Daddy by deception - My ex husband's fake heirs chapter 98
The appointment was later than the first scan, far enough along that the word *twins* had stopped feeling like a rumor and started feeling like a schedule.Cathrene sat on the examination table in a gown that never fit anyone kindly, feet cold, bladder politely full as instructed. Benjamin occupied the chair in the corner with the calm of a man who had already decided that whatever the screen showed, they would meet it together. The room smelled of gel and disinfectant. A clock on the wall ticked with unnecessary clarity.“Any bleeding? Severe pain? Reduced movement concerns?” the technician asked while adjusting the machine.“No bleeding. Nausea still winning most mornings. Movement… I think I’m feeling something. Flutter. I’m never sure if I’m inventing it.”“That’s common at this stage,” the woman said. “We’ll take a look.”The gel was warm this time. The probe pressed, angled, pressed again. The screen bloomed into grainy motion. Cathrene turned her head and watched.Two shapes. C

It began before dawn and did not care that she had meetings.Cathrene woke with the sudden, specific certainty that she needed to be in the bathroom immediately. She made it just in time. Afterward she sat on the cool floor tiles with her forehead against the cabinet door, breathing through the residual wave, while Benjamin’s sleepy footsteps approached and stopped in the doorway.“That bad?” he asked.“That efficient,” she managed. “No warning. Just… arrival.”He dampened a washcloth, handed it to her, and sat on the edge of the bathtub without crowding. The domesticity of it — the quiet competence, the lack of panic — steadied her more than any speech would have. When the nausea receded enough for her to stand, he helped her up and waited while she rinsed her mouth and stared at her pale reflection.“Twins,” she said to the mirror.“Twins,” he agreed. “They’re already organizing shifts.”She almost smiled. Almost.By the third morning the pattern was established. Nausea early, somet

The tears did not come at the clinic.They came later, in the apartment, when the scan pictures were already on the fridge and Amara had finally gone to bed after an hour of increasingly complex questions about whether twins could share a ranking system or required separate ocean notebooks. The flat was quiet. The city hummed at a distance. Cathrene stood at the kitchen sink with a glass of water she had forgotten to drink and felt the fact of the day finally catch up to her body.Two heartbeats. Two lives. After years of being told her body would not, could not, had failed at the one task certain people measured women by.The first sob surprised her. She pressed the back of her hand to her mouth, then gave up and let it happen. Not elegant crying. Not the controlled moisture of a woman managing an image. The kind that came from a locked room inside the chest finally finding a door. She braced both hands on the edge of the counter and cried for the appointments in the old marriage

The first proper scan was scheduled for a Thursday morning in a quiet clinic Benjamin had found through a colleague’s wife — discreet, competent, no glossy promises on the walls. Cathrene filled in the forms with a steady hand and a pulse that refused to match it. Benjamin sat beside her in the waiting area with Amara’s carefully drawn “good luck” card in his jacket pocket, a compromise after the child had accepted, under protest, that she could not miss school for a medical appointment.“Nervous?” he asked.“Yes.” Cathrene folded the completed paperwork. “Not of bad news, exactly. Of how much good news my system can absorb at once.”He nodded as if that distinction made perfect sense.When they were called through, the room was dim except for the monitor. The sonographer was a woman in her fifties with a practical manner and kind eyes. She explained each step without excess chatter, then began the scan. Gel. Pressure. The small movements of the probe. Cathrene stared at the ceiling f

The nausea arrived before the suspicion.Cathrene blamed the coastal food at first, then a lingering tiredness from the wedding and the return to work. She moved through three ordinary days of meetings and evening routines with Amara before the pattern became too consistent to dismiss. A smell in the office kitchen that had never bothered her. A wave of heat in a cool room. The particular, low exhaustion that sleep did not fully correct.On the fourth morning she sat on the edge of the bathroom counter in the apartment and stared at the calendar on her phone until the dates arranged themselves into a quiet, impossible question.She did not tell Benjamin immediately. Not out of secrecy — out of the need to meet the possibility alone first, before hope or fear could be shared and magnified. She left the office at lunch, bought two tests from a pharmacy she had never entered before, and returned to the apartment when she knew it would be empty. Amara was still at school. Benjamin was on

They left the city two days after the wedding.Not for a resort designed to photograph well. Benjamin had booked a small house on a quiet stretch of the coast — white walls, a kitchen that opened onto a narrow terrace, the sound of the water close enough to enter the rooms at night. Amara stayed with his mother, having extracted formal promises of postcards and a detailed verbal report on any marine life sighted. The arrangement left Cathrene and Benjamin alone in a way their ordinary days, however good, rarely allowed.The first evening they cooked without ambition, ate on the terrace as the light went, and sat afterward with their chairs angled toward the darkening horizon rather than toward each other. Conversation came in easy stretches and comfortable gaps. At one point Benjamin reached across the small table and ran his thumb over the band on her finger, as if confirming it was still real in this different air.“No one calling,” he said.“No one who matters,” Cathrene answered.
