chapter twenty seven
Mark drove to a place but because it was dark, I couldn't really see where we were going. Plus I was getting a bit tired. My mind was wrapped in the phone I received earlier and the baby. I was trying to get the best way of telling Mark about it.
Mark seemed in a really good mood cos instead of putting music on, he sang along instead. 'So, what do you think about the song?' Mark chipped in. 'Huh?' 'You weren't listening were you darl? Is everything alright?' 'Yeah, sure! I'm sorry I wasn't listening. Mark, can you please pull up for a second?'
We were driving through this beautiful blue river under the moon light. Luckily it was on our left so it was a perfect place to stop. 'Is everything alright Em?' 'Yeah, can you please pull up here? Please?' I turned to look at him and gave him my best smile and a begging look. 'Alright. Not for long okay?'
He pulled up and I went out. 'Come see here Mark! Come on!' Mark jumped out of the car and went walking beside me. 'This isn't the normal you Em. Since when are you so romantic huh?' I grinned.
'Look at the gorgeous river Mark. Isn't it beautiful?' 'Yeah! Very beautiful.' 'I hope our first child is going to be that gorgeous.' I gave him a hint. 'Huh? What are you talking about Em?' 'Well, my dearest Mark, you are going to be a father!'
'WHA'?! Ah, you must be joking Em..' From his tone he knew that I wasn't joking. 'I'm more serious than ever.' 'AHHHH!!!! That's great!! That's one of the best news I've ever heard in a long time!! Well, despite the doctor declaring that you're completely detoxed now. That's brilliant!'
He lifted me up and when my feet finally touched the ground, he kissed me. It felt different but very nice. Very very nice in fact! 'Whoa Mark! If you kiss me like that everytime, I swear I'll get pregnant as often as I can!' Mark laughed and I started to giggle with him.
When we finally finished laughing, he looked me straight in the eye. 'Emily, I've been wanting to say this to you since ages ago.' 'What? You're not pregnant too right?' He gave me a huge smile. I wanted to giggle but I held it back, 'No, of course not. Why? Do you want me to?' I shook my head and pulled my head down. I was wondering what he wanted to tell me.
