THE PROMISE

Chapter 25: It could never be the way I loved you

And it might be wonderful
It might be magical
It might be everything I've waited for,
A miracle
Oh, but even if I fall in love
Again with someone new
It could never be the way I loved you

MARCH 2018

MILEY'S POV

Nick talked to Sam and he agreed to trash the contract that has something to do with me and Liam's marriage. Our marriage got separated with the deal of their companies in exchange of Nick's hotel here in New York. Everything was settled, the contract was signed, and the only problem left was Liam.

Nick and I had been stealing moments with each other when Liam was out of town or when he was too busy for work. Unfortunately, Liam wasn't that occupied this week so I'm missing Nick.

So, Liam and I were lying naked in our bed. I felt so tired and I feel my eyes close willingly but shot open when I heard what Liam had just told me, "I'm so sorry if I can't give you a baby. I know you want it so bad but I just can't give it to you."

"It's okay, we could adopt, you know. If you want to."

"Maybe... But I like this better, just you and me, making love every night, not feeling scared that you might get pregnant."

"Yeah..."

"But if you want a kid, yes, we could adopt," he said, cheering me up.

I find it somehow a blessing that Liam and I didn't have a kid. There's nothing keeping us together except the marriage itself.

"I love you, Miley. I don't know what I would do without you."

I bit my lower lip and just closed my eyes, tried my best to fall asleep.

I normally feel dizzy when I wake up in the morning but its different today. I feel so sick, I think I ate badly yesterday, I think I have a stomach ache. I tried to get up but my tummy got worse and I felt like throwing up. I ran towards the bathroom with my hand clamped on my mouth and I threw up on the toilet. I stopped and washed my mouth with water but I found myself throwing up again. My stomach was really twitching. I screamed for my maid's name and told her to get the driver to drive me to the hospital. I got in the car clutching my tummy with one hand and one is clutching my cell phone. I kept calling Liam for a while and he wasn't picking up, I scrolled for the number I really should've called in the first place, and he answered on the second ring.

"Mi? Everything okay?"

"No, my tummy's hurting; I've been throwing up since I woke up."

"What, you want me to get you? Are you okay?"

"I'm on my way to the hospital right now."

"What hospital? I'll be there quick."

"St. Louis, hurry."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too."

I got inside the Emergency room; they gave me medicines before they ran some tests. Nick wasn't allowed to see me until after the tests so I got really delighted when I saw him.

NICK'S POV

I saw her lying on that white hospital bed in the emergency room and I noticed how pale she'd gotten.

"Mi..." I sat beside her and hugged her, "What happened?"

"I don't know. I'm still waiting for the test results."

"How are you feeling?"

"I actually feel better now."

I kissed her lips gently and caressed her cheek, "You'll be fine."

Someone cleared his throat behind us. I turned back and saw a doctor with a grin on his face.

"Hello, I'm here for Mrs. Miley Blakelee," Ah, Blakelee. I can't wait for the time when people would call her Mrs. Miley Grey.

"Yes, I'm Miley."

"Well, I have good news for you; you didn't catch a disease or something, it's pretty normal to feel this way for pregnant woman."

My eyes shot wide open, pregnant?

"Wait, I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, congratulations. You should go see a gynecologist after this. I'll leave you guys alone now."

Oh my God. Miley's pregnant, but who's the father? I turned to her and saw her surprised state. She wasn't moving, just sitting there on the bed with wide eyes. I held her hands and tried to comfort her.

"Liam can't get me pregnant, he's impotent."

"What do you mean?"

"It's yours, the baby's yours."

I smiled, don't get me wrong, I was nervous and scared but I've been waiting for this moment. I didn't even doubt her, I didn't even care that this happened sooner than I expected, I was happy.

"I'll fix everything quick and we'll live our life peacefully with our baby."

"But Liam..."

"He's not supposed to know this, Mi. You have to hide it. It's not safe."

"Okay, I won't tell him."

"I'll make sure everything will be settled and I'll give our baby a nice future, I promise."

"I know you will."

MILEY'S POV

"I'll protect you from anything, baby girl or boy."

I giggled as Nick's little antics. He's been crazy rubbing my small tummy while talking to our unborn child.

"Miles..."

"Hmmm?"

He looked up at me and I saw how his eyes showed vulnerability, "I'm scared. What if I'm not good enough for our baby?"

I patted his back comfortingly, "I know you're gonna be a good father."

His eyes lit up, "You do?"

"Yup..."

"Well, then, I can't wait to get everything done and be with you till eternity," he proudly said after kissing the top of my head.

I was able to leave at lunch time and my driver drove me home. The gynecologist told me to have some rest and gave me some meds to lessen the morning sickness.

My phone blared its ringtone; I was lying awake in my bed as I answered the call from Liam.

"I just saw you called me. Is there something wrong?"

"No big deal, I'm just kinda sick. I have flu."

"Awww, my poor honey. Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I just need to have lots of sleep."

"I feel kinda sad we won't be doing IT tonight, but you gotta rest and you could just make it up to me when you get better."

I felt sick to my stomach like I wanna hurl. I have a baby inside me and it's not my husband's.

"Alright."

"Have some sleep, okay?"

"Okay."

I surely had a lot of sleep that day. Next day, I woke up earlier than I usually do, and I actually got to see Liam who's still lying asleep beside me. I slowly sat up, conditioning my dizziness.

I brought my hand up to my forehead and felt if I'm warm enough to have a fever but I don't, so I just lay back on the bed. I soon felt Liam's arms around me "Are you feelin' okay?"

"No... I feel terrible."

"Want me to call a doctor?"

"No need to, I just need sleep."

"Okay."

He leaned in and kissed me. Few moments later, I was rushing to the bathroom and I threw up in the toilet. I tried to stand up but I got so dizzy and everything went black.
