Chapter 21- Surprise
Philip's POV
Amy and Penny will accompany my brother to Hawaii; he bought first-class tickets for all three of them.
Andrea awoke in a more cheerful mood.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked as she got out of bed. "Yes, I've packed everything,"she answered. "You've got ten minutes," I reminded her. "I'll be ready in five," she said, rushing around. To my surprise, she was ready, and we had a driver take us to the airport. We boarded my private jet at 7 am and should arrive in Hawaii around 6 pm.
"Where are Amy and Penny?" Andrea asks to take a seat.
"They took the 5 am flight in first class," I said, letting her know they were on their way.
"I hope they don't have any issues traveling," she says,looking up at the tv playing the movie Iron Man.
"My brother went with them. He'll be staying in his own room, of course," I said, trying to keep her from worrying.
"Is he interested in Amy? I mean, he's much older than her, but it likely won't matter," Andrea murmured, her head on my shoulder.
"Why not?"
"She hasn't told me, but I think she's a lesbian. She has a close friend named Kelly Carter, and they do everything together. The only time she went out with a guy was for prom. " She replies.
"You could be mistaken. She seems to be interested in my brother," I responded.
"My parents will be happy if that's true. I'll try to sleep," she whispers. She lays her hand on my shoulders, taking a nap. I watch the tv while she rests.
We have a ten-hour flight, so I allow her to see for several hours. She wakes up as the flight attendant brings up lunch.
"I hope cheese pizza is okay," I said,looking into her blue eyes.
"I'm starving. I could eat anything," she said, taking a bite of the pizza. Then she drank a few sips of tea.
I'm relieved that she has recovered from our difficult first time as a married couple. "I'll set up a romantic dinner for us at the hotel," I promised.
"Which hotel?" she asked, eating her last slices of pizza. I had finished my lunch a few minutes after her.
"Aulani, the resort has everything you day you go to the pool with Amy and Penny, I'll go golfing with my brother. Though I do want to spend most of our time in the room," said I still staring at her.
"If you're trying to get me pregnant, I think it's too late."I've been having many symptoms. Especially with how tired I have been. That might explain why I fainted in your office," she said calmly.
"Could be," I said, shocked she didn't know the truth about me drugging her.
"Lately, I've been really hungry. So, I asked the wedding planner to change my glass of wine to white grape juice, just to be safe. I brought a pregnancy test in my purse. I'll take it later today. I wanted to let you know. I was going to tell you last night, but I was exhausted from the wedding. Plus, we had that argument," she said,being honest.
"I'm concerned, so you should go to the bathroom and take it now," I advised. She nodded and went into the bathroom. After about fifteen minutes, she came back with the pregnancy test in her hand. She whispered, "It looks like I'm pregnant.". "That's great news, Andrea. Penny will be thrilled to have a sibling," I said, feeling relieved.
But the relief was short-lived. What if the baby wasn't mine? Andrea remained silent about the specifics of her affair with Shane. Could this be his child?
Even if it was his biological child, it would still be mine.
"We should wait a while to tell her. The first few weeks are when a miscarriage is likely to occur,"she says, her hand touching her stomach.
"Is there any question of who the father is?" I asked softly.
"I honestly believe you are the father. We were together many times. We can do a DNA test. The baby is legally yours since I am your wife. You insisted on the wedding and I didn't know I was pregnant," she said, feeling guilty. Did she not use protection with Shane? Did she cheat on her fiancee and not use a condom? I think sadly she never planned on us getting back together. "No DNA test necessary. I knew about you and Shane. I still wanted to get married. I still want to be married. Even if it's his, it will still be mine. Just like you are mine," I said.
"I am all yours," she says, leaning in to kiss me. I was relieved that she had stopped resisting our marriage. She must have realized that even the chance of being pregnant with someone else's child wouldn't deter me. I would make sure she never cheats again. As I kiss her back, my hands rest on her stomach. I feel at peace with my new family. She is now my wife.
