The billionaire's double twins

Chapter 25

Fifteen minutes later, Shelby laid on the bed munching on the popcorn, waiting to be attended to, while Will works his magic on the doctors.

The nurse rushed to her side as they gave her nutrients and took her blood.

"Can you please stop shaking, I'm not dying, you know?"

"I'm calm."

"Yeah, he's way calmer better than he was when you fainted." Candice replied, "... and frankly speaking, I've seen you under extreme pressure and stress but not once have you fainted but you have thrice in the last three hours."

"That's an exaggeration..."

"Have your result been brought..." The doctor enquired as he made his way to their bed.

"How are we supposed to know that?" Will replied.

"Don't be rude Will." Shelby turned to the doctor "...nevermind him, he's always grumpy."

The doctor smiled then sent for the nurse who handed him her results, "well, congratulations Mr Baker, your wife is pregnant, although, it seams as if she hasn't been eating well enough, take her to see the gynaecologist before leaving" he turned to the nurse, "is Dr. Taylor around?"

"Yes." the nurse replied.

"Book them anointment urgent are stats are concerning." he put her chart by the foot of the bed then walked off.

After he walked away, the four of them sat in silence, Will heaved then held her hand, "I...I...think.. we are having a baby." he stuttered.

Ryan and Candice shared a look.

Shelby looked at him then smiled.

Will smoke back then hugged her, he knew she had no plans for children whatsoever, he had expected some drama or at least some anger but her smile shows confidence, maybe he was wrong, she may have changed her mind after caring for the kids for awhile.

"I can't be." she whispered.

"What's?" he looked at her.

"He's wrong." she smiled, "I can't be." she summoned a nurse,

"Yes."

"Well, I think there must be some mix up with the test results, I'll like to take the pregnancy test again."

"Sure."

"Take my blood again."

Will heaved, no she hasn't changed her mind, it just hasn't processed yet, he stood and went to process private room for her.

She turned to Candice after Will left, "I need some pregnancy kit."

"I thought you said you weren't pregnant?"

"True but I don't like the look on Will's face, it's..."

"He's just being matured, don't doubt him."

"I don't, he's just too accepting."

"Fine, I'll get." she turned to Ryan, "don't leave her for second."

When she returned with the kits, Shelby had been moved to a private room.

"Thanks." she took the kits and went to the bathroom, after a couple of minutes later she returned with the three kits, there's no pregnancy indicator, "I'm not pregnant." she threw it casually in the bin

"Aren't you supposed to wait a few minutes?" Will said.

"Why? are you hoping I'm wrong?"

"What?" no!" he exclaimed.

"So you don't want a kid either?"she said a bit dejected as she climbed back into the bed

"No, that wasn't what I meant, whether you are pregnant or not, it doesn't make much difference to me."

"Well it does to me."

Candice went to the bin just as the nurse came in.

"What does it say?" Shelby asked casually.

"The same, you area out four months along."

"That's impossible, I just used the pregnancy kit, it says otherwise."

"Well the kits aren't 100% accurate." the nurse replied.

Candice pulled the kits out of the bin and checked, "Shelby how many strips where there when you checked?"

"None." she shrugged

"Well there two now." Candice showed her the strips.

"That's....Impossible... There's no way I am." she check the strips herself.

"Yes you are miss, I already scheduled your meeting with the gynaecologist."

"No." she threw the kits away, "I can't be."

"You can't be certain, no contraceptive is 100% guaranteed."

"That's enough." will commanded, "you may leave." he gestured towards the door.

"No, I want a scan."

"What?" the nurse paused.

"You said I'm in my second trimester?"

"Yes."

"Then it must have begun to take shape."

She nodded, "I'll schedule it right away."

"Shelby?" Will started

"Don't worry, something must be wrong somewhere." she said totally convinced.

A few minutes later, Shelby laid on the bed as she listen to her child heartbeat.

Thump thump, she heard and froze.

Thump thump, she heard the baby heartbeat again.

"Do you want..." The doctors began today but she sat up and ran out in fright.

"Shelby..." Candice ran after her.

"No... No, this can't be." she panicked as she cried in Candice's arm.

"It's okay." she consoled as she sooth her

"No...no...no, this can't be happening, this can't be happening to me." she sobed then slowly passed out.

Will lifted her and return her to her bed, he turned to the rest, "please excuse us."

"No,no...no..." Shelby held onto Candice, "you know it's not possible."she whispered, "I...I did, I'd the procedure..."

"Shhhh!" Candice patted her

When she sniffled, Candice release her hold on her, "I don't know much of what's going on but I know for certain you need to rest, do try and relax, I'll see what I can find."

Shelby nodded then let Candice help her to bed.

"Please, relax so that you can think, and that way you will be able to get to the bottom of it."

Shelby nodded as she began to think

Candice nodded briefly at Will then walked away with Ryan, "I think you should go, I'll stay till she's a lot calmer."

Ryan nodded then left the hospital

Candice went to archive and demanded for Shelby medical history.

****

"Are you okay?" Will asked after awhile.

Shelby smiled tiredly, "this must have been hard on you, I..I didn't mean to panic..."

"Hey? It's okay, you are allowed to panic." Will squeezed her hand tight, "it not that bad." he patted her hand, "it's not exactly a terrible thing."

Shelby chuckled, "as usual. is it really possible for you to say something terrible."

He grinned, "I wasn't trying to say something nice, its just that the fact that you are pregnant isn't really a terrible premonition."

"Premonition?"

"Yeah, the baby isn't here yet, there's still time."

Shelby eyes widened, "you are a genius, why didn't I think of that?"

"What?"

"The baby it's isn't here yet, if I'm truly pregnant, I can always get rid of the fetus before it's born" she stood, "I should go see the doctor right away."

"Wait..." Will grabbed her hand, "is it me or is there more to this?"

"What?" she paused

"I've seen the way you care for the twins and the way you are towards your siblings, so why, is the thought of bearing my child that traumatizing?"

"What!" she exclaimed, "no... I...It....what are you thinking?" she faltered and sat on the bed.

"I..it's just that I don't understand why you don't want the baby.

She scoffed, "you know I like planning everything in advance...,"

"So what, it's doesn't fit into your timeline?"

"Yeah, it's sounds odd when you put it like that but it's one of the reasons." she shrugged, "besides it's not as if you want the baby."

"And if I do?" he stood over her and kissed her lightly, "and if I do?"

"Will?" she stared at her feet the stoled a glance at him.

Will tilted her head up then kissed her, "I want this baby Shelby."

Shelby smiled sadly as tears drops from her eyes, "you knew..."

"Shelby?"

"You weren't suprised."

"Not exactly."

She pushed him away suddenly, as if she got burned.

"It's isn't what you think." Will move closer and grabbed her, "I noticed a condom break a few months back but I was never bothered since you've always got me covered."

"And..."

"Huh?"

"Speak..." she whispered against his lips, "my brain works faster than you think so before I end up with the wrong conclusion, justify yourself."

"I guessed... I didn't know you aren't aware, we practically spent the last three months in the same bed every night and not once did you deny me, you haven't had your menstrual period this year, I think... so..." he shrugged, "I guess I was waiting for the bombshell."

"And you didn't think it's was wise to tell me."

"Sorry." he kissed her, "I thought, it's wasn't so."

Shelby relaxed, "sorry..."

"It's okay, do you want to go meet the gynaecologist or will you go when you are done with the nutrients?"

Shelby grinned, "so you are affected?"

"What?"

She grinned then sat on the bed, "you only forget things when you are emotionally strained and you forgot you told them to bring the gyenacolgist before me."

He scoffed, "it's a tough situation."

"True, but she will soon be here."

"And how do you know she's a lady?"

The doctors opened the door at that moment, "we've met before."

"Oh!" Will exclaimed.

"Get that mind out of the gutter, it's not for the reasons you think, she's my distance cousin, but more like an aunt, and my doctor for over 15years."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, and she happened to be in charge of my tube." she turned to the doctor, "how on earth am I pregnant?"

"The procedure wasn't successful."

"And you didn't think to inform me before?"

"You've been exceptionally busy this past few months."

"Busy?" she stood, "I've never been busy for this type of things and you know it."

"Fine." Dr hedgemon dropped the file on the bed, "I didn't go through with the procedure."

"What?"

Candice walked in with Shelby medical files with her.

"I guess you would have found out sooner or later." she replied as she looked at the file,

Shelby outstretched her hand for the file which Candice handed to her.

"You didn't do the procedure at all?" she closed the file angrily.

"Yes and I also unknot your tube."

Shelby threw the file at Dr. hedgemon angrily, "I'm getting an abortion."

"You can't."

"If you refused to I'll just get it done elsewhere."

"No doctor worth his license will do it for you."

"You know I can make you loose that stupid license you are so proud of."

"True but it won't solve your problem."

"Yeah but it might reduce my anger."

"Then please do, anger isn't good for the baby and you need to start thinking about the young one."

Shelby heaved, "we both know I'm too selfish to do that."

"Shelby, you are also a medical practitioner, this baby..."

"Please process my discharge." She turned to Will then to Dr. hedgemon, "I'll be back for you when I'm done trashing this."

"There's nothing more to do than having this baby, the fetus is past the first trimester, it's might kill you to do otherwise."

"What?" Will paused by the door.

Dr. hedgemon turned to him, "I assumed you are the father?"

"You assume correctly."

"Then let me make another."

Will raised a brow.

"I'll like to think you care a tiny bit more about her than just a hole to put your dick."

Will winked, the stole a glance at Shelby.

"You can always throw her out." Shelby shrugged.

"Get to the point..." Will return his attention to the doctor.

"Well if you are or value her life a tiny bit...then you wouldn't let her go ahead with the procedure, it's best done when the fetus is under 8 weeks, manageable in the next 4 weeks but dangerous in the next two weeks and terminally dangerous after that, she has used up all lifeline, she's sixteen weeks gone....sixteen, her luck expired a month ago."

"Then.. what can we do?"

"Congratulations, in less than 24 weeks you will be a father."

Shelby remove her drip then threw it at the doctor and Will, "this all your fault...If... If either of you had told me..."

"Calm down..." Candice held her.

"No..no... if either of them had..."

"Shhhh!" she held her, "breath in, breath out."

"I..."

"Shhhh!, follow me." Candice held Shelby and took her on breathing exercises

Shelby heaved then removed her hands from Candice hand, "I think you should...'

"It's wouldn't work now..." Dr hedgemon started.

"I think you should keep quiet now." Candice lashed at her.

"Yeah, you aren't helping the matter..." Will agreed.

"Sorry, I meant you should up your game, pregnancy hormones might be the one triggering her attacks."

"Or you."

"Or you."

Will and Candice turned to her

"Throw her out, them... Both of them." Shelby heaved.

Will open the door and escorted the doctor out.

"I'll have you discharge the think of what next to do."

"Yeah and make sure khleen doesn't return."

"Yeah and I'll get the nurse to come clean that." she gesture to the arm where Shelby was bleeding.

"Please do, I feel dizzy already."

Candice patted her shoulder then walked out leaving her alone.
