Chapter 31

THE INSIDE of the office is air conditioned but my sweat is dripping in my forehead because of nervousness.

"Relax..." Peter hold my hand tight.

I nodded and waited for the Doctor to speak.

"So, this is your first pregnancy, right?" she asked politely.

"Y-yes," I murmured.

"Hmm, when was your last menstruation?

"I think, last month." My voice was slowing down.

"Alright, I'll perform an ultrasound for the baby. Please lay on the bed carefully," she said after standing up in her swivel chair.

I followed what she said. I couldn’t help but tremble as I held Peter’s hand tightly without leaving my side.

"Wow, look at your baby!" the doctor told me excitedly.

I glanced at the monitor where I could see my baby. Even though it was small I still could not stop the tears from falling in my eyes.

"Oh, surreal..." I sobbed.

"Yes, and you are seven weeks pregnant. Congratulations!"
