My head was throbbing and I felt like there was something in my stomach that I wanted to barf. I slowly opened my eyes and moved to sit down on the bed.
Jayden saw me and supported me so I could sit down. His face was restless and I know he was worried for me and the baby.
"I'm okay, love. I'm sorry for making you worry."
He held my hands and sighed.
"Where's dad?" I asked.
"In the garden, with my father. They have a lot to talk about.." He answered.
I just noticed that he wasn't the other guy anymore. Maybe he switched back when he saw me fall.
Everything that had happened was making me exhausted. I just ignored and denied it because I thought we could easily fix it.
I didn't notice that I was always feeling anxious from my father then from Jayden's sudden switching of personalities, my pregnancy and there's school as well. It was all making me tired.
"The doctor said you should take a rest for a while. Meaning you have to stay here at home. I made an arrangement with the school and they agreed to temporarily send a personal teacher for you. I'm sorry for not asking you first but I think you really need some rest. Everything that happened was draining you." Jayden said in a gentle voice.
I understood and wasn't going to protest about it. I also felt that I needed some break. Risking my health and the baby were never in my mind.
"It's fine, love. I was going to ask you that anyway. Is the baby okay?" I asked, worried.
I was looking at Jayden's face and I noticed that he averted his eyes away from mine.
"Love? Is there something wrong?" I was starting to panic when I saw his expression.
He looked at me again, stared directly into my eyes then gently kissed my hands.
"The doctor said that the baby's heartbeat was low. Maybe it was due to stress so she suggested a full bed rest. She will be here three times a week to closely monitor you and the baby."
Tears started to fall from my eyes. I was afraid that I may lose the baby someday or there will be some complications during my pregnancy.
"Hey, hey. Calm down. We'll get through this. All you have to do is rest. I promise I will be here. I won't leave you." Jayden said, pulling me into his arms to calm me down.
He's right. This is not the time for me to get emotional. I have to be strong for the baby so I need my mind to be clear of any negative thoughts.
Jayden cupped my face, kissing me to wipe my tears away. I know he was also worried but he couldn't show it to me. He needed to be strong for us.
"Would you like Caden to sleep here with us?" He asked.
I smiled and nodded. Jayden knew that Caden would make our worries disappear so he wanted him to be with us.
"Did father see him?" I asked.
I almost forgot that I needed to introduce Caden to him. I wasn't really expecting that it would happen but I was happy that I can finally show my father his grandson.
"I'll call Caden then your father here."
Jayden called Caden's nanny and asked her to bring him. After a few minutes, he came with a huge smile in his face.
"Mommy, Daddy!" He shouted while running towards us.
He jumped on the bed then gave us a kiss on the cheek. I don't know why I suddenly missed him. Maybe because for three years, it was just the two of us and we were always together.
"Sweetie, we want to introduce someone to you." I said, while he sat beside me.
"Who is it?" He asked, looking at me with his big silver eyes.
I chuckled when I saw his face. He was so cute and innocent but he was frowning.
"Your grandfather. I mean another grandfather."
He already met Benjamin and he knew him as his grandfather. He might get confused so I will have to explain everything to him when the right time comes.
We heard a few knocks before the door swung open and dad came inside.
He was staring at Caden when he saw him on the bed. His expression wasn't like the one when we first met. His aura was dark back then and you can feel fear just by looking into his eyes. But now, I saw love in his ocean blue eyes.
"Dad, this is Caden. Our first born. Your grandson." I said introducing Caden.
"Caden, go to your grandfather." Jayden whispered.
I waited for Caden's reaction. I'm not sure if he will accept my father. Father was wearing a black suit, his eyes were blue like mine but he had a lot of visible scars from his battles as the Mafia Boss.
I was surprised when Caden stood up then happily ran towards my father.
"Grandpa!" He shouted, giving him a tight hug.
Father looked down to the little guy who was hugging him. He bent down then smiled back at him.
"Hello. I'm Matthew, your grandfather." He murmured.
I was nervous when Caden touched his face, looking closely at his face. I thought he would ask him about his scars but thankfully he didn't.
"Your eyes look like mommy's eyes. It's the color of the ocean and the sky!" He exclaimed.
Father's smile was genuine. It wasn't fake and I was so happy seeing him with Caden. I felt Jayden's hand gently squeezing mine. I turned to him, he was also smiling.
I could see Jayden's sincerity through his eyes. He didn't have ill feelings with my father anymore. Father wasn't a perfect man. There were a lot of bad things he did in the past and I know someday, he would have to pay for his sins.
But for now, no words can explain how happy we were that our family is now complete.
