Madeline's POV
I took Lily into the nursery room, and she guessed right away that I am pregnant before I can tell her about my pregnancy and the happiness I saw on her face is enough to make me cry as I remember Hunter. I know how much he loves his younger sister, that looking at Lily right now is breaking my heart, and I remember the time I ran away from the Divenson mansion. She was only twelve years old at that time, but I couldn't believe that she would give me all her savings so that I have pocket money wherever I may go, and I know from that moment she will always have a special spot on my heart.
"I am going to be an aunt?" Lily asked again, and I nodded my head with a broad smile on my face, and I saw her cry before she hugged me.
"I am so happy, Madeline, I know there is a possibility that my brother is no longer alive, but I am not losing my hope, but this child is a blessing for us, and this is the best news ever. My brother is going to be a dad, and he doesn't know about it yet, and I couldn't imagine what his reaction would be the moment he will learn about it, and I am excited, and I can't wait to buy baby clothes." She said, and I could no longer stop myself from laughing as I remember Lily and her love of shopping. And I am sure she is going to shower my baby with lots of toys, and I can't stop smiling as I watch the crib in front of me.
"I am sure mom will be excited to know about this, Madeline, and she will be thrilled. She has been dreaming for Hunter to have a child. It would be best if you were more careful now, Maddie. You have to take good care of yourself, and even if you are so worried about my brother, it would be better that you start thinking he will be coming home soon than thinking the opposite for the baby's sake. And I don't want to say this, but it has been one month now, Madeline." Lily said, and I can tell what she wants to say to me, and I have to make myself ready.
"I know Lily if they have nothing to eat or drink, I know Cal and Hunter would be dead by now, but I can tell they will find ways to survive because your brother promised me that we are going to have dinner together the moment I return home, and now I am still waiting for him, Lily. I will never give up on believing that he is still alive, especially now that he is going to be a father, don't worry if ever the worst will come. I will fight for the baby, Lily. And I know you will always be there for me to give me comfort." I replied.
"Of course, I will always be here for you, Madeline." She replied.
We waited for mom Leticia to come home so we can eat dinner together, and the moment she arrived, Lily couldn't wait.
"Mom, Madeline is pregnant!" She exclaimed, and I almost laugh when mom's bag fell into the floor as she looked at me with a surprised look on her face, and then I saw her tears fall on her cheeks as she walked closer to me, and then she hugged me for a long time without saying a word.
"Madeline, you make me so happy. Your husband will be delighted the moment he will learn about this, " Mom said after she released me from her embrace, and then together, we all walked to the dining hall. I asked Cerila to join us, and I felt glad she listened to me this time, maybe because she was also excited about my pregnancy.
"I think you better stop working at the office, Madeline. You can work from home, and I don't want you to be stressed." Mom said as we started eating our dinner.
"Mom, I am okay. Besides, I am only one month pregnant." I replied.
"Even if you are only one month pregnant, I don't want anything to happen to you and the baby, especially now that Hunter is not yet around, and most of all, I am afraid if Clark finds out about it, we can't risk it, Madeline." Mom said, and I suddenly felt cold when I remembered Clark Divenson's words. He told me I am still alive because I am not yet pregnant with Hunter's child. And now that I am pregnant, mom has a point, and I can't allow him to hurt my baby.
"I think working from home would be alright for me, mom, if it would be okay with you," I said as I tried to smile at mom. Parker already warned me, and this time I have to be careful.
"Of course, my dear, and I will ask someone to help you if Cerila has a class." She said.
"Mom, I can manage," I said.
"Madeline, we are talking about my grandchild here, so I don't care if I have to pay nurses or additional helpers to make sure your pregnancy will go smoothly. I have been waiting for this moment, Madeline, and at last, my prayers had been answered." She said, and the happiness that I can see on Hunter's mom is contagious.
"I will go with you to see your ob gyne, and we should go tomorrow so you can start taking your vitamins for your pregnancy." Mom said, and I can't stop myself from smiling, and I know I can't say no to Leticia Divenson, especially now that she looked so happy and excited.
We went to the ob gyne the next day, and I am happy that mom came with me. The days that followed made me so busy with my work from home, and I always spend my time in the nursery during my breaks and before I go to sleep. Everything I found inside the nursery was chosen by my husband, from the crib, the mobile with cute angels design, changing table, storage basket, and many more. There are nights I woke up on the rocking chair, and tonight is one of those nights, and I smiled as I remember the day he told me about the nursery. It was years ago, but he had it repainted and bought new things. I can't wait to have my baby. And I was hoping there would be news about Hunter and Calixto.
"Oh, Lily, what are these?" I asked as she handed me the paper bags, and I couldn't believe she asked Gina to drive her to the mall.
"The room next to the nursery is vacant, Madeline, and I put in there the things I bought after I learned you were pregnant." She said, and I can tell she felt guilty about it, and she hugged me right away.
"Please don't get mad at me, Madeline, I just can't help myself from being excited, and that is the only way to make me happy. Before I learned about your pregnancy, I always cried before I go to sleep thinking about my brother, and when I learned you are pregnant, that child in your tummy helped me feel better." She said, and my heart is pierced as I realized Lily was hurting too after my husband was buried alive underground.
"Hey, it is okay Lily, I am not mad, thank you, but don't you think it is a little early for shopping?" I asked her, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"Don't worry, next time, and I will only buy one or two items at a time, I promised." She said as she raised her right hand, and I can't stop myself from laughing.
It was Sunday afternoon when Gina arrived, and she was so excited that I got nervous when she asked me to watch the breaking news, and I got up because I don't want to watch any news since the explosion in the mining site happened.
"Gina, I already told you I hate watching the news. If you have something to tell me, tell me directly and don't let me watch it because I am tired." I said as I switch off the television, and I saw my friend's face fell, but she smiled at me again as she took my hands, and she brought me back to the sofa, and I can tell Lily is excited to hear the news.
"Hunter and Cal are alive, Madeline! It is in the news, only this morning the rescuers communicated with them, just on time before they cease the rescue operation." Gina said, and I became speechless, and when Lily came closer to me, and I heard her crying, I could no longer stop myself from crying with her.
"I told you, Gina, my husband is still alive," I said in between my sobs, and I can't express the happiness that I felt.
"I know, Madeline, I believed in you when you told me he would come home to have dinner with you." She replied, and I smiled at Gina as I felt Lily's arms around my waist, and Gina joined us to have a grouped hug. When mom Leticia heard the news, she almost fainted on the floor, and we all watched the news. I could no longer listen to what the anchorwoman is saying after she said on the note my husband said he needs to be rescued. After all, his wife is waiting for him to come home because he promised to have dinner with his wife. Hunter asked the rescuers to tell me he is coming home. It was all I needed to feel the overwhelming happiness, and I am so excited to see my husband once again. And I felt so thankful that my prayers had been answered.
