A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy)

"Congratulations!" Jay quickly said, worried that his wife would blurt something astounding again.

The others promptly congratulated John and Cordy as well, while Bob could not help teasing, "Impressive, Johnny-it's been a while, but you still got it! Sam, on the other hand, hasn't had much luck even after all these years. I'm starting to wonder if there are issues...'

"Shut your trap!" Sam huffed. "I'm fit as a fiddle!"

"Really?" Bob raised a brow in contempt.

"Shut it!" Sam snorted, speechless. "You're one to talk, still single after all these years! I at least have a wife, while you have nothing!"

"What?!" Bob was dumbstruck.

"You're the worst off among us four," Sam added.

Bob could have a stroke right then. "Shut up and drink! I won't rest until you're drunk!"

"We don't know who'd be the last one standing!"

The others ignore the two men, who were in their thirties but as petty as children.

They were used to it anyway.

As Zoe calmed down as well, she could not help asking Cordy softly, "So, Johnny wasn't using protection?"

"What?" Cordy was left dumbstruck.

"I mean, he's not planning to have children so soon, is he? There's no way he'd want to lose his perks so soon," Zoe pointed out.

It was why Zoe did not think of the possibility that Cordy was pregnant, since she knew John enough that he would want to make it last as long as he could. Just a couple of months would certainly be a huge loss to the man!

Cordy blushed again.

That was why she was puzzled during their honeymoon-John would use protection everytime, no matter how much he wanted otherwise.

But now that they were legitimately married, there was no issue with having children. Cordy herself had asked Richard too, and the boy was supportive, even saying he was fine with either a brother or a sister. As such, she had no idea what the devil John was up to, and she eventually gave in to her curiosity and asked.

Naturally, John admitted that he wanted to enjoy it as long as it lasted, just as Zoe had put it.

Cordy, however, had no idea when John would have enough, and so did something indescribable which led to her pregnancy.

"Wait, did you...?!" Zoe teased.

"Stop it. Anyway, this is how it is now," Cordy said, blushing.

Zoe had an idea since there were things between spouses one should avoid mentioning. "So, how are you feeling? Is your morning sickness terrible?"

"Not really," Cordy replied. "I'd feel a little nauseated when I rinse my mouth in the mornings, but aside from that, it's nothing serious-I can eat and drink as appropriate. It's no different from when I had Dicky, though that was a while ago and I don't remember much."
