Capítulo 2: Chapter 1
In the study, Tristan was checking his emails on the laptop while Ava was seated on his lap, her head lying on his chest. "Tristan…," Ava called his name softly.
"Hmm?" his gaze still on the laptop.
"Tristan…," She repeated.
"Tell me, I am listening," he replied.
Silently she started playing with his shirt's buttons. Tristan understood why she was feeling restless and closed his laptop. Every time he has to go on a business trip, Ava tends to be clingy. During dinner, he informed her that he would be gone for a week. After that, she followed him wherever he went and kept on calling his name, not saying anything.
Tristan never expected married life to be so blissful. They rarely argued. Most of the time, Tristan fulfilled Ava's requests, but when it came to her safety, he did not budge.
Except for work, Ava wanted Tristan within her sight all the time. He remembered when they went to the Wesley house, Ava's parents had asked her to stay that night. Ava responded that she would stay, only if Tristan would agree. Her parents sighed, thinking their daughter only had eyes for Tristan after they got married, and the rest all came in second, including her parents.
"Do you want to come with me?'' Tristan questioned.
"No, there is a jewelry exhibition next week, and there is still a lot of work I need to finish," Ava replied.
"Little one, I will try to come home early. We can go for an outing when I arrive," Tristan suggested.
"I want to visit the X beach where Sara went last week. It's so beautiful," Ava was amazed seeing Sara's travel photos.
"Sure, whatever you want," Tristan traced her cheek.
"Tristan, I will miss you," Ava pouted.
Tristan's face softened, "Me too, I promise to video chat with you daily."
"But that's not the same as you being beside me. I will miss your hugs," Ava was quite immature, and her parents thought after getting married she may change, but with Tristan's extreme pampering, she became more spoiled.
Tristan's lips quickly found Ava's, and he kissed her to his heart's content.
The next day when Ava opened her eyes, the spot next to her bed was empty. Tristan had an early morning flight, and seeing her sleeping so peacefully, he did not have the heart to wake her up.
She saw a note on the bedside table stating she should have meals at the correct time and take a driver if she wants to go anywhere.
Ava was having breakfast when she heard the doorbell. One of the servants opened the door, and Sara was standing there.
"Sis, you are here. When did you return from your trip," Ava asked.
"Yesterday afternoon. Finish your breakfast quickly. I am here to take you shopping," Sara replied.
Tristan knew Sara doted a lot on her little sister. He was worried Ava would feel lonely and requested Sara to accompany her.
After having breakfast, Ava went to get ready.
When Ava did not return after thirty minutes, Sara went upstairs to check what she was doing.
In the walk-in closet, Sara found Ava unconscious on the floor, Sara panicked and rushed towards her.
"Ava Ava …, wake up," Sara kneeled beside her.
There was no sign of Ava opening her eyes, so Sara called the doctor.
"Doctor, what happened to Ava, is she okay," Sara was tense.
"Congratulations, Ava is three weeks pregnant," the doctor informed.
Sara was stunned for a moment, but slowly a huge smile formed on her face.
After giving a set of instructions, the doctor left.
Sara covered Ava with a blanket and sat next to Ava, waiting for her to wake up.
After an hour, Ava opened her eyes, she felt dizzy and tired.
"Slow down …," Sara adjusted the pillows behind Ava's back for her to comfortably lean on.
"What happened, why am I here?" Ava asked.
"Don't you remember, you fainted while getting ready? I was so scared and called the doctor. After checking, he informed me you are pregnant ". Sara rejoiced.
"Pregnant …," Ava's hand immediately went to her stomach.
"Yes my little sister will be a mom soon," Sara beamed.
"I want to inform Tristan," Ava took her phone.
Sara chuckled and said, "Okay, I will inform mom and dad too."
Ava called Tristan, and as the call got connected, she said, "Hello Tristan …"
"Ma'am, this is Jack, Sir is in a meeting. Do you want me to inform him of anything," PA Jack asked.
"No, nothing urgent. Tell him to call me later," Ava replied.
The meeting went on for a long time; it was night by the time it ended. PA Jack informed Tristan of all the calls and emails which he received during the meeting. Hearing Ava called, he decided to return her call first because everything else can wait.
"Little one, what are you doing? Did you have dinner?" Tristan asked.
"Yes. Tristan, I want to say something important, '' Ava said.
"Hmm tell me …," Tristan was standing in front of the elevator.
"I am ..pregnant," Ava softly stated.
Tristan was about to enter the elevator, but after hearing her news, he was rooted to the spot.
"Sir, are you coming," the lift operator asked.
"No …," Tristan's voice slightly trembled.
He walked to a nearby window where there was no one, and it was absolute silence.
"What were you saying?" Tristan asked her once again to confirm whether he had heard it correctly.
"Tristan, I am pregnant," Ava said, cheerfully.
It took a few seconds for Tristan to register everything. Ava was pregnant with his child. This felt so unreal, like a dream come true. After his father's death and mother's betrayal, the one thing he craved most was to have a family of his own.
"Tristan, are you there?" Ava spoke, seeing there was no response from the other side.
"Ava is someone with you now?" Tristan asked.
"Hmm …Sara is with me," Ava replied.
"Good. Be careful, I will be home soon," Tristan stated.
Tristan handed the remaining work to PA Jack and immediately boarded his private jet. He was counting the minutes when he will be in front of Ava.
