Chapter 3

The two couples glanced at each other with a snort leaving the ladies lips followed by a roll of their eyes. Their earlier banter was still fresh in their minds.

The doctor shakingly reached for his face towel on his desk and dabbed it over his face. The news he was about to break to them would either cost him his life or his job or worse, his doctor's license. He shivered from the mere sight of the imposing tall figure at the back.

His icy blue eyes boring into the doctor's soul.

"Is something wrong doctor?"

The doctor faced Maya and suddenly laughed out dryly.

"Oh dear. Nothing is wrong at all," he added to clear the uneasiness his awkward laughter caused.

Maya heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment she thought that the procedure had gone wrong at some point but since that wasn't the case, there was nothing to worry about.

"There's just been a tiny mistake during the procedure you see." The doctor spoke which gained the attention of the four in an instant.

His shivering didn't stop, he looked nervous as hell to break the news to them. One thing he knew for sure was that the man at the back won't spare him.

Kelvin Sinclair wasn't a nobody. He was infact one of the people who controlled L.A.

"What mistake?"

The statue like man finally spoke. His voice deep and dry which didn't help the doctor in any way.

"The sperm samples were mixed up by accident," The doctor finally broke the news leaving them in an eery and deafening silence.

It took them a minute to break out of the shock.

"What?!" Maya sprang up to her feet with her hands on her belly.

The doctor was quick to stand up from his seat behind the desk. He shook his head slowly.

"There's still a chance that the procedure might fail. We just need two weeks to confirm if you both are pregnant or not."

"What manner of incompetence is this?! Do you realize what you've done here?!" Cameron barked almost strangling the poor sweaty doctor to death.

However, the two ladies were still in shock at what they just heard. Their hands fell on their belly caressing it gently. There was a high possibility that there might be a tiny being growing inside of them but the child might not belong to their respective partners.

Maya was the most dumbfounded. She sent a sharp glare to Kelvin Sinclair standing at a corner oozing out a deadly aura. He was indeed a man of few words only his expressions showed his true feelings right now.

"I'll rather have no kids at all than to bear yours!" She lashed out irritably and stormed out of the office not without bumping her shoulder against his arm.

Cameron gave one final look at the doctor "you'll hear from me soon!"

He quickly left the office to go after his wife.

"Did you hear that Kelvin?! There's a high chance that I'm pregnant with another man's baby! Are you happy now?! You know…if you had just slept with me in the first place none of this would have happened-"

"Enough!" His one worded response sent a shiver down her spine. He took some steps forward to the doctor who was now almost hiding behind his blue curtains.

"If you knew that you weren't ready to be a responsible gynecologist then why on earth did you choose to open a clinic?!"

"Mr Sinclair…we'll be able to tell if they're really pregnant two weeks from now."

Cameron fastened his seatbelt and started the car which slowly left the hospital. Next to him was Maya who was completely lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes were so puffy from crying so much. It wasn't in his nature to say 'i told you so' to anyone when something goes wrong. But, Maya's stubbornness to have a kid has soiled things pretty bad.

"If you had just listened to me-"

"I'm not ready to listen to you mock me about this Cameron!" She responded, cutting his off before he even began talking.

"I'm not trying to mock you Maya. If you had just exercised a little patience with me-"

"Patience?! That's all you keep telling me! Do you know how bored I get staying alone while you go to your fancy business trips at Paris, Hawaii and Dubai?.. Sometimes I feel like you don't even want kids!"

Her last words sank deep into his head. The car suddenly stopped causing her to launch forward since she wasn't putting on her seatbelt. She regained her posture and snapped her head to him.

"I'm doing all these for us! But you're so eager to push things forward and now look at where it has gotten you to. You're pregnant with another man's child. That's sick Maya!"

Maya was left in shock. Her jaw dropped in surprise at his outburst. There was a sudden rush of adrenaline and in a second, her hand met his face harshly causing an echo in the car..

Cameron wasn't the least surprised at her attack, he ran his tongue over his teeth trying to suck in his anger before he does something that he might regret later.

"I'm only stating the facts here. Maya. Just be hopeful that you turn out to be pregnant because I'm not sure that I might raise someone else's kid-"

Maya snorted and opened the car's door, she stepped out and slammed the door closer harder than necessary.

"Just get out of here!" She yelled at him amidst tears.

She turned around and began heading towards the opposite direction. All she wanted was some moment to clear her mind. Maybe Cameron was right after all, if she had just waited for a while longer things might be different.

But again, she had been trying for months now. How much longer does she have to wait before she finally conceived?

And for the first time in the last two years, she hoped not to be pregnant. In just two weeks, she'd be able to find out if she was truly pregnant or not. Till then, she'll continue having hope for the better.
