Chapter 325
Catherine waited outside the room for Zayne to return after escorting the doctor out.
Zayne was surprised to see his mother standing outside rather than going inside to be with Rose. He thought she would be too happy to remain out here. Wasn’t this what she had been longing for? To hear that she would have a grandchild from him.
"Why are you standing out here, mother? She is pregnant," Zayne confirmed for his mother. "Are you so surprised that it has finally happened that you are standing here in shock?"
"No," Catherine shook her head. "Rose has much awaiting her for the coming months but someone still needs to ask how you feel and I am your mother so I have to wait for you. You shall be a wonderful father. There isn’t any doubt about it for me but if you were to ever slack then I will be close to putting some sense back into you."
"Thank you but that won’t be needed. I will not abandon Rose or our child. This is the first of many," Zayne shared.
Catherine smiled. "Many? I never thought there would be a day I would hear this from you. I guess it takes that special person to come into our lives to change what we want. How do you feel? I remember Gage was overwhelmed when he found out he was going to be a father. I’m almost sure there were tears in his eyes but he denies it."
"She suspected it so I feel fine. We’ve already shared our excitement and other feelings when we were on the ship. You do not need to remain by my side. I know you want to go to Rose and she will be wondering where you are. You can give almost all your attention to her," Zayne suggested.
Catherine was surprised he didn’t want her to give all her attention to Rose so she wouldn’t bother him. "Why not all?"
"I am still here. Now that Rose is pregnant, do you plan to ignore me?" Zayne asked, not completely bothered by it. He planned to have her busy with Madeline.
