We both turned our heads toward the door, and a figure walked in. I narrowed my eyes to get a better look and noticed it was the doctor. He was staring at us, his mouth hanging open, his glasses askew on his face.
"I'm... I'm sorry to disturb you," he stammered, his voice trembling. He looked like he was about to leave, but Oregon stopped him.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice cool and steady.
"I want to speak with her," the doctor replied, and I tapped my chest.
"Me?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"What do you want to tell her?" Oregon asked. "Why not talk with me instead?"
"It's her that I really need to talk to," he replied, and Oregon turned to glance at me before returning his eyes to the doctor.
"Go on, you can say whatever you want to say to her," I said.
"I'm sorry, King Oregon, but I prefer to tell her in private," he said.
"Are you being serious right now?" Oregon asked, frowning lightly.
"I'm sorry, King Oregon," he uttered, bowing his head.
I walked up to Oregon and held his lower arm, and he turned to me. I sighed and nodded my head once.
"Don't worry, you can go. I will hear everything that he has to say," I said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alright," he nodded, and I let him go. He was about to leave when he stopped and turned his head to me.
"If you can't bear whatever the doctor tells me, I want you to run out and tell me, do you understand?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded slowly, while he waved and left the room. I smirked and shook my head, wondering why he had to wave before leaving. Such a cutie!
"What do you want to tell me, doctor?" I asked, and he cleared his throat. "Wait, is it about my health? Don't tell me I'm not completely healed, and that I might die."
"Pardon?" he chuckled. "It seems you watch a lot of movies."
I scratched my head and nodded.
"You don't have to worry, you aren't sick. You just had a few symptoms of your pregnancy, and don't worry, you won't be dying," he said, and a smile ran across my lips.
"So, what is it?" I asked.
He let out a deep sigh and gestured for me to sit down, and I slowly sat down.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" I asked, my lips trembling. "You are really making me anxious."
"I'm sorry about that. I'm just trying to take my time here," he replied. "Actually, I checked and noticed there were two babies in your womb."
"Two... Two babies?" I stuttered.
"Yes. It seems like you will give birth to twins," he said, and I gulped audibly.
"Why... Why would I give birth to twins?" I stammered, shaking with my misty eyes looking at him. "I won't believe that. As if one baby isn't enough, now twins!"
"I just told you what I noticed," he said. "I will leave you alone now."
"Are you sure you know what you are saying? Are you even a real doctor?" I asked, furrowing my red eyes.
"I'm a real doctor, isn't it obvious?" he said and let out a sigh. "But why aren't you happy about it? Isn't it joyful news?"
"You won't understand," I said, shaking my head. "But you can leave now, I want to be alone."
"Okay then. I will also call King Oregon back inside," he said, and I stood up, shaking my head.
"Don't!" I snapped. "I want to be alone. Tell him to leave."
"What?" he asked. "I wouldn't dare. I'm sorry, but you will have to tell him yourself."
"Can't you just tell him I'm asleep? I don't think I can face him now," I said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't lie to him," he answered, and I scoffed, ran to the bed, and laid on it.
"You aren't lying," I whispered, closing my eyes. "See, I'm asleep now. Now, go and tell him."
He only sighed and walked away. After a few minutes, I heard the door opening, and I opened one eye to see Oregon entering inside.
I wondered what he was doing inside. Didn't the doctor tell him what I said? I let out a sigh, bit my lower lip, and squeezed my eyes and face.
"I know you aren't sleeping," he said, and I slowly opened my eyes, then sat upright.
"How did you know?" I scoffed. "Don't tell me that man told you?"
"He told me you were pretending to sleep and also told me you asked him to tell me that you were asleep," he replied.
I gnashed my teeth and clenched my fists in anger. "What's wrong with that doctor? Such a blabbermouth," I whispered, then faced Oregon, who was only staring at me.
"Did he also tell you everything he told me?" I asked.
"What?" Oregon asked and scratched his head. "Well, he didn't mention that."
"Hmph! So, he thinks that he is smart. So pathetic," I said.
Oregon walked up to me and held my hands. "Can you tell me what he told you? I wondered why he wouldn't tell me."
"Maybe he thinks you aren't the father of the kids, that's why he felt that there is no need," I answered, rubbing my stomach.
"Oh," Oregon chuckled, and at that moment, his eyes widened open.
"What did you just say?" he asked. "You just said kids... like in plural."
"Oh," I chuckled. "That wasn't a mistake actually," I added, a serious look on my face.
"What do you mean? What are you trying to say, Vivian?" he asked.
I swallowed hard and nodded. "King Oregon, I'm pregnant with twins."
"What?" he whispered.
"So, what do you think?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
He smiled and hugged me. "It's fine. Whether it's one, two, or more, I don't care. I will still take care of both of you."
I chuckled and embraced him back. "Thank you," I whispered.
