Chapter one - A positive is not always good news.

Samantha"Sam, are you there?" Charlie knocked on the bathroom door of the apartment we shared.My only wish was to pretend it didn't exist until it became real. I sank a little deeper into the empty tub, seeking some protection from reality."Sam, you know if we're late we're going to have to put up with Elle picking on us!" his tapping became insistent "come on, it's only two apresentacions today.""The door is open," I mumbled, opening the third chocolate bar that would probably turn me into a pig.Well, I would have the size of one sooner or later anyway.Charlie opened the door, wide-eyed to find me lying in the empty bathtub, surrounded by boxes of assorted treats that my payment for last night's show had managed to buy."What the hell is that?"She cautiously approached the tub as I nibbled listlessly on the chocolate bar. My friend bent down, picking up the reason for my despair in the last few hours from the floor.Four pregnancy tests, all positive.“My life is over.” I sni...

Chapter 02 - first ultrasound
Samantha"Are you anxious?" Elle asked as she sat next to me in the clinic's waiting room."Of course she's anxious, I don't know how she managed to wait a week for this appointment." Charlie rolled her eyes. “I would have already knocked on every available doctor in Vegas until I found one.”I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. I was nervous about what awaited me behind the closed door, but I didn't want to show it. I could handle a little anxiety.“Actually, I've spent the last week getting used to the idea” I shrugged “I guess I needed that time."And how is it going?" “Elle was interested.I shifted uncomfortably in the chair, thinking about my answer.“Well, I have to adapt. At first I was lost and not knowing what to do” I admitted it “but now, I know I have to keep going, I just don't know how to tell Theon.”"Haven't you called him yet?" Charlie watched me."I thought it best to wait for the appointment." I shrugged."Miss Hurst, the Doctor is ready for you," the rece

Chapter 03 - One phone call can change your life
TheonI walked out of my sister's restaurant watching the sun sinking behind the snowy peaks that surrounded Aspen. My family and I settled in the city twelve years ago when we came from Greece at the invitation of my father's aunt, Nia Evangelous, who owned a Hotel and ski resort on the outskirts of Aspen. Since then, my parents had been opening a network of shops there.I managed the snow sports stores, while Callie managed the restaurant with my mom. Lara had returned from Portland a few months ago when she graduated from college, and to our surprise, she had a daughter in her arms.This was a big shock for everyone, especially as we didn't know anything about the child's father. Anyway, we did our best to support her in raising that little girl, we would never leave her alone. I can't even imagine what I would do if I were in the same situation as her.And Evangeline, who was about to graduate, came back regularly to visit, often bringing a few friends along to enjoy all that Aspe

Chapter 04 - Part of a plan
TheonA series of notifications arrived on my cell phone. Samantha had sent me a few messages. I opened them up, there were some pictures of a blood test on Samantha M. Hurst's name, and an ultrasound. It was already possible to see a human form there, despite being small and misshapen, the little being already had arms, legs and a head.My child.I locked the phone's screen and put it in my pocket before hurrying home. I needed to resolve this at once.I need to talk to Samantha. Maybe I should take advantage of Harper's trip to Denver tomorrow.Harper... What will she think about this story? God, what a mess!I walked into the house and went to the bathroom, a good shower would help me clear my head. As soon as I got out of the shower, I had managed to come up with an acceptable plan, I threw myself on the bed, taking out my cell phone to call my girlfriend."Hi Honey, did you forget something?"“Harper, hi… I got a problem to take care of over the weekend, so I have to travel tomor

Chapter 05 - some things can't be solved with a phone call
SamanthaI heard the front door open before Charlie turned on the light, finding me shrunken on the couch."Sam, you're still awake! " she exclaimed with concern.I took my phone, noting it was after 2:00 in the morning. I lay here waiting for Theon to return the call and I didn't even notice the passage of time."I think I got some sleep," I sat down."What happened? Why are you here?”"I called him ," I explained, feeling my face warm." Oh, I understand," she sat next to me.I've been running away from that connection ever since I found out about the pregnancy. The girls were trying to convince me to call Theon since my appointment last week, but I always lost my nerve at the last moment, and today, reviewing the ultrasound photos, I decided to try.“How did he react? " she held my hand."The way you expected, I think," I shrugged, looked away," first he thought I was joking, then he said he needed some time, and he'd call me later, and he didn't call me anymore."Do you think tha

Chapter 06 - Not so pleasant surprises
SamanthaWe both ate in silence for a few minutes, and little by little I became better. He was there with me after all. That's a good sign, right? I'm not alone."I got the pictures you sent yesterday, are you already doing prenatal care? " Theon broke his silence after a few minutes, watching me with fun as I alternated between fish and meat."Yes, I started last week, Elle got an emergency appointment with her doctor—I forced myself to swallow what was in my mouth."And how was everything? — he seemed interested."I'm nine weeks now, she gave me some vitamins and I did other tests. It's okay, it's okay."And when are you born? " he asked."In early March," I recounted, siluting the glass of juice, the same month as my birthday."Really? Do you have your birthday in March? " he smiled.That question affected me, I don't know anything about the man I'm going to have a child with!"God, we know nothing about each other," I moaned disgusted.Theon seemed bland with that comment."I don

Chapter 07 - The Real life is not simple
Theon A relief came over me as I heard Sam's answer, it gave me a light at the end of the whole situation. It wouldn't be easy, but we could make it work. For the sake of that child, we would make it work. " Thank you so much," I sighed, hugging her. " It was nothing," she assured me, looking a little embarrassed. " Come on, you better get out of this sun," I stood up, helping her out. Samantha smiled, walking beside me with a calmer expression. I let my mind wander for a moment to the day before, when I didn't know everything that awaited me. I had been happy with Harper, And now I don't even know what awaits me from this point on. Will she take it well? How can I tell her something like this? And my family, what will they think of all this? " Well, how will all this work out? " Samantha's voice brought me back from my reverie, as we approached her apartment. " What do you mean?” " What is your city like? When can I move, where will I live? " she explained. " Ahh yes," I fr

Chapter 08 - Time to be honest
Theon Gregor and I left Vegas in the morning, but it was almost lunchtime when we arrived in Aspen. I dropped him off at his house before heading back to mine, letting Harper know that I had arrived before I got into the shower. My only desire at that moment was to sleep for the rest of the afternoon, but I was aware that if I delayed my conversation with my girlfriend any longer, I would lose the courage to tell her what I had discovered. As soon as I was out of the shower, I went to the kitchen, rummaging through the fridge for something for lunch while planning to visit Harper soon after. The sound of the front door being unlocked caught my attention, I closed the fridge and walked to the living room, almost bumping into Harper on the way. " Theon! Hi," she smiled as she saw me. She was wearing a blue plaid shirt and a scarf around her neck. Her hair was tied up simply, but she still managed to look beautiful with that easy smile on her lips. A smile that I would be taking off s

Chapter 09 - Big news
Theon I left the house determined to get that matter over with. My mother's house was not too far away, so I arrived within ten minutes. The first thing I heard as I passed through the front door was the sound of the loud crying of Daphne, Lara's daughter. Right away Evangeline, my younger sister, came towards me with an exasperated expression on her face. " For the sake of your sanity, you better get out of here now," she raised her voice, "this girl hasn't stopped yelling for at least an hour!” I didn't have time to answer her, she simply ran towards the stairs, disappearing upstairs, while my niece's screams, if possible, became even louder. " She's hungry! " my mother's voice sounded muffled from the living room. " I told you, it's not time," my sister whined, "she just had a feed!” I walked over to where they were standing, watching my sister standing near the large glass door that led to the back yard, cradling her daughter in an attempt to somehow comfort her. My mother s

Chapter 10 - Big News - II
" You've got us curious," Lara smiled encouragingly. " Well, I got a call on Friday," I scratched my throat. " What kind of call? Business? " Liny questioned, concentrating on her food. " I'm going to be a father," I revealed bluntly, causing them all to freeze at the news. Liny had stopped her fork halfway to her mouth, staring at me in shock, while the others seemed to have a similar reaction. " What did you say? " my mother stammered. " I found out on Friday and am still trying to assimilate," I explained. " My God, Theon," Lara smiled, “How long has Harper been expecting?” "That's all the more reason for you to propose to her! " my grandmother pointed out cheerfully. " Harper is not pregnant," I corrected that misunderstanding. " Now I don't get it," Liny frowned. " I met a girl in Las Vegas during Gregor's bachelor party," I looked away to my almost untouched plate, "on Friday she called me to tell me that she is pregnant and that I am the father.” " You got a stranger
