Cold Showers — Chapter 38

As soon as Jayda ended the call, Sebastian did a happy dance for three minutes. He wanted to go to the rooftop of his office building and shout out loud that he was going to his baby's appointment tomorrow.

Before he left the office, Sebastian contacted his Secretary to reschedule all his morning meetings. Jayda and his child mattered the most in his life, every other thing could come later.

Seb had smiles on his face as he drove to his apartment. He took a shower, had dinner, then face timed Caleb.

"Guess what?" Sebastian said when his best friend's face came into view.

"You bought a new car," Caleb replied dryly. It was second to none how often Sebastian changes his cars.

"Unfortunately, No."

"Then what is it?" Caleb asked, carefully.

"Jayda called me this evening."

"Are you for real?"

Seb replied with a nod. He had smiles all over his face.

"Wow. That's amazing!"

"I know, I can't stop smiling since then."

"So what did she say?" Caleb asked.

"She thanked me for all the gifts I sent to her, I apologized for everything I did and she invited me to her Doctor's appointment tomorrow."

"That's amazing, I'm so happy for you, Seb. You lost her once and I really hope you learned your lesson. Now that she has given you another chance, Please don't screw it up. A woman like Jayda is hard to find."

"I promise I won't screw up. So, which outfit should I wear tomorrow?" Sebastian asked as he moved his camera to four different pairs of suits he had set aside in his closet.

Caleb chuckled in disbelief. "You're going for an appointment, man and not a damn business party."

Sebastian moved the camera back to his smiling face, "I know, I want to look good for Jayda and my baby. If I wasn't going to work tomorrow, I would have gone for a casual outfit."

"I See....someone is over excited about tomorrow," Caleb smiled.

..............

Sebastian hardly had any sleep last night. He kept on replaying his conversation with Jayda in his head and for some reason, he felt today was going to be the start of a new beginning for him. He promised himself to be very careful not to screw anything up.

Seb was up by 6:33 am, he did his morning ritual, made himself a cup of coffee which he sipped while doing some work on his laptop.

Once it was almost 8:30, he got ready for the day and left for the hospital.

As soon as Sebastian got down from his car, He sighted Jayda pulling up in the space next to where he parked his car. They must have like minds, arriving at the same time.

As nervous as he felt, he went over to the driver's seat to welcome her but he had to wait for a while because she was on a phone call.

Once Jayda was done talking to the person on the other side, She reached for the handbag that was on the front passenger's seat and helped herself down, only to come face to face with Sebastian who had both of his hands in his pocket. She had no idea he was standing there and perhaps waiting for her.

Sebastian was impressed by the woman before him. She looked more beautiful than the last time he saw her. She was also glowing wonderfully well which must be as a result of the pregnancy. Jayda was in her business suit attire with a pair of matching heels and bag. She had her hair in a low ponytail. She was just perfect!

"Good morning." He smiled at her. He noticed she was putting on the drop-down chain he bought for her and that made him very happy.

"Hi." She replied with a small smile.

"You look amazing!" He complimented which earned a small blush from Jayda.

"Thanks." She replied.

"Thank you for extending this invitation to me, I wouldn't trade being here with you with anything in the world." He said sincerely.

Jayda smiled, "We are honoured to have you here with us. Doctor Davis must be waiting for us, Let's go."

Sebastian and Jayda walk side by side into the hospital. When they got to the reception, they were directed to the ultrasound room where Davis was waiting for them.

"Good morning." Dr Davis greeted as soon as Seb and Jay walked into the room. She hugged Jayda and shook hands with Sebastian.

She was happy to see Jayda looking radiant which was great compared to how sad she was on her last appointment. It didn't take her long to figure out Sebastian was the father of Jayda's baby. She was happy he was here with Jay.

Sebastian sat on a chair beside the ultrasound bed while Jayda sat on the bed as Davis began to ask her questions about her health.

"How have you been dear?"

"Good, I guess."

"Morning sickness?"

"It's not always the most fun part of my day but I've been able to cope with it. The vitamins you prescribed helps me reduce the nausea but I feel dizzy once in a while."

Doctor Davis nodded. She scribbled something down on her chart.

"Any cravings?"

"Spicy food and sometimes Ice Cream. But this man over here has been feeding me with lots of chocolate." She pointed at Sebastian who suddenly became shy. They all chuckled.

"Any weird changes in your body?" Dr Davis asked.

"For now, No." She answered.

Davis took Jayda's blood pressure, thankfully it was normal which showed she hadn't been stressing herself. She led her to the scale to weigh herself after which it was time for the ultrasound.

Jayda removed her blazer and passed it to Seb who was more than happy to hold it for her. She settled on the bed. Dr Davis raised her Cami a little, right below her boobs.
