Craved by the Wrong Volkov-Chapter 338: It wasn’t joke

Braelyn’s POV

"You are roughly 3 months pregnant Lynn and your body just decided to start showing symptoms.."

Everything went silent. For a moment I just stared at Kyle as I had just heard the biggest joke of my life. Pregnant?

A laugh slipped out of my lips. "That’s not possible. I saw my period a few weeks back. I can’t be 3 months pregnant.." I laughed off

3 whole months. If that was the case it means I got pregnant the first time I did it with Lucien. It wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be.

I stared at Kyle laughing hoping he would burst into a laugh and say he was joking but he looked at me with a blank expression. He wasn’t lying.

"That’s not impossible Lynn. Some women do have some false bleeding during pregnancy and it might be tied to your PCOS." he calmly said and then it finally sank in. He wasn’t lying. I was pregnant.

"From the hospital records, I can see you had some tests done over 2 months ago by Dr Melissa Scottfield. I will have to get those results.." he started explaining but the rest of his words just blurred in my ears.

I glanced at Lucien, and he was struck in a way like he couldn’t process what he just heard but also the tension in his shoulders had relaxed. I was pregnant and the father was Lucien.

My chest felt heavy and a sob tore out of me before I knew it. The tears were already rolling out and before I knew it I was already wailing. Francesca melted at my cries and just pulled me close.

My head rested on her shoulders and tears soaked her expensive clothes. Her hand reached my back and she just rubbed my back while I let everything out. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

My emotions were all over the place. While I just sobbed. In the midst of the chaos, I felt Lucien move closer. He didn’t touch me but his presence drew closer.

His voice was steady but I could feel the choked emotions in it. "Can we have a scan to be certain?" He said and his hand held my back. "Also I would like to see the medical records," Lucien added. It was funny how he was a trained professional, a former practising doctor and he went into full panic mode this morning. He completely lost his cool.

Lucien and Kyle became friends in medical school while they were abroad. From what Kyle told me they were more like rivals at first because of their stark personalities. Lucien was always carefree and Kyle was disciplined they weren’t fond of each other because Kyle saw him as a spoilt brat trying to make a statement

But unexpectedly they were both top of their class and this made them work together several times. That’s when he discovered Lucien was a snake in green grass. The kind of guy who partied before an exam because he had been studying every night all semester.. That sounds exactly like Lucien

All the tests were mostly blood work. A scan would be irrefutable evidence to clear all my doubts. My hand clutched Francesca’s pearls.

"Of course," Kyle answered. " Also I already contacted Dr Scottfield, the results were delayed because of some unforeseen issues. We can speak in my office while the preparations are being made." Kyle calmly replied.

My muffled sobs filled the room. I couldn’t see the expression on Kyle’s face since my head was crooked on Francesca’s shoulder..But I was certain he was smiling.

Lucien tapped my back and leaned down while his other hand linked with mine. He didn’t say anything and just pressed a kiss on my cheek. That gesture carried all the words he wanted to convey.

"I love you Lynn...just wait." He hesitated then added. "This isn’t a dream." He whispered and another cry escaped. He understood, I was afraid this was a dream I might wake up from..

"Please take care of her." He chimed in to Francesca. Francesca snorted.

"You don’t have to tell me that.." she snickered, waving Lucien off like he was interrupting the moment. A chuckle escaped his lips, it was light. The brightest laugh I have ever heard.

He reluctantly let go of my hand and walked towards the door. He and Kyle said something in a low tone, there was something Kyle wasn’t saying but I couldn’t care

"Congratulations Braelyn.." Kyle mentioned before they left, leaving Francesca and me. After they were gone Francesca just held me for a while for my emotions to calm down

Her voice drifted into my ears. "Are you feeling better now?" She asked, rubbing my back. My tears had died off and the cries had turned into hiccups.

"I am fine," I muttered slowly, lifting my head. She dabbed the corners of my eyes with her hankie. "I am so happy it feels surreal.." I admitted.

A gentle smile curled up her lips. "It’s great news. Now I feel guilty. " she sighed and I arched my brow.

"You didn’t do anything wrong."

Her face went ugly. "I made you drink wine while you were pregnant.." she said bitterly. "That’s bad for the baby.."

Her words left me dumbfounded and a laugh rang out again. My laughter was feather light. She was feeling guilty for all the events she took me to where I had drunk a bit.

"It’s nothing serious. No need to be worried.." but Francesca wasn’t having it.

"It is serious Lynn...I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything had happened to the baby although I still think your taste in men is bad.." she admitted. "Lucien is a piece of work, imagine if it is a boy and he takes after him..."

Her prejudice against Lucien was pretty serious. The thought of a mini Lucien made me smile then it struck me.

"Why are you certain the father is Lucien?" I blurted out. She didn’t know much about my marital affairs; it was a topic we tactically avoided.

A sly smile curled up her lip.."Dear Braelyn Voss I wasn’t born yesterday. From the way you have been staring at him it is obvious. His only redeeming quality is that he is good looking.." she revealed.. the bitterness in her tone was obvious...

Then her voice got serious.." If you want to be a single mom I fully support you."

Well, I was sure Lucien wouldn’t accept that.
