One morning while making breakfast, Scarlett felt quite nauseous again, "What on earth is wrong with me? " for the past few days, these occurrence weren't uncommon. Even sometimes, she suddenly feel the urge to suddenly sleep.
She became concerned about her own health, but her problem is, if her father found out, he'll overreact again! "I must keep this a secret... " she said to herself. Even Peter wasn't aware, but she told about it to Violet.
"Shall we go see your doctor? "
"If you have your personal, she shall have me checked instead. If Father finds out, he'll freak out for sure! "
"Haha, okay, okay. I do have one, my husband arranged for me. "
Violet called over Dr. Trinity, her personal doctor. While waiting for her arrival, the two chatted, "Well, how does it feel that your going to be a mother? " asked Scarlett
"Well, of course, I'm quite afraid. After all, this is my first time... "
"How did found out? "
"Well, we've been doing it quite a lot lately, haha! " jeez... Saying such thing in front of Scarlett, "And I'm having these weird 'reactions' lately... "
"Huh? Reactions? "
"Like... " just as she was about to explain, there was a knock on the door, "Dr. Trinity your here, so soon! "
"Uh, Im'ma just hanging around nearby, my secretary phoned me. Then I went straight here. "
"I see... " Violet led Trinity to the living room, where Scarlett was also waiting
"She is... " Trinity asked
"Your patient, doctor! "
"Huh? " then Violet explained everything, "Oh, haha Lieutenant Devonshire is still same as before. I also used to be his personal doctor years ago... "
After a good checkup, Trinity checked her pulse, "Mmm... No doubt. Congratulations, you're pregnant, Ms. Devonshire! "
"Eh? HUH?! " Scarlett's eyes nearly bugged out, hearing her condition, "Me? Pregnant? "
"Mmm... "
Scarlett looked down her stomach, "Haha, we've been talking about my pregnancy the whole time, while you yourself, are one! "
"It's mine, and Peter's child... "She said, "I'm so happy! " tears rolling down here cheeks
"Mmm...! Congratulations to the both of you! "
"Haha, another little one... " said Trinity. After, she told Scarlett how she should behave or eat. After all, the first three months are the most dangerous stages of pregnancy.
When she left, she wasn't so sure of what to do, "How am I supposed to tell this to Peter? Will he get surprised? What will he say? " truth be told, she more than excited, of telling him, that she was carrying his child.
She imagined it, being a boy. Five years from now, he would be running to her arms crying from the scary face of his father. He caught all of his father's physical features, and her kind nature.
Then, she thought of it, being a girl. In five years, she in her father's arms, would be walking around in their backyard, Peter teaching her about the butterflies flying around, while she was cooking lunch for them.
Just as she was having dinner this thought, "Hey! Hey...! Hey! " but she was still daydreaming. The next thing happened was a hand patted her on the head
"Huh? " when she turned around, she saw Peter, "D-Darling? What are you doing here? "
"I could ask you the same... " Scarlett pointed Violet's bungalow behind hee,
"Visiting a freind. And you? "
"Well, the restaurant has gotten bigger, Otto needs a supervisor. I've always got my hands empty, so I'm up for it. " he explained as he pointed his car behind him, "Wanna tag along? "
"Mmm...! "
When she entered the car, Peter buckled her up, "W-Wait! " she stopped him, as the seatbelt will strap her stomach,
"Huh? What's up? " he asked
She adjusted it, avoiding her lower abdomen, "There! "she was concerned that the seatbelt might squash her child
Peter could only scratch his head, "Girls are really weird... " he thought
On the way, Scarlett thought of when was the child came to his world. The first time they did it, was when Peter got drunk and went out of control. It was also the last time, so it could only be that time, as well.
"You seem to be in deep thought? " Peter asked her
"Huh? N-Not at all! I'm just... " then she yawned, "sleepy... Can I take a nap? "
"Huh? Since when you started napping while in a vehicle? I though you even hate it? " before he knew it, he was talking to a sleeping crimson cat, "Sigh... "
Minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant. When Peter parked the car, Scarlett was still sound asleep. he slightly adjusted her seat, and kissed her forehead, "Sleep tight, my dear... " then he entered the restaurant.
He went straight to the office, where Otto was waiting, "You're late! "
"Well, better than never... " he replied
"Damn you...! Sigh... Anyways, are you sure you up for it? "
"Mmm... "
"Fine. I'll have your uniform ready. Coffee? "
"Latte. " jeez! So demanding!
Ryker served the brothers their latte's and chatted, "How's your relationship with Scarlett? "
"Huh? Why suddenly ask? "
"What? Got any problem with it? "
"Sigh... Not much has changed though. We'll go out whenever she feels to. "
"Marriage? "
"Huh?
"When are you planning it? "
Peter became silent. When he was about to talk, the door bursted open, "Darling! " Scarlett showed up, looking very unhappy,
"Oh, you're awake? "
"You left me in the car! " she complained. When she finished crying like a child, she noticed Otto. So elegant in his coat, with the title of "President of Lindemann corps. ", "Oh! Where are manners? Good afternoon Mr. Wilson! "
"Please, I beg of you... Quit that formality! It's just the three of us here! "
"Four! " said Ryker who was inside the office as well.
"Could you get another cup of latte? " he said
"Oh! Warm milk shall do! "
"HUH?! " everyone exclaimed
"Scarlett, you're really acting weird today... "
"What's so weird with having only warm milk? " she cried
Suddenly, something flashed in Otto's eyes, "Excuse me, I'll have to use the washroom. " Peter said.
When he left, Otto asked Scarlett, "You're pregnant aren't you? "
Scarlett suddenly choked on her milk, "Cough! Cough! What are you talking about?! "
"Deny it... " Otto became dead serious
"Sigh... My best guess is a month and a half. " Otto gave it a thought. It was when Peter got drunk,
"Does my brother know? "
"Not yet. I don't know how to say, since he was unaware of it. "
"Agreed. When are you planning to tell him? "
"Not so sure either. "
"My best advice, is tell him as soon as possible. "
Scarlett thought about it. Of course, Peter was still in his senses before he fell headfirst on the ground that night. He should remember that he became drunk soon after, and he should know that he might did something.
When Peter returned, Otto handed him his uniform, "Take a rest for now, but you can start anytime. "
"We should be going then. " Peter left with Scarlett. They rode Peter's car, and drove back home, "Shall I take you home? "
"Can I spend the day at yours? Pleeease...! " she pleaded like a child
"Haha, okay, okay... My Dear. "
When they arrived, Peter tried on his tailcoat uniform, "How's it? " he asked Scarlett,
"It's suits you, Darling! " Peter changed back to his usual clothes, "Daring, I have something to tell you. " she suddenly said
"Mmm? What is it? "
"I-I'm... "
"Huh? "
"I-I'm... I'm pregnant, Darling! "
Peter suddenly stood up, looking furious, "Y-You...! "
"N-No! Darling! I...! " before she could continue, Peter swung his hand at her! She covered her head from fright, but nothing touched her, "Huh? " when she lifted her head, she saw Peter glaring daggers at something in his hand
"You... How dare choose my dear Scarlett's head as your perch?! " in his hand, was a crushed bug, big as her index finger
"Darling... "
"Sigh... If I reacted a second late, it would've bit you, you know. How come you didn't felt it? "
"Waaaaahhh! " Scarlett cried from terrible fright. Haha, the bug WAS big, and she had a fright of insects
"Now, now... " Peter comforted her, "Uh anyways, about what you said... " Scarlett slightly embraced her stomach, "You're pregnant... Right? "
"Mmm... "
Like one of the rare times he did, Peter smiled. He embraced his fiancé tightly, "W-Wait... Darling, you're squeezing your child too...! "
"Oh, sorry... "
"Anyways, how are you so sure, this was your child? "
"Are you an idiot? I am the only one who touched you, right? "
"Huh? "
"Yeah... That entire night... I knew my every move... "
"Eh? HUUUUUUH?! "
