Baby Daddy (Ongoing)

Part 16

"Good morning, Chief." Bittuji greeted Rk when he walked down to the cafe.

"Morning, bittuji" Rk said.

"You didn't sleep? You look tired chief?" Bittuji asked seeing Rk's red eyes caused due to sleeplessness.

"I slept late."

"But you went to bed earlier, late night right?"

"Yeah, but then my daughter nad I were playing till wee hours and now madam is sleeping." Rk said with a chuckle.

"I should have known that by seeing you walking without baby Ruhi in your arms."

"Where is Sofia? I couldn't see her" Rk said scanning the busy coffee shop. He couldn't point Sofia among the other waitress.

"She was here only..." Bittuji trailed off when he couldn't find her near the coffee machine.

"There she is!" Rk muttered when he found her coming out the washroom. He quickly rushed to her and stopped seeing her look so pale and sick.

"Hey? Are you okay?" Rk asked Sofia.

"Oui (yes), I'm fine." she faintly smiled at him.

"No. You don't look fine. What's wrong?" he asked in concern. Before she could reply a wave of nausea hit her and she raced back to the washroom and just on time made to the toilet and threw up her guts out. Rk followed her and helped her by holding her head and then rubbed her back gently to ease her. Once she was done puking, he let her clean her mouth before walking her out of the washroom and made her sit on the chair.

"Merci! (Thanks), I feel much better now. I will get back to work."

"No! You are not. I am taking you to the hospital."

"Non! Non! Non! (No), S'il vous plait (Please)... It's just um... morning sickness."

"Oh! But then... Hmm... when is your next check up?"

"Demain (Tomorrow)"

"Hmm... if you don't mind may I ask you something?"

"Oui bein sur! (Yes, of course)" Sofia said with a smile.

"Did you sort out things with your boyfriend?"

She looked down at her knotted fingers and went silent.

"Hey!" Rk lifted her chin up with his finger and saw tears in her eyes. "Stop crying." he felt uncomfortable now. He was never good at handling crying women.

"He washed his hands of me" she cried covering her face with her hands.

"I'm sorry but Sofia, please don't cry. It's not good for the baby." Rk said patting her head.

"Je suis desole. (I'm sorry)" she said amist her hiccups and wiped off her tears and gave him a small smile.

"Vous voulez de cafe? (you want coffee?)" Rk asked with a smile.

"Non" she shook her head not in the mood to drink coffee.

"Anything to eat?" he asked. She nodded her head excitedly rubbing her flat belly.

"What?"

"Chocolate sandwich?" she asked him with a grin.

"My daughter's favorite." Rk said with a grin.

"Guess my baby likes it too." Sofia said feeling happy.

"I will get it for you." Rk said ruffling Sofia's head affectionately and walked to the cafe kitchen to get her chocolate sandwich.
