CHAPTER 56 - PREGNANT FOR REAL
“How long do you think it would take him before he comes back with my food, Laura?” Kara asked the elderly nurse Nico hired to care for her while she was in the hospital.
She was growing impatient due to anticipation. She had been drooling over those foods since yesterday.
The nurse shook her head and looked at the time.
“It was just over five minutes since Mr. Bernardi left the suite. Even though the nearest fast food is just in the lobby, it would take him at least ten to fifteen minutes to get back here.”
“Has it only been five minutes? It feels ages ago.” Kara grumbled, caressing her stomach.
Last night, she could have satisfied her craving if Nico did not show up and started a fight with Marco. Their squabble cost her her food.
“I am so hungry. I could eat a horse.” She declared, and the nurse smiled fondly at her.

It was too good to be true.She was so sure that she was going to lose her baby and cried herself to sleep every time she thought about it.“What are you doing?” Nico wrapped her hand with his to keep them from pinching her flawless skin.Kara sucked on her lower lip before she replied, suddenly feeling shy.“I just could not believe that our baby…” She touched her tummy reverently, and her facial expression took on a special maternal glow that blinded Nico Bernardi on the spot.His gaze softened. “I understand how you feel.”Kara’s eyes started to brim with tears. “Are you really happy about the baby?”“Of course.

He held her breath, afraid his actions would disturb her sleep.He breathed a sigh when Kara slept on.Every time Nico looked at her innocent face, his heart would stop.He did not know what was happening to him. All he knew was that this girl took his breath away all the time. She had his heart in knots when she was angry or sad. When she was happy, he felt his chest tighten.He actually did not know what was happening to him.Is this what they call love? Is he in love with this Baxter girl?Nico shook his head.

When Nico left the room, the back of Kara's eyes slowly flickered, indicating she was awake. Moments later, she opened them. Outside her room, she heard him give instructions to his men. He posted guards outside the master’s bedroom.Quietly so as not to alert the men outside the room, Kara tiptoed her way to the balcony. She acted on the sudden urge to catch a glimpse of Nico Bernardi before he left for the office.Kara does not know why, but she feels a certain kind of longing that only Nico could fill. She could not explain it, but she already missed him.It must be part of her pregnancy. The baby wanted to see his father, and she, as the mother, will indulge him.Unconsciously, her hands caressed her stomach while she looked at the spectacular view outside.The balcony allows her to see this. The trees, with their leaves changing hues, indicating that the season has started to

“Does your head still hurt?” Nico asked when she pulled her head away from his administering hands.Before she could reply, Nico pulled his phone from the front pocket of his dress pants.He dialed a number and started speaking. “Bring Kara's friend home. Tell her Kara does not feel well.”Kara's eyes widened.“Wait. You brought someone to visit me?”“Yes.”“Who?”Nico's eyes narrowed suspiciously. “Do you have so many friends? I thought you only had one back at the hotel.” His voice sounded jealous, and the corner of Kara’s lips curled in excitement.Her heart started to race.Then, she remembered about her waiting guest.Nico mentioned the hotel.

The few months Nico asked her proved difficult as days went by.Every morning, Kara would wake up with a churning stomach. She would dash out of bed to rush to the bathroom to dispel the food she had eaten the night before.It was a gross affair, staring daily at your own puke, but Nico proved handy every time. He would rush to the bathroom to follow her, to gently caress her back.“Get out!” She told him the first time, but Nico was as obstinate as she was. He never left her side on these crucial mornings. Even when she pierced him with her sharp gaze, he was adamant. Kara realized it was actually better not to argue and let him have his way for her peace of mind.If Nico wanted to help her, then she would let him.The smell of stench surrounded them. Kara thought that when Nico smelled it, he would retreat. It did not happen, much to her relief because whether she a
