Chapter 66: Chapter 66

Aana Pov's

.

After talking to the doctor, I felt a little better. I got terrified when Aaron scared me and my leg slipped. I was about to lose the only reason to stay alive after getting separated from Aaron. My child is my life. I got so scared that I got a panic attack and because of that, the level of my stress and bp got high, resulting in slight labour pain.

I lash out all my anger at Aaron. In fear, I even slapped him. I'm not saying it wasn't his mistake but his condition was the same as mine. He got scared to lose our child just like me. Everything was too much for me.

Doctor Kathie told me not to take stress as it was scaring my baby. She strictly told me to take precautions and have my food and medicines on time as day by day my health is getting worse and my and baby's health is in danger. I decided no matter what I will not stress myself and go with the flow. At this moment only my baby's life is important to me.

Stefan discusses everything in detail with the doctor. He even recorded them, so that he won't forget and could hear the recording again if he missed something. A smile came on my lips, seeing his care towards me. I'm lucky to have a protective brother like him. After talking to the doctor, I requested Stefan to take me back to the NGO. At first, he denied it, saying I should take a rest over here until my health got better but after my continuous plea, he agreed.

I came out of the hospital building when my eyes went on Aaron who was sitting on the bench in the park. My heart twitches seeing tears in his eyes and my legs automatically went towards him.

His tears were enough to bring tears to my eyes. In my pain and fear of losing my child, I didn't realise his pain. He was already guilty and my words must have put him into more guilt. I forget that if I could be scared to lose my child then it is his baby as well. He is also in the same condition as I'm. I was about to put my hand on his shoulder but then stopped hearing Alice's name from his mouth.

"I miss you, Alice... I miss you" He muttered. Tears fell from my eyes hearing Alice's name. He took her name with so much pain that it bled my heart. He was so lost in the pain of losing Alice that he didn't even realise my presence. Well, it was obvious. Alice was the first who took steps to build our relationship. Even I missed her.

I kept my hand on my mouth to control my voice of cries, knowing he is in so much pain. Aaron might not realise that I didn't accept his rejection. He rejected me two months ago and that pain was unbearable for me but still, I didn't accept his rejection like he didn't accept mine. I wanted to tell him how much I love him and want him but I won't because I know my confession won't make any changes. I can't bring Alice back. Nothing can fill the emptiness which is in our hearts after losing her. Nothing can fix our life.

I wiped my tears and took a deep breath to calm myself then turned to go back to Stefan. I wanted to hold him in my arms but then dropped the idea realising that he would have sensed my presence but still didn't look back which is a clear indication to me that he doesn't want to see me.

"Aana '' I halted my step when he called my name. I turned towards him facing his back. It was still sitting on the bench.

"Please hold me," He muttered. That's it... I ran towards him to hug him, which I wanted to do from the moment I saw him crying, and hugged him while standing.

"I'm sorry" He whimpered, hiding his face in my stomach, crying bitterly. tears fall from my eyes seeing him like this, broken and shattered into pieces. Again he gave me right over his tears and again it broke my heart to see his tears.

"I'm sorry because of me, we lost Alice. Not only this, we were about to lose our child" he blubber in a quavering voice. I didn't utter anything to that part. I still remember that moment when I was begging him to take his rejection back and he didn't. I wanted to say so many things to him but he didn't give me a chance to even utter a word.

Aaron encircled his hands around my waist while grieving about everything. I moved my hand in his hair at a loss for words. I'm not even able to decide how I should react. Right now, he is in pain but when he will realise how close he is to me, he will distance himself away from me again which will result in breaking my heart again.

"Aah," I shrieked when the baby kicked my stomach. He stopped for a moment and looked at me dumb-headed. I'm sure he also felt his kick but didn't understand what had happened. I smiled and moved his hand from my back to my stomach.

"Baby please can you kick again? Your father wanted to feel you" I muttered, not knowing whether she would listen to me or not. Surprisingly, the baby kicked. Aaron looks at me like he is questioning if it is all real or he was dreaming. I chuckled and nodded my head yes. He felt the baby kick before also but at this moment it felt more magical. We both were at our weakest point and his kick was enough for us to realise our strength.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry... Believe me, I can't imagine even in my worst dream to hurt you and your mom. you both are my life. I'm sorry" He muttered, caressing my baby bump. He kissed my stomach and then stood up. He looked into my eyes before kissing my forehead.

"I made you cry a lot. I'm sorry... I promise you that from now onwards until my baby's birth, I will not let you take any stress. I will take care of you and our baby and take all precautions. I will not let anything happen to you and our baby. I promise" His words were enough to bring a smile to my face.

"If you're with me then I don't need to worry about anything. Just stay with me, it will be enough for me to stay happy and stress-free" I muttered and kissed his hands. My smile vanished when he pulled his hand back. I scrunched my eyebrow not getting what was going on inside him. He had maintained an impassive look, making me wonder what was waiting for us.

"Let's move on" His words startled me. I look at him in a dilemma of what he means by moving on. I hope it doesn't mean getting away from him again. Well, I can't expect anything else from him when I destroyed our relationship before by hiding the truth from him.

"Move on?" I stuttered.

"Aana" Stefan called me before Aaron could answer my question. I turned my head and looked at my brother who was waiting for me, sitting inside the car. I again look back at Aaron who was glaring at Stefan. He crossed me and went towards him. I followed him, wondering what was going on inside him, and what happened next was enough to startle me.

He turned towards me and picked me up in his arms then made me sit on the back seat of the car and then sat beside me. I look at him dropping my jaw.

"Close your mouth before you end up eating a mosquito" I immediately closed my mouth and looked at Stefan who was equally shocked as I was.

"Now will you please drive back to NGO" Aaron requested Stefan politely? I turned my head towards the monster who never left a chance to startle me. He smiled and kissed my cheeks.

"Don't worry, what I'm planning will be good for all three of us" He muttered, leaving me in anticipation of what is waiting for us.

"Moon goddess, please keep everything alright... Please" I prayed and kept my hand on my stomach, caressing my baby bump. I decided that I will leave everything to the moon goddess. Now, she will only take care of everything. I rested my head on Aaron's shoulder and closed my eyes and started remembering the past moments I spent with him. I still remember when Rex and Alice fought and she asked him to accept our rejection and he begged for forgiveness. The day after that morning was hard for me to decide what I should do. Should I attain the office or not? I knew that if I went to the office then I would end up taking a step closer to me and despite knowing every aspect, I took the decision of moving closer to him.
