The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Black deal negotiations Holding Elijah‘s hand a bit tightly, Peach stared solely at him as they sat in the backseat of the Limousine, on their way to the hospital.

“It‘s just a check–up,” Elijah said, trying not to let his nervousness show through. “You and little Munchkin are fine.”

“I know. I‘m just happy… a bit nervous, but happy,” Peach admitted, and then she took a moment to take some deep breaths, then looked at her husband with a small smile.

A while later, Elijah walked Peach into Doctor Harry‘s office, the couple smiled at him when he raised his gaze and beamed at them.

“Welcome guys… Sit, please.” Dr. Harry asked politely.

After leading Peach to a chair, Elijah took a seat by her and then focused on Dr. Harris as he asked, “So, are you two really to hear your baby‘s heart–”

Suddenly Elijah‘s ringtone interrupted the doctor, and with an apologetic look on his face, he stared at Peach as he reached into his pocket for it, mumbling, “I am so sorry, babe.” When he got it out of his pocket, Elijah stared at the screen for a split second, and then he turned the phone off, putting it back into his pocket.

Then he focused on Doctor Harry and said, “Please continue.”

“Well… As I was saying, ‘Are you guys ready to hear your baby‘s heartbeat?” Dr. Harry asked, smiling widely.

Looking over at Peach, Elijah sensed a weird emotion that he couldn‘t figure out, and he watched her beamed at him.

Almost in unison, the two of them answered, “Yes! We‘re ready!”

A couple of minutes later, Peach was laying on her back on the hospital bed with Elijah standing by her side, his hand in hers, and she kept squeezing it, eyeing him with fear in her eyes. “Little Munchkin is fine,” Elijah told her gently, and Peach let out a sigh of relief, relaxing against the pillow. Then they both watched the technician hold a small probe against Peach‘s belly and said, “Please keep still, okay, Mrs. Maxwell?”

“Yes, sorry…,” Peach agreed, squeezing Elijah‘s hand again. With a nod of her head, the technician pressed the probe down, and it took a couple of seconds, but soon, a tiny heartbeat could be heard coming from the device.

Tears welled up in Peach‘s eyes and she whispered, “That‘s our baby‘s heartbeat.”

Chuckling in excitement, Elijah nodded at her, before leaning down and kissing her forehead, listening to his heir‘s heartbeat as he whispered, “I am proud of you.” “I am proud of us,” Peach laughed through her tears. “We are finally going to be a family of three.”

Even though those words felt surreal to them, the sound of their unborn baby‘s heartbeat echoing softly in their ears made it all too real for the couple.

After they got done with the procedure a moment later, Elijah was escorting Peach down the hospital lobby when he felt someone‘s eerie feeling like they were being watched and he turned around to see who it was.
