Nancy flew to her quarters, not wanting nor waiting to chat with Mrs. Potts her good friend.She did not even remember to wish her a good night.Only one word kept ringing in her ears.'Pregnant! Pregnant! Pregnant! Preg...'She could not understand why she was feeling so restless and tearful. Afterall she was pregnant herself and would be due in about five months. So why was she so upset about someone else's pregnancy?She could not deny it. She knew the reason the news bothered her. It bothered her because of the involvement Jason. The father of the baby was her problem because she had foolishly fallen in love with him and with the recent developments between them, she had hoped that he was beginning to like her as well but his ex wife was always with him and from the look of things,Jason liked working and going out with Rebecca his ex wife. She would not be surprised if they had become intimate and would soon remarry.She had been consoling herself with the thought that it could j
Nancy went to the office very early, the next day. She didn't want to go in the same car with Jason. The activities that have occured recently had made her realise that she did want so much to be with Jason.He was such a good and generous man but she wanted more. More than he was willing to offer. If he had once said that he loved her, even without a marriage proposal, she would have willingly been with him hopeful that marriage would definitely follow.He was honest and didn't want to lie to her. So if he had said he loved her, then she would have known that he spoke the truth.Being in the closure a car would provide might just make her lose her cool and reveal her true feelings to Jason and she did not want his pity. She would just continue to act aloof. Afterall, all hope was lost, he had his ex wife vying to come back into his life and one of his mistresses was expecting his baby. What chance did she have especially being pregnant with another man's child and growing fat and ugl
Anna allowed her to cry to her heart"s content.'Let it out. It is better that way than bottling it up', she said as she allowed her to cry her heart out.Nancy calmed later and wiped her eyes.'I am really sorry. I am normally not such a nuisance', she apologised.'It is good to let out your emotions once in a while because it is not too good bottling them up all the time. Now will you tell me what this is all about? And I need the truth. Don't tell me it is about your baby's father because I will not buy it. I know it had something to do with Jason. I am not a fool'.'But how could it be about Jason? What do you mean?' Nancy hedged.'I am your friend Nancy. At least I hope I am because I consider you to be my friend. Don't take me for a fool.Tell me what our boss has done that has troubled you this much. You know of course that your confidence is safe with me'.'He had gone and got one of his mistresses pregnant', Nancy blurted.Anna could see. But she kept quiet so that Nancy could
After listening to Nancy's narration, Anna was sure that Nancy was madly in love with Jason but might just not admit it.'I have listened to your story and it is a very sad one but the fresh heartbreak you are currently experiencing is not about that cheat Rodney. It is about Jason and it is because of your fear of losing him especially to this pregnant mistress of his.But I am confused. There seem to be something, you are not telling me. Has Jason expressed any feelings for you?''What has that got to do with anything?''Okay, so he has. And you? Have you told him how you feel?''Why should I? I told him that I refuse to be a play thing for any rich man.I was once inadvertently the play thing of one rich fool but not again.'You mean he told you that he loved you and you just assumed that he wanted you to be his play thing? How can you be so sure that is the only thing he wants from you?' Anna asked amused.'No. That is the problem see? At least Rodney told me that he loved me th
'Bryan is fine. He has decided that he would take me to meet his parents for Thanksgiving. I am happy but also apprehensive. I want so much for his parents and relatives to love me. He has assured me that they would but I still cannot help feeling anxious'.Anna confided.'Oh Anna. And you have been having this in your mind since with no one to share it with while I have been here so consumed by my problems that I haven't even noticed', Nancy said hugging Anna.'Its okay Nancy. I am not complaining'.'You do not need to complain. As a friend, I should have asked about your plans sooner. But you do not have to worry. Bryan's parents and relatives have no option but to love you. No one can resist loving you, you know?'Anna was so grateful that she hugged Nancy closer.'I want for it to work this time. I have been through alot. Three heartbreaks and all it's fittings'. She laughed. Nancy was shocked. She had just suffered one heartbreak and it was as devastating as this, and Anna was tal
Jason got to Dr. Manuel's office. Indeed, he had gone to check on some patience. The receptionist asked him to wait.'Good afternoon Dr'. Jason greeted the doctor as soon as he saw him.'Good afternoon Jason Campbell. Please, come with me into my office'.As soon as the door shut behind them, Jason went straight to the reason for his visit.'Doctor, I need your help but before then, I'd like to ask you a few questions'.'Go ahead''Doc, is it possible for a woman to get pregnant while on the pill?' Jason asked.'It is. Not because of the ineffectiveness of the drug but due to certain conditions that were not met. She may have forgotten to take one day and once that happens, no matter how many she takes it afterwards, it would not make any difference.Also, if it is a change of pills, it may not match with her body mechanisms and could prove to be ineffective'. the doctor explained patiently. 'But what is the use of all these questions you are asking?''One of my friends with whom I ha
Jason gave Phoebe a call and asked her to see him that evening. He cancelled all his appointment for that day so that he could get home early. Phoebe had had another row with Romeo who had disagreed with her plans. He was sure that the baby was his and not Jason's. He had no proof but he could feel it in his hits and he wanted what was his. 'And I have told you that the baby isn't yours and you will have to get prepared to leave my house because the father of my child may just get jealous or angry if he found out that you were co habiting with the mother of his child', she told him. 'Don't count your chicks before they are hatched. How are you sure Jason would be foolish enough to believe that the child is his without a paternity test?' 'You do not have to concern yourself with that. I have it all sorted out. It will all turn out in my favour, you'll see' Phoebe said confidently. Romeo didn't know what she had in mind and though he tried to find out, she just laughed merrily but
Phoebe went back to the house in deep thought She decided that she knew what she must do first the next day.She was shocked to see Romeo's bag full and knew what he was planning.'Romeo, what is the meaning of this?''I thought that it was pretty obvious. I am leaving. I shall leave first thing in the morning'.'But why? I know that I asked you to prepare to leave my life forever but there is still time and you do not need to go far from here. We shall still be seeing each other'.'Listen to yourself. You want desperately to get married to Jason and it would seem that your wish is about to be fulfilled and yet you want me around and you are saying that being with Jason as his wife would not stop us from continuing our affair? What kind of person are you and for how long do you think you will be able to keep it up before you are found out and then all your careful planning would be ruined?''Then at least I will have been his wife for sometime and if he decided to divorce me, I will
