Up until Tim finished his breakfast, Pam's mind is still wandering. She is very confused on what to do. They promised to be honest with each other however she is not lying. She read his phone and this is invading his privacy. While they are husband and wife, they should keep their own personal space. Also, at this point, she is making an assumption that Lissy is pregnant with Tim's baby. However, can she really take things lightly? Lissy is the girl in between Tim and her before the marriage. It is possible that they did not have safe sex. Her mind went in advance thinking of the consequences.
"Hey, your mind is floating somewhere?" Tim notices how she is spacing out.
She forced a smile, "I am fine, I just can't believe your vacation is over." This cannot be considered a lie because Tim is aware how she anticipated how lonely it will be when its time for him to leave. However, her mind is actually at a lost because of this pregnancy news.
Tim went to her side and hugged her from the back as she sits. "Six months, you will be back in Singapore and after that back to hometown. In fact, you will be returning for Jenna and Mark's wedding, right?"
She nodded her head. This gave her comfort, in less than a month she would be traveling back for Jenna and Mark's wedding. She should be able to figure out what happened.
"Do you still want to send me off to the airport. I don't think its going to be a good idea." Tim caressed her face. One thing is for sure she is afraid to part with Tim and is conflicted what if this is the last time that they are seeing each other still in 'good marriage status.'
"I hate goodbyes at the airport, though I want to be with you even last minute before you leave." What if Lissy is indeed pregnant with your baby, will you leave me? I don't even know if I can have a baby.
Tim kissed her, "Just stay here, I'll message you every now and then." Last time they parted in Singapore, she looked miserable and it also broke his heart seeing her like that. It makes leaving difficult.
Tim left.
Pam was too weak to move; she lost the energy to keep going for the day. When Tim sent her message that he is boarding the plane, she just answered with 'take care, I love you' after that she just lay down on her bed staring blankly in the air.
Around 11PM Sydney time, her phone is ringing. Tim is initiating a video call however in her current state she is not in the mood to talk to him, she also looks devastated.
Tim: Are you asleep now? I am home. Talk to you tomorrow then.
Tim left out a big sigh, He read Lissy's message on his way to the airport earlier. He does not understand why she had to message him about her pregnancy. Is she going to claim that he is the father? What exactly is this woman needing from him? He needs to clear this matter with her.
Lissy for the first time, since she resigned from NextGen, set foot in the company with a baby bump. Took her a week before getting Tim to agree to meet her. She personally would like to meet him in private but Tim suggested to just meeting the office. She would like to avoid getting into a conversation with anyone and answer questions from former colleague.
At exactly 4:30PM Lissy knocked on Tim's room. When Tim lifted his head he was a bit shocked, he did not anticipate that the baby bump is very obvious. When they talk over the phone Lissy did not elaborate on what she needs Tim. She just mentioned that she has a request to make which she hopes he can honor.
"I can see that you are very pregnant indeed. Have a seat."
Lissy just smiled, "Thank you and also for this time. I know you are busy."
"How many months is your child?" Tim was very blunt in saying 'your child'. He needs to make sure that any claims on him being the father of the child is out of the question.
"Its 22 weeks, almost 6 months. Are you curious to know who the father is?"
"No. And I hope you are not going to say its me."
Lissy was honestly surprised at the direct rejection from Tim. She somehow expects that Tim would try to own it up since she had her first with him. "Why? Didn't we do it before? Why are you excluding yourself?
This is a conversation that Tim would hope not to take place between him and Lissy, after all she is a woman who he used to have a relationship with. He wanted to somehow preserve the last ounce of respect that he has for her. "Are you here to discuss this? That I am the father your child?" He once again stressed, 'your child'.
Lissy wanted to keep this possibility open in order to 'save' herself. "Why are you sure that this is not your child?"
"Do you want to go that route? Really? Do you want me to recall how you asked me to withdraw during that time because you don't want to be pregnant? If you are curious to know the time I need to come, I can let you talk to my wife." Lissy was shocked and so Tim is really married. She thought it is a make up story to win her back. What is even more surprising is the next statement from Tim.
"If you will push this further claiming I am the father of the baby then I would have to ask for DNA test. Even if for some magical reasons a 20-minute foreplay could make me burst and get you pregnant one shot, please remember that we both know how to count properly. If you are 22 weeks pregnant this mean the baby has been conceived in August. Did we have sex on that month? Did we even meet?"
Tim was being patient with Lissy for the longest time. He cannot accept the fact that she will use the baby to whatever scheme she has.
Lissy was speechless, she did not anticipate the full rebuttal from Tim. Her confidence crushed. She was the lady who is said to have made him come alive, was actually replaced by a wife in less than a month.
