Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Celeste was engrossed in cooking in the kitchen while humming a Shania Twain's song when all of sudden two hands wrapped around her waist and hugged her from the behind. For a moment Celeste was startled but soon she relaxed when she recognised the familiar touch.

"Liam! What are you doing? Can't you see I'm cooking? Let me go." Celeste said while trying to free herself from Liam's grip.

"No. Let me just hold you for a second." Liam said while making his grip tight on her and burying his head in her neck.

"Ok. The breakfast is almost ready. I will just serve it in a while." Celeste said while tasting her porridge.

Perfect. She thought.

"Ok. Let me help you." Liam said with a smile while freeing Celeste from his grip and serving a few dishes with her. That's when Celeste noticed he was all dressed up in his office clothes, ready to go.

"I have called Tracy and she will be coming from tomorrow." Liam said after he placed the dishes on the breakfast table.

"Really? I can't wait to see her." Celeste said with a smile while taking a seat on the dining table. Liam smiled and took a seat beside her before placing a few dishes on her plate.

"I have placed a few files for you in the living room. You can make a report based on them but don't overwork. You can take your time. I will be back by afternoon. Now eat" Liam said while placing a glass of mango juice in front of Celeste. Celeste nodded before smiling.

"Yes sir." She said mockingly while digging into her food making Liam chuckle at her reply.

It's been more than a month since she had moved in with Liam in their new home. Everything was going perfectly and she was really happy. She joined Liam's office again but Liam didn’t let her go to the office instead he made her work from home worrying about her health. She sometimes feels lonely but Rihana and Sharon both came to keep her company. Clarissa visited a few times in the past month. They had again hired Tracy but she had taken a seven days leave to visit her daughter. But overall Celeste was happy here after a long time. She missed Lily and Archie terribly but didn’t have the heart to ask them from Shawn he was the legal owner even though she had raised them since the beginning.

Celeste heaved a sigh and threw the files on the table before leaning back on the sofa, stretching her body. Recently she felt tired easily but she was very grateful to God that she didn’t have morning sickness that much. She was now four months pregnant and slowly she started to accept it. Her baby bump was showing a little making her caress her belly whenever she wanted. Celeste realized she was so wrong when she said she wanted an abortion. It was just her fear that made her think that way but in reality she could never do it just because she was uncertain about future. But now she didn’t fear about the future since Liam was with her. He will definitely take care of their baby if something happens to her ever.

Celeste smiled thinking about Liam and was about to call him when her phone started to ring and she saw a familiar name on the screen.

"So how have you been?" Celeste asked the person seated beside her.

"Good. How are you? I see you are pregnant." Shawn asked and then added the last part noticing Celeste's baby bump which was showing a little. Celeste smiled a bit.

"I'm good. Yes. Four months actually." Celeste replied while putting a hand on her belly.

"It's Liam, isn’t it?" Shawn asked with a smirk.

"Yes." Celeste replied with a smile.

"So you are finally back with him again. That guy loves you." Shawn replied with a smile even though his heart pained a little watching her being someone else's but he was happy for her.

"Yeah. I didn’t see any other option. How is Archie and Lily" Celeste said with a small laugh then asked the question.

"They are fine. They miss you very much." Shawn said, a bit sad.

"I miss them too. How is Gilbert's treatment going?" Celeste asked while leaning back on the chair and then taking a sip from her drink.

"He's showing great progress even though the doctor's have given up on him previously ." Shawn said with a smile.

"Really? I'm happy for him! Thank God!" Celeste exclaimed in happiness. Shawn smiled and nodded. After a while the waiter served their food while they slowly dug in and continued catching up.

"Where have you been? I have been calling you for the past half an hour." Liam asked the moment Celeste entered the living room. He had already returned from his office and was dressed in his home clothes. Celeste bit her lips guiltily. She didn’t check the time and was talking to Shawn. Her phone was on silent mode. After bidding Shawn bye she directly came home.

"I'm sorry. My phone was in silent mode. Shawn came to Toronto for a seminar so I went to meet him before he left." Celeste said while keeping her purse.

"You went to meet Shawn? You could have called me." Liam said a bit upset making Celeste more guilty for being so careless.

"I'm sorry. I thought you might be busy and I was in a hurry since he had a flight to catch this afternoon." Celeste explained in a soft voice.

"It's ok but next time please let me know before you go somewhere in my absence." Liam said in a gentle voice while kissing Celeste's forehead making Celeste nod with a smile.

"I will." She promised, making him smile.

"Now come, I have a surprise for you." Liam said while pulling her upstairs with him.

"What is it?" Celeste asked in an excited yet impatient voice making Liam chuckle.

"You will see." Liam simply replied.

Liam led her to the room beside their bedroom and instructed Celeste to open the door. Celeste nodded and opened the the only to get a huge surprise.

It was a baby room decorated beautifully while in the middle was the crib she had seen in the market previously. How did he know she wanted to buy it for their baby?

"Do you like it?" Liam asked while hugging her from the behind.

"It's beautiful. I love it. How did you know I liked this crib?" Celeste asked, smiling.

"I saw you looking at it." Liam replied while kissing her neck.

"Thank you." Celeste said turning around and then wrapping her arms around Liam's neck before placing her soft lips on his. Liam smiled and pulled her closer before kissing her back and lifting her off of her feet. At that moment Celeste felt like she was again in seventh sky. She only prayed that time her happiness would at least last longer than before.
