Ina was given medicine to reduce the fever and for the coughing and she was sleeping as Damien waited for the doctor to bring the blood tests results.

He looked at her with worry, It's the first time that she stay sick for a long time, She had barely eaten anything in the last two days, The doctor said that it's a bad cold and that her immune system is weak because of the medicine's and her disease and that it will take a longer period for her than the normal person to recover.

​​

Damien felt a tug in his heart when he heard her make a discomforting sound in her sleep. He wanted to go and strangle that doctor and tell him to do something to ease her pain but he knew that he had to keep calm and focus for her.

Damien stood up and pulled the blanket up to cover her more properly and then he bent down and pressed his lips on the space between her eyebrows in a lingering kiss before he pulled back staring at her.

"What is happening to you my angel?" He whispered in an almost unheard voice to not wake her up.

Damien heard a knock on the door and the door opened, It was the doctor with what seemed to be another doctor.

"I apologize for being late, This is doctor Tom, He is an Ob/Gyn who is an expert in dealing with patient with MS, I will explain everything to you after I tell you the good news, Miss Ina is completely fine and the great news is that she is pregnant, Congratulations." The doctor said and saw the shock and the surprised look on Damien's face.

Damien was stunned hearing this, He turned to look at the sleeping Ina with a warm smile on his face.

"But what about the fever and the coughing?" He asked.

"Some women experience early pregnancy symptoms in the form of having a bad cold, It makes it tricky sometimes but the blood tests came positive." Doctor Tom explained.

"Will her disease make the pregnancy hard for her?" Damien asked the other doctor.

"No, If everything went fine, She will have a comfortable as possible pregnancy." The doctor replied.

Damien nodded and turned to look at Ina. He was over the moon happy but he was also scared.

He couldn't wait for her to wake up and tell her the great news.

Ina was transferred to the hospital to stay in it until she recovered, Another blood test was run to make sure that everything is okay.

...

Later at night.

Ina opened her eyes and looked around her to find herself in a different place, She realised was in a hospital room.

She went to her side and found Damien who was sleeping on the couch.

What happened when I was sleeping? She wondered.

"Damien." She called him but he seemed to not have heard her because he was asleep, She tried to call him again and this time it worked.

Damien got up off the couch and walked towards her.

"Hey, How do you feel now?" He asked as he brought her hand to his lips kissing the back of it.

"Much better, What happened?" she asked him.

Damien smiled and kissed her lips.

"It turned out that our baby is what made you sick for all these days." He said and watched as she frowned before she gasped.

"Do you mean?" Ina asked, wanting to confirm that she heard what he said right.

"Yes, Congratulations Miss Ray, You are pregnant." He declared the good news and he was surprised by how she bounced on him and clung to his neck like a small koala bear.

Damien let out a hearty laugh as he wrapped her arms around her body and made her sit on his lap.

Ina happiness turned into tears. She didn't want to cry but she couldn't help it. She buried her chest in his face and started to sob. The past year was very difficult for her and hearing this news made her forget about all the tiredness.

"You have a strange way of showing your happiness." Damien said as he rubbed her back soothingly and kissed the crown of her head.

"I'm sorry." She said as she lifted her head and looked at him.

Damien laid her back on the bed and pulled up the covers.

"The doctor said that you need to stay in the hospital until you get better, Your body is very weak, You need to eat Ina, No more excuses." Damien spoke in a firm tone and she nodded her head obediently.

She moved to the side and made a space for him to lay down beside her on the bed, Damien took off his shoes and joined her.

She snuggled closer to him and wrapped her arm around his waist, Damien chuckled at her behaviour but he was glad she was getting better and her joyful mode was back.

Soon she fell asleep again in his arms and he two. It didn't take him long to fall asleep. He hadn't slept well for the past three days. He was so worried about her that he couldn't close his eyes. He stayed beside her night and day tending to her.

...

The next morning.

Ina was woken up early by the nurse to get her ready for the examination, It took her a long time to be prepared because she was having a

"Good morning, Miss Ina, I'm doctor Tom, Your Ob/Gyn doctor, I have dealt with many MS pregnant patients." The doctor introduced himself.

Ina smiled and nodded her head.

"Nice to meet you, doctor." She said.

"How are you feeling now? Any discomforts?" The doctor asked as he started to examine her.

"Tried and I feel nausea." Ina replied.

"That's a completely normal symptom, Any other discomforts?" The doctor asked.

"My legs seem to be stiffer than usual." Ina replied.

"As an MS patient, I'm sure you have experienced this before. It will be a bit more intense during pregnancy but with the right treatments and exercises, You should be able to move." The doctor replied.

"Is there a chance that the baby will be born with the same disease?" Ina asked as she glanced at Damien wanting to know his reaction but he seemed to be ready for all the possibilities.

"No, Many women with MS had given birth to perfectly healthy children." The doctor replied, understanding her worries.

"The most important thing that comes after taking care of your health is to have a good amount of support and I can see that Mr Damien here is doing a good job at it." The doctor added.

Ina smiled hearing the doctor's words, It was true, Damien is very and always supportive towards her and she couldn't ask for more.

"Now, We will do a doppler scan first." The doctor asked as he asked the nurse to prepare her for the scan.

Ina nodded her head and asked Damien to come closer to her, He held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze smiling down at her.

The doctor placed the device on her lower abdomen and started to move around until the room was filled with a heartbeat sound. The doctor noticed that something was off and he moved the device to the other side of her stomach.

And then he asked the nurse to take her to the ultrasound room.

"Is something wrong?" Damien asked, seeing the look on the doctor's face.

"No, I'm doing a regular check, Nothing to be worried about." The doctor replied offering a polite smile.

Damien didn't ask further but he was sure that something was off.

...

Inside the ultrasound.

The doctor took a closer look at the screen to make sure that what he was seeing was real.

"Doctor, Is there something wrong?" Ina asked when the doctor didn't say anything.

"No, Everything is perfectly fine, But it seems that you are pregnant with triplets." The doctor declared.

"WHAT!" Both Ina and Damien said together.

The couple stared at each other with wide eyes, Not believing what they just heard.

1...2...3..., Three babies.

Ina felt her heart drop, Her emotions were mixed between and fear.

The doctor laughed at the couple's reaction.

"You are carrying three baby's, don't get excited, Carrying more than one baby is more difficult and more dangerous." The doctor explained.

Damien frowned hearing this.

"This means more doctor visits, Being extra careful with your food and health." The doctor started to speak but Ina couldn't hear anything.

She was so scared. As much as she wanted to have a baby she didn't think that she would have three babies for the first time.

Handling them will be difficult, especially with someone in her condition, Ina suddenly became scared.

Will she be able to take care of them? She asked herself.

She knew that Damien will help her as their father but at this rate, He will take care of them most of the time.
