Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 Unless I'm not his mother

Reaching home, Luna found Bella already waiting for her. She immediately hugged her and Luna's tears started flowing endlessly. She sobbed," They didn't let me see him. That woman didn't let me. I pleaded with all my might." Bella could clearly understand how she was feeling but all she could do was to stand with her. Luna settled down and narrated each and everything to her. "Graham's mother is really a wicked woman. But you need to be strong for your baby. I want Graham to be proud of you when he sees his child." Luna decided to stay strong.

She made an appointment with a gynecologist so as to follow-up on her baby's growth.

The next day, she went to work and Ethan was surprised. He asked," Are you fine now? I thought you were having a week's leave. And I thought you were in Blue City?" He was curious to know what happened because she said she was talking to the baby's father. "Uhm... yes I'm fine. I didn't want to stay home all idle so I decided to come to work. I promise not to let my pregnancy affect my level of work." "There's no problem. Uhm.... what happened in Blue City? Of course if you don't mind." He couldn't conceal his curiosity. "Not good. But I have to keep moving forward regardless," she answered and he assumed that maybe the man's response wasn't positive. "You mind sharing?" he asked. "I honestly prefer not to talk about it," she replied. "I understand."

Luna continued doing her work and with every passing day, Ethan never left her side and continued supporting her even when she rejected his help. She got a calendar and started crossing each day that passed by without hearing anything about Graham. She got a diary where she recorded each and everything that happened concerning her pregnancy. Bella was also supportive and she couldn't stop thanking God for blessing her with such a caring friend. Days passed by slowly and three months passed. Her baby bump had not yet shown. Today she was going to the hospital for an ultrasound scan.

She had asked for an early leave today to go to the hospital and informed Ethan about it. When it clocked three in the afternoon, she packed her things to go when Ethan came at her desk and said," I'm coming with you." "Huh? What about your work?" she asked. "It's no problem. These are some of the most emotional moments for any mother. You shouldn't be alone," said Ethan. "Thank you so much," she was really appreciative. They therefore went together to the hospital.

In the hospital, Luna became all emotional after listening to her baby's heartbeat. Her eyes became moist when she saw it on the screen moving in her belly. The baby was all healthy and she was given the photos. She decided to keep them safe for Graham to see them whenever he will. They left the hospital and in the car she said," Thank you so much for coming with me Ethan. And thanks for everything." "It's really okay with me. I'm glad to help the woman I like." "Now you're making me feel really guilty." "You shouldn't be. BTW you didn't tell me what he said about the pregnancy." She understood that he was implying the baby's father. "Oh? I couldn't see him. He's not well." "As in? Is he ill or something?" "Well, you could call it that. But he will be fine hopefully," she said. She had never lost hope.

Back in Blue City in Cullen hospital, Abigail was sitting beside the lifeless Graham who had no slight change. She was with her boyfriend Jake when she said," His birthday is nearing. I thought he would be awake by this time but I guess God has his own plans." She was sad and Jake said," Indeed. But we shouldn't lose hope. You know Graham is very strong so he will fight this." They both agreed.

In the Cullen mansion, Rebecca was with Ciara having a serious discussion. "You should have told me auntie. I would have made sure that she aborted right that night. What if she decided to keep the pregnancy. I can't afford to lose Graham," said Ciara worriedly.

Rebecca had told her the next day after Graham went in comma about Luna. She used all her resources in Blue City to find her but it was all in vain. "I don't think she kept it. I gave her a lot of money and you know those people are after money so I think she got rid of it. We have even looked for her here but couldn't find her. Maybe she went on vacation after aborting it. And worst of all Vikram has refused to disclose anything about her saying that he doesn't know but I know he's lying. I've kept my eyes on him but he never communicates to her," said Rebecca. "I'm really wondering. I've slept several times with Graham in the past but he never forgets protection however much he's caught up in the moment. How come he forgot it that time?" asked Ciara. "You see? She must have been lying but I was so stressed that day to follow up anything. We shouldn't dwell much on that," said Rebecca but Ciara was not fully convinced. She didn't want to take any chances. "Don't worry. As soon as Graham wakes up, you two are getting married unless I'm not his mother. Am deciding everything for my son the moment he opens his eyes because it seems I only know what's best for him," assured Rebecca and Ciara felt relieved.
