Can Love Happens Twice

Who Are You Then?

Jo's POV 

"You must be hungry, let's have lunch" Henry took me to dining table

I got all Henry's favorite food cooked. Strangely I'm craving the food Henry likes. That made me miss him more

He served food in my plate and then served in his. I felt so good eating with him after long time. He went to fresh up. He came after long flight from Australia, didn't even get time to relax. I feel bad for Henry, he has to go through so much, suffered alone.

"I will go to hospital, Drew might be awake" he said after coming downstairs 

"Let's talk first" I said

"Anything but disclosing our marriage" he said 

"At least hear me please" I pleaded

He nodded

I didn't want to discuss about my insecurities but I have no choice now

"I don't even know how to tell you, I myself don't know how I feel. I'm very happy that Drew is there. Since the time you went to Australia I was thinking about Drew. I wished he is alive and be with us. My wish came true.

It would have been ok to hide our marriage from Drew if I'm not pregnant. My baby bump is so big now, there is no way I can hide. What would I tell him about baby?" I asked

"Truth" he said looking painfully 

"What do you mean by truth" i shouted. I couldn't control my anger

He remained silent

"Tell me what truth?" I said holding his shirt. He was silent looking at the floor

"You want me to tell Drew that this is his baby? Who are you then?" I asked

"I'm..." he didn't even tell that he is my baby's father

I took his hand and placed on my belly.

"Tell me who are you?"

Baby kicked

"She is mine" he said in tears hugging me

I understand his feelings. He would be having more insecurities than me. Jason and many people thought Me and Drew were in love. I married Henry because of the situation. I never expressed my love to Henry. Drew is biologically father.

"We will go together to hospital and tell Drew everything" I said

""No, Doctor said Drew's mind is very fragile now, can't take any kind of stress. Even Judson thinks so. We will tell after few months" Henry said 

"Why would he feel stressful  about our marriage? Be reasonable" I tried to reason

"This morning..." I didn't let him finish

"I thought it was you" i said 

"I heard what Drew said, he loves you Jo" he said

"He doesn't, I know. Even I was confused. He was sedated, maybe hallucinating. Please understand it would complicate everything" I pleaded 

"Remember your promise on our first night, I want you to not disclose about our marriage to Drew under any circumstances. I will tell myself when I think he is ok" he said

I looked at him in disbelief, he is using that promise for this?

"I'm hundred percent sure Drew doesn't love me. What would you do if he develops bond with our baby? It would hurt him more  to know the truth later. For him he is the father. I can't bear the thought Henry, please understand" I explained 

"No Jo, I believe he can't take the truth now. We will see what we can do later. I lost all my family, can't loose Drew. Please Jo, only you could help me. Judson told how you brought Drew out of alcohol addiction and also changed him. 

He is more traumatized now. Please help him. I can't bear if he goes into depression knowing about our marriage.

Right now he is physically also too weak. He is malnourished. Can you imagine he ate one meal every three days because they were mixing drugs in food?" He said

My heart ached hearing that. Drew is foodie, he loves and enjoys different cuisines. He eats only the best. How did he survive? That explains his weak body.

"Let him come out of the trauma, we can tell later" he pleaded

I nodded not knowing what to say

"I will have my things moved into other room" he said

He wouldn't stay in our room? Of course not! How can he when Drew doesn't know we are married.

"Let's go to hospital" he said

I'm happy to meet Drew but I have no idea what to tell about my baby.
