a complete stranger. 

“Sex. Jasper. Sex.” Heart, Jasper’s wife, replied. “She had sex, and obviously if you have sex there is a high possibility of getting pregnant especially if it’s an unprotected one.” She added. 

“I know that!” Jasper scoffed. “I know how human reproduction works!” He added. 

“Then why did you ask at the first place?” Heart sarcastically replied. “... and mind you, Jasper. I am not pleased by how you are raising your voice at me.” she warned. 

Jasper balled his fist and sighed before shifting her attention back to his little sister. “Who did this to you?” He calmly asked but there was still a hint of anger in his voice. 

Tina slowly raised her head to meet with his gaze. “It’s a drunken mistake...” She answered. “I do not know him.” She added. 

“How could you not know?” He asked in disappointment. “How could you have unprotected sex with a stranger?” He added.  

“I understand that you’re disappointed, but we’re already grownups," she sighed. “If you’re worried that I might regret this later, I assure you that I won’t.” she said. “Just for this once Jasper, let me stand up for my actions.” 

-Tina- 

“This baby might be a product of my rash decisions... but it’s a blessing.” I said as I reached for my flat tummy. “... and I wanted this.” I added with a faint smile on my lips. 

Jasper looked at me and I saw him sigh before he stood up from his seat and walked out. A felt a pang of pain in my heart. I understand that Jasper is upset, but it hurts seeing him turn his back on me.  

“He’s just surprised...” Heart spoke. “Jasper loves you, and I’m sure that he can’t stay mad at his precious sister for a long time,” she smiled. “Let’s just give him some time.” She added. 

I then looked at her and gave her a small smile. Maybe she’s right. Jasper just needs some time to process things. 

“Anyways, the food’s getting cold. We should eat.” She smiled and I nodded. “Do you already have cravings?” she asked. 

“I’m pretty much fine with anything,” I shook my head and smiled. 

“Oh! That’s great!” She cheered. “Most pregnant women I know are usually picky eaters...” she chuckled. 

Heart and I peacefully ate dinner. She kept me entertained by asking questions and I would gladly respond to them, and it somehow made me forget about Jasper and I’s misunderstanding.  

I stayed for a while after dinner, and helped her clean up hoping that Jasper would come and talk to me but he didn’t.  

Uncle Jasper and mommy are not in good terms right now, but that does not mean that he hates you little one. 

When I arrived home, I immediately walked my way to the bed room and laid down flat of my bed while staring at the ceiling. I took a deep breath and sighed as I slowly closed my eyes to try and get some sleep, but every time I do that the handsome stranger’s face flashes in my thoughts. 

I blushed.  

Come to think of it, my child’s father has good genes so I’ll child would probably have some of his gorgeous and handsome face.  

- 

A few months later... 

Tina was smiling as she looked at her reflection on the mirror – she was wearing a cute maternity dress which her friends had sent as a gift to her. Her almost nine-months-old baby bump was pretty big and obvious which meant that she could barely bend down to put on some shoes. 

Her heart was filled with excitement as she was starting to approach her due date. She’ll finally be able to hold her son in her arms and dress her with the baby clothes that she and Jasper bought a few weeks ago – she and Jasper had reconciled during the first few months of her pregnancy. 

“Are you excited?” asked Heart, who was standing by the doorway with a tray of snack for her. 

Tina smiled and nodded. “Yes... and I’m also feeling a little nervous.” She replied. 

“And if there is someone who’s more excited to meet the little one, it would be none other than his Uncle Jasper...” Heart said and they both chuckled. 

“Hmm? What about me? I heard someone say my name!” Said Jasper who had just entered the room. 

Tina chuckled as Heart shook her head and laughed at her husband’s sudden appearance. Jasper then walked his way to embrace his wife and plant a kiss on her cheek as his hands travelled to feel her five-month-old baby bump.  

Tina smiled as she watched how her brother embraced his pregnant wife. The biggest factor that brought them to reconcile with each other was the fact that Jasper’s wife also became pregnant, so now he has to take care and accompany two pregnant ladies to their prenatal checkup. 

But Tina’s smile did not last for long when she suddenly felt a pool of water travel down to her thighs.  

Did I pee on myself? She asked herself, but then she realized that it was her water broke when it was then followed by a contraction. 

“Uhm... guys?” She spoke to call the couple’s attention. “I need to go to the hospital...” She added as she started panting. 

- 

Jasper and Heart waited outside the delivery room while the doctors were helping Tina to give birth. 

“O-Oh..dear!” Tina panted as she gripped on to the steel rod while she tried to push along with her contraction every time the doctor says ‘go’. 

She was clearly feeling tired from all the pushing. The surroundings were starting to spin around and her vision was becoming a little blurry. However, she managed to keep herself composed. 

“I can see the baby’s head.” The doctor spoke. “It’s crowning. Just a little more push and we’re almost done.” she encouraged.
