Pregnant

It's been two months already since two men rescued Scarlett and brought her to the city. Scarlett never heard from them, and when she asked the hotel's receptionist she did not get any meaningful information about who these men were.

They not only paid for her stay at the hotel, they also asked the hotel to call a doctor for her and also got her new and warm clothes. After three days, she was able to get up from the bed and move about because of her werewolves blood.

Scarlett did not have enough time, nor did she try to create one to sit down and think of her life. She wanted to forget everything like it was a bad memory. It was easier said than done. Not when she sees everything in her dream every time she closes her eyes. Not when every man who had dark hair and green eyes looked like Liam or every blonde-haired woman looked like the antagonist of her life story, Olivia.

The money that was given to her by Liam was only enough to rent a small house in town and buy enough food to last a month, so she had to quickly find a job. Luckily, she got a job to serve customers at the same hotel the men brought her to.

Scarlett, who had never brushed her own hair, had a rough time serving customers. From not knowing how to balance plates on her tray to breaking it and wasting food. Thank God, the owner was kind enough to give her many opportunities.

She spent her days working and trying not to think and then her nights, reading books she borrowed from the library, but in the end, she always ended up having dreams about her banishment.

“A new customer just arrived, and he is asking for you to serve him Scarlett” one of her co-workers tapped Scarlett on the shoulder and informed her

Scarlett rolled her eyes. Since she got here, many of the customers had been trying to get her alone. It was the same with other girls, but she was not interested. She wanted nothing to do with men in general.

“As you can see, I'm having lunch, Mary. Just tell him that I'm indisposed and serve him” Scarlett told the girl and prepared to concentrate on her food.

She did not eat breakfast because she woke up late, which was unlike her and was rushing to work. Now that it was lunch time, she felt like she was about to die. It wasn't just that, she has been feeling dizzy lately and has also been vomiting and having morning sickness. Scarlett just took it as her body system trying to get used to the change of environment and living with humans.

“It's Mr. Bandini and you know he is a big customer. Miss Zelly won't be happy if we offend him” Mary told her.

“Oh hell” Scarlett groaned before shoving another spoonful of food in her mouth and getting up. She covered the food before picking up her apron and walking out.

Miss Zelly, the owner of the establishment, has been good to her, and she doesn't want to offend her, but even if she wasn't eating, she wouldn't want to serve me Bandini. The man wasn't like the other men who wanted to force themselves on her. He was polite and calm, handsome even and rich, but she didn't want him.

She met him in her second week of working in the hotel, and he has been trying to speak with her, but she kept turning him down. She didn't want to be friends, and she definitely did want a relationship.

He was on his phone when she got to his table. She cleared her throat and plastered on the polite smile she used on every one of her customers, “Welcome to Zelly, what would you like to order today?”

Mr. Bandini looked up, and a sparkle appeared in his eyes, “it's so good to see you again. I want….”

Scarlett wrote down everything he ordered before turning away but reached out to grab something when she felt the world spin. She grabbed his shoulders.

Mr. Bandini was out of his seat almost immediately and grabbing her around the waist and shoulder, “are you okay, Scarlett? You look pale” 

Scarlett squeezed her eyes tight and when she felt like the world had stopped moving, she opened them and nodded, “I'm fine. I just felt dizzy for a bit” 

“ Are you sure? You can sit for a while with me and allow someone else serve me”

 Scarlett moved away from his arms and gave him a polite smile, “I'm definitely fine and would be back with your orders in a jiffy”

She turned away from his concerned eyes and walked to the kitchen to deliver the orders to the chef.

Scarlett thought that her dizzy spells would stop after eating her lunch, but it persisted. By the end of the day, she had already almost collapsed to the floor five times.

As Scarlett walked home with heavy footsteps, she gave a silent prayer that she wouldn't fall until she got home, but her prayers were not answered. As the building she lived in appeared in her line of sight, another dizzy spell hit her, and she couldn't stop her eyes from rolling into the back of her head or her heavy body from falling to the cold hard pavement with a thud.

**

Scarlett blinked slowly as she forced her eyes open, but immediately shut it when she was attacked by a flood of blinding light. She tried again until she could finally keep her eyes open to take in her environment.

She froze and her heart sped up when she saw different medical instruments and smelt the disinfectant in the air. She was at the hospital.

“Hey, thank God you are finally awake” 

Scarlett's head snapped in the direction of the familiar voice, “what are you doing here?” What am I doing here, was what she wanted to ask Mr. Bandini.

“I was driving home when I saw you walking home. I wanted to offer you a ride, but you suddenly fainted, so I brought you to the hospital” 

“Right” Scarlett drawled as she looked up at the ceiling. “So what did the doctor say is wrong with me?” 

“I think it would be better if you heard it from the doctor's mouth” he was peering at her with an unfathomable expression that made her uncomfortable.

She was supposed to be scared when he refused to tell her what was wrong, but she figured that nothing more could go wrong in her life after her banishment. Nothing could be worse than that, especially if the banishment came from a man who was supposed to stand with you against the world.

The doctor came in minutes later, and the first question she asked was if Scarlett was married.

“Hello dear, I'm doctor Imelda” the doctor smiled and waited for Scarlett to return it. When she didn't, doctor Imelda continued, straight to the point,” are you married, Mrs. Scarlett?”

Scarlett nearly rolled her eyes. Doctor Imedal asked if she was married and, without waiting for her response, goes on to calm her Mrs.

“I'm not married, doctor. Why? If there is anything wrong with me, just go ahead and tell me” she was so tired that even after just waking up, she wanted to immediately go back to sleep. The hospital bed was much more comfy than the mattress she uses at home, she wouldn't mind staying here for days, only that Miss Zelly would mind. 

Doctor Imedal sighed and shot a look in Mr. Bandini's direction. When he nodded at her, doctor Imelda opened her mouth and told Scarlett exactly what was wrong with her, shattering her world in the process. “you are two months and a week pregnant”

All color drained from Scarlett's face.
