Dane’s Irresistible Desire

“How’s my baby, doc?” I asked the doctor who just finished my ultrasound.

“Your baby is so active.” I hold my tummy because of what the doctor said. It must be because his dad and I were also active when we made her. It should be so she can slap her sister when she grows up, so only now must he be strong and active so that she can have a fight when she grows up.

“Thanks.” I got up and then adjusted myself.

My baby is seven months old. It’s only two months and he will be out. I’m happy and sad. I’m happy because I’m having a baby, sad because I haven’t told her father about her yet.

But I can’t keep up with him now that he will be a daddy to others. He’s already there and he looks happy there because he doesn’t even look at me when we meet. It was as if the love he told me about had suddenly disappeared now that he was going to have another child. I can no longer feel his love.

I will not let him surround me with my daughter. I’ll take Ace to Canada when she comes out so even if he finds out that Ace is his daughter, he still can’t see her. He will take care of his life. I hope she doesn’t look like him.

I really think then that when I found out I was pregnant, I told him right away before he went home. I hope not before he found out that he got someone else pregnant, she knew mine first.

I hope he goes to me first and if he found out he got pregnant another, at least I knew he would choose me because I know he loved me before. I then regretted why I even rode what Dylan said Cooper and I were married to.

But I am wondering, who is his other girl? Do I know her?

“Miss Dy?”

“Huh?”

“I’ve been calling you.”

“Oh, sorry. I’m just thinking. Are you saying something, doc?” I always think of that asshole Wallace. As if he’s handsome, ok fine, he is.

“Nothing, I’m just calling you because you’re stunned.” I just smiled at her and then got off the hospital bed.

“Thanks for your help, doc,”

“I’m just doing my job.”

“I’ll be back next month, doc,”

I said goodbye to the doctor and arranged the bill. Since it was early, I decided to go to the mall so I told the driver to go straight there. We went to the Phoenix mall because I wanted to relax. Just hang around like that to breathe. Try to pamper me and forget about Wallace.

We were in the parking lot when I suddenly remembered something. I was just shaken up because I remembered this place. The cinema, this parking lot where —-

“Ma’am,” the driver called to me. “We’re already here.” I know we are here. I didn’t just go down immediately because I remembered something. ‘Stop flirting, Dane,’ I thought I could still forget what had happened.

“If you want to roam around the mall just feel free. I’ll just call you when I want to go home,” I said to him and then went down.

I decided to just take a walk first and look around and maybe find someone who wants to buy. Until I landed in a spa. Out of the blue, I entered. Manicure and pedicure but put colorless. When it was over I just went for a walk. Not getting tired. The doctor gave me the advice to take some walks also because it helps to lower the child. The important thing is not to get tired.

I stopped at a children’s store. From here, I saw a blue crib and I immediately thought of Ace. I was about to go inside the shop to buy the crib if ever there is a pink one when I saw Wallace standing beside the crib. He caressed it and then kicked it. He sat down to check the bottom.

Is he thinking to buy the same for his other baby? Instead of entering, I just stayed outside. I’ll come in later and look for another crib. There are probably many better ones out there.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I saw Wallace stand and have a smile. Out of curiosity as to who was with him I remained standing. Is the mother of his child with him? Who is she?

I feel my heart aches when I saw that girl she calls. Is that Erika? The one with him when he brought my car. But why not a belly is not big? Seems not pregnant? They talk and they laugh when soon someone approaches them.

It’s Isabelle who comes closer to Wallace.

It was as if I was stabbed when I saw Isabelle’s belly was big. Slightly bigger than me. The normal size of seven months, mine is just really small. My tears were shed because of what I saw. Wallace pointed to the crib and Isabelle nodded even though Erika gave a thumbs-up and the three of them laughed. Isabelle even caressed the crib and then hugged Wallace. Wallace smiles and hugs her back then strokes her belly then calls the staff and talks.

When the staff left. Wallace and Isabelle talk again as well as Erika. The plastic of these two caterpillars. That crib of yours. It’s not beautiful and looks cheap and easy to break.

My tears won’t stop and I just grabbed my stomach. Wallace touches Isabelle’s tummy again. He even put his ear to its stomach. That’s when I averted my eyes and then left.

So, Isabelle is the mother of his other child? We were both pregnant and our children were the same age. He even admitted to me that he loved me and then got pregnant with someone before leaving. But do I have the right to be angry?

I sat on the corner in the mall and there cried. I knew I shouldn’t be doing this because it would affect my baby. But I really couldn’t help but get hurt. Because I hope that Wallace would do to our daughter what he did to Isabelle.

I hope he is with me now. Hopefully, we’re the ones buying Ace’s stuff. You’re really an ass, Wallace. You really don’t have a child with me even though you know I’ll insist it’s really not yours.

“Diana?” I wipe my tears and act like nothing happened when I hear Wallace’s voice. How did he know it was me?

“Oh, hi!” I greeted him. I also noticed that Isabelle was not with him. “Are you here too?” I asked to pretend I hadn’t seen him.

I was devastated when our gaze was right. My heartbeat quickened. This is not the first time I saw him since he returned. It also started when I found out that he would be a father to others but the effect he had on me was still the same. From then until now it hasn’t changed even though I know he’s no longer mine and won’t be mine anymore.

“Yeah, I bought something for my baby,” he replied. I tried to hide the pain. “Are you ok?”

“Yeah, I am.”

“Are you sure? Are you in pain and do you look like you’re crying?”

“No nothing, I just sat down because I’ve been walking. I just yawn that’s why I am in tears.” He nodded but didn’t seem convinced. “Anyway, I need to go,”

“You want me to drop you home?”

“No, I am good,”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, my driver is outside.”

“Ok,” When I turned around, I simply wiped away my tears. I really miss him but it looks like we really have no hope. I really want to hug him. If I could tell him the truth? What if I tell him about our baby. And I will say that Cooper and I are not really married. That he is the father of Ace, my daughter. I am sure he will not deny it because he knows how much I love him.

We can just be friends. I will not take him from the mother of his other child. I can be fair as long as he only knows about our baby. He can be the father of both his children. I will not demand anything of him. Even his presence. He has the right to know about Ace because he is the father.

“Wa —-” I am planning to talk to him so I face back him. But I didn’t finish what I was about to say when I saw Wallace wave his hands. When I looked who it was. I saw Isabelle waving at him also smiling with Erika.

I stopped calling when I saw him walking closer to Isabelle. She is waiting for him with a smile on her lips while he walks toward her with a smile also. Who am I to mess with them if they both look happy. What if Wallace had already fallen for her because she would be the mother of her child. And he knew he had no hope in me.

I silently walk away from him. That’s all we really are. I’ll just let fate make way for Wallace to know the truth. I touched my stomach while crying.

“I’m sorry, Ace, Mommy loves Daddy so much that I’m hurt by what I see. I love your Daddy so much that I can’t take away his happiness. I don’t want to make it difficult for your Daddy Ace so I prefer not to tell him the truth, Daddy. Sorry if mommy son is selfish and Daddy is always thinking. I love him so much because you are so formed. Don’t worry you have daddy and uncles, right?” My baby kicked as if I understood. “I will give you all my love, Ace, even if you don’t have a daddy.”
