Ruby checked the time and decided If she wants to meet up at Emily and Nathan’s engagement party then she has to leave right now, she got up, took off her lab coat, and walked into the restroom in her office to wash her hands, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, it’s been over a month since she found out she was pregnant and it still felt like she was dreaming, she was already starting to look pregnant and yes she still does strip testing just to be sure even though she already knew it was true.She still hasn’t been able to tell Liam that he was going to be a father, each time she picks up the phone to do so, she finds herself stopping, not because of anything else but because she didn’t know how he would react to it, she assured him that she won’t get pregnant and calling him to tell him that she was carrying his baby didn’t sit well with her and she was sure he won’t like it, it would be as if he was deceived, but still she knew she had to tell him, he deserves to know.“Ch

“Trap? Are you asking him to marry you?”“No, you know I just got out of one marriage, I am not looking for another, not now and I don’t think I ever will,”She responded. Marriage was the last thing she had in mind right now, after she told Liam, she would ask him for a co-parenting deal so that she can still care for Kris too. She really missed that little princess and wished she had tried to at least keep up with her, she might have forgotten her by now.“See, so what’s there to be scared about? Have you seen the way Liam is around Kristen? He would do better, you know that right?”“Yes, I know, he is a great dad, you are missing the whole point here, I told him that I can’t have children, so how will I tell him now that he is going to be a father?”“You told him you can’t have children? How did you know you can’t have children? Why? Because you couldn’t get pregnant in a space of five years? Oh my, Ruby, that’s not enough time to conclude that,”Sara said in a disappointed voice,

“True, I saw everything, you did well Liam, you saved people and got the bad guys in jail,”She complimented.“Thanks, but you would have at least taken my calls or even call to tell me that a month ago,”“I am sorry I didn’t,”“It’s fine, and on other news, vine’s siblings are all doing good, her mom too, I went to see them when I got back and she is good,”He revealed.“That’s good to know, it all happened because of you,”“No, we did it together,”“Sure!”She said and there was silence, he wanted them to continue talking.“I started Kirsten’s adoption process as soon as I got back and in about two weeks, she would be legally mine,”He revealed.“Wow, that’s good to know, you are doing well,”She said and he smiled.“Thank you, it wasn’t easy though, because I am a single man but my parents helped so, yup,”“Kristen is so lucky to have you,”“The feeling is mutual Ruby, I am lucky to have her too,”He replied truthfully.“That’s good to know,”She said and there was silence again.“

Ruby stared at her phone, she has been looking at the phone for over thirty minutes now and she just couldn’t do it, why was it so hard for her to just make the damn call? How come she was a chicken when it comes to Liam? What was she so scared of? These questions ran through her mind and she couldn’t get answers to them, she was just feeling stupid for prolonging this as far as she could go, she was already four freaking months pregnant, if she doesn’t say anything now when would she have the time to? And also fuck Liam for not calling her after making her promise to take his call when he does.“Men will always disappoint you,”She whispered to herself as consolation, it’s been almost two weeks now since they met, he expected him to call but his call never came, not even a text, maybe he was waiting for her to reach out, the damnable man!“I can do this!”She whispered as she picked up her phone and slowly searched for his contact. She clicked on it and held her breath, waiting for i

“My house?”“If you don’t want us to meet there then it is fine, I will just find somewhere else and text it to you later,”She replied, she should have thought of his not wanting her to be at his place either.“No, it is fine, I was just surprised that’s all, ten am you say? Should I forward you my address?”He asked, the excitement back in his voice, that should be a good sign right? But it made her nervous.“Yes, please,”“Sure, see you, tomorrow baby,”He said and ended the call, he called her baby? Well, let’s see if he still calls her that after she tells him the big news.After the call, she was finally able to rest, she fell asleep in the call room and when she woke up, she decided to go home, since she didn’t have much work in the first place, she just told the chief and he let her go, she went home and spent the rest of the day in bed.She woke up the next morning refreshed, she made and ate a light breakfast, took her bath, and sat in her living room going over her plans on
