Pregnancy news

Sara POV

"What have you just said?" I gave him a startled look.

"Sara, I am sorry; please don't be angry. I'm not sure how or when, but trust me—it's not a mistake on my part." He nervously twiddles his fingers.

"Tell me what you just said, Aaron." I asked him to repeat it.

"You're expecting a child, Sara." He showed me the test results.

"Is it true?" I raised my brow at him.

"Yes." He gave a nod.

"Thank you, God; I knew it; you can not stay away from me for a long time. She is coming, Aaron, just like she promised us before she passed away." I hugged him happily. He was surprised by my response when he learned I was pregnant.

The void she left in my life was gnawing at me, so I pleaded to God day and night to get Jerry back. She took my death, so I drowned in guilt every day. Since her passing, I've spent the past few months locked up in my room, feeling completely cut off from everything. I spent my hours looking at the oak trees.

I was amazed at this tree's rapid growth in just a few years. It began as a little seed and grew over time into a large tree. It now serves as a haven for numerous species. The ottoman's leaves gracefully separate from its branches. The rain accentuates the vibrant hues of the young leaves.

This oak tree quietly bears everything while standing steadily. The outside world and weather can not disturb its inner tranquility. I practice maintaining my composure in all circumstances every day. However, Jerry's passing had such a profound effect on me that, despite my desire, I could not begin my life normally.

I kept asking myself if her mistake was sufficient that we could not forgive her, even when she realized it and asked for forgiveness. I was so affected by whatever Uncle Joe did to me that I wouldn't let Aaron near me. I ceased to be interested in anything, including writing, and the only thing that brought me tranquility was spending hours gazing at an oak tree.

Every day, simply gazing at the oak tree for hours on end taught me numerous lessons. Others believed that I had a mental illness, but in reality, I am finding it difficult to cope with Jerry's absence from my life. She was my loyal friend. I quickly developed a close bond with her, and for that reason, I find it impossible to live without her.

"Sara, are you alright?" He observed my happiness and looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes, I am thrilled to have received the news of my pregnancy." I got up from the chair and opened my cupboard to dress beautifully since I was celebrating this beautiful news by going out for a party.

"However, you do not wish to become a mother, do you?" He frowned at me.

"Certainly, I am not in favor of becoming pregnant prematurely; however, I am now content with the situation." I looked at my reflection in the mirror and checked my baby bump.

"Don't you want to abort this child?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I abort this child?" I looked at him with anger.

How could he ask me to abort my child?

"But with your unstable mental state, how are you going to manage your pregnancy?"

"Do you think I lost my senses? I am perfectly fine; I was just trying to heal all my wounds while sitting in isolation. My mental health is excellent. I feel more mentally stable after this isolation. Now, just get dressed; don't waste time on this. We are going to have dinner outside." I pushed him towards his room.

I'm ecstatic to have learned of my pregnancy. I was so lost in my inner world that I completely forgot to track my period's date. I was aware of my body's weak and dizzy sensation, but I ignored it. I reasoned that my body was getting weaker as a result of my inner trauma coming to the surface. I vomited many times, but I didn't pay much attention to that either, but my mother-in-law offered me more fruits and juices in this period, so I think she is already aware of my pregnancy.

"Sara, why did you come downstairs? Do you need anything?" When she found me in the kitchen, she questioned me in surprise.

"I'm pregnant, mom." I gave her a joyful hug.

"Indeed, I am aware of this news." She gave a startled nod.

"Let's go outside to enjoy ourselves. Why are you cooking food today?" I gestured for her to step outside the kitchen.

"However, Aaron informed me that you were not interested in having a child at this time." She looked at me in confusion.

"Indeed, I want to avoid becoming a mother too soon, but I also don't want to abort this child." I placed my hand on my stomach.

"But what about your dreams? How will you manage all things on your own?" Aaron's dad questioned me.

"I will do everything with your support, but I can not abort this child since this child is so important to me. Since I know this child is Jerry, who is reborn from my womb, how can I abort it? I don't want to be the cause of her death again, as I have already been responsible for it once."

The news of my pregnancy sparked a new fire in my life. I've now started working on all of my unfinished business. Throughout my pregnancy, Aaron and his family provided me with excellent care. His self-control during my pregnancy astounded me. He didn't ask me to have sex with him during my pregnancy.

I doubted that he had an extramarital affair in his office to quench his thirst, but I was surprised to learn that he had stopped hiring young women in his company, preferring to work with middle-aged women and the majority of the male staff. I never thought he could change so much for me.

Seeing him turn into a complete family man filled my heart with pride. I count every day left until my delivery date with excitement since I can't wait to meet Jenny again as my newborn.

Finally, my delivery date came, and I gave birth to a small female. Everyone was thrilled to see our little angel.

"Sara, what should her name be?" He kissed his little angel and questioned me.

"Jerry." I hugged my little angel and kissed her forehead.
