Chapter 286 Ready to leave

"We were going to tell you as soon as you were back from your trip."

Helen left the country the very next day after she threw a welcome party for Rachael. She heard about Kate's pregnancy from the chauffeur who came to pick her up at the airport earlier.

"A message would have been appreciated." Helen wasn't disappointed, she was happy for her son and Kate. "What are your plans now? When are you leaving?"

When Daniel did not say anything, she added, "I want you and Kate to leave the country immediately." She then looked at Andrew. "Take Rachael too."

"We were planning to leave after sister Liza's—"

"Things aren't safe here. We already have enough on our plates, two pregnant women will not make things easier for us."

"Two pregnant women?" Owen frowned and looked at Andrew. "Is Rachael pregnant?"

"I don't know, is she?" Andrew looked at Daniel suspiciously whose face had turned pale.

"I—"

"I heard it from the chauffeur who came to pick me at the airport," Helen interrupted Daniel who was clearly out of words.

"Dude, she is pregnant and you didn't tell me?" Owen was pissed. "I am going to an uncle and you did not tell me."

"I would have told you if I knew anything about it." Andrew was so confused. If Rachael was really pregnant, why didn't she tell him? Shouldn't he be the first one to know if his wife was pregnant?

"Are you sure you heard him right?" Andrew suspiciously questioned Helen.

"Unless there is another Rachael in this house, I am one hundred right." Helen looked at Daniel and Andrew simultaneously. "I want you both to leave the country at the earliest with your wife's."

"Take Elsa too," She instructed Owen.

"Why are you chasing us all out?" Owen was very sure Helen was up to something.

"As I said before things are getting a little tensed here so—"

"We know how things are here mom," Daniel interrupted her. "We have it under control."

"I know but—"

"Unless you know something which you are unwilling to share with us." Andrew got up and started walking out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Helen inquired. She wasn't done talking yet.

"I need to look for my wife." He had to ask Rachael what was really going on. If she was indeed pregnant, why didn't she tell him?

…..

[Andrew's Room]

"Why didn't you tell him?" Elsa inquired.

Rachael shrugged her shoulders in response. "The time wasn't right." He was asleep when she came back to the room last night. She wanted to talk to him in the morning but she ended up waking up late.

"Rach, do you think Andrew will…you know..not be happy?" Kate had a feeling that Rachael was scared.

When she did not say anything, Elsa remarked, "Trust me, that is the last thing you have to worry about. Andrew will be thrilled."

"I know but—" Rachael sighed. "We had a plan, you know. We were going to have babies but not yet." She placed her hand on her belly. "This is very unexpected. I guess, I am taking some time to convince myself that everything is going to be okay.."

Kate placed her hand on Rachael's shoulder to comfort her. "It is going to be okay."

"I cannot believe you both are going to be pregnant together," Elsa exclaimed. "This is so exciting and—" She stopped midway when she saw someone standing by the door.

When Rachael and Kate followed her gaze, they widened their eyes in shock.

Rachael gulped in nervousness when she saw Andrew standing by the door with his arms crossed in his chest. He was looking at her with his eyes scrunched.

"We should go." Kate got up and Elsa followed her suit.

After they left, Rachael quickly got up and approached him. "When did you come?"

He ignored her question. "I don't like this, Rach. Why don't you tell me whether you are pregnant or not?" He wanted a straight answer.

There was no doubt he was pissed and he would continue to be mad irrespective of her answer.

If she was indeed pregnant, he would be mad at her for hiding such a big thing from him.

If she wasn't, he would still be mad. Not at her, but at himself for not trying hard enough to make her pregnant.

After seeing the 'Proud Would be Daddy' look on Daniel's face, he was a little jealous even though he was very happy for them.

When Rachael did not say anything, Andrew started walking towards her. "Rach, are you pregnant?"

"Maybe—" She answered. "I mean, I took a test yesterday and—"

"And?"

"It was positive." Rachael carefully examined his expression. She expected a shocked expression but to her surprise, Andrew calmly walked towards their wardrobe and pulled out their suitcase.

"What are you—" Before she could complete her sentence, he started taking out their clothes from the wardrobe and placed it inside the suitcase.

"Andrew, what are you doing?" She couldn't understand why he was packing their bags. Weren't they leaving the country after his mom's anniversary?

Without saying anything, he placed his hand on her shoulder and forced her to sit on the bed. "Give me five minutes, I'll be done and then we will leave."

Before Rachael could say anything, he took out his phone and called someone.

"Get the plane and car ready, we are leaving soon." After giving other necessary instructions, he hung up the call and resumed packing.

"Andrew, we can't leave." How could they just pack their things and leave without informing anyone?

What about Elsa, Kate, Daniel and Owen? They would just leave them behind and leave the country by themselves?

"We can and we will." There was no way he would keep Rachael in the country especially after learning about her pregnancy.

He was already reluctant to keep her in his hometown but he some

how compromised and agreed to stay till his mom's anniversary.

But now things were different.
