Chapter 11

The weeks that went by has been pretty boring,just doing the same thing over and over again. Wake up in the morning,eat,go to work, come back home and have sex.

But lately I haven't really been feeling okay. I'm dull, moody and have fever like everyday.

I have noticed my period has also been late but I don't want to get excited because it might not be what I am thinking.

I have been keeping this to myself but I think Erica has noticed, that is why she bought me a pregnancy test yesterday. I haven't taken it because I am afraid of the outcome. I don't want to be disappointed,so I have asked Erica to help me with it.

She is now making some sandwiches for Grayson and I.

Speaking of Grayson, we have gotten along pretty well. His kids are here pretty often now a days. We have bonded alot and they seem to speak highly of their mom. 

I wish to meet her one day,I like Piper alot,she is more care free but Annalise is more reserved and quiet. She acts like the overprotective big sister, scolding her sister and helping her with school work.

"Anne the food is done. Come in here now" I hear Erica yell from the kitchen. That girl.

Thank God Flynn isn't around lately,he would have scolded her.

Speaking of him also,he has been acting sus lately. Taking weird calls,not returning home early and not even spending time with me during the weekend.

I always want stay positive and not think negative that is how I was raised. I don't want to be the one to start accusations and become toxic in the relationship.

My marriage is healthy and I wouldn't let any suspicion ruin it.

I walk into the kitchen to see Grayson already stuffing his face with the beef sandwich and cranberry juice.

"Hey  I'm here. Can we do it before I eat because I'm nervous"I say nervously rubbing my hands together. It is almost winter time so the weather is chilly.

"Okay sure. Just chill okay everything will be fine"she reassures me.

Grayson looked at us confused but we waved him off and headed to the bathroom in the east wing.

                                            .

"Okay what does it say"I asked Erica nervously.

"Dude,chillax, I'm now going to check,the three minutes is now up"she groans.

She walks to the sink while I pace back and forth anxiously.

"So what does it say"I asked worriedly as I stand still and looked at Erica who eyes were wide and in a state of shock.

"Po..Po.. positive. You are pregnant Anne"she whispers looking at me with tears in her eyes.

I was now paralyzed,in utter shock. I can't believe,I am pregnant. I have a child growing inside me,I am going to be a mother.

I cover my mouth as I begin to sob.

"Anne ...." Erica comes to hug me also crying.

"I can't believe it Erica,I'm going to be a mother. I am finally going to be called mom"I cry into her shoulder.

"I am so happy for  you Anne. This is great news. Flynn would be so happy" Erica whispers.

"Yeah,he would be so estactic, he has always dreamt of being a dad and now he is going to be one" I tell her.

"I know,but not to be a pooper but we need to make sure it is accurate. We need to call the family doctor for some blood test " Erica says and I nod.

"Yeah,I'm going to make an appointment with him right now. I just can't believe this is real. Oh and I also need to call the Gynecologist my mom recommended for me" I tell her.

I fixed myself in the mirror and rubbed my flat tummy with big smile.

We got out and walked hand in hand back to the kitchen like two kids from the candy store. 

Grayson is now washing his plate and glass up. He was done with the meal, I took a seat on the counter as Erica walks to living room to make the appointment.

"Hey Grayson, we will be going out later today maybe,so I want you to get the car ready " I tell him .

"Okay ma'am" he responds curtly and I noticed something was off with him.

I didn't want to pry so I let it go. I need to focus on myself and my baby now.

"He'll be able to see you at 3 noon. We need to get ready" Erica says from behind me and then goes back ,I need to get ready.

I finished my meal and then went to the room to change.

                                           .

"Thank you for having me on a short notice Dr. Salzar"I say as I lay down on the bed.

"It is nothing Miss Jones,I am always at your service. Now lay down and raise you shirt up a little" he says and I do so. Well,Erica did it for me,she wanted to be there through everything.

"No need to be scared but it is going to be cold when I  rub this gel on your abdomen "he warned before applying the gel.

He then places a machine on my abdomen and started moving it in circles. 

He was so concentrated at the beginning but relaxes  seconds later.

"Congratulations Miss Jones,you are indeed pregnant. There is the little jelly bean. It looks like you are now three weeks pregnant"he says pointing to a small thing on the screen.

"My baby,my little angel"I cry tears of joy.

Erica was also sniffing beside me, wiping my tears away.

                                            .

"I'll schedule your first ultrasound with an OBGYN. Please make sure to take all your vitamins and other prescription. Your journey might not be easy but with the proper care, you'll have a safe delivery" he says before writing down some notes for me.

"Thank you once again Dr.Salzar,I'm so grateful" I tell him.

"Congratulations once again. Have a safe journey"he replies back and I smile.

I let out a sigh of contentment as I rub my stomach tenderly.

"I love you already baby. I'm going to protect you at all cost. I'll give you the world" I whisper to myself.

"Already a spoiled brat"Erica groans and burst into laughter.

I love that girl. But I'll never tell her that
