Chapter 35 - Chapter 35 I love him

After sometime, Luna also got tired and she slept. Bella decided to work in the hospital today on her laptop.

In the evening, Ethan brought little Leah in the hospital to see Luna. "Leah, how are you?" asked Luna. "I am fine. This is your baby," said Leah as if in confirmation. "Yes this is my baby," Luna confirmed. "The baby is so small," said Leah as she stood next to the crib. "Yes he is small now. But he will become big like you." Leah poked the baby's cheek and it giggled while looking at her with it's big grey eyes. "Awww, he's so cute," Leah grinned.

They gave Luna the things they had brought

for her which included Alex's. "You really didn't have to but thanks and also thank Alex for me. I will do it in person later." At the time of their departure, Leah didn't want to leave the baby and she started crying. "Papa I don't want to leave the baby," she looked at her father with tears in her eyes. "Leah, we shall come back and you see him. But we have to go and you sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow," Ethan coaxed her. "Are we coming back tomorrow?" she asked him. "Of course why not?" he lied. "You promise?" she asked to confirm. "Yes," he confirmed. After much debate and vows, Leah accepted to leave the baby but not before giving him pecks all over his face. Bella admired Ethan for being a good father and even after they left, she remained rooted in her place staring at nowhere in particular but picturing herself giving Leah the sibling she's yearning for.

"Hello!!!" she heard Luna calling her. "Yes?" she asked. "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing, nothing. Just some impossible things," she replied. Luna thought for a while and she said," I'm not too observant about certain things but I think I've noticed something. Do you like my boss?" Bella said,"No." "You sure? I've seen how your eyes follow him everywhere. And the way you look at him is extra ordinary," Luna said and before Bella could say anything, the baby cried and it seemed he was hungry. Luna fed him after which he went to sleep. "Anha? You were still saying?" Luna clearly remembered what they were talking about. "Eh? You never forget do you?" "No. So tell me." "I don't like your boss, I love him," confessed Bella. Luna was surprised by her confession and asked," When did it happen?" "I don't know. But ever since the first time you introduced him to me I couldn't get myself to stop thinking about him. You remember that dinner? Which hotel was it?" asked Bella. "Oh! Now I remember. So you mean all this time?" asked Luna. "Yes. But on that same dinner I noticed his feelings for you so you can imagine. And even if not that, how can he ever be interested in someone like me?" she asked sadly. "Who told you that? If he was willing to take a chance with me then why not you? You're so cute and sweet Bella. Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. "Says the one who lost her virginity and didn't tell me anything," said Bella and Luna's face became red from embarrassment. Bella chuckled at her cute reaction and Luna said," Y-you didn't have to say that. I was going to tell you but I found you sad about your ex boyfriend." Bella instantly frowned and she said," Yeah. That jerk." Luna started thinking of ways on how to bring Ethan and Bella closer. She couldn't believe that her friend has been suffering for so long.

The next day in the evening, Luna was discharged from the hospital after the doctors fully analyzed the baby's health as well as the mother's. On reaching, the baby was placed in his crib then Luna noted each everything in her diary. After she had a bath and looked at her baby who was sleeping. A lot of things were going on in her mind and she soon fell asleep.

She was woken up by Bella who informed her that some workers from Carter corporations had come to see her. She wondered who they could be because she didn't have any close friends at work apart from Ethan. She came with the baby and found their receptionist Aria and another employee called Stella. "Congratulations Miss Luna. Our boss informed me about the news today morning so we decided to come and see you." "Thank you for coming," she said. "Can I hold him?" asked Stella. "Of course," Luna carefully gave her the baby and she said," He's so cute. I wanna take him." "Indeed he's so cute. And he doesn't look like you maybe he looks like the father. BTW where's he?" asked Aria. Aria knew for sure that Luna's baby was not Ethan's so she was wondering who the father was. "He's on a business trip," lied Luna. "But I think this is more important. Being with you when you've just given birth," said Aria. Aria didn't have any ill intentions, she was speaking as a matter of fact according to her opinion. "Actually we had all miscounted. We thought that my due date is two weeks from now so he had left to wrap up everything to be with me during this time but this happened. But he's coming back soon," said Luna. "Okay now I get. But he must be a very handsome man. This baby is way too cute," said Aria. After spending sometime, they handed their gifts and left. "They are so nosy," said Bella. "They are just curious."
