LOST LOVE

PREGNANCY

James pov

I woke up from my sleep. I overslept today. Maybe she was tired of the party. I was in the bedroom, but Cat was not here. I brushed my teeth and washed the alcohol from my breath.

Yesterday's birthday function went well. Mom was really happy. Catherine didn't say anything about the business trip or my overtime work. Dad was not so happy with me, but he didn't ruin the party. He said that we needed to sit and talk, which I gladly accepted. Well, I don't have a choice. Susan was also not so lovely to me. I don't know her reason.

I came downstairs to meet Catherine. She was having a peaceful break. She took bites of the burger and slowly chewed the piece. Usually she calls me to wake up, and she will only have a break after being given to me. This was new. She must be busy with her office job. This is why I told her to stay at home. It is fine. After a few more days, she will stop working by herself.

"Cat, are you going to the office?" I asked. Isn't it early?
"Yeah," she said, looking only at her plates. She didn't ask me to eat or even say good morning. Is she avoiding me? No, that's not possible.

Her phone rang. She picked it up and stood on the chair.
She said, 'I will be there soon, to the phone and went to wash the plates. Did she forget about me? . She didn't break fast for me. I waited there. She came back from the kitchen.

"I am leaving," she said, and she walked out. Seriously. What about me? Should I starve?
"Do you want me to drive you?" I asked her. I know a husband's duty.
" No."" With that, she went. She said no to me. She never said that to me before.

I looked at the kitchen. It was clean. She cooked and cleaned the area. But she cooked only for her. There is nothing for me to eat. I will have something from outside, I decided.

I opened my wardrobe. My clothes are not ironed. Catherine forgot this. I will tell her when she arrives. I was in a bad mood because of this. I never had to think about these things before. She was always a dutiful wife. But the new job changed her a lot. The shoes were also not polished. How on earth did she forget all these?

I reached my office. They are all looking at me weirdly. It may be because of the wrinkled shirt. I have maintained a great appearance. But today, it changed.

I sat on my chair. There are many files on my table. I was starting to work but stopped by my phone. It was Elena. Why is she calling me in the morning? I thought.
"What is it, Elena?" I asked. I haven't heard anything from her after the party. I am mad at her. She was making things hard for us.
"Come home; it is very urgent," she said. Her voice was shaking.
"Tell me, Elena. I am not free today, I said sharply. There is no time for her game.
"James, please. This is important. I can explain it on the phone, she said. Her voice is breaking. Is she crying?

I asked again, 'What's the matter?' but she hung up.
A lot of things ran through my mind. I didn't waste time and ran to my penthouse, where she was staying. It was not far away from the office.

The door was opened, but everything was perfect inside. I looked for Elena but didn't see her, so I went to the bedroom. Elena was in bed. She was crying.
"Elegan, what happened?" I asked her. She cried loudly. My heart was beating fast.
"Tell me, Elena," I asked, placing my hand on her. She sat down and hugged me tightly.
"I am sorry, James," she said. What did she do? I was confused.
"Tell me clearly, Elena?" I asked again, but she was not in a state to answer. I waited for her to compose. but my eyes went to the table near the bed. There was a pregnancy test on it. I took it in my hand and analyzed it. It has two lines.

I know what it means. But this is fast. I never decided on a family with Elena. I was always careful with her.
"Are you pregnant?" I asked her, but the answer was clear from the test.
"Yes," she said in a very low voice.

I felt dizzy. How am I going to do this? What should I do with Elena? What about Catherine?. My social status. The company's reputation. My parents.

"Eleanor? " I called her. She was crying in my arms. I am the reason for her state.
"Please don't tell me to abort. This baby is mine. I need it, she said, holding her tummy.
How can I say that? To kill a baby The baby is mine too. I wanted a baby, but Catherine's medical condition was not good. She was in the hospital for a long time. And then, when she came back, she had to regain her health.

"No, I didn't say that." I comforted her. I am now a dad. I should stand up and protect my child. Within ten months, there will be a baby to call my dad.

"But what should we do? This baby needs a dad, she said. Yes, the baby needs a dad. I should take the responsibility. I can't be a coward. My mom wanted a baby. Dad will also have to accept this child. Then everything will end well. But what about Catherine? She has a place in my heart. I know she loves me too much. Well, now my priority is my baby and her mom.

I was happy to be a dad. Having a child is everyone's dream. But Catherine must be sad.

I walked out of the door. She called me.
"Are you angry with me?" she asked.
"I am not. I am overwhelmed. Being a dad is always the best thing in life, I answered. I was confused about whether I should choose Catherine or Elena. But now I think I have the answer.

"Where are you going? Can you stay with me? she asked. I know a pregnant lady needs her man's support and presence.

"I need to clear things first," I said while going to my car. I drove to the house where I and my cat were living. Not me; I spent most of my time with Elena. I need to tell all this to Catherine first. I am a dad now. My baby is important for me.

I waited for Catherine to come back. She came from the office and went straight to the bedroom.
"Cat, sit here," I called her. She was surprised to meet me now. She stood there, not moving.

"Catherine, sit. I want to tell you something important. I said this with a hard voice.

She placed her bag on the couch and placed the phone on the table. She sat on the sofa, giving all her attention to me. I don't know how she takes everything. I was so ready to explain everything to her. But now, when I see her innocent face, I can't say a word. I know this will shatter her heart. She must feel sad. I am the reason for everything. I promised forever for her, but I can't fulfill it now. She hoped for a happy life with me, but now it is impossible. Whatever she wants, I need to do it for her.

"Catherine I." I can't find words. She was waiting for me to finish.
"What is it, James?" she asked.
"Catherine, I have a relationship with another woman," I blurted out. My eyes are down. I didn't look at her face.
"It is Elena. She is pregnant now, I completed. She didn't shout. She didn't say anything. She was silent. It makes me feel more guilty. Her silence is killing me.

"Say something, cat," I said. Her eyes became cold. She looked at me like a cheap thing.
"What should I do now, Catherine?" I asked her. I know I did all these by myself. But I can't find a solution.

"Tell the news to your family, friends, and everyone," she said, breaking the silence.
"Cat," I don't know how to. But my baby shouldn't be named Father Less. She didn't say anything more. I need to announce this. My parents always wanted a grandchild. So they have to accept this. After knowing this news, my dad has to give the company to me.
"I will arrange a dinner and announce them," I said. I was thinking she would ball out, but it didn't happen; instead, she stood up.
"Bye, by the way, congratulations, James," she said, going upstairs.

I was shocked. How can she act so calm? Is she fed up with me? .
