Chapter 266: His Worry, Her Tolerance
Rory could only laugh when Liam entered the room first. He was asked to stay behind which he didn’t want to do but he had to.
When the ultrasound was taken Rory was observing the face of the sonographer to see if everything was fine. But she was poker-faced.
Liam was holding her hand probably to comfort her, but his hold was so tight. It appeared that he was the one who needed comfort.
It reminded her of the day Ellie was born. The guy she thought was the intern had such a strong grip too. It was him, then... He was cute then and he is cute now.
Finally the sonographer turned the monitor for them to see. She told them that the growth of the baby was great and the baby is healthy. Rory almost jumped for joy.
"That’s our baby, Fizzy... Isn’t he cute?" she said holding back her tears.
"She is..." Liam leaned closer to the monitor. "Is that the baby?" he observed closer.
"It’s his first time," Rory explained.
The sonographer pointed at the head, the limbs, and the fingers. Rory thought he would get excited and even cry. But he looked very confused. It was anti-climatic for Rory. Not that she wanted him to cry.
On the way home, Liam was silent. When they reached home, Ellie greeted them. It was beautiful to watch her waddle to them and those sweet little thuds her little feet made on the floor were so divine to hear. The happy laughter on her face to see her parents was like the song of angels.
Rory’s heart pained a little seeing her little darling waddling past her and reaching for her dad, but she gave birth to a daddy’s girl. What else can she expect?
"You’re the prettiest baby in the whole world! My darling," Liam showered kisses on Ellie only for her to giggle and kiss him back.
