Chapter 290 - We're going to have a child together

Ethan smiled and rested his forehead on her own, as waves of ease swept through his entire heart and soul. "I've missed you so badly," he said.

Diana, who was still feeling excited about the pregnancy news, was stunned by his action. She wondered how long she was out, for her stomach to have developed so much. It's why she asks if it's a tumor.

She wanted to wrap her arms around him, but still felt weak to move much on her own. She's glad her mouth never got weak no matter what.

"You lost weight." she said.

"I thought you're going to leave me," he said.

"I can't die that easily." Diana said softly.

"I know, but I was scared."

"I'm back."

"I will never let you get hurt again. I will protect you with my life." he said, looking into her eyes with his tear laced one.

"Don't cry. There will never be a situation where you will have to do that Ethan. Let's leave the past as the past." she said. It's usually Ethan who consoles, but for once, Diana knew he needed it.

She suddenly froze as she was trying to touch his face with her left hand and saw the ring on her finger, "did I suffer memory loss?" she asked in astonishment.

Ethan paused his lips together and sniffed his nose to stop his tears from falling. "I can't put you in the family way out of wedlock." he said, showing her his own finger.

Diana smiled softly, while her heart beat against her chest, "I'm scared Ethan." she said.

Before he could panic, "I might have a heart attack if care is not taken." she said with a weak chuckle.

She's scared to open her eyes, but who knows these beautiful news are waiting for her.

Ethan smiled and kissed her forehead, "I will give you a grand wedding." he said.

"You better do it." Diana replied while they touch their hands, making the ring brush against each other.

"I'm sorry baby." he said, kissing the ring.

"Don't be, I'm happy." she said.

"I want to have you to myself right now, but there are people you will love to meet here." he said, while getting up on his feet and reached for the switch on the wall, pressed it to alert the doctor to come, before returning to her side.

"How did we escape?" Diana asked, before Ethan could sit down.

"Let's not talk about the past." he said and Diana nodded. She's not sure if she wants to know either. What if Ethan got injected and later got the cure. She didn't want that information.

Ethan on the other hand, resisted what he felt like doing to Austin's corpse and his whole residence, but just left because of Aroma.

Seeing how the girl was acting, and coupled with the fact that Diana has explained to him, about how Aroma knew Jenny and even cried when she saw her dead body, Ethan recalled how the two of them won't be alive, if Aroma didn't bring antidote for them.

That is why he just walked away and treated it as repayment, out of the care Aroma showed Diana.

The reason he shot her was because she attacked Nathan. He wouldn't risk Nathan getting hurt, because instead of getting angry and fighting her, he saw Nathan not doing that.

He's holding back because he knew Aroma, while Aroma wasn't in her right state of mind, and he didn't want to take risk like Nathan is doing.

He tried to shoot her shoulder to weaken her, but she moved fast, but thankfully he still didn't hit her where she could lose her life.

"Do you feel pain anywhere?" he asked, while Diana shook her head.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his lips to the back of her hand, "I'm sorry." he said again, totally forgotten that he has said it earlier.

Diana, who was feeling drowsy again, smiled weakly, "I brought it upon us Ethan, it's not your fault." she said. Trying to change the topic, because she was actually scared Ethan wouldn't want her again, because of what he went through, "why was my stomach patched up?" she asked.

"She's a survivor like her mother." Ethan said with a smile.

Diana raised her brows at him, "you know the gender already?" she asked, still couldn't believe this is really happening.

"It's just a guess." Ethan said with happiness evidence in his eyes, which made Diana more happy.

"The hit you suffered nearly led to a miscarriage, but she survived. You can't move around much till it takes a human form completely, which limits the risk and then you can get up on your feet and walk freely." he said, while Diana nodded in understanding.

That will only take them a month or less, because the baby is at the stage to almost complete it's transformation.

"Oh my god! we're going to have a child together." Diana said softly. Word can't explain how she's feeling right now, while she stares lovingly at Ethan, who placed a kiss on her tummy softly and reaches his hand to touch it, "yes, we are." he said.

"Oh god!" he exclaimed, as if in disbelief, and both chuckled, before a knock came on the door and the doctor came in.

"Mrs Mill, I'm glad you're finally awake." the doctor said, while the nurse that was coming behind him also had a smile on her face.

Diana smiled softly in return, while Ethan's gaze never left hers.

The doctor began asking her some questions, like how she's feeling, while Diana replied that her eyes wish to remain shut against her will.

She put it in a funny way, which made the doctor smile, while Ethan didn't find it funny one bit. "Why is that?" he asked.

The doctor explained that it's nothing to worry about. It's because she hasn't opened her eyes for a long time, so it will take time to adjust to the light.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. While his gaze locked with Diana's own, as she was staring at him all through the doctor's explanations.

She could see how he looked tense when questioning the doctor. She made him worry too much. He really seem scared
