Leo had never imagined this day would actually come.
After so many years of disappointment, after watching Bella lose hope again and again, he had eventually taught himself not to expect anything. He had made peace with the possibility that perhaps they would never have a biological child of their own. And honestly, he had reached a point where he didn't mind anymore.
They had Eli. They had their family.
That was enough.
Or at least, that was what Leo had told himself.
But now...
The doctor had just confirmed that Bella was pregnant.
With his baby. HIS baby.
Leo stood there completely still, staring at Bella as though he had suddenly forgotten how the human body worked. His arms hung at his sides. His mouth was slightly open. His gray eyes were fixed on her stomach like it had just grown a second head.
His heart was beating so hard that he could practically feel it against his ribs.
How?
He blinked.
How the f*ck did I put a baby in her stomach?
