LIFE BEGINS AT 40 - Chapter 32：CHAPTER 32

ERINE

After three months since we got engage and today is the big day of my life. Our wedding day, it was simple, as I always want it to be with our families and close friends. Brandon wanted to make it big but I said no because I want it to be solemn and special. We cannot entertain all of the guests if we invite more than we could imagine.

There is no need to waste so much money just for our wedding. If we want it to spend on our wedding maybe on our honeymoon trips, I want to travel the world with him than giving so many expenses to our wedding. Well, I know wedding is wedding you only married once but simplicity is enough to share with our love ones.

I want to make our lives memorable by spending each other moments I know our wedding is one of them but travelling some parts of the world with your husband, why not.

After the ceremony and the reception, we were ready to take off for our honeymoon in Paris, one of my bucket lists. It exhausted for me since planning our wedding then the wedding day. Brandon got us first class as we were inside the plane.

He leaned on me. “Baby, are you okay?” he asked stroking my cheek. “You looked very tired.”

“Hmm, yeah I know. I feel sleepy and drained maybe because I was been focus with the preparation but I will just take some rest for a while before we land off our plane to Paris.” I said but I feel my stomach is growling.

Brandon heard it and he asked the flight attendant to serve our foods. As the flight attendant came with the foods in her hand. She put it on my table when she took off the cover my stomach flipped. I vomit then I cover my mouth and my nose. I do not like the smell of the food she gave me.

The flight attendant shocking face but smiled seen in a seconds, Brandon quickly got panic about me. “Sir, I will be right back. I think I will call our doctor.” she said and quickly left.

Just a few minutes, she went back with the doctor. She checked my pulse and told me to stand up. Brandon remained to his seat; I followed her as we stopped in the lavatory then gave me two boxes of pregnancy test.

“Okay, I want you to do this test to make sure my suspicious is correct.” The doctor said as I saw her smiled at me. I may confuse but I think I know why now, without a single word I nodded then went inside. I did the instructions with the two tests for sure then waited for minutes as instructed in the box.

I went out when I saw the results and gave it to the doctor in-charge. She smiled at me and we went back to my seat. Brandon got up from his seat with worried face. He quickly assists me to my seat.

“Doc is my wife alright?” he asked.

“No need to worry about her, it is part of her journey.” She said that made Brandon more confuse.

“Part of what?” he asked then looking at me holding my hands but I smiled at him.

“Of being a mother, congratulations you are going to be a father.” She said and left us alone.

“I… I do not know what to say.” He said as he squeezed my hands. “I cannot believe this. We are having a baby, our baby.” He added then hugged and kissed me. “I love you baby. This is the best wedding gift you gave me. I love you so much Erine.”

I cried as I hugged him tight. I did not imagine I still get pregnant at my age 40. I may look like my baby’s grandma but still happy knowing that we were having our own.

“I love you too Brandon.”
