Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 339 - Epilogue (Part I)



Chapter 339 - Epilogue (Part I)

Katherine hung up the phone yet again. Lily rolled her eyes. "Was that Cage? I swear if he calls one more time..." she trailed off in frustration. "This man just cannot stop checking on you."

Katherine rolled her eyes. Cage was a tad bit overprotective the past few days but she was enjoying it thoroughly. He had been attentive since the beginning but since the moment he found out that they were pregnant, he'd become something of a worrywart. Not one person on the planet was as spoiled as her.

"Cage is overprotective? Have you considered yourself? Jared is crying at home because you won't leave my side. You even shortened your trips to the bathroom in case I need something. And Anna, she has stopped by more times to see me than she has in the past few years of our marriage." On cue, the doorbell rang. "I wonder if that is the delivery. Angelina has been sending me every piece of clothing and toy she can find for the baby. She has sent a toy train, what newborn plays with a toy train?" Katherine's dad snorted as he went to answer the phone.

"Even Giselle has been texting from her movie set to know if I have gone into labor. I am surrounded by overprotective people." Katherine shifted and tried to get more comfortable but these last few months, that seemed to be an impossible task. Little Miss Cavanaugh was the stubbornest kid on the planet.

"Don't blame me. I am trying to keep these crazy people in check so that you're not too stressed. They want to haul you to the hospital every time the kid moves inside you." She glanced at Katherine's stomach.

Katherine smirked as she thought about the bullshit Lily was spouting. The woman was just as excited to have a nephew. "Wait until it's your turn. I will remind you how you treated me," she threatened.

Lily looked wistful for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't have time, okay? And Jared hasn't proposed yet." She pouted.

"Well, you could be the one who proposes," Katherine suggested. "You live together. If you want to put a ring on it, do it."

Lily shook her head. "I'll spoil your spawn for now."

Anna hopped into the room wearing one of her recital clothes. "Katherine, I found the cutest onesie." She held up a white yellow onesie that had 'Grandma's Favorite' written on it.

"It's perfect," I said, imagining Anna holding her daughter. It made her heart clench. She was getting anxious to see her baby but she also wanted to see the baby with her family. Cage was beyond impatient to meet his daughter and hold her. He was pumped to be a dad.

Katherine had no doubt that he would be an excellent one.

It seemed that everyone was shopping at the same time. They would sit beside her and keep shopping online. The baby had more clothes than Katherine and Cage combined and the nursery was pretty much looking like a storeroom with the number of toys everyone had dropped.

Fortunately, only her family and friends were obsessed with the pregnancy. It had been a well-kept secret from Cage and her fans. She had barely left the house since she started to show and while there was speculation that they had broken up or she was pregnant. No one was sure what had actually happened. She was happy with that.

As long as she only filmed her face, no one would find out.

It had been collectively decided that the news of the birth would be given exclusively to GC, yet again. Other than that, no pictures or stories would be allowed to spread. Their baby girl would be kept protected from the world until she was of age and could decide for herself what she wanted.

At how good Miss Cavanaugh kicked, she was expected to be a soccer player. If her father was any evidence, she would be someone full of excitement. Nothing beat his reaction to the news of her pregnancy.

They had been married a couple of years and Cage was taking lesser projects to enjoy their time together. Just as he booked his year back to back, she found out she was pregnant. The break months were spent mostly in bed going over their favorite activity... s.e.x. She had been on birth control but it clashed with her stomach flu medication and well... it seemed she had gotten pregnant. She actually thought the flu was back when she started feeling nauseous again.

After a couple of days of this and she finally took the test. She threw the positive test in the dustbin and went about her day trying to plan the big reveal. All was vain because Cage wanted to go to the bathroom as she cooked.

"Katherine?" he shouted.

The way he was shouting scared the hell out of her. She imagined that he had fallen in the shower or hurt himself so she rushed up the stairs only to find Cage running towards her n.a.k.e.d.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Not that anything was wrong if her husband ran towards her n.a.k.e.d. That was good news. Just that she really wanted to cook a nice meal and tell him she was pregnant.

"We're having a baby?" She felt her heart starting to beat again. Of course, he had run out of the shower the moment he saw it. Katherine frowned because she had wanted to see his expression when she revealed the news to him, but if this was how it was panning out, she would take it.

She looked at the awe on his face and felt a smile spread across her face. Though unplanned, she was really happy. In her heart, she wanted their baby.

"I know it's sudden but..." she could say no more.

"I don't care... I don't care. We'll go to the hospital to confirm and get all the tests done. Then I'll call Stephen and ask him to cancel all my movies for the next year and a half." He jumped about, plotting and planning without her input.

"Okay, stop overthinking!" she pressed, laying a hand on his shoulder. "We'll find out soon. I won't be traveling with you but you can't break contracts."

"Well, I'm rich. I can break contracts and pay the fee," he claimed. He was looking around like their unborn baby would pop out from somewhere.

She laughed. "Raising a baby takes a lot of money, if you give it all away for breaking your contracts, what are we supposed to do?" She brushed her fingers over his hair to calm him down.

As the memory ended, Katherine found Lily stare at her.

"What?" she asked.

"You're thinking about s.e.x with Cage, aren't you? I know that look on your face." Katherine glared at Lily. This woman really has no filter.

"I was just thinking about when Cage found out."

"Don't tell me there was congratulatory s.e.x involved," Lily snorted. Well, there was, but Katherine wouldn't admit to it.

"Okay. I don't need to know about my son's personal life." Anna made a show of covering her ears. "I'm happy that my son's libido has resulted in me getting a granddaughter, but I don't want to know."

Katherine's cheeks glowed bright red as she glanced at Anna. She laughed and leaned in to touch my stomach.

"I must warn you, though. Cavanaugh's are stubborn and intelligent. Cage was a handful when he was young. You try raising a son like him and I guarantee you will get grey hairs prematurely." Katherine cracked up and everyone joined her. It was until she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. The bedding under her wetted and she looked down.

"I think my water just broke," she murmured. There was a moment of silence and then everyone was up and moving about.

Henrick became the voice of reason. "Anna, you're driving. Katherine's bag is in the car already, so you take it out of the garage. Lily, help her change into something comfortable. Luna and Jareth, you guys call Cage and other important people and tell them we are heading to the hospital."

Henrick had the phone pressed to his ear and he was explaining that they were coming over shortly. Katherine stared.

"I've spoken to your doctor. They have arranged for a private room for you. The hospital staff will be waiting at the back entrance for us. Tell me when you have another contraction, I'll be timing it." Somehow, Henrick was timing everything and still giving orders. That was Henrick for you.

Within a few minutes, everything was set.

Katherine's mom sat on one side while her dad on the other. "Cage and Stephen are on the way," her mom told her, holding her hand as another contraction hit.

Katherine belatedly realized that giving birth was even less pleasant than the pregnancy.
