My Heart Beats Only For You - Chapter 454

Two months later…

It was a beautiful morning with birds chirping everywhere, singing a sweet melody. The weather was also very much pleasant with the beaming sun and light breeze caressing everyone’s skin..

Although the atmosphere was very much peaceful, but it was not the same cast for Love-Paradise.

In fact, it was so cheerful with everyone’s chatting and laughter that the whole city would be able to hear them from their own home..

And why not it would be all happy and cheerful, when the party was specially arranged to celebrate the baby shower of the most loved REUNIC Couple!

The garden was decorated beautifully with peach, brown, blue, soft pink and white colour balloons..

A tent was set up in the middle of the garden with few artificial animals like giraffe, elephant and zebra were placed in front of it, giving a beautiful view..

A beautiful set up was made in the backyard with a long table and few cushions beside it to sit there and have fun to their heart’s content..

Teddy bears along with other soft toys were spread everywhere while a big showpiece stand with the word ‘BABY’ written was standing at one of the corner of the garden. It was also filled with pink and blue balloons..

Willa was sitting beside Neil with their three and half months old baby girl, Nathan in her arms.

Lucinda who had given birth to a twin boy and girl, was also smiling happily with Henry beside her. She was holding their little prince Jacob while Henry had their little princess, Jennifer in his arms.

One year old Olivia was playing with her Barbie doll with Andrew and Rose at her both sides.

Not only them but Jack and Myra too had came there along with their seven months old adopted son, Michael..

Amelia who was three months pregnant now, was resting her back on Alonzo’s chest while he had his arms wrapped around her.

These couple were doing nothing except teasing Louis and Diana who were soon getting married..

All of their parents were also happy and chatting contently with each other.

As they were busy in enjoying the party, the center of attraction finally decided to mark their presence in front of them..

Veronica who was wearing a simple peach colour maternity gown with white sequins on the top part, was glowing brightly like the sun..

Reuben was also looking extremely handsome with a white casual shirt and light brown pants.

He had one of his arms wrapped around Veronica’s shoulder while his right hand was resting on her full grown belly protectively.

Both of them had a big smile on their faces as they walked towards their families and friends..

“Pregnancy glow really suits you well..” Mrs. Wilson, said kissing Veronica’s forehead.

“Before you start nagging, let me tell you that you’re also looking like a super cool dad in this casual outfit.” Mr. Johnson complimented Reuben who was grinning widely.

“Well, thank you ladies. But today is only for my wife. So you can compliment her as much as you want. I won’t get jealous today.” Reuben teased them, making others laugh at him.

“No baby.. Today is for both of us. Remember, we’ve made this baby together… right?” Veronica said while giving him a playful wink while Reuben just shook his head smilingly.

After all the congratulatory wishes and lots of gifts, the couple finally decided to cut the cake.

It was a gender neutral cake, matching with the colours of balloons. An edible teddy was placed on the top while the cake was decorated with beautiful golden, pink, blue, brown and peach coloured edible balls.

This cake was personally selected by Reuben as he wanted to surprise his wife and it definitely did the magic as Veronica was literally drooling over the cake.

“Wow! Bennie.. It’s so beautiful that I want to just keep it like this. But what can we do when our little munchkin is craving for this yummy chocolaty cake! So let’s cut it fast and feed each other.” Veronica squealed excitedly, clapping her hands..

Reuben chuckled at her cute antics and teased, “Sure love.. It’s only the baby who wants to eat the cake, but not her Mumma.. And we definitely have to listen to our baby. So let’s do feed her quickly.”

Veronica made a small pout but later laughed it off as she couldn’t hold her craving anymore.

They both cut the cake together and fed each other while others cheered for them loudly..

Veronica was about to have another bite of her cake when she felt a hard kick on her tummy.

Looking down, she said, “Oh! So baby wants more cake? Let him have it then.”

Saying this, she cut another big slice and started eating it. However before she could gulp it wholly, she felt another big contraction hitting inside her tummy..

She ignored it first but suddenly the contractions started growing larger and it become more painful second by second.

“Ahh!” Veronica suddenly cried out, gripping Reuben’s arm tightly.

Reuben’s head instantly snapped towards her as he held her tightly in her arms.

“Baby.. What happened?” Reuben asked, with a worried look.

“It…it’s paining a lot, Bennie..” Veronica stammered while clutching her tummy in a tight grip.

Now everyone’s attention was only on Veronica who was literally screaming in extreme pain.

All of a sudden, she felt some liquid flowing out of her lower part, wetting her gown completely.

Seeing it, Veronica whispered in disbelief, “Mom.. Why I’m peeing now?”

Mrs. Lopez’s eyes turned wide hearing her daughter’s words as she exclaimed loudly, “Oh My God! Your water broke, Vero. We have to immediately take you to the hospital.”

“What? But Ica’s due date is still two weeks later.” Reuben shouted exasperatedly.

“I know.. But it’s completely fine to give an early birth. So don’t waste anymore time and take her to hospital.” Mrs. Smith pacified an already terrified Reuben somehow.

Nodding his head vigorously, Reuben immediately picked Veronica up and made her lie on the backseat with her head resting on Mrs. Lopez’s lap.

Mrs. Smith brought Veronica’s hospital bag quickly and took the front passenger seat as Reuben drove the car like a bullet train while the others also followed them from behind..
