Chapter 35

Brandon totally saw it coming, but when it actually hit him, his heart skipped a beat, as if it got struck by something. That light, floaty feeling was pretty wild.

He couldn’t help but start picturing it all, the kiddo cozy in Sophia’s belly, growing up bit by bit.

Each daydream made the whole dad-to-be thing feel more real, more tangible.

The report Brandon was holding crinkled a bit with the anticipation bubbling up inside.

He glanced at Sophia, “Still puking your guts out?”

The softness in his eyes almost knocked her off her feet.

She dodged the question with a slight turn of her head, “It’s manageable.”

Brandon hummed in response, his gaze lingering on her petite frame before asking, “I’ve seen you pregnant before.”

So when he rocked up and saw her suddenly all skin and bones, plus the medical report casually left on the coffee table, the gears started turning, even though he didn’t dwell on it much then. But the way Sophia tried to play it off with a routine blood test report made it all too obvious.
