Chapter 51— Preggie?

Three months had passed since Lena and Henderson started dating and they were having the best days of their lives. Lena's therapy was going well and she was recovering really quickly, she no longer had the nightmares. Cleo's divorce had been finalised a month back, she decided to give Henry another chance to forgive him and start all over again so she went over to his place only to find out that the lady he had been cheating with had moved in with him. She made up her mind to go on with the divorce proceedings without wasting any more time. Henry had a job because of Henderson who let him work at one of his companies outside town but after the cheating saga, he was fired by Henderson and all the benefits that came with his job were taken away from him. When Henry saw that he was devastated, he met with Alia and told her to help him out. Alia called Cleo for the second time telling her to get back with Henry but Cleo told her that whatever relationship she shared with Henry was now over and she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. When Alia sent Henderson a message telling him to stop Cleo from. making the worst decision of her life, he made it clear to her that the only person who was making a bad decision was her for choosing the side of an enemy just because of her crazy opinions. "Sweet are you sure you are ok?" Lena inquired rubbing her palm over Henderson's hand when she noticed how silent he had been while they had dinner. Henderson invited Matteo over to have dinner with them. Henderson nodded, a smile marred his face as he turned to Lena. "I'm perfectly fine, I'm just a bit tired, " he muttered bringing her hand to his lips and kissing the back of it. Lena's eyes studied Henderson's face to fathom his expression but it was unreadable. "Sorry about that, maybe you should take some rest right after you are done with your food," Lena muttered giving Henderson a light squeeze on the shoulder. "Or maybe I should do it now," Henderson said standing up to his feet before Lena could say anything else he scooted away. "Is Daddy OK?" Itzel sighed turning to Lena who watched Henderson's retreating figure. "I'll go check on him, " Lena muttered rising to her feet. Cleo and Matteo nodded, exhaling Lena headed to Henderson's room. "Come in." Lena pushed the door open and walked into the room after getting the response to her knock from Henderson. His face contorted in a frown but he managed to wear a smile when his eyes met Lena's. He sat up from the bed. "You weren't done with your food when I left." "Neither were you How could I continue to eat when you left without finishing your meal? And I sense you are upset about something, what is it?" Lena asked softly taking her seat beside Henderson. "Babe, I'm perfectly fine. I told you I'm just tired. I just took your advice about resting. Shouldn't you go back downstairs? Your best friend is waiting." Lena sighed into her palms, her lips pressed together and she turned to face Henderson. "So this is what this is about? Matteo was right." Henderson's eyes crinkled in confusion, he stared at Lena with arched perfectly carved eyebrows. "Right about what? What do you mean?" Lena shook her head, "Don't do that sweet, You know what I'm talking about. If you are not comfortable with Matteo's presence here then why did you invite him?" "When did I say I'm uncomfortable with Matteo's visit?" Henderson's lips were pursed, and he peeked at Lena with raised brows. "Babe!" Lena sputtered straightening herself up. She gazed downward taking in a sharp breath. She slowly exhaled and stared down at Henderson. "You are making this really hard for me sweet. If you aren't comfortable with anything you should tell me not walk out of the dining leaving everyone to worry the way you did, " A sigh escaped Lena's lips. "Matteo said something and I thought he was just blabbing. Matteo is my best friend, I love you Henderson. I really do and nothing can change that. Just talk to me, tell me what's going on in your mind, " Lena purred softly. Now that she was thinking about it, Henderson's behaviour was nothing sort of new, she could clearly remember that whenever Matteo was around Henderson spoke less, it was almost as if he was absent. Henderson stood to his feet. "I'm sorry, Lee if me walking out of the dining hurt you. I just feel that whenever Matteo comes around I become invisible, I used to think I was great with Trent but when Matteo is here it seems like I'm not even good. Matteo knows a lot about you, he makes you really happy and I on the other hand I'm just..." Henderson breathed out and regarded Lena's hazel eyes. He bowed his head, and his eyes closed. When his eyes opened and he looked at Lena, he tried to hide his emotions but she could read every bit of it in his eyes. "You are nothing but amazing. You make me happy and it doesn't matter if you don't know everything about me. We are still getting to know each other. You talk about your relationship with Trent? Trent loves you and this recent days he has got me wondering if he wouldn't trade me for you, he is so fond of you." Lena's lips curved into a smile. Her hands encircled Henderson's neck, and standing on her toes she reached for a kiss. "You are the love of my life, Henderson. I love you." She whispered after pulling away. Henderson spunned Lena around and kissed her, The familiarity of the kiss had her weak at her knees and it left her out of breath when he finally let her go. He pulled Lena's chin up making her look into his eyes, her hands wrapped around his waist as they shared an eye lock. "I'll always love you my Lee, " he cupped her cheeks with his palms and planted a kiss on her forehead. Next Day..... Lena was home with Trent and Itzel, they were back from school and were taking a nap in their rooms. Henderson had gone to the office with Cleo, she worked there now. She resumed work two weeks ago. Lena was watching her favourite TV show when the doorbell rang. When she got up from the couch, the doorbell rang again even though she answered and when she was just a few steps away from the door the doorbell rang again. Lena sighed reaching for the doorbell, wondering who the impatient person was. No one who lived at the mansion rang the doorbell like that. "I'm here to see Henderson, " the lady who kept rolling her eyes at Lena like she was some kind of thrash spoke up. Lena took in the sight of the lady who was wearing a very tight crop top which had her boobs popping out screaming for freedom, the denim skirt she wore was extremely short. And the lady's face was fully caked with makeup like she was going to a painting competition. "Who are you?" Lena inquired. The lady snorted, her nose crinkled in disgust as she peered down at Lena. "How is it your business?" She huffed staring daggers at Lena before her countenance faded to a sinister smile. "Well if you really want to know, I'll tell you. I'm here to see Henderson because I'm carrying his baby! I'm preggie."
