Tricked to his Bed

ALESSA POV

“Ohh sweet Alessa, I am so glad you are here.” Nurse Mary said, she was all smiles as she saw me.

I smiled back in return. She hurriedly pulled off my white coat and helped me with the scrub(surgeon uniform)

“I am so sorry for ruining your wedding anniversary date, it's just that the lady's twins were coming out prematurely.”

I smiled, “Its fine my husband called and said he was busy too”

“Ohh..Miss Smith, it's crazy in there. The lady's husband has been screaming all day. He loves his wife so much. They are all lovey dovey, so rare for a couple who have known each other for 13 years.”

“Really? That is sweet.” I said with a smile, seeing people loving each other publicly makes me happy.

“The Lady showed us her wedding photo in Las Vegas.” The nurse added, she was all hyper for the gossip.

I smiled, “Wow, that's crazy.”

5 mins later, I was ready. She opened the OR door, and I slid in with my hands up.

“Hello Doctor Smith,” My male OR assistant said.

I nodded my head. The nurse in there covered my hands with gloves. While my eyes were on that big protruding stomach. It was very big, facing up. My heart was filled with jealousy. I always wished one day my stomach would be as big as that. And I will have a child, I always envied such women.

I moved closer to the woman, she was putting on a face mask, and a hair net.

I bent to her ears and whispered, "Don't worry madam, I will make sure you give birth to your babies strong and healthy.”

I raised my hand, “Scalpel!”

*****________**********

An hour later.

“Well done, Doctor,” the team said as they peeled off their gloves. I forced a small smile, the kind of smile I’d learned to wear after long, grueling surgeries. We are all relieved as we saw the babies save and sound.

I slipped out of the OR, exhausted down to.my bones. My assistant had already gone ahead to inform the father. I half-expected to see him waiting anxiously at the door, pale and restless like so many others.

Instead, the sight before me stopped me cold.

Adrian!! My husband!! What was he doing.here?

He stood there in the corridor, his hand gripping my assistant’s shoulders as he shook him gratefully.

His voice was low and trembling with emotion.

“Thank you for saving my children.”

The words punched the air out of me. My heart slammed against my ribs, every drop of blood in my body turning to ice.

Children? What children? We had.no.child!

My gaze blurred, my legs refusing to move. The betrayal hitting sharper than any pain I had ever felt in my.entire life. My chest rose and fell too fast, my teeth chattering from a sudden cold. I wanted to run to him- ask him to explain himself. Explain why can't he love me like he loves her?
