595 Appointment In Dreamland

Darren was really surprised to see that his dear wifey wasn't really acting as hyper as she usually did. She was indeed as random as always but she wasn't as energetic as always. But he thought it was because she was feeling tired and hadn't been sleeping well. So, he didn't probe her.

Xiu took a quick hot shower before coming to drink her ginger tea.

"Did you eat anything?"

Xiu took a sip of ginger tea and shook her head, "No. But I'm not hungry either."

"Lately, you've been so hungry that you could eat a whole cow, and now, you're suddenly not hungry at all?" Darren's brows knitted up. He lifted his hand to touch her forehead and confirmed that she didn't have a fever.

"I'm not sick," stated Xiu while patting his hand that had shifted from her forehead to her cheek and was still lingering there. Finding it comforting, she leaned into his touch and rubbed her soft cheek against his hand making him smile.

"If you're not sick then what's up? Why the sudden mood shift?" He was perplexed that just yesterday she wanted to eat everything and today, she wasn't even feeling like eating anything. It worried him a little for the reasons he couldn't even tell himself. He just knew that everything associated with even the slightest shift in her moods had been enough to make him worried.

Xiu scrunched up her face saying, "I think it's my time of the month."

"That can't be right," he retorted before he took his cellphone and opened the calendar. "Nope. Definitely not. Your date already passed over two weeks ago."

"Huh?" Xiu was dumbfounded by his reply.

"It was supposed to be while I was away. Did you not get your periods during that time?"

Xiu buried her head down, avoiding his eyes as she said, "I didn't get it." Taking a moment, she grumbled, "I never thought I'd be having this discussion with my husband." Recalling something, she asked, "Wait! You know my date? Even I don't know it!"

Darren cleared his throat before saying, "I'm your husband. It concerns me as well now." Xiu squinted her eyes at him and he tried to avoid her heated gaze and used distraction as a way out. "Anyway, you really didn't notice that your periods are late?" Xiu shook her head plainly. "Don't you keep track of it?"

Xiu's shoulders slumped down, "I don't like keeping track of things or people I hate."

"I can't believe this!" he exclaimed. "Sweets, this is serious. How can you be careless about it?" He pressed his lips together as he looked at her, "Sweets, do you think you are..."

"Pregnant? No way!" Xiu laughed at him without even thinking.

"It's a possibility," said Darren.

"Two months? And you didn't bother going to a doctor?"

"If my annoying great aunt is so reluctant to visit me, why would I run to beg her to come?"

Darren narrowed his eyes at her, "Sweets, this is really not the time for joking."

Xiu herself knew this was not a joking matter especially because the issue of irregular periods had been when she was Chen Xiu. In this body, her periods had always been punctual. However, she would never jump to conclusions since there had been way too many changes in her emotions lately and she knew how emotions would affect hormones as well. She honestly didn't think it was such a big deal!

"Regan, relax! I'm really not pregnant. I have been feeling cramps so I'm sure the great aunt is not so far." Darren relaxed but felt a little disappointed as well. However, he hid his disappointment quite well. "Besides, let's just suppose that I am pregnant..." Darren's ears perked up. "Are you not gonna take responsibility for us?"

"How can that be?"

Xiu patted his shoulder saying, "Exactly! We are already a family. So, stop worrying. Who cares why the great aunt is late?"

Darren pursed his lips before saying, "But I still think you should..."

He didn't even finish when Xiu cut him off with, "I'll go to see a doctor just for the ease of your mind. Now, can we please stop talking about this matter?"

Darren nodded his head as he followed her to the bedroom. As they laid down on the bed, ready to retire for the day, Darren wanted to talk more to her and tell her how down he felt when he didn't see her at home but Xiu was already asleep. It was literally like as soon as her head touched the pillow, she was out!

As always he hugged her before closing his eyes. He didn't mind whether she was pregnant or not. Although he had always dreamed of having a family only with her, he would never force it on her. He was just worried that this delay in her periods might affect her health in some way. Lately, she had been looking a lot tired anyway.

...

The next morning, seeing that she was sleeping so peacefully, he didn't dare disturb her. He quietly got dressed to leave and sat down beside her to kiss her forehead as he always did before leaving. But it was enough to stir her awake as she looked at him groggily and said, "You're leaving?"

"Mm..." he hummed in reply. "You rest well."

"What about breakfast? Let me..."

Darren held her shoulders and pushed her back down saying, "No need. I've already prepared breakfast and left yours in the microwave. Heat it before eating it."

"Thank you," she mumbled still half-asleep. Darren looked at her lovingly before leaving.

Xiu didn't even know when he left or what he made for breakfast since she didn't wake up even after he left. It was past lunchtime when her phone's ringtone made her stir again. With her eyes closed, she looked for her phone and placing against her ear, she spoke, "The person you are calling is currently dead asleep. Kindly either make an appointment in dreamland or stop calling!"
