Chapter 50
It was morning again and another day to be precise. Lisa had woken up to meet Daniel sitting by her side smiling at her.
She stared at him strangely before sitting properly on the bed. “Good morning ” Daniel muttered softly and Lisa smiled at him and returned the greetings.
She was a little bit surprised waking up to see Daniel by her side.
Daniel placed his hands on her tummy and asked her how she was feeling and she said she was doing well.
Just then ma’am Lois walked in holding a cup of coffee.
“Good morning ma’am Lois ” Lisa smiled and ma’am Lois smiled at her and handed her the coffee before walking out of the room.
“So Lisa I created a to do list for us” Daniel said and brought out a paper and Lisa almost choked on her coffee.
To do list? She scoffed and dropped her coffee then took the paper and started reading it loudly.
She first smiled when she read out the first line. He wanted her to visit the hospital and he was going to come with her. And the second was to go shopping for the unborn baby and the third they would both go to the beach together.
She raised up her head and stared at Daniel for some seconds before staring back at the paper.
She knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to do everything to get her busy and help her heal fast. She really appreciated it. She wondered if everyone was as kind as Daniel. Right from the day she met him, she knew it, she felt he was a good person.
“Common, go take your bath and come downstairs for breakfast” Daniel said and Lisa nodded in response.
“Aren’t you going to work today?” Lisa asked
“No, but I might later” he said and stood up then walked out of the room smiling.
Meanwhile, Lisa had stood up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom. She took her bath and came out of the bathroom.
Applied lotion on her body and put on a simple dress then went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, Daniel had let Lisa rest a bit before taking her to the hospital. After they left the hospital, he took her to the nearest restaurant and bought her food. Lisa ate till she was filled , after that they both made their way to the shopping mall to buy some baby stuff.
“Oh wow I like this one. The designs are so beautiful ” Lisa said as she saw a beautiful baby cap.
“Are you sure you like it?” Daniel asked smiling
“Of Course I do” Lisa said and Daniel took four of it then placed it in The cart.
“Why did you put four? I’m not going to give birth to quadruplets” Lisa said and giggled.
“Who knows if it’s sextuplets” Daniel said and added two more baby caps.
“Oh my goodness!! Daniel” Lisa laughed out loud. Daniel smiled as he saw how happy she was.
“Everything we will pick here today each will be six in number,” Daniel said and Lisa chuckled slightly.
“You must be kidding me Daniel,” Lisa said, still laughing out loud, drawing attention to themselves.
“I bet you would wanna lower your voice, All eyes on us” Daniel said and winked at Lisa who covered her mouth while laughing.
After a while she stopped laughing and told Daniel she needed to use the restroom and then she left. This time Daniel was now alone picking up the baby things himself when suddenly he came in contact with someone. It was Tessa.
“Oh my goodness!! Daniel what are you doing here” Tessa said and stared at him suspiciously as she stared at the different baby things in his cart.
“I should be asking you that. Are you pregnant?” Daniel asked and Tessa burst into laughter.
“No, I’m not, I came here with a friend of mine who is pregnant and would give birth any moment from now” Tessa said and Daniel nodded
“How about you? Did you come alone??” Tessa paused and Daniel swallowed hard. He just didn’t want Tessa to see Lisa because if she does, she was definitely going to tell her mom and it would cause a great disaster.
“Oh yes, I came with a friend Of mine, he’s gone to his car to get something . His wife has given birth today so we decided to do some shopping for her and the baby” Daniel said and Tessa stared at him suspiciously not believing any single word he said. He noticed that Daniel was acting strangely like he was hiding something.
He’s known Daniel for years and he doesn’t even have a close friend or even a single friend here. All he cares about is work , business and family. How come he now has a new friend? Something is off, she thought and just then a young pregnant woman walked towards Tessa holding.
“Tessa has been looking everywhere. I need your help. I need to get my things to my car” the young lady said and paused immediately when she saw Daniel.
He recognized him at once. He was the guy Tessa had been telling her about all this while. He’s really so cute, she could now understand why Tessa just Can’t get over him.
She smiled at Daniel.
“I’m Lydia. Tessa must have told you about me already ” she said and brought forth her hands for hand shake.
Daniel smiled and shook her in return. “Common Tessa , we should leave now . I need to go to the hospital today and you’re coming with me” Lydia said and Tessa nodded.
“I’ll be leaving now. See you some other time” Tessa said and with that he left with Lydia.
“He’s really cute,” Lydia said as they walked towards their car.
“Yes I know” Tessa said, putting on a worried look on.
“Hey, what’s up? What’s that sad face about?” Lydia asked as they entered the car.
“It’s nothing ” Tessa said
*****
“What took you so long?” Daniel asked Lisa as she walked towards him.
“Oh, I lost my way while going to the restroom ” Lisa said and Daniel nodded.
