Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

Theo looks at me for a second, then asks, “What do you mean?”

“I always had irregular periods, and the doctor said that happens. Mom doesn’t know about it but when I was in London, my doctor told me something which was…” I can’t say more.

“What did she say, Daisy?” Theo asks me as he makes me sit on his lap.

“She said that there could be a possibility that I could never conceive. Even though she had said that there are many ways I could try…, but the bottom line is, it would be difficult for me to conceive or after conceiving to maintain that pregnancy.” I say and sob out.

Theo hugs me tightly and I empty my long-held tears on his chest. I was devastated when I heard that news. At that time, I had no one to share this pain with. And with time, I accepted it and thought if I was going to be alone that’s okay and there are many technologies now.

But now that I have Theo, I have started dreaming again. And that dream does include his baby. How I would love to hold a baby not only in my arms but in my womb too. I want to feel everything a woman experiences during pregnancy. I am not against adoption. I have thought about it too and would go for it in the future. Even so, my heart yearns for this wish.

“Daisy.” Theo says.

“Please don’t leave me for this.” I say before I can stop myself and Theo holds me by my arms to make me look at him.

He looks at me with sadness but not pity and says, “Why would you think I would leave for this reason?”

“Because you love kids just like me. And there may be a possibility that I can’t give you one.” I say.

“But that doesn’t affect my feelings for you, does it?” Theo asks, then sighs and says, “I don’t know what are the right words. But what I do know is that… I need you as much as you need me. And please don’t stress about this. We are young and have lots of time. There are many technologies coming up for these types of problems. And we can always adopt.”

“We can.” I say and play with his shirt button and ask, “So, you are thinking about us getting married in the future?”

“Surprisingly, I am. I can’t afford to lose you to someone else. I am afraid Noah would take you away if I turned away, even for a second. But it would not be for another two years.” He says.

“I won’t mind. I like dating you and also want time with you.” I say.

“Once January comes, I will be free to kiss you in front of others. I don’t have to sneak kisses with you like a teenager.” Theo says and I chuckle as I remember our last weekend at Ryan’s house.

“I would love that too. Just three more months.” I say.

“Then we will move in together.” Theo says, and I sit up in his lap in surprise.

“Really?” I ask with wide eyes.

“Really. We are literally together. And it is such a bother to go from one place to another. It is way better that we move in together. So be prepared to live with me. Because when I will have full access to you, I am not leaving you alone, even for a second.” He says and bites my earlobe and kisses it.

“Someone is getting clingy.” I say and giggle, which turns to moan when Theo peppers my neck with open mouth kisses.

“I love clinging to you. Just you.” Theo says in his husky voice and takes me to the bedroom, where he shows me how much he adores me.

“Who’s that?” I ask when I hear the doorbell after our second round.

“It is dinner. I ordered it on my way over. I told them to send it exactly an hour later.” He says.

“Are you saying you were planning for this to happen?” I ask with a grin and get up from him.

“When will it not happen?” He asks with a smile of his own.

I wear a robe and go to open the door just in case it is someone else. And I was right to do that, as it was Lily on the door. She was there with Adam’s carriage and one small duffle bag.

“Lily, what a surprise.” I exclaimed loudly, just so Theo could hear me.

“Look Adam, someone is excited to see us.” Lily says.

“Please come in.” I say and take Adam from her.

“Thank you.” She says and sits on the couch.

Theo was just coming out when I waved at him, and after seeing Adam in the carriage, he tiptoed back inside again. Thank god, Lily was busy on the phone. Adam, on the other hand, is literally jumping in his carriage after getting a glimpse of his favourite uncle.

“Un…” Adam tries to say.

“So, Ryan is not coming?” I ask so Lily won’t hear him.

“No. Actually, I am thinking of giving him a little surprise. So I hope you won’t mind looking after Adam just for tonight. His nannies are out of town and the plan was so sudden. Emma is busy too with Ethan’s school stuff. And Viola and Heather are not close by. You are the only person I trust Adam with. I am trying to call Theo, but he is not picking up my phone. But I texted him. Will you please help me, Daisy?” Lily asks.

“Of course. And don’t worry about Theo. I will call him. And about Adam, we are totally going to be fine. You enjoy your night.” I say.

“Thank you so much. I have been waiting to surprise Ryan for days. Ryan would come to pick up Adam in the morning before you leave for work, I promise.” Lily says and gets up to leave, “Be good to Daisy, Adam. Mama loves you a lot.”

She kisses him and leaves and I say, “Bye.” and close the door.

“I did not expect her to come here.” Theo says as soon as he comes out.

“I did. When you were not here, I used to babysit for Adam a lot.” I say.

Adam’s waving arms and exciting shouts draw our attention to him, and Theo unbuckles him and takes him in his arms. I smile when I see Theo baby-talk with Adam and it is so cute that I take some pictures of it and make videos too. Our dinner comes after that, and Theo feeds me while I feed Adam.

“He has grown up so much.” I say as I caress Adam’s head. He is sleeping between me and Theo in bed.

“He has. I remember the first time I held him in my arms. He was so tiny and light.” He says as he looks at Adam with love clear in his eyes.

“You do love him a lot.” I say as I put my hand on Theo’s cheek and caress it.

“I do.” He says, looking right into my eyes and it feels like he is saying that to me and kisses the palm of my hand.

We fell asleep watching over little Adam. We only woke up once at night and Theo lulled him and me both back to sleep. When the next morning comes and I open my eyes, Theo is sitting up again. I would not have thought about it twice, but he has the same expression he had on my birthday morning.

“Who was it this time?” I ask as I sit up.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Your Mom.” Theo says.

“What?” I ask in shock as I didn’t expect that answer of all for sure. I thought it must be Lily or Ryan but my Mom.

“Yes.” He says.
