Love is the Sunshine

Up on her feet and carefully staying still on the staircase, Carla glanced down at Terence. She then forced out a cough and rested her hand on her flat midriff, acting as if she were expectant.

"What do you think you're doing there just standing still? Get up here and hold my hand while I go down the stairs. If I accidentally fall, it might be bad for our baby."

Just a couple of minutes beforehand, Terence actually went ahead and told his father that Carla was carrying his baby.

Upon hearing that, Terence instantly knew that she was pulling his leg. Feeling quite amused, he couldn't help but burst into laughter as he walked up toward her to offer his hand and assist her carefully as she went down the stairs. "All I said was imply that he'll be having a grandson soon enough. It's not like I literally told him you're already pregnant now. It was just that my father interpreted it the wrong way. He just took it at face value when I told him about his grandson."

As soon as she came downstairs, Carla immediately headed for the kitchen to grab a bottle of yogurt from the fridge and enjoy it on the sofa. "But your father already thinks that's what you really meant to say. Sooner or later, he's bound to figure out that you lied to him. For now, what do you plan to do about it? I'm dead sure he'll be so pissed when he finds out."

"We'll just deal with it when the time comes. If nothing else, at least we can be at ease for the next couple of months without having to worry about it." Terence remarked, lounging right beside Carla.

Carla's legs were feeling quite sore, so she hoisted them up and rested them on Terence's knees, leaning against the sofa while holding a pillow. As she leisurely drank the sour but sugary yogurt she stated, "Give it maybe three or four months, he'll be onto us and realize that I'm not pregnant. What kind of excuse are we going to tell him?"

Subsequently, after Carla voiced out her concerns, Terence softly smiled and quickly ran his eyes over her stomach as he was massaging the back of her legs.
