Chapter One Hundred and Fifty - Good News?

Hugging myself suddenly afraid!

Am I ready for this change?

I still have no peace of mind where my parents are concerned and if my father is alive, I need to find him and have my mother's murderer pay for her crimes.

I have so much to do before I can commit to a starting a family, nothing and no one must stand between me and getting justice for mom. Nothing!

Adian looked just as scared as me that is why it was so easy to get him to visit his uncle.

Smiling confidently, "God, please let the results, return with a negative" I whispered looking toward the doorway for either the doctor or Adian to return.

The doctor graced me with his presence first and I felt confident that I am not pregnant, as I wait for him to lift his eyes from the clipboard in his hand, approaching my bed, with an ear to ear grin.

F**k!

Looking around, "your husband left?" He asked with a frown.

I shook my head, "his uncle is in another room, he had to check him." I explained and he nods slowly, appearing thoughtful.

"Uh, so would you like to wait for him to return for the results or do you want me to give it to you?" He asks and I sigh in annoyance.

"I am your patience, you can tell me" I snapped at him. What the hell? I am the patient and he wants to wait for Adain? Darn.

The doctor seen taken aback at my abrupt response,

"I'm sorry" I apologize quickly, "it's been a long day and I am still hungry." Although that is not the reason for me getting annoyed.

Lifting a page from the clip board, "I am sorry and I won't keep you too long." He smiled and I wanted to slap that smile straight out of his face.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Knight, you're pregnant." He says and I cannot pretend to be happy, because I just froze in shock.

God, no! Not yet! Maybe it's a mistake!

"Are you sure?" I asked. feeling like a fool and my response has also shocked the doctor.

Without waiting for his answer, "I can't have wine again" I mutter to myself and I see a small smile on the doctor's face and he shakes his head.

Realizing I am not sounding excited about this news, "I still have to do an ultrasound to see how far along you are, but I can at least say you are in the very early stages. Would you like to get it done now or you want to wait for your husband?" He asks and I think I should wait for Adian.

"I'll make an appointment and return with my husband, when his uncle is out of danger," I explained and the doctor raised an eyebrow, "he had a heart attack a few hours ago" and a look of sympathy replaces his questioning expression.

"Okay," he agrees, and starting writing on the paper. "You can collect your next appointment date from the front desk." He smiles again and I am suddenly afraid, again.

What if I am a bad mother?

"I'm afraid" I admitted softly and the doctor looked up from his scribbling.

With a soft expression, "most first time mothers are but you seem to have a strong support system in your husband, right?" He asks and I nod with small smile.

Why would he want to know if my husband is supportive?

"He's the best!" I admitted, gathering my handbag to climb of the bed.

The doctor was at my side in an instance and he helped me off the bed, but his hand lingered on my arm and I try to gently brush him off.

Looking up into his green eyes, and dirty blond facial hair that's covering parts of his mouth.

Eww! "Thank you!" I moved away but he still remained close.

Taking a card from his pocket, "this is my call card," he said, "call me day or night if there are any questions or even if you need to talk" he continues and the first thing that comes to my mind as I took the card is that I am definitely changing doctors.

"Thank you" I said moving further away conscious that his eyes are boring holes in my back.

The door opened and Adian walked in.

Running up to him, I flung myself into this arm that opens as I ran toward him, not with a smile but with fear which he read, instantly, hugging me.

"You okay?" He ask and looks around. "Where's Gerard?" And I looked and realized that Gerard went to get me a juice from the hospital canteen and hasn't return yet.

"I sent him for a drink." I responded looking up at him and I know that he's upset that I am here alone but I am the one who sent Gerard out, because I am hungry and thirsty. I can't have him blaming Gerard for not being here. "I'm sorry, it was my call" I said but his expression hasn't change, his annoyance clearly evident as he stares down at me, with his arms still wrapped around me.

"I'm pregnant" I said , hoping to appease him. I watch as his eyes soften and a smile slowly creeps unto his face, until it's an ear to ear grin.

Chuckling, "really?" he whispers and I nod, forcing a smile and ashamed because he has accepted the news so easily and I am still struggling with it.

Pulling me back in a tight hug, he lifts me off the ground and spun around, "yes, yes, yes" he chants, as I felt giddy.

Putting me gently back down, "thank you" he kisses me, "thank you so much" he repeated and for the first time since the doctor told me I'm pregnant, I smile.

Chuckling, as I remember a biology session in high school, "no, thank you" I chuckle, tiptoeing to kiss him.
