Convincing her

The two of them continued to talk for a while waiting for the doctor's diagnosis. Since they were doing comprehensive tests, they ended up taking a bit longer. Lucas eventually couldn't hold on anymore and dozed off while still sitting next to Jen's bed.

She did not wake him up because she knew that if she suggested he sleep on the other bed in the room he will refuse and try to resist his fatigue. So she just calmly played with his hair as she waited for the doctors to come back with the test result.

Lucas was able to get another thirty minutes of sleep before he was woken up by the arrival of the doctors. He tiredly opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the three doctors who had come into the room.

The one who seemed to be in charge greeted them and went to check Jen's IV. This job that was normally done by the interns was being done by one of the top doctors in the hospital. They did not dare to neglect Jen because of the people who had called to ask them to take care of this couple. 

After they found out the man's identity, they understood that if they slack off, he had the ability to buy the hospital just to kick them out.

"Is everything alright doctor?" Jen asked as she looked at the doctor's careful movements.

"Miss Larson," the doctor started and saw some colour had returned to her previously pale face. Lucas only chuckled when he saw her now pink cheeks but didn't tease her for it, he would do that later.

"Yes?" Jen responded after clearing her throat. 

"We found that you have mild anaemia, but that is probably because of the changes in your body," the doctor said as he looked at the chart in front of him.

"Changes?" she repeated and looked at the doctor in confusion. Seeing her confused expression, the doctor figured that she was unaware of her circumstances.

"Congratulations, you are pregnant," the doctor said with a smile. Jen froze for a second before turning to Lucas who was also surprised, of course, it wasn't as much as she was. They used to avoid the risky days when they lived together, but after they had been apart, that had never stood in the way. In fact, it was like Jen had forgotten all about the riskier days during the month and would just do it whenever they were with each other, so this was inevitable.

After the initial surprise, Lucas's face broke out into a happy smile while Jen broke down in tears, which surprised everyone in the room.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked worriedly as he wiped away her tears.

"I was so scared, I thought it was some terminal illness, who knew it would be good news?" Jen said and buried her face in Lucas's chest and cried while laughing at the same time leaving everyone in the room feeling flustered.

"She needs to pay more attention to her diet, we'll give you a list of foods that she should have frequently. Would you like to do further exams on the fetus?" the doctor asked and the future parents both nodded.

"Prep her for an ultrasound," the doctor told one of the residents next to him. These were his most promising apprentices so he let them accompany him. After the doctor finished relaying his orders, Jen was prepared for the next test and this time they didn't have to leave the room and brought the machine into the room instead.

The doctor applied some gel on her still flat stomach and moved the wand on her stomach. Jen and Lucas both looked at the screen even though they both didn't understand what they were looking at. The doctor then pointed at a tiny that was of a slightly different colour.

"This is the fetus, by the looks of it, it looks to be around six weeks old," he said while still looking at the screen. Both Jen and Lucas had their eyes fixated on the place the doctor had pointed at earlier.

"Would you like a picture?" the doctor asked when he saw that the two didn't look like they would have enough of looking at their baby.

"Yes please," Lucas said with a polite smile. The doctor took a few shots and printed them for the couple. 

"The baby looks fine and is holding on well, just pay attention to your diet during this period. We'll give you some medication to help you along the way," the doctor said and then listed a whole list of things they needed to be careful of before telling Jen to stay overnight for observation.

The moment the doctors closed the door behind them, Lucas laughed out loud and pushed Jen down on the bed before heavily kissing her. Jen was caught off guard and could only receive his affections with a smile because she was also very happy.

"Babe, we're going to be parents," Lucas said as he pressed his forehead against hers. Jen nodded furiously with her eyes glistening. She did not know that she would come to feel so excited about being pregnant. 

"Yes," Jen answered while smiling, holding his face in her hands. She rubbed her belly and Lucas also placed his hand on top of her tummy and Jen couldn't help but laugh at his now wonderous expression.

"I was thinking about moving to the penthouse but I think I should buy private property where we can stay comfortably," Lucas said as he sat back down. All the fatigue that was on his face earlier completely gone.

"Why?" Jen asked and Lucas looked at her as if wondering if she really didn't know.

"Waiting for an elevator to go upstairs was hell for me, it would also be easy for you to get hurt staying alone all day. I don't want to risk anything with the two of you," Lucas said as he smoothened out her hair.

"So you'll buy a house?" Jen asked with raised eyebrows and Lucas nodded.

"I'll buy a house here, but I'll also buy one back home," Lucas said and put his hand over her stomach again. He couldn't help but think that his hard work had finally paid off. 

"We'll get staff, a chef, a nutritionist and a bunch of house help," Lucas continued as he rubbed her tummy. Jen became flustered after hearing what he said, but she didn't argue because she knew he was doing this for her anyway.

"Okay," Jen agreed without a fuss. Lucas looked at her and couldn't help but feel that she looked even more lovable than before. He leaned forward again and kissed her slightly parted lips. Jen's eyes slightly widened but she soon closed them and kissed him back. She knew if they were home they might have ended up doing it. They had really been reckless.

Lucas kissed her until he was satisfied, when he let her go, her cheeks were flushed and her lips slightly swollen. He couldn't help but lean forward once more and steal another kiss.

"We're getting married next week," Lucas said against her lips and Jen's eyes popped open.
