After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant
Chapter 62 Conceiving A Baby.

Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Conceiving A Baby.

The first two words that registered in Leonica’s brain was ’Conceive’ and ’Baby’ and best believe it, her brain hung, trying to reboot itself but always failing as the confusion she was experiencing acted like a bug.

Unbeknownst to Doctor Bailey, he continued on, tone urgent. "Medically speaking, I advice that the child be conceived as soon as possible, because as it stands, he or she needs to be at least five years of age before they can undergo any form of surgery. And looking at Ashley’s medical charts, he only has that long, no more, no less."

"That...you have to be kidding me, right?" Leonica questioned, shifting in her seat as she felt prejudice against the doctors words.

Much to her dismay, Doctor Bailey shook his head. "As a matter of fact, I’m dead serious. Ashley’s life depends on that marrow transplant."

"But...can’t, can’t they be another way? Must we...must it be him?" Gabriel’s brows creased in a questioning and very much offended manner at the way she addressed him.

"Yes, of course. Ashley’s sibling must have matching genes in other for the operation to be a success. So in other words, his sibling must be conceived by the same mother, from the same sperm seed." Doctor Bailey explained. However, only after a few seconds did he register the look of hesitancy on Leonica’s face. This led him to ask. "Is something perhaps wrong?"

"Pardon?"

"Is Mr. Bryce perhaps having some... issues in bed?"

Leonica instantly choked on his question, coughing a few times. Gabriel on the other hand, was quick to speak.

"Absolutely not, doctor. As a matter of fact," He glanced at Leonica, a smirk stretching across his lips. "Leonica and I, just had one of the best sex a week or so ago."

Once again, Leonica choked, coughing more severely than the previous one. This time around, she had to request for water, which Bailey scrambled to get her, all the while Gabriel held back his laugh.

"Al...alright, if it’s like that, then I have nothing to worry about."

"You don’t, Doctor." Gabriel offered him a smile, ignoring the glare that Leonica shot his way.

"I see. If that’s so, then I suggest you both get to work as soon as possible. That’s all for now." He waved his hand in a dismissive manner.

Gabriel and Leonica but stood up, the latter bowing ever so slightly, before rushing out of the office in a bid to hide her reddening cheeks. On the outside, she waited for Gabriel to step out, feet tapping rhythmically against the hospital tiles while her hands were crossed above her chest.

The moment he stepped out, ending his own conversation with Bailey, she fired. "What the hell was that all about?"

Gabriel paused, feigning confusion even though he very much knew what she was annoyed over. "What was what?" He questioned back.

"That!" She pointed towards Doctor Bailey’s door. "The shit you pulled in there."

"Oh, tell the doc about the great sex we had?" He shamelessly questioned, a smirk spreading on his lips as Leonica’s cheeks reddened.

She was a full grown adult, yet she sometimes acted like a virgin teenager. One of her attractive feats.

"Y-yes, that exactly! You had no right to do that, Gabriel! That was my privacy and truthfully, I’m offended that you thought you could share that with an outsider without my permission." She fumed.

Much to her dismay, Gabriel smirked, micmicking her stance as he folded his arms across his chest, adding a touch and leaning against the wall. "So you admit it."

"Admit...admit what?" She stuttered, barely willing herself to look away from his smirk and inwardly causing at her heart for speeding up because of a common smile.

Hm, she must really be touch starved if just his smile alone could make her heart rate increase, she thought and frowned a touch.

"That we had great sex? No, let me be more specific; that I provided you with great pleasure."

"Shut...shut up!" Leonica practically yelled, ears and cheeks dusting a faint red that grew with each passing second, making Gabriel’ smirk increase. "How can you be so shameless?"

"What’s there to feel ashamed of?" Gabriel shrugged.

"Everything! After all, it’s not normal to sleep with a woman while your fiancee is expecting a child, then later go on and brag about it!" Was what Leonica wanted to say, before a nurse rushed towards them, thankfully cutting their conversation short.

Leonica recognized the nurse to be the one who had been stationed to watch over Ashley in any event that none of them were present.

"Mr. Bryce, Ms. Romero, I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but, Ashley woke up a couple of minutes ago and he became upset upon seeing that you both were not present."

Ah fuck, Leonica thought, giving herself a face slap. She was once again at it, picking trouble with Gabriel and ignoring her son’s wellbeing. Talk about mother of the year.

Sighing, she addressed the nurse. "Sheryl, is it?" She asked after glancing at the nurse’s name tag.

"Yes, Ms. Romero."

"Please have the kitchen prepare a light food that Ashley can eat immediately." She instructed with a smile.

The nurse couldn’t help but smile back as she bowed. "I understand. I’ll pass your request along right this minute." Saying that, she rushed off in the opposite direction.

Not long after, Leonica walked off to Ashley’s room, Gabriel following behind her. When she arrived at Ashley’s room, the child was playing with his toys, but placed them down upon spotting his parents.

"Mommy, where did you and daddy go?" He questioned in an innocent manner. Looking at him now, one would have mistaken the him of an hour ago, throwing tantrum and all, for some one different.

"No where darling, we just went to get something for you." Leonica responded.

"Ice cream?!" Ashley questioned with a suspicious amount of energy, making Leonica question her son’s love for ice cream.

However, before she could respond, Gabriel beat her to it, settling by the child’s side. "Nope, something better." He leaned down and whispered. "A sibling."

Ashley’s eyes grew wide and he gasped. Just as Leonica’s was wondering what Gabriel had said, he busted out. "A sibling! I get a sibling!"

What in the fucking hell?!

Oh if looks could kill, Gabriel would be long gone considering the glare Leonica had aimed towards him.

"Mommy, mommy is it true that I get a sibling? Are they going to be a girl? Do I get a sister like Hansel?"

"Slow down Ash," Leonica calmed, putting a smile on her lips as she faced her son who was far too excited. "Don’t move around too much, else you’ll reopen your wounds." She warned soothingly before turning to Gabriel, the smile on her lips completely fading. "Gabriel, step out with me, let’s talk for a bit."

"Huh? You’re leaving?" Ashley questioned.

"No, your...your daddy and I just need to discuss something outside." Leonica explained.

"Oh, is it my sibling’s name?" Ashley probed.

Leonica’s response to his question was simply a smile. "Outside, now." She mouthed after turning towards Gabriel."

The noirette smiled and placed a kiss on Ashley’s head before getting up. "Give us a minute, Champ, we’ll be back soon."

"Okay." Ashley smiled and watched as his parents walked out of the room, closing the door behind them before he went back to playing with his toys.

Outside, Leonica faced Gabriel with an angered look on her face. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?" She questioned.

"Bonding with my son." Gabriel answered nonchalant as usual, earning a scoff from Leonica. "Something wrong with that?"

"Of course! Who are you to spill lies to my son?"

"Firstly, he’s our son and secondly, what lies did I tell him? He’s gonna have a sibling, is he not?"

"If it will save his life, then yes. But I never said anything about you spilling the news to him. It’s not even confirmed yet."

"It is." Gabriel shot back confidently. "Doctor Bailey’s suggestion."

"Fuck Doctor Bailey’s suggestion and fuck you Gabriel." She stepped forward and glared at him. "I don’t know what going on in that head of yours, but I suggest you don’t get ahead of yourself, after all, even if we are to provide Ashley with another sibling, there’s no way in hell I’ll be sleeping with you. I’d much rather have an artificial insemination done!"
