Can You Hear My Heartbeat Novels & Stories

And faintly, too faint to hear. A second heartbeat began to echo beneath his own.

I can hear my heart beat faster. What is going on?

She turns to me smiling. "Everything is okay Mr Hale. Apart from the bruises on her face, she is fine." I am too shocked to respond. I guess I haven't gotten used to the idea of being a father. Aella is equally quiet, she has refused to look at me since I came in. "Let me show you something." Aella and I look at the monitor of the machine immediately. I am too stunned to speak, too overwhelmed to breathe. I let go of Aella's hands, moving closer to the screen. It is my child's heartbeat, and it is perfect.

Like I’m hearing it from somewhere far away. All I see is her. Her face. The way her lips move. The slight crease between her brows. My heart starts to pound. Slow at first. Then faster. Then Louder. This isn’t normal. No… this can’t be. I clench my fist, trying to steady myself, but it only makes it worse. The sound of my heartbeat fills my ears. “Sir Rayner? Can you hear me?” I snap out of it instantly and nod, forcing myself back.

It was quick, snappy, and had some nasty objectives that caused me to ache. A sultry sigh wanted to escape from my throat, but I swallowed it in. It was so hard for me that I was tempted to raise my hand to my mouth to hold the sound, but if I did, I would raise suspicions about myself. 'Kai can feel your heartbeat, and he can hear it.' I remembered and I began to try to calm my heartbeat. 'Beat normally you damn heart!' I scolded my heart, but no, it wouldn't listen. It was surely the most deaf, dumb, and blind part of my body.

I asked. “I doubt little one, but something doesn’t feel right….” Then I heard it. A second heartbeat. I froze. It was soft, faint—but unmistakable. I blinked, pressing a hand to my chest, then lower... my stomach. Was this possible… My breath hitched. I closed my eyes, listening again. Thump-thump... thump-thump. Tears flooded my eyes. I wasn’t alone. I placed my trembling hand over my abdomen, a sob escaping my lips. The heartbeat, it wasn’t mine. It was smaller, but I just knew it somehow.

My eyebrows pull together when I focus too hard and hear his heartbeat too. ‘ It’s normal for us. ’ The voice whispers in my mind, making me suck on my lower lip. “ I don’t think you need this comforting shit. You need some facts straight. ” Ryker scowls all of a sudden. I purse my lips, listening in to his heartbeat. Does his heart ever beats fast? Ever misses a beat? Ever flutters? Like mine? It’s the most ridiculous time to be thinking about this to my annoyance but I can’t really help it when I can finally hear the sound of his heartbeat — the rich ba-dum kinda shit — and even his breaths, even and calm.

Cain asks questions after questions as his front presses against my back in an attempt to know what made me feel like this. “ Can you…” I gulp, my eyes staring right into his silver grey orbs. “ Can you hear this? ” A frown appears on his forehead, his ears perking up. “ Hear wh - ” He is halfway through the sentence when his eyes turn saucer wide. “ A heartbeat. ” I whisper, tears beginning to pour down my eyes once more. How did I miss this? How didn’t I realise this?” Before I can place my hand over my stomach, Cain beats me to this and places his hand over my stomach.

I nodded slightly and tried to relax again. I heard a dull pounding noise coming from the little tv screen. “Is that the heartbeat?” I asked, incredulously. The doctor smiled, “it is. The heartbeat is strong. Perfect. Now let’s take a look.” He moved the wand around, pressing it further into my stomach. An image flashed up on the small screen. “Oh, my goodness.” I whispered in awe.

“I can hear his heart beating. Can’t you? It’s super loud, and it just started racing.” “That’s my heartbeat, dumbass!” he says. “As a matter of fact, I can’t hear his heart beating, but then with any level of that drug, it should slow down his heart rate and make it very quiet. We might not be able to hear it even if he is still alive. Same with his breathing.”
