The Whispering Fetus

I was frightened by what Ava said, but I pretended to adjust my position out of discomfort before falling asleep to her rambles.

After that, I had not heard any movements from her for a long time. I thought she had given up on her evil plans.

However, when it was close to the due date, I suddenly started to feel a little uneasy.

Michael had always been with me, encouraging and comforting me. I initially thought that I would be able to give birth to my children in peace, but Ava was not having it.

One day, when Michael came home from work, she started rambling again.

"Daddy! Mommy was hugging another man today! I saw it!"

Michael was just about to hug me when he suddenly took a step back. He pointed at me angrily, and the veins on his forehead popped up.

"W-What did you do today? Did you see a man?"

My heart sank. Ava was trying to drive us apart. She wanted to destroy my reputation and marriage, forcing me into desperation.

I was wrong from the beginning. Ava did not want luck. She just wanted Michael for herself.

"Michael, I spent the whole day watching TV on the couch, then I took a nap. Why?"

"Mommy's lying! I heard her talking to Mr. Walton next door! She said that the children in her were his! Daddy, I only want you as my Daddy!"

Ava's screams and sobs pierced through my mind. I was sure that Michael had heard her as well.

How could she accuse me like that?

I was so frightened by what she said that my face lost all its color, yet to Michael, it was an admission to my affair.

"Wendy, you're a monster! How could you let me raise someone else's children?! You shameless woman!"

"Michael, I didn't do…"

Before I could say anything, Michael shoved me angrily. I fell to the ground.

I instantly felt something hot trickling down my leg. Then, I clutched my belly.

"The children! My children…"

Michael glared at me, but when he saw the pool of red below me, he instantly froze. Then, he panicked and frantically called for the ambulance.

While waiting for the ambulance, Ava still continued with her pleas.

"Daddy, don't abandon me. I'm your daughter. I'll be good. Mommy only likes Bella. She doesn't like me."

I could see that with every sentence that Ava said, Michael's gaze turned icier by the moment.

I shut my eyes. Tears and sweat mixed on my face. I no longer wanted to explain myself.

I knew that I needed to be calm in labor. I was going to bring the two children into this world.

Especially that evil monster. I wanted to see her leave my body, then only could I begin my revenge.

The ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital, sending me straight to the delivery room.

Michael's push had made me go into labor.

I screamed with all my might in labor. The doctor kept encouraging me to push. It was so painful that my vision had gone blurry.

Right at that moment, Ava's voice pierced through my mind once more. She exclaimed with contempt, "Push, you idiot! Use your remaining worth to give birth to me! Once I'm together with Daddy, your good days are over!"

I was furious. It instantly gave me the strength to push once more. With the cheering of the doctor, I finally gave birth to the monster.

I continued adjusting my breathing, and soon after, Bella was born as well.

"Your daughters are healthy."

The nurses cleaned the babies up and brought them to me.

At that very moment, I lay exhausted on the delivery bed, while Michael, who had just rushed to the doorway of the delivery room, his face filled with the joy and complicated emotions of a new father, saw it too.

Ava flashed a fleeting, sinister smile.

I looked shocked, staring at her.

Michael seemed to have been struck by thunder. He took a step back, pointing at Ava with a trembling hand. His face was as pale as a sheet.

"S-She just smiled…"
