The Billionaire's Baby Boom; Nine Months Of Chaos

"I'm sorry Mrs Sawyer. You're not pregnant" The female doctor announced to the lady before her. The initial gleam she saw in her eyes vanished and washed away after she broke the news to her.

Maya accepted the report the doctor extended to her, she opened it to see what the report was all about.

"How can this be possible? My period is late. And also I've been throwing up lately" Maya explained amidst tears. She clutched the papers to her chest sobbing softly.

It's been two years since she got married and just a few months back, she had suggested to her husband that they should start having kids. Her husband, Cameron, was one who travelled a lot and this made her lonely everytime.

That was the more reason she wanted to have a baby so bad.

"Look ma'am, there's nothing to be sad about. Your period was only late and you've been throwing up because of an allergic reaction to something you ate"

Maya nodded her head to the doctors words and stood up from her chair. She sniffed back and raised her tear filled face to the doctor.

"Thanks. I'll be on my way now"

She turned around moving to the door slowly. She still couldn't believe that she wasn't pregnant. For once she had believed that a soul was growing in her tummy but all she felt now was emptiness.

Once her hand gripped the knob twisting it, she heard the doctor speak again behind her.

"Mrs Sawyer hold on a minute"

Maya turned sharply to the doctor with an interested look in her teary brown eyes.

"Listen. I know how desperate you've been trying to conceive in the last few months. But there's a method I'd like to recommend"

Maya's eyes brightened up instantly, she wiped her face with the back of her palm ready to listen to whatever the doctor had to say.

At this point, she was desperate to do anything as long as she'd have a child to call her own.

"Really? What is it doctor?"

***

"Artificial insemination?"

Maya nodded her head looking up at her husband with so much gleam in her eyes. She watched his expression to check for any hesitation and when she found none, she continued saying..

"Yes. The doctor at the hospital recommended that to me"

Cameron, Maya's husband, dropped his cutlery down harshly against his plate. He moved his chair back before rising up to his feet.

"This madness has to stop Maya!"

Maya was taken aback by his cold tone. She stood up and followed behind him as he walked up the stairs in fast pace.

"Cameron!"

She called his name as soon as they both entered their bedroom. Cameron walked to the large floor to ceiling window staring at the city below.

"I'm talking to you!" She yelled once more for him to turn around to face her. His face was red in anger.

"What do you expect me to say? We've tried everything we could to make you conceive based on different doctors opinion. What makes you think that this time this absurd method you just brought up would work?..just accept the fact that you can't conceive-

No sooner had the word dropped out of his lips, a slap followed suite. Maya pushed his chest.

"Cameron! Do you have any idea of how lonely I feel when you leave for those business trips of yours that last for months?! You think I can't conceive too?"

Maya broke down into tears. Nothing hurts more than when you're a woman and you can't conceive a child. Though her marriage was just two years old, she could count the number of times she had been intimate with her husband during those two years.

Realizing his mistake, Cameron reached for her arm but she avoided his touch like he was a disease she didn't want to have contact with.

Maya dragged her feet lazily towards the large bed where she took a seat. Her sobs filled the room.

It broke Cameron to see her like that, he sighed deeply cussing himself for his sudden outburst.

"Maya I'm sorry"

He moved closer to her where he sat on his heels before her.

"I'm such an idiot..Please. I'm so sorry for what I said. I'm willing to do anything as long as it will make you happy"

He raised his hands to her face wiping off the tears on her face.

"I'm sorry baby"

Cameron stood to his feet and hugged her to pacify her.

****

The next morning, the two drove to the hospital after they finally agreed to go through the process. Everyone who passed by the couple could see how Maya looked so elated.

She had spent all night suggesting baby names and room themes if eventually their little one was born.

Cameron however looked rather impatient, he couldn't wait for this whole process to get over so he could leave from here.

"What of Olivia or Bella?" Maya asked curiously peeking over at Cameron's phone to see what he was up to. However, he hid his phone back into his pocket.

"Maya. We've discussed this issue at home. Let's get the news first and stop getting your hopes up" Even though he tried not to sound harsh, his words did.

Maya rolled her eyes and turned around to leave his side but ended up bumping into a firm build hurrying in.

His reflexes was quite fast. His arm went round her waist to prevent her from hitting the ground.

A low gasp left her lips as the figure's face flashed before her bright eyes.

He was a tall, chiseled figure in his late twenties or early thirties, with piercing blue eyes and a sharp jawline. His dark hair was perfectly permed, and his sharp features were accentuated by a slight scruff.

He wore an impeccable black suit and white shirt on the inside.A slight crease between his eyes, suggesting a deepening of his worry lines or annoyance perhaps.

His cologne waft through her nostrils filling her lungs. Maya had no idea how long she had wasted staring into his eyes until she felt herself being pushed away.

Luckily, Cameron was right behind her. He caught her on time. After Maya regained her stance she snapped her head to the man ready to lash out at him for pushing her that way but to her surprise, She saw a lady standing next to him with a cold glare.

"Keep your dirty paws off my man! Your cheap trick to get his attention won't work at all" The dark haired lady on a red mini gown spoke while she held his arm possessively.

Maya took a step forward but was held back by Cameron before she could do anything drastic.

"Let go Cameron! Do you see her bad attitude? She thinks I'm interested in her ugly man!"

The young man's aura was off. His eyes narrowed down at the little woman who just called him ugly.

"Hey! Watch your mouth lady!" The lady on red warned but was led away by the young man with her.

"Lousy" He snorted which Maya heard clearly..

"Cameron did you hear that?! How mannerless of them. They both deserve each other" She mumbled in irritation. They had managed to spoil her mood by appearing before her.

After a hour of waiting, Cameron was led to a room while Maya waited behind where a few women were waiting too. It appeared that she wasn't the only one who chose this method to have a baby.

Last night, Maya made a nude video of herself and sent it to Cameron. This was one of the easiest way to collect samples from Cameron. She bit her nails while pacing around hoping for everything to go well.

"Are you that shameless? You actually followed us here"

Maya turned to her side when she heard the oddly familiar voice. Her pupils dilated in anger. This was the same rude woman who had insulted her earlier.

"You!" She seethed in annoyance.

"Oh please. Shut up! My fiance won't even look at a pathetic person like yourself dirt pig!"

Annoyed by the words the other lady was spurting, Maya grabbed her by her hair and sent a slap to her face.

The other women were alerted immediately. They rushed forward to separate the two ladies who were shamelessly clawing at each other but one of them ended up bumping into a nurse holding a tray with a few bottles on it.

"Maya!"

Cameron who was just stepping out of the Ward reached for her and successfully pulled her hands off the rude lady's hair.

"Maya control yourself! For God's sake this is a hospital"

Maya pointed a finger to the lady who started all these. The man she was with earlier pulled her to his side too when she was about to launch an attack on Maya.

"Jessica! Behave yourself!"

Surprisingly the lady named Jessica turned to her husband or whatever he was to her and released herself from his hold.

"Don't tell me to calm down Kelvin! She started it and I won't let her go easily do you get that?!"

The situation was a little bit hard to control with both ladies trying to pry off their husband's hold to claw at each other again.

"Maya!" Cameron firmly called her holding her shoulder in place. He took a glance behind her as he stared at the other couple arguing between themselves. "You're better than this honey. The doctor asked you not to stress yourself before the procedure otherwise it might cause some mishaps"

Cameron's words managed to calm Maya's nerves down. She inhaled deeply and gave a nod to him. She could agree to anything if it concerns her having a child. She took a brief glance behind her where her eyes met the magnetic ones of the tall man standing behind her.

"Fine"

Meanwhile....

"You'd actually have me go through this than to have sex with me like a normal man would?..Do you see the amount of embarrassment I'm facing over here?!" Jessica's voice was low but firm. She raised her head making eye contact with her fiance but he quickly pulled his eyes away from hers with a loud snort.

"You aren't worth it" his response was brief and rigid. He didn't bat an eyelid at her dumbfounded state. Instead he concentrated his attention on the lady with her back facing him.

Luckily for her at that moment, a nurse approached them.

"Mrs Sinclair, Mrs Sawyer and Mrs Miller you three are ready for the procedure"

Jessica gave one last look at him before she turned around and walked away with the nurse.

Cameron placed a hand on Maya's shoulder with a reassuring smile on his lips.

"You can do this" He whispered to her.

***

After two long hours of waiting in the waiting area where some men were seated waiting for their respective wives who went in for the same procedure as Maya, Cameron spotted Maya heading his way.

He stood up from his seat and approached her in hurried footsteps.

"Maya-

She threw herself into his wide opened arms, he placed a kiss on her forehead and pulled away afterwards.

"Are you hurt or anything?" He asked, worried lines creasing up in his forehead until she shook her head.

"Even if I was feeling hurt, I'll happily endure it as long as our little one is growing inside me" She took her hands in his as they both started walking away.

"Mr and Mrs Sawyer please hold on"

The voice made them halt their movement. Maya was the first to turn around where her eyes fell on the nurse holding a notepad. There was something about the nurse's expression that caused a weird uneasiness in Maya's mind.

"What for?" Maya inquired with both hands on her hips.

The nurse cleared her throat awkwardly trying hard not to stare at Maya directly.

"The doctor would like to have a word with you and your husband"

*****

Maya and Cameron tapped their feet impatiently as they gazed at the male doctor who was all sweaty from nervousness. The door opened and the same nurse from earlier came in ushering two figures into the doctor's office.

"This way Mr Sinclair"

The two couples glanced at each other with a snort leaving the ladies lips followed by a roll of their eyes. Their earlier banter was still fresh in their minds.

The doctor shakingly reached for his face towel on his desk and dabbed it over his face. The news he was about to break to them would either cost him his life or his job or worse, his doctor's license. He shivered from the mere sight of the imposing tall figure at the back.

His icy blue eyes boring into the doctor's soul.

"Is something wrong doctor?"

The doctor faced Maya and suddenly laughed out dryly.

"Oh dear. Nothing is wrong at all" he added to clear the uneasiness his awkward laughter caused.

Maya heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment she thought that the procedure had gone wrong at some point but since that wasn't the case, there was nothing to worry about.

"There's just been a tiny mistake during the procedure you see.." The doctor spoke which gained the attention of the four in an instant.

His shivering didn't stop, he looked nervous as hell to break the news to them. One thing he knew for sure was that the man at the back won't spare him.

Kelvin Sinclair wasn't a nobody. He was infact one of the people who controlled L.A.

"What mistake?"

The statue like man finally spoke. His voice deep and dry which didn't help the doctor in any way.

"The sperm samples were mixed up by accident" The doctor finally broke the news leaving them in an eery and deafening silence.

It took them a minute to break out of the shock.

"What?!" Maya sprang up to her feet with her hands on her belly.

The doctor was quick to stand up from his seat behind the desk. He shook his head slowly.

"There's still a chance that the procedure might fail. We just need two weeks to confirm if you both are pregnant or not"

"What manner of incompetence is this?! Do you realize what you've done here?!" Cameron barked almost strangling the poor sweaty doctor to death.

However, the two ladies were still in shock at what they just heard. Their hands fell on their belly caressing it gently. There was a high possibility that there might be a tiny being growing inside of them but the child might not belong to their respective partners.

Maya was the most dumbfounded. She sent a sharp glare to Kelvin Sinclair standing at a corner oozing out a deadly aura. He was indeed a man of few words only his expressions showed his true feelings right now.

"I'll rather have no kids at all than to bear yours!" She lashed out irritably and stormed out of the office not without bumping her shoulder against his arm.

Cameron gave one final look at the doctor "you'll hear from me soon!"

He quickly left the office to go after his wife.

"Did you hear that Kelvin?! There's a high chance that I'm pregnant with another man's baby! Are you happy now?! You know...if you had just slept with me in the first place none of this would have happened-

"Enough!" His one worded response sent a shiver down her spine. He took some steps forward to the doctor who was now almost hiding behind his blue curtains.

"If you knew that you weren't ready to be a responsible gynecologist then why on earth did you choose to open a clinic?!"

"Mr Sinclair...we'll be able to tell if they're really pregnant two weeks from now"

****

Cameron fastened his seatbelt and started the car which slowly left the hospital. Next to him was Maya who was completely lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes were so puffy from crying so much. It wasn't in his nature to say 'i told you so' to anyone when something goes wrong. But, Maya's stubbornness to have a kid has soiled things pretty bad.

"If you had just listened to me-

"I'm not ready to listen to you mock me about this Cameron!" She responded, cutting his off before he even began talking.

"I'm not trying to mock you Maya. If you had just exercised a little patience with me-

"Patience?! That's all you keep telling me! Do you know how bored I get staying alone while you go to your fancy business trips at Paris, Hawaii and Dubai?.. Sometimes I feel like you don't even want kids!"

Her last words sank deep into his head. The car suddenly stopped causing her to launch forward since she wasn't putting on her seatbelt. She regained her posture and snapped her head to him.

"I'm doing all these for us! But you're so eager to push things forward and now look at where it has gotten you to. You're pregnant with another man's child. That's sick Maya!"

Maya was left in shock. Her jaw dropped in surprise at his outburst. There was a sudden rush of adrenaline and in a second, her hand met his face harshly causing an echo in the car..

Cameron wasn't the least surprised at her attack, he ran his tongue over his teeth trying to suck in his anger before he does something that he might regret later.

"I'm only stating the facts here. Maya. Just be hopeful that you turn out to be pregnant because I'm not sure that I might raise someone else's kid-

Maya snorted and opened the car's door, she stepped out and slammed the door closer harder than necessary.

"Just get out of here!" She yelled at him amidst tears.

She turned around and began heading towards the opposite direction. All she wanted was some moment to clear her mind. Maybe Cameron was right after all, if she had just waited for a while longer things might be different.

But again, she had been trying for months now. How much longer does she have to wait before she finally conceived?

And for the first time in the last two years, she hoped not to be pregnant. In just two weeks, she'd be able to find out if she was truly pregnant or not. Till then, she'll continue having hope for the better.

Two weeks later...

Rooted on the ground in front of a mirror in the bathroom was Maya, holding a pregnancy test strip which had two red clear lines. She appeared too shaken to react to anything.

Her eyelids finally fluttered as a streak of tears fell off her eyes and staining her cheeks.

The pounds on the bathroom's door didn't faze her or stop her from crying. Cameron knocked again but she didn't respond to him.

He took a step back and rushed forward again to the door and bumped his shoulder against the door with a strong amount of force.

The door opened forcefully at the impact. He rushed in a little scared that she might have hurt herself in there. But to his surprise, he saw her sitting limply on the partially wet tiled floor. And a few metres away from her was a pregnancy test strip.

His eyes closed briefly as soon as his gaze fell on the positive strip on the bathroom floor.

"Maya look.. there's still time for you to get rid of it"

Maya finally moved. Her eyes dropped to her flat belly. The happiness she had always thought she'd feel when she becomes pregnant was nowhere to be found except grief.

Her poor heart ached so much. She finally got what she wanted but not with the same man she had loved for four years. This was a stranger's baby growing inside of her.

"Don't worry Maya. I'll arrange an appointment with a doctor for you right away"

The past few weeks hasn't been easy in the Sinclair's home either. Kelvin and Jessica were not in the best terms too. The whole Sinclair could feel that there was something wrong with the pair whose wedding was coming up in few weeks time.

But neither of them has said a word to their families concerning the incident which occured at the clinic two weeks ago.

Meanwhile at Kelvin's bedroom...

Kelvin's head was lifted from the file he was reading to the direction of the door when he heard it open. His eyes narrowed down at the figure on a deep blue ankle length gown which had a side slit all the way to her thigh.

Her long Brown hair was styled in loose waves and her face held a little touch of makeup. However, her expression showed how much she was annoyed or displeased with something.

"There's a reason why we place doors at the entrance of a room. It's for privacy and also to knock on it-

"You think I'm here to listen to you lecture me about what doors are made for?...Well I have a news for you Kelvin"

Jessica barked. Her body shook in anger as she fondled for something in her purse. Once she had grasped it, she threw it down next to his feet.

"There! I hope you're happy now? I'm pregnant! With another man's baby!"

Kelvin exhaled deeply as he stared down at the strip next to his left foot. He didn't utter a word to her but just froze completely. This was a big mess up.

"Are you really going to stand there and say nothing? What the hell am I supposed to do with this baby?"

Kelvin slapped the file he was reading close. He spared her a single glance."Do whatever you want with it. That's not my child and so it's not acceptable to me" He uttered in a cold tone before walking past her.

The sound of the door closing behind her jolted her out of her dumbfounded state. Her hand fell on her tummy.

"Kelvin! Kelvin! Get back here!" Jessica yelled going after him.

When Kelvin got to the office, he walked around the large desk and took his seat. He picked up one of the many files piled up by the edge of the table. Immediately, the door opened after a quick knock.

"Boss. I've got everything that you requested for concerning the lady"

A young man strode into the room holding a file in his hand. Kelvin raised his head up to his assistant instantly and snapped the file he was reading close. He stretched out his arm to accept the file outstretched to him.

"Good. Use the door"

The young man flashed his boss an awkward smile before he left the office. Kelvin flipped through each pages reading it intently. Once he was done, he picked up his phone and dialed a particular number.

"I'm sending an address to you, you and your men should secure that environment and notify me when you see anything strange or anyone leaving"

****

Cameron stared down at the glass of orange juice he was holding. He inhaled and exhaled loudly as he contemplated what he was about to do. After he had suggested an abortion to Maya, she made a big issue out if it.

He failed to understand what was running through her mind. She didn't want to have another man's child and she also didn't want to get rid of it. Her uncertain choice has left him with no other option than to take matters into his own hands.

He opened the door to their bedroom and walked in. His eyes fell on her pale figure sitting on the bed. Cameron had lost count of how many hours he had spent pacifying her.

"You're right Maya. We have no right to take the life of another. I don't mind you giving birth to the child, he or she will get a mother and a father's love. I promise"

Maya turned her head to him slowly. He had a small smile on his lips as he approached the bed with the glass of juice.

"But you-

Cameron placed a finger on her lips cutting her words short. He shook his head gently. "Don't remind me of my selfish and cruel words. You deserve a chance to be a mother and I'm not going to deprive you of that. Here..have this"

He stretched the glass to her. "I made it especially for you. I guess I better start taking good care of you now"

A large beam appeared on Maya's lips. She wrapped her arm around Cameron with small sobs. Once she pulled away from him she accepted the glass from him.

"I don't know what to say. This is so tough for me too"

Cameron placed a hand on hers. "Don't worry about all that" He whispered softly as he guided the glass to her lips.

He sat there and made sure that she drank the content to the last sip. He collected the empty glass and left the room with the promise of coming back quickly with her breakfast.

Twenty minutes later..

Maya picked up her phone from the bed staring at the screen. It has been twenty minutes since Cameron left to get breakfast for her. The kitchen wasn't a twenty minutes distance either. So what was keeping him so long?

She pulled the duvet off her feet and stepped down from the bed. Suddenly, there was a strong pang of abdominal pain followed by the teeth gritting feeling of being stabbed with a knife.

A loud scream left her lips. Her breaths became irregular while her face was covered with her own sweat. She felt a liquid rolling down her legs and when she looked down, her face paled.

Blood!

Her scream intensified and yet no sign of Cameron anywhere. Maya couldn't take a step forward due to the pain she was going through at the moment. More blood flowed out of her until she felt the world spinning before her eyes.

Slowly, she started losing her consciousness. Her body dropped to the ground but before her head could hit the hard ground, a hand held her head up.

Maya heard her name being called out by an unfamiliar voice. She couldn't keep her eyes fully open but the image of the person picking her up from the floor was blurry. This wasn't Cameron, the feeling was different at the moment.

"Hang in there!"

That was the last thing she heard from whoever was holding her until she slipped into the darkness.

****

The sound of the beeping machines followed by the loud voices of the doctors and nurses present in the ICU made a certain figure clench his fist in anger.

"Maya!"

Kelvin turned on his heels the moment he heard the masculine voice behind him. His pupils dilated as he stared at the man before him. He recognized the man as Maya's husband.

Forty minutes ago, he received a call from one of the men that he had stationed outside of Cameron and Maya's home. Cameron was spotted rushing out of the building making a call where he was demanding for an ambulance.

If he hasn't made it there on time, who knew what might have happened.

His knuckles turned white as he approached Cameron who wasn't prepared for anything. Immediately, a punch was sent to his face knocking him over to the metal bench.

"How dare you hurt my baby?!"

He picked Cameron up from the bench and attempted to strike again but his men surrounded the two in seconds separating them from each other.

"I never did anything but if by any chance that baby dies, then I'll be grateful to the almighty!" Cameron retorted wiping blood dripping from his nose.

Maya left him with no other choice. There was absolutely no sane man in the world who would accept another man's kid as theirs. Not now not ever!

"If anything happens to her or the baby...you'll wish to be a dead man instead!"

One of the guards ran into the building with a phone placed against his ear. He stopped beside his boss with little pants leaving his lips.

"Boss. It's Miss Herring. She slipped and fell off the stairs which led to her bleeding. She's currently fighting for her life as we speak"

****

After a hour of being in the ICU, Maya was wheeled out of the ICU by three nurses and a doctor. She was on a blue hospital gown while an IV drip was connected to her wrist. She wasn't awake or conscious of her surroundings. She lay very still on the bed.

The moment Kelvin and Cameron spotted Maya on the wheeler, they both stood up to their feet.

"Maya-

"Don't!" Kelvin warned sternly. He quickened his pace and caught up with them.

"Is she alright? And how is the baby?"

The doctor stopped moving. He stopped on his tracks and turned to Kelvin who was panting heavily beside him.

"Luckily you brought her here on time. She lost way too much blood and she's currently weak."

"And what about the baby? Did she lose it?"

Kelvin and the doctor turned their heads to the person who just asked a question. Cameron cleared his throat.

"It's kind of a wonder how the foetus survived this. Both mother and child are okay"

No one noticed the Cameron's change of expression. His high hopes were dashed before his face. How could the baby survive?

"There are some forms that needs to be filled urgently"

"I'm her husband. I'll handle it" Cameron took a step forward to the doctor. He was suddenly yanked back to the spot he was standing on earlier.

"She's carrying my baby. I'll fill the forms"

The doctor was left confused by the two men words. He parted his lips to speak but couldn't find the ability to utter a single word.

"Okay. I'll take my leave now"

As soon as the doctor was out of their sights, Kelvin gripped Cameron by his collar. With a low deep voice he uttered. "Your role as her husband ends here! She's now my responsibility and you're the Cop's business" He gave a nod to his guards standing at a distance.

They were quick to rush forward to Cameron and held him down. He didn't back down without a brawl but he was still overpowered by the guards.

"Let me go! I need to see Maya!"
