The President's Pregnant, Ex-Wife-Chapter 8 – Tell me, are you pregnant?

Earlier on, Robin was sitting in the doctor’s office with Zayla. This was their first antenatal check and Robin was quite excited about it.

"Please lay on the bed, Miss Chance. I will take a scan whiles we wait for the test results of the pregnancy test," the doctor said but Zayla did not move an inch, looking disturbed.

"Zayla, the doctor is talking to you," Robin nudged her, his gaze soft.

"Ehmmm, sorry, what did he say?" Zayla forced a smile and asked. Robin repeated softly,

"The scan, Zayla, I thought you’d be as excited as I am."

"Yes, the scan," Zayla said slowly to herself before rising to her feet. At the same time, Robin’s phone began to ring. He wanted to ignore it but it was coming from his secretary so he said,

"I’ll take this call and be right back."

Zayla felt the relief from the call as Robin stepped out of the doctor’s office. He got to the corridor and just as his finger was about to swipe to answer the call, he saw a familiar figure coming out of another consultation room. Robin moved in fast strides and grabbed her by the arm, "What are you doing here, Sabrina."

He was surprised since Sabrina was always healthy, never visiting the hospital for as long as he knew. To his utmost surprise, she let out an emotionless response, "Oh, it’s you." She freed her arm which he was still holding tightly. "Well, the last time I checked, you and I got divorced yesterday so where I go should not matter to you."

Robin gazed at her, wondering what had happened just between yesterday and today. She seemed to have changed, both in appearance and attitude but he was more concerned about what she was doing at the hospital, asking, "Tell me, are you pregnant?"

Sabrina stilled a little before settling that it was because he saw her at the hospital. She forced her hand out of his grip and said, "You are so ridiculous. Is pregnancy the only thing that brings a woman to the hospital?"

Robin sneered, "Yeah, how can you even be pregnant?"

Sabrina’s gaze dulled but her composure remained. "And what are you doing here? Are you pregnant too?" She scoffed. Robin grimaced. He was not used to this side of Sabrina and yelled in a warning tone,

"Sabrina!"

"It’s just a question. Or, perhaps you brought your first love or should I say your new wife?" Sabrina taunted with an innocent look. The thought of Zayla made her feel a strange pain in her heart but her expression remained neutral. She would never show her weakness in front of the man who broke her.

"You sound like you are jealous," Robin observed before speaking, wondering where the so-called man he saw her with yesterday was. Whiles he was at it, he also imagined how she managed to have transformed overnight.

She even wore makeup and designer clothes. He thought she never liked those things before so what happened? Sabrina forced a smile which did not reach her eyes. Indeed, she was but also knew that soon, it would fade away as soon as she got over him.

"Haha, that’s funny. Goodbye, Mr. Jewel," she said and walked past him. She finally thought she was free and could breathe again but Robin thought otherwise, grabbing her by the arm again as soon as she walked past him. "Are you sure that you are not pregnant?" He asked seriously.

’Did I do anything to make him suspicious?’ Sabrina did not want any entanglements with her ex-husband. It was obvious that he would complicate her life if he found out about her pregnancy.

"Don’t flatter yourself, Mister Jewel, your sperms are not as powerful as you think," Sabrina snarled, Robin saw red. His hand around her arm tightened and he barked,

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let go of her arm," Devin’s cold voice interrupted. When he was going back to the office, he saw Robin driving in, for which reason he changed his mind along the way, rather arranging for the client who was also a friend, to meet him elsewhere.

As expected, Robin was tormenting his sister again and he was not liking it. Robin’s eyes darkened and as much as he wanted to demand answers and kill this man with his bare hands, it would create a scene. Also, Sabrina was no longer his. Recalling how they almost fought yesterday, he could not do so again when Zayla was waiting for him in the consultation room.

He loosened his grip on Sabrina’s arm, the same time Devin’s arms wrapped protectively around Sabrina’s waist as he asked, "are you alright?" His tone was soft and full of care, Robin went into deep thought, asking again,

"Sabrina, were you cheating on me during our three years of marriage?" His voice was low because of the woman he came with. Sabrina ignored him and responded to Devin’s question,

"Now that you are here, I am fine," she smiled and spoke flirtatiously. Devin kissed her on the forehead whiles they walked away.

Robin’s teeth grounded together as he watched the two figures walk away. Yes, Sabrina was cheating on him all this while. If not, how could she have hooked up so fast? He needed to find out and if that was the case, indeed, things would not turn out well.

He forgot that his phone had been ringing. Looking at it again, there were ten missed calls. He was about to call back when it began ringing again so he answered it.

"Mister Jewel, it was Mister Chance but he said he would come back to see you later."

Mister Chance was Zayla’s father so Robin could not get upset. "Alright. I will see you soon," he said on the phone to his secretary. As soon as he hung up, he went back to the consultation room where he left Zayla.

Robin realized that the doctor was not as warm as before. However, he did not make it his business to find out. He directed his attention at Zayla and asked,

"How did it go?"

"She is six weeks pregnant and here are the scans," the doctor said, handing the scans over to Robin, who watched without understanding much. Afterall, there was not much to see in just six weeks of pregnancy scan.

"And her well-being?" Robin asked again.

"Everything is fine," the doctor said in assurance.

"Doctor, we can have sex too, right?" Zayla asked the doctor with a wink. Robin had refused to touch her last night, fearing that he might hurt the child.

"Sure, sure, as much as you can take," the doctor answered, not looking at any of the parties sitting in front of him.

Robin smiled. "Alright, so when is the next appointment?"

Both Zayla and the doctor stiffened instantly and Robin was curious, asking, "aren’t pregnant women supposed to have periodic checks?"

"Yes, they are, and in her case, it should be in four weeks but I will not be the same person to take care of her. I am relocating to California so another doctor will be there to attend to her."

Robin frowned imperceptibly. "But that was not the arrangement. I hate different doctors checking on the mother or my child and I made it clear to the hospital administration."

"I’m sorry but this is an emergency and I don’t know when I will return," the doctor politely apologized. Zayla realized that Robin was making a big deal out of everything, thereby pleading,

"Darling, it’s alright. They can assign me to another doctor during our next visit."

"Alright!" Robin said, as a relief chuckle escaped from the doctor’s lips. In the next juncture, he said to Zayla, "But I will still speak to the management later or even get you to a different hospital," he pledged, not comfortable with everything going on. Zayla fought the unease swelling in her heart and distracted him, saying,

"It’s okay but can we grab lunch before I get back to the penthouse? You know the chef hasn’t arrived so I can warm it and eat later."

"Sure. There is a restaurant close by. We can do with some take outs," Robin agreed.

The two walked out hand in hand, arriving at the restaurant when Zayla caught sight of a couple and smiled. ’So, Sabrina was cheating on Robin. Now, Robin will forget completely about the bitch.’

From the entrance where they walked in, Zayla grabbed Robin’s hand tightly and said to the hearing of Sabrina who was eating with Devin, "Darling, your ex-wife was not faithful to you. You just divorced yesterday and she already has a man."
