Maya POV.

"I didn't know you were such a scaredy-cat," Mr. Jonah said as he set the test kit on the table and swabbed my thumb with a sterile gaze pad. "Press down on it to stop the bleeding."

"I'm only scared of needles," I grumbled as I did as he instructed, pressing down on my finger.

"If you can't take a needle, how would you endure a penetration?" He asked as he cleared the table.

"That's different," I pouted my lips at him.

"You think?"He glanced at me.

I leaned over and peered at the test kit, "What now?"

"We wait," he said and walked into the bathroom at the side.

20 minutes later, he emerged from the bathroom.

He was dripping wet.

The sleek mass of his brown hair clung to his face. Droplets of water ran down his now-exposed chest, the muscles of his chest rippling with each step he took.

A small white towel hung loosely on his lean waist, and I could see his strong legs move through the gap in the towel.

I mopped at him with fascination, helpless to do anything else.

    Chapter 1: Morning Rush. Steven POV. Today had to be one of the worst days of my life. And I meant it literally. It started with a rude awakening. I'd woken up late with a bad tummy ache, and spent about 45 mins on the toilet bowl, wondering what I ate last night to give me such terrible diarrhea. As I clutched my tissue in my hand, grinding my teeth as my anus sent out waste explosions, I vowed in my heart never to eat sushi late at night again. As if that was not enough torment for one day, right now I was stuck in the longest traffic in Las Vegas history. The road was a chaotic mess, one entire lane was blocked off for maintenance, with a diversion sign directing traffic into a single, congested lane. Cars inched along, each driver jostling for space. It seemed like the universe was conspiring against me It was 7:45 a.m., and I was running late for work. I had a crucial meeting to attend this morning. While I was navigating the slow and congested traffic with a sore mood,

    Monalisa POV.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the box in his hand.Wait.Was this really happening?Was he actually proposing to me?He flipped the box open, revealing a large diamond ring. "I know I'm late, I should have done this immediately I found out you were carrying my baby," he shook his head and another tear slipped down his other cheek. "I was foolish to walk away the first time."He held the ring up to me, "I will do right by you, Mona. For you, I'll try to become the man you need. Please marry me and make me the happiest man alive."As I stared down at the ring, tears welled up in my eyes and my heart melted.His eyes bored into mine, "Please Mona, I want to be forever yours. What do you say?"I stared at him, my heart racing with all the emotions I'd felt over the past couple of weeks. "Say yes," I heard Maya's voice croak from my house window. My head swung in that direction and I found her peeping at me through the curtain blinds.What was worse?I saw a bigger

    Monalisa POV. Our taxi slowly came to a halt a few meters away from Greg's car. He was dressed in a simple black Givenchy hoodie with matching sweat pants, yet he still looked extremely stylish with the grey Chopard sunglasses shielding his eyes. "Hold up, Mona. Are we staring at your boyfriend right now, or did Drake just come into town?" Maya mummured. "Ex-boyfriend, Maya, ex-boyfriend," I firmly corrected. But even as I said the words my heart was racing wildly as I stared at him through the car windshield. "What is he doing here?" Maya voiced my thoughts. "Did he drive all the way from Vegas to this city? How does he know where you live?" She wondered out loud. I sighed deeply, I could ask the same questions. But this was Greg, he could always find me if he wanted. Yet, he hadn't sent me a single message or called me once all these days after our breakup. So what was he doing here now? "Let's go hear what he wants," Maya said and started to open her door. I quickly grabb

    Monalisa POV. I stared at the doctor taken aback by her question. "Yes, I am," I answered, "I checked with a pregnancy test strip a few weeks ago." She nodded, "After you tested with the strip, did you visit a hospital to confirm?" "No," I replied, somewhat confused. "Do I need to still confirm in a hospital after the house test?" The doctor raised her eyes to the roof as though she'd been through such situations before. "I'm sending you to the Lab for a proper test using your blood work," she said and walked over to her desk. Pressing the intercom on her desk, she called the attending nurse. Hold on a minute... What was going on? "Wait, I don't understand," I said sitting up on the bed, "Are we done with the scan? Is my baby okay?" "The scan didn't show an embryo, the sack or anything attached to your uterus," she answered. "What?" I asked. "Huh?" Maya echoed beside me. The doctor saw the confusion on our faces and decided to explain further. "I suspect that either it's t

    Monalisa POV.3 weeks later.Maya and I were sitting in the lobby section of a hospital, waiting to see an obstetrician and have an ultrasound."I can't wait to see the scan," Maya mused excitedly, "I hope it's a baby girl.""It's still too early to tell the gender," I told her.She nodded, agreeing, but again her enthusiasm perked up. "If it's a boy, I'm naming him Cillian," she whispered to me."Why Cillian?" I inquired, wondering why she had picked out that specific name. "You know, Cillian is an Irish name," she waved a hand, "Considering the father is Irish, I think it's only fitting for my nephew."I exhaled an exasperated breath, "I never said Greg was Irish.""But you said he was a ginger...""He's American. Although he does have their features, but it's a long lineage. Remember we agreed not to talk about him, Maya," I reminded her. Then creased my brows, "In fact, why are you trying to name my baby? That's my job.""It's mine, too. I'm the co-mother," she insisted, pursing
