Chapter 79-It`s tears of joy.
She tried going on with her day like nothing happened. Amber was a good distraction, she tried to
enjoy herself but it was always at the back of her mind. She remembered Marko... she didn''t
understand if that was her mother being inlove or being stupid. He was manipting and cunning. He
had been in prison for seven years before being released. She knew he never cared about Marc
when he left her alone trying to catch her breath, trying to merely just breath on the verge of death. He
would always make Marc sleep with other men just so he could pay their debts. Marc thought
they were each other''s ride or die or maybe she was just highly addicted and he always had the fix.
De doubted it being love, they both used each other for their fucked up choice of life style. When
Andre had started giving De attention, Marko had been quick to say that she should make Andre
trust her that way they could have an insider for a nned heist at the Levetté warehouse. When she
refused Marko gave her a hard backhand p.
Days seemed to be better when the two ran off together... sadly they always came back. In much more
trouble, with bigger debts. Marko tragically died, De still didn''t know the full story but rumors were

that he messed with the wrong ones. Marc never talked about it. Luckily Andre was good enough of
a person to send Marc to rehab... when she came out she disappeared. De only found outter
that she had gotten married to a somewhat noble looking man. De was genuinely happy for her
mother. Marc then told De that she didn''t want anything to do with her. She was starting her life
afresh and didn''t need any past reminders.
A few years down the line, here they were now.
"Hi Mrs. McCarthy, I hope this isn''t bad timing.." Dr. Manisha said on the other side of the line.
"Not at all." She replied. She had just gotten back from her spa day with Amber, it''s was currently four
pm.
"Great, i just noticed something from our ultrasound the other day.. I''m really concerned." She said, this
made De''s heart skip a beat.
"Is everything okay?"
"I can only confirm when you''re here, if I''m not inconveniencing you. You don''t need to book for an
appointment."
"I will be there in twenty, let me just speak to my partner." De nervously replied. She was so afraid.
What if something was wrong with the baby? What if her baby isn''t developing normally? Is her child a
Down syndrome? It didn''t matter, she would love him/her with all her heart. Deid her hand on her
stomach and silently prayed. A small curve was developing. She could tell because her jeans weren''t
buttoning up.
Thank goodness, Jeanine had offered to take the boys for the day. It was just Mother''s Day, nothing
special but for some reason she insisted on having them over.
Andre''s only rang twice before he answered.
"Andre, you need to meet me the hospital something is wrong with the baby.!"? She said almost
quivering.
He didn''t ask anymore questions. "I will be there right now."
Good thing she had been seated in the car the whole time. Contemting what had became of her
life.. she felt as if things were about to get worse.
-
Getting to the hospital had been easy for the both of them. Andre arrived earlier, De arrivedter. Dr.
Manisha greeted them and asked them to join her for another ultra sound. De gripped Andre''s hand
tightly. She was panicking and she knew it wasn''t good for the baby. Not at this point when something
was wrong.
"I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to rm you but I just thought I should let you know as soon as I found out.."
De nodded gripping Andre''s hand even harder. He wasn''tining but if she was doing this to his
hand now, what would she do to his hand duringbor?
Dr. Manisha asked De toy back as she did another ultrasound. Andre felt anxious. He was hoped
everything was fine, especially since this was about to ruin his ns.
"How have you been feelingtely?" The doctor asked making conversation as she set everything up.
"Tired, always tired.. migraines here and there.."
"I think, I know the reason why, do you hear that?" She asked the soon to be parents.
"Our baby''s heartbeat?" Andre said in an obvious tone.
"Listen carefully.." she replied.
There was silence for a bit.
"Is the baby okay?" De questioned, it seemed they were nothing not getting it.
"The babies are perfectly fine!"
"Whaat?!" Andre and De said in unison.
"Listen to the heartbeats again?" Dr. Manisha said with a broad smile.
They stayed silent for a bit until De and Andre realized that there were two heartbeats.
"I was going through the ultrasound record and I noted the second heartbeat. At first I thought it may
actually be an echo of the same baby''s heartbeat from a different angle. Anyways listening to the
baby''s heartbeat in an early pregnancy maybe misleading but I''m very sure they''re twins, the other is
hiding between the first baby.." She paused. "Congrattions again!"
"Oh God! I thought something was wrong with the baby.." De cried tears of joy.
Andre still seemed to be processing everything because the only word he said was "Wow!"
"I''m sorry if I made it seem that way, you must have almost panicked."
"Truthfully, I did... but I''m happy now." In this moment Andre stood beside her rubbing circles on her
shoulder.
"As for always feeling tired, extreme fatigue is one of themonly reportedint when carrying
multiples." The doctor exined.
"I was really surprised because during my first pregnancy I was able to work everyday but now just
walking up the stairs would have me trying to catch my breath.. I assumed I was out of shape."
"Yes, she sleeps in a lottely." Andre added.
"It is perfectly normal because exhaustion during the first trimester can be enhanced from your body
working overtime to enhance more than one baby.." She added. "Everything is fine with the twins and
soon I will be able to tell what you''re both having.. that''s if you want to know. If you''re nning a
gender review party, you can ask someone you trust toe collect the results. If you want to find out
during delivery that is also alright."
Andre and De looked at each other thenughed.
"We hadn''t thought that far yet.." Andre replied on both their behalf''s. "But I would like to know as soon
as possible."
"I would like to know too." De replied.
"Great! Not going to ruin my guess but the shy ones that always hide behind are usually girls."
"Really?" André said with a hint of excitement.
"Just a myth, don''t take it into consideration." Dr. Manisha chuckled.
"I hope it is." De smiled at Andre who couldn''t help buty a chaste kiss on her forehead. He couldn''t
help but think about how much he adored this woman and for many reasons, everything was just
rightfully failing into ce.
Andre had someone pick up his car. As he nned on driving De home. He couldn''t help but think
she must be exhausted. She was, she even slept in their drive back home. He had to carry her into the
house. It wasn''t a bother, neither did she weigh a load not yet.. he thought to himself.
He had nned on putting rose petals on their bed and candles but this scare from the doctor just
made him lose his mind. He didn''t even inform Marta to set up dinner. He watched De sleep, he
prayed that she wouldn''t sleep into the night.
Regardless during her sleep Marta had managed to cook her favorite meal making sure it was healthy
too. Andre excitedly shared the awesome news with Marta. He was filled with excitement and pride. A
year ago he worried that he may never find the right woman to have kids with, he worried that he was
almost into his thirties and had no child. Little did he know that Leondre existed and now months down
the line.. he could have never imagined that De would be carrying his twins. It felt like a dream, he
remembered crying in the shower because he had lost hope, he knew she would never forgive him. He
couldn''t even forgive himself. It hurt watching her at Leondre''s birthday with that man in this very same
house. The way he hadid his hand on her lower back..
In his head, he was giving up but his heart wasn''t. She avoided him like a gue, he felt as if this was
his punishment. He didn''t deserve her, her warm adorable smile. Her contagiousugh, everything
about her was just perfect. She was perfect for him.
When she woke up, he had already ran her a bath. With her favorite strawberry scented bubble bath.
He kneeled beside the bathtub and help her wash her back. Theyughed about stupid hand gestures.
They talked about the additional baby that they were having. Andre''s heart fluttered when she smiled. It
was weird, he couldn''t keep his eyes away from her. Not in any sexual manor but just her beauty. He
saw her differently. He thought she was absolutely stunning even though she kept saying she wants to
go to the gym after giving birth. He didn''t care the his knees hurt from the amount of time she wanted to
stay in the bathtub. He didn''t care that his clothes were soaked.
When De was done bathing, he handed her a towel. Sheter put on her warm gown as she
mentioned feeling a bit chilly. Andre felt like this was the perfect moment. She was sorted on the bed in
her gown and another towel wrapped around her head.
"I''m not a writer but I wrote this for you.." He said handing her a card. She smiled widely, excited to
read it.?
I''m not perfect but you put up with me. I don''t deserve you but you''re still here with me. I didn''t deserve
it but you still bore me a son. I still don''t deserve it and here you''re carrying our child. I promise to stop
saying I don''t deserve you and put up the work, time and effort so you can receive exactly what you
deserve. The love you give me. The mother you''re to my kids and the love of my life. I will always be in
some kind of love with you. Even when you''re far away and not with me. I love you Ad and Happy
Mother''s Day. Fate couldn''t have chosen a better woman to carry my treasures in this thing we call
life.?
"I didn''t know, we would be having twins when I wrote that." Andre chuckled nervously but De stayed
stagnant. Here she was crying again.
"I-m j-j-ust so overwhelmed.." she huped as she stood up to hug Andre. He loved that she fit
perfectly in his arms. He hugged her and let her cry with no intention of letting go.
"I don''t want you to cry!" She whispered wiping away her tears using his thumb.
"It''s tears of joy.." she replied.
He felt this was the perfect moment.
"I have another gift, the final one before we go have dinner downstairs.."
"Okay.." De hastily wiped her tears trying topose herself.
He went down on one knee, at this point.. De was hoping it wasn''t what she thought it was.
"Ad McCarthy please make me the happiest man by being my wife.. again. For the second time,
allow me to do things right?" He said opening the ck box with a rose gold crossover ring.?
De couldn''t breath, she felt as if the walls were curving in on her. Looking in his somber blue eyes,
she got the fear of fear creeping up her spine. She didn''t know what to do? She would be a hypocrite if
she threw all her views away. She was scared ofmitment, it had scarred her once and she just
couldn''t. The ring looked exactly like one she had imagined for the character in her book just more
beautiful in person. She never thought she would see her ideae to life.?
She immediately ran to the bathroom to relentlessly throw up. Her morning sickness just had the
perfect timing or was it her gag reflex because it had saved her from Spencer.. she was pretty sure it
was her pregnancy.
For a moment she was thankful she got a few moments to think while facing the toilet seat.
