Chapter 418 - Let's abandon this mission
Jean looked again at the ultra sound print and different type of emotions surged through her heart.
Fear, love, worry, excitement….
More than anything she is afraid…..afraid that her baby might get tangled up in this mess.
Things are totally bad on her side now. She is now in the middle of bizarre. What if something happens to her baby..
However this is not the time to regret, the damage has been already done and Johann might be probably in the way of hunting her…
The only thing she could do now is to stay strong and determined to save the innocent life in her stomach.
Mia understood how worried Jean is….this is probably not the right time to have a baby. But who would have thought that this Johann would make his move now.
"Jean, you should not stress about it. Everything will be all right. Just take care of your health and rest as much as possible. I am warning you now itself…..with your migraine and less immune system your pregnancy is going to be tough and bumpy" Mia warned.
Jean nodded her head. She is right, it is indeed going to be tough. She is just a three weeks pregnant and her morning sickness is already unbearable.
Even for the small tension she took, her head is going overboard with its migraine. Her nauseous feeling became her twenty four seven companion. It will always be there with her just like her shadow.
With all these she is getting tired pretty easily…
She probably can't keep this as a secret from Scott for a long time. She have to tell him....she will be needing his maximum support from now.
"Mm….Don't worry Mia. I will stay away from this matters from now and take care of me and my baby" Jean took the decision.
But…..
She might stay away but her enemies will not right….
"Tell Scott and your family as soon as possible. You will be needing their support the most" Mia suggested.
"Next Week, we will be going back to country A for Sean's marriage. I will tell them during then….and this Wednesday I am planning to tell Scott." Jean said while caressing her tummy.
She looked at the white tiny dot again and her hand skimmed on the sheet. Her eyes brimmed with love and tenderness.
She really can't believe that she will be becoming a mother after eight to nine months from now.
She smiled and a sudden thought rushed into her mind.
She will surely have her wedding soon….might be the next month itself….
After chatting for a while and discussing about how to take care of her health Jean decided to go back home.
As a doctor she is aware of the precautions and rules she have to follow..
...…
By the time Jean reached her home it is late evening and Scott is cooking their dinner.
He looked very handsome with his apron that she leaned on to the wall and just stared at him.
'How will he react if I tell him about this. Will he be struck in the shock for some moments just like me or hug us tightly and kisshme.' She is excited to see his reaction. Very very excited indeed.
It is not a simple thing, they are going to become parents!!
How different it feels…strange yet high sense to protect the baby. The priorities will easily change.
Now, she want nothing but to save her baby and guard it well.
Scott shook his head sideways seeing her in daze. She is really acting weird since morning.
"Baby, what happened to you…hmm" Scott hugged her and shoved his face into crook of her neck before rubbing her nose on it. He inhaled her soothing fragrance and it of course increased his desire for her.
"Nothing's wrong Scott. Just worried about all this mess" Jean said a half truth.
She is sure Scott will go berserk if he finds out about their baby. He will go overboard with his strictness and protectiveness.
"Don't worry baby. Everything is going to be all right" Scott rubbed her back and kissed the crown of her neck.
"Scott, what if I tell you that I want to abandon this mission for a while. What will you do…." Jean asked.
Scott couldn't help but wonder why she changed her stubborn and persistent attitude. According to her normal self she must start working on this mission with twice the speed than before.
Something should be truly wrong. He can feel the fear and worry emanating from her.
"Baby, I will always support whatever decision you make. I knew this mission is important to you…if you really want to stop it, I will continue it for you" Scott promised.
Jean nodded and hugged him tighter. She is truly afraid now...she and Scott are now having a weakness. The most vulnerable weakness…their baby.
"Baby what's wrong talk to me…please. You are freaking me out okay" Scott worried. What is wrong with her…she is really acting weird and totally new.
Abandoning the mission has never been her style. And she was never this afraid when facing any other missions.
"I want to sleep. I am tired" Jean pouted and her voice is almost like a child's.
Damn! Even a little tension is churning her stomach. She is so sure that her future days will be almost on bed. Curse her migraine
"OK. You can sleep till I complete preparing our dinner. Later, you must eat and talk to me what's bothering you this much" Scott firmly said and took her upstairs in princess style.
However, Jean is very clever that she pretended to be in deep sleep. Scott is no less. If she don't talk now he will call Mia and blackmail her to tell what happened.
But never have this thought stuck his mind that his wife is pregnant with their baby.
