The Devil's Sweetheart

At first, confusion, then realization hit him hard. His hand trembled. In a blink of an eye, Leena watched him undergo a series of emotions, and finally, his face buzzed with happiness like he fell in love with the whole world. At the sight of his genuine smile, the world stopped for Leena, and all that existed for her was him and his eyes staring at her.

''Are you really?'' He asked in disbelief. He still can't believe this is all real, only to wake up to hear that it was a beautiful dream. 

Although Leena hasn't confirmed with the gynecologist, the signs are apparent. ''A thousand times yes! You got a promotion.'' She pinched his cheeks hard to let him know the emotions he experienced were all real. ''I have hinted at you several times, but your thick brain didnot catch my clues. One plus one is not eleven, idiot.''

Now that Devin backtracked, one plus one was a direct hint, but there were many cases where he got indirect hints.. He should have guessed by her change in mood swings and her eating habits. ''I am going to become a father, Leena.'' He kissed her cheeks and lips everywhere on her face as he muttered, 'I am going to become a father' like it was a hymn. 

''Yes, yes.'' She giggled at his cute reactions. She expected he would be excited, but not like this.

''Can I?'' He hopefully asked, eyes moving to her flat stomach. A little scared, yet he wanted to feel the sensation. It's their symbol of love.

"You need to ask?" Leena's heart warmed at how much he is respecting her wished. She took his hand and put it on her stomach. Devin lightly shuddered at the warm touch. A little later, the anxiety wore off as he gently caressed her flat stomach. ''This is the most precious birthday gift I could ever get.'' He would cherish this moment forever. ''Thank you so much, Sweetheaert."

Her eyes watered for no reason. In another nine months, there would be giggles, waves of laughter in their happy home. 

She snuggled closer to Devin. Unlike other times, careful he was. He shifted Leena's body to a comfortable position and lay his protective arm around her waist. ''When did you confirm?'' Was it in the secret house it happened? It must be. He would always pull out to ensure safety, but his body didnot listen to his mind's constant pleas on that day.

''On the day Enger took me.'' Replied Leena. ''I planned to go for a check-up before revealing. It was good that he didnot know, otherwise..'' She trailed off, snubbing the negative thoughts of that day. 

Devin knew if Enger knew of Leena's pregnancy, he would definitely get rid of it. He was glad Leena was still in her early stage of pregnancy.

Little did Devin and Leena know, Enger tried to kill the baby twice, but nothing could harm the tiny little one to sprout into life.

''Don't think of that incident anymore.'' After clearing Ruth, Devin entirely concentrated on Enger alone. He was planning to contact Morvena and convince her to get the evidence, and before that, he took her his Leena. 

Enger's chapter is closed forever, and nothing will separate his sweetheart from him. ''Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for the check-up, Alright?'' Devin texted his mom that he would arrive at the hospital in the morning. Before confirming, he doesn't want to inform anybody yet.

''Hmm...okay.'' She smiled, imagining how Devin would pamper their kid. At the thought, Leena immediately sprang up and jumped onto Devin's chest. ''Who do you think? Daughter or son?''

Before Devin replied, Leena babbled. ''I want a daughter. A cute daughter. I am perfectly fine with son as well, but shirts and pants are boring. I can't go for shopping to buy cute little stuff.''

''If it is a daughter, I can do different hairstyles every day, and get her ready with cute dresses, accessories, go for shopping to buy them, I can keep myself busy, and many more.'' She squealed, clapping her hands. It's daughter! She confirmed. Leena made a note to shop for cute little dresses, hair accessories.

A daughter? The thought of a tiny little one running around the house cheered Devin. He only hoped their child doesn't inherit the narcissist traits of this biggest narcissist, but that will be the hypothetical question. But he didnot dare to point his opinion. He doesn't wonder if Leena will throw him out of the bedroom. Her mood swings are hard to ignore. He wondered if they remain for the whole nine months. If that's the case, he is dead meat in her hands.

''I will go on shopping this weekend with Reese.''

''Are you really going to shop for our daughter, or it's a cover-up so that you will get the chance to buy dresses?''

''Well..'' She cleared her throat. ''As my tummy will grow, I need dresses that fit my body. So, naturally, I need new dresses.''

Devin shook his head, a smile on his face. ''Alright, madam. Permission granted.''

Leena babbled on and on, talking about their children until her tired eyes automatically closed shut. 

Devin pulled the blanket and securely tucked her. Laying his hand protectively around her waist, he stared at her serene face. ''Good night darling.'' He kissed her forehead and followed her to into the deep slumber after her.

The following day Devin woke up to calls and birthday messages from his family and friends. Getting ready, he took her to the hospital in the morning for a check-up. Unlike his usual fastness, he drove at a snail pace. At one point, Leena yelled at him, unable to hold back her frustration.

At the hospital, her mother screamed like she had won an oscar after knowing that Leena had come to check for pregnancy. In her sheer happiness, Evelyn forgot to treat Leena and rushed out to call Fredrick. Devin has to practically drag her back to remind her of the duty. 

By the time Devin brought Leena out of the hospital after the necessary tests, the news had reached the whole family and his friends.
