Cold Showers novel Chapter 22

As soon as Sebastian got settled in his car, he had an incoming call from Caleb; He answered immediately.

"What's up, Bro?" He said to Caleb.

"Hmmm, someone seems extremely happy today."

He smiled, "You have no idea how happy I am."

"I'm glad for you Seb. How did the appointment go?" Caleb asked.

"Very well. Jayda is fine, the baby is also fine and growing well. Jayda and I were opportune to hear our baby's heartbeat and I promise you it was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. At that moment I felt blessed and complete. I'm already anticipating our next appointment"

"She agreed to give us a chance which I'm very grateful for. Today is not even over yet and it is already one of the best days of my life."

"Congratulations man. I'm glad that things are falling in place for you. Always make her happy and pleaseeeeee don't mess things up."

"I won't, I promise," Seb assured.

~~

Sebastian had smiles on his face throughout the day which did not go unnoticed by everyone. He was extra nice to his workers and even gave them an early day off. But he stayed back and worked till 6 pm, his usual time.

Before leaving the office, he decided to text Jayda.

"Mi Amor,"

Sebastian's phone beeped immediately, his smile grew wider when he saw that Jayda had replied to his text.

"Mi Corazón" She replied which made Sebastian blush a little.

"I hope you had an amazing day. I know you haven't had dinner yet. What should I order for you?" Seb.

"I did. Thanks but I'm not hungry. I'll just take a glass of orange juice before I go to bed." Jayda.

"Are you home already? Please, you have to eat something; for our baby's sake, even if it's only a little. Remember what the Doctor said." He persuaded.

"I just got home. I'll find something to eat. I'm so tired to cook so I'll call Lily to buy something on her way.'"

"It's fine. Just tell me what you feel like eating and I'll order it for you and Lilian."

"I think some Chinese will do." Jayda.

"Okay, it will be delivered to you soon. I'm about to leave for my apartment. I'll give you a call before I go to bed."

"Thanks, I'll be expecting your call." Jayda.

~~

As soon as Sebastian got settled in his apartment, He got his laptop and face timed his Mom, wanting to give her the good news of how his day went.

Sebastian chuckled as soon as his mother's face came into view. She had some white scrub on her face. "Mom, you're still on with your facial routine."

"Of course! I have to look sexy for my husband." She admitted with a smile. "How are you? You look really happy tonight."

"I'm fine, Mom. I accompanied Jayda to her doctor's appointment today."

"Are you for real?" Vanessa asked surprised.

"Yes, Mom. She called me yesterday to ask if I wanted to come along with her."

Vanessa had smiles all over her face. "Wow, that's amazing. How did it go? How is she and my grandchild?"

"It went well, mom. Jayda is fine and your grandchild is healthy and growing."

Sebastian reached for the ultrasound picture and showed it to his mom, hoping she could see it clearly through his device.

"Wow, Albert come take a look." She called her husband who was somewhere in the room.

"Wow!" Albert muttered.

"He or she is almost two months old. I'm already anticipating the next appointment. Is that weird of me?" Seb couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, not." Vanessa replied with a proud smile on her face.

" I think it's normal to feel that way. Congratulations Son." Albert smiled.

"Thanks, Dad." Seb blushed.

"So how did you feel when you heard its heartbeat?" Vanessa asked even though she had an idea of what Seb had felt. She was happy Jayda let her son experience that wonderful moment with her.

"Words wouldn't justify how I felt, mom. Today was definitely one of the days I'll never forget. I feel blessed and I'm so grateful."

"So that means you and Jayda are cool right?" Vanessa asked hopefully.

"Yes, we are. We've agreed to give in to what we feel for each other. I plan to take our relationship slow and earn her trust in the process."

"I'm so happy for you Son. Everything is finally falling in place for you." Albert said.

"Please make her happy always. Jayda and your child should be your priority." Vanessa added.

"Thanks, Dad and yes mom, I promise to make her happy and be there for her always."

~~

"I remember my mom telling me to attend a surprise engagement party. She said Sebastian was going to propose to some girl. I told her I wasn't going to attend because Seb and I never got along."

"Then on the day of the engagement, Gabriel told me everything was cancelled because the girl turned out to be someone else. I remember him saying Sebastian was heartbroken." Lilian completed.

"I feel so sorry that he went through that. Don't you think you should have told me about it?" Jayda asked.

"Honestly, it didn't cross my mind. I never knew the whole story so I would not have known it was that incident that made him start acting like that." She said and Jayda nodded in understanding.

"I had my Secretary get a frame for me. One that would fit our baby's ultrasound picture. I placed it on my desk and couldn't stop staring at it" Seb said. "Thank you for giving me the best gift ever. You have no idea how much today meant to me."

Jayda smiled, "You are welcome, thank you for gracing us with your presence. I had wanted to ask what those words meant. The words engraved on the bracelet you wore today."

"Oh!" Sebastian muttered.

"Yes, so what do they mean?"

"The words on it are powerful words relating to someone very special to me. I promise to explain what they mean the next time we see."

"No problem, but I hope that very special someone is me"

"Hopefully!" Sebastian chuckled. "So how is our baby doing?"

"He is fine."

"He?" Seb reiterated.

Jayda smiled, "Or She. I don't want to refer to him or her as 'it' anymore."

"Okay, But you want our child to be a boy?" He asked.

"I'm fine with any gender but I'm hoping it will be a boy. That way, he will be there to protect his younger Siblings."

Sebastian smiled at her reply. She wanted more kids, so does he and hopefully, she will have them with him.

"What about you? Do you want a girl or a boy?" She asked.

"I haven't really thought about it but I'm fine with any gender." He confessed.

"It's fine then, Let's God's Will be done," Jayda concluded.

"I facetimed my parents this evening and showed them the ultrasound picture. They were very happy."

Jayda smiled, "I can't wait to meet them. Our baby is so lucky to have two sets of grandparents that are going to spoil him or her."

Sebastian smiled, "I know, my mom can't wait to meet you too. I promised her I'd bring you to her place soon so you can meet them."

"Not a bad idea. I'm ready whenever you want us to go." She assured with a yawn.

"Someone's feeling sleepy. Let me allow you to go to bed. It was nice talking to you, my love."

Jayda chuckled, "Sorry, I get tired easily nowadays. It was nice talking to you too and I wouldn't have imagined going for that ultrasound on my own. It was worthwhile with you in there." She admitted.

"And thanks for Dinner." She added.

"Anything for you and our baby. Have a good night rest don't forget to dream about me."

Jayda chuckled, "I'll try, Goodnight."
