Chapter TWENTY FIVE

  Theme: A stranger’s baby

  (FLASHBACK TO TEN YEARS AGO)

  WINSLOW, ARIZONA.

  (SIX WEEKS LATER : SAINT PAUL HOSPITAL)

  The old looking doctor with an eyeglasses placed right on his nose looked up at Ivy. “You are pregnant.” He announced with a small smile on his face.

  Ivy eyes widened and her mouth went slack. Her heart beat accelerated at the doctor’s words. “Are ..are..you sure?” Ivy asked the doctor.

  It was really a silly question to ask when she knew very well that she was pregnant. It was already six weeks after spending one night with Ace, the intervening week she had have skimpy period at first meaning she was most emphatically pregnant.

  And she has gone back to check on Ace at the beach house. She had slept with a stranger and now she was pregnant. Where? or how would she find him just to let him know she was carrying his child. The past few days her body had felt different and her period had failed to finally appear.
