The Law of Attraction

Liam finally reached the said pharmacy and quickly went inside.

"Give me all kinds of pregnancy tests that you have here." he immediately asked the employee at the counter. Liam wanted to be absolutely sure, so he bought all the brands they had in two pieces and quickly went back inside the car.

He had never felt this excited in his whole life, he could feel his stomach tightening and his hands getting colder. He was nervous as hell and silently prayed hoping the test would be a positive… 

He was sincerely hoping that Lana was pregnant with their first baby. This mere thought made him ecstatic with joy.

"Eating and sleeping a lot more than normal are also signs of pregnancy, right?" He could not help but ask his driver.

"Well, you can say that, Sir. My wife had her cravings at an early stage… during the first trimester. Urgh, I suffered a lot because of her crazy tantrums and weird pregnancy symptoms." The driver said, having a bitter expression as he recalled his turmoil during those days.

"What do you mean?" Liam asked with collided eyebrows.

"Well, my wife was always irritated when she saw me and kept nagging me for no apparent reason… Always blamed me for the simplest things. In short, I became her emotional punching bag. She was not like that before, but the doctor said that it happens with all women since mood swings are a primary symptom of pregnancy. 

I'm not sure about what exactly causes this, but it's something related to the hormones of a woman, something like this happens because the hormones are not in a proper balance. 

Oh, Sir… I really hope you won't experience the same case as me. It was almost traumatic for me, especially when she suddenly got angry for no apparent reason at all. I was truly grateful that this was not the case during our second baby, my wife has normal moods already, so I guess it differs from case to case." The driver narrated.

Liam laughed and trumpeted, "I honestly don't mind my wife having mood swings. I can be her punching bag for life…"

The driver laughed and commented, "I hope you can say the same once you really experience it, sir. Anyway, I hope you have a positive result with the pregnancy, sir. I can feel you're really looking forward to it. Being a father is really the best that can happen to us in our lifetime, sir."

"Yeah, I agree. I'm really looking forward to it." Liam answered, still smiling brightly. His father was his idol, and he wanted to be like him. He actually felt sad that his father's life and time revolved only around him and his sister since they were born. He was so proud of his father, and hoped he could be the kind of parent his father was to him, to his future children.

'That man should have time for himself now that we are all grown up and settled. Maybe I should ask Miley to push him for going on a date with a nice woman.' he mused and told himself that it was time they helped their father in finding a companion for lifetime.

His face darkened at the thought of the woman who broke not only his father's heart but his and Miley's as well. He knew his father still loved that woman, but it was time his father moved on. He deserved to be happy.

The car finally arrived at the hotel and Liam immediately dashed back to their room so Lana could take the test.

"Love…" he enthusiastically called out to her as he went inside the room.

"Love?" he called again, but there was no response. Liam walked to the side of the bed and saw Lana was already deep in sleep.

Sitting with bended knees on the floor, he stared at his beautiful wife peacefully sleeping, contemplating whether to wake her up or not. He was really excited and itching to find out if his wife was finally pregnant. She had all the signs and symptoms he had heard about.

He heaved a sigh and put the paper bag containing the pregnancy tests at the bedside table. He leaned forward to give her a gentle kiss on the lips and touched her cheek, caressing it gently.

"Love…" he called, and repeated himself thrice, but there was still nothing, she was fast asleep. Lana even had those little snores. So, Liam stood back up and prepared to join Lana on the bed.

Maybe he should just wait for Lana to wake up or do the tests tomorrow morning, but something in his chest tickled him and he could not help wanting to know the result at that very moment.

Liam joined Lana on the bed and sat down, resting his head and back on the headrest. He sighed as he looked at Lana beside him, hoping Lana would move and open her eyes so he could ask her to take the Pregnancy test that instant.

"Love, why are you sleeping so soundly and deeply. It's still too early." he hummed in the air.

He released more sighs. He could not sleep at all. He laid down and hugged Lana, whispering, "Love.."

Lana finally moved and Liam's eyes brightened, and he said, "love, wake up… You need to do something."

"Love, I'm really exhausted please let me sleep. Let's do whatever it is tomorrow, when I wake up." Lana growled with a complaining tone. Liam gulped because she sounded annoyed, so he controlled himself not to wake her up. Her answer was a hiss and she would surely beat him up hard if he persisted to wake her up.

Liam impatiently sighed, wondering if his excitement would let him sleep that night. He once again hugged Lana and tried whispering, "Love… I think you are pregnant and I bought a lot of pregnancy tests for you to try, do you really want to sleep and take them tomorrow?"

"I'll do it tomorrow," Lana sluggishly replied because she was too sleepy. But then Liam's words suddenly registered in her mind and she opened her eyes that very instant to hastily turn around to face Liam.

"What?!" she burst.

Liam grinned. Finally…

"I said, I think you are pregnant, so I rushed over to the pharmacy and got you all kinds of pregnancy tests to check."

"Oh my God… But why are you expecting so much so soon? It's better we don't expect anything so that we won't get disappointed if it doesn't happen." Lana beamed as she sat on the bed, wide awake.

Liam stood and picked up the cup in the paper bag and handed it to Lana, saying, "Here… Pee in this and I will do the tests…"

Lana: "....?"
