Wing Of Change
Chapter 76

They arrived at the hospital and very much seated at Doctor Clark’s office to be precise. The man has been her gynaecologist for the past month now ever since she registered and began her antenatal.

His office smell like it has been mopped recently because it reeks of strong disinfectant.

They continued to wait in silent for her doctor to make an appearance at the door.

Meanwhile_Aria hasn’t stop glancing at the rest room since they arrived and Frank couldn’t help but noticed her discomfort as well.

“Are you okay? You look like you want to use the bathroom” Frank had asked staring at her with concern.

“I used the bathroom before we left home remember? I still feel like going in one more time though” she admitted quite frankly.

“Is that normal? Or you had too much to drink”

Before she could answer. A middle age man walked in through the door with an orange folder in hand.

His lab coat a sparkling white.

“Sorry am late” he apologized before settling on the arm chair before them.

“You are welcome Doc.” Frank had replied with a nod.

Aria sat beside her fiancée on the opposite chair_hand in hand while the doctor scan through the folder on the table.

Aria was in her second trimester.

After reading from her previous appointment chart, he stared back at the elegant pregnant Lady seating beside her boyfriend.

Today was his first day of attending to her. He was taking over from her previous doctor.

He glance at her fingers, wondering how to address the lovely couple before he settled for ‘ms’ with a polite smile.

“How are you ms. Aria” he asked politely.

“I’m fine thank you”

“I’m sure you are wondering why am here and not Doctor Clark” he paused and stared back at both of them.

“My name is Doctor Ogar. The founder of fight against child mortality and also a gynaecologist as you might have realized by now and I will be attending to you from now on. With that said and done, I will to ask you a few questions okay?”

“Okay!”

“Have you experienced any sudden pain or discomfort around your abdomen lately?” The middle age looking man had asked staring at his pregnant patient through his lens.

“Other than the usual kicking of the baby? It’s a no no experience”

She watched as he jotted down her response before looking back at her with a genuine smile.

“That’s a normal reaction, if I may add. It’s an indication that your baby is growing actively well”

Aria couldn’t agree any less as she gave a nod of confirmation instead.

They went on and on with more questions before he handed her a blue robe to go change into so he can proceed with physical examination.

The ride back home turned out to be a little bit awkward. Frank seemed to be lost in another world. He hasn’t uttered a single word since they left the hospital.

Was he bothered by something? Aria wasn’t sure. She even tried to make little conversation in which he could give a short reply.

At first, she thought he was probably exhausted from getting cooked up with her at the hospital all day but noticed something else flashed in his eyes when his hand wryly sweep across his face with a deep sigh.

When she couldn’t take it anymore, she pulled at his free hand causing him to raise a brow at her direction.

“Are you upset about something?” Her question must have caught him off guard as he stared blankly at her before his eyes went back to focus on the road.

“No am not. Why do you ask?”

Aria answered with a pout not sure of what to say anymore. If he is okay and not upset about something then it must be the product of her own imagination

“Well, because you haven’t said a word since we left the hospital. So I just thought you are upset or something”

His feet slip off the gas paddle voluntarily, Slowing the speed of the car down before glancing at her one more time.

Frank eyes beheld his pregnant fiancé with concern before reaching out a hand to squeeze at hers.

He felt her relax under his touch as she stared up at him intently. He could only wonder what crazy thought that are making the rounds in her head at that point.

She tends to be really emotional lately.

Maybe it’s the pregnancy that is seriously messing with her hormone. He thought.

“Nothing is wrong okay? Am Sorry if I gave off a wrong signal. I guess I just has a lot to think about”

Her expression quickly went from moody to excited as she looked back at him.

“Is it about work? You can share your thought with me”

A low chuckle actually erupt from his lips before shaking his head at her. “I don’t think you will like my thought very much” he teased.

“Try me then” she countered back.

He studied her for a bit. Feeling hesitant even before he finally gave in with a sigh. “Okay”

“I’m thinking about bringing Daniel over for the weekend” he paused and looked at her_probably waiting for a reaction.

“Okay!” She answered simply with a shrug.

His head snapped at her direction not sure if he hears correctly.

“You are cool with it?”

She answered with a shrug. “Why won’t I be? I mean as long as his mom is not tagging along then I guess I can look forward to spending time with the kid”

“Oh,okay then. I will get him by weekend. His mom can’t object to it or tag alone because she is obviously not welcome”

“Alright then”

They were both quiet for a bit with frank giving her a sideways glance. She seem not bothered at all. I mean_ after what happened the last time, he thought she would strongly object to it but he guess not.

Aria was bigger than hatred. Part of the reason he is thankful she is all his.

“Thank you babe.” He blurted out after a while.

“Hmm?”

“For having such a big heart. I love you”

Aria couldn’t content her smile at his words as a wide grin quickly spread across her face in an instant.

“I love you too”

He reached out a hand and squeeze gently at her with happiness glittering in his eyes.

Everything in his life at that moment was perfect. It was more than what he wished for.
