6.The strange call

                   Nancy's POV 

A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations. I rolled uncomfortably on the bed as I suddenly felt the reflection of the sun rays forcefully making it's way into the room and resting on my face. 

A loud hiss left my lips as i flipped over to back the sun's reflection, but i could still feel the heat. And angrily, i sat up to behold Andrew. He was standing closed to his wardrobe and fixing up his blue tie. He was already dressed in a black suit, looks like he is getting ready for work.

"Hey! Why did you have to open the curtains? Are you blind or what? Can't you see that I am still sleeping?" I fired.

" And can't you see that I am dressing up? Why should I care if you are still sleeping? " He snapped and bent down to wear his shoes.

I shot daggers at him but decided not to speak further. I won't let him ruin my day. I sat on the bed and quietly watch him do his thing. He ran the comb through his hair and I couldn't ignore the fact that he was indeed handsome.

 He had a soft baby face, curly hair, pink lip, broad shoulders like that of a demi god. No wonder those ladies kept on stealing glances and throwing themselves at him. 

At that moment, I remembered what the doctor told me and all the anger disappeared. I got than from the bed and hugged him from behind. He chuckled and drew me to face him. He cupped my face and slowly brought his lips towards mine.

"Guess what honey?" I asked and he stopped halfway.

He sighed exasperatedly. "What is it? You know I'm not good at guessing" he said with a voice that shows that he wasn't interested in whatever I was about to say to him.

Well, I am not surprised. This has always been his habit, to provoke me. Sometimes I wonder what even made me get married to him at the first place. He hardly spends time with me, during our conversation he shows lack of concentration, he is so boring. All he knows how to do is work and work and it is so annoying. Although he gets me whatever I want but it's just not enough. I want his time.

"Seriously? Must you be a kill joy" I hissed and turned to leave but he stopped me. 

"Come on Nancy, you know that I am not really good at guessing" He softly spoke. 

I let out a deep breath of relief and turned to face him again. "Okay! I'll tell you.The doctor said there's a possibility of me getting pregnant" I announced, excitedly.

"Okay" He replied. 

I raised my eyebrows as my smile suddenly fade away.

"Okay? Is that all you can say? Or aren't you happy?" I asked surprised..

He scoffed. "Happy? What's there to be happy about? The doctor did not say you're pregnant, she only said there's a possibility of you getting pregnant"

My heart melted at his response. An invisible knife immediately stabbed my heart and twisted it. I gasped at the pain as my hand gripped my chest tightly. I froze, my feet rooted to the spot as my brain tried to assimilate what I just heard. 

"Get pregnant first and then you can come for us to celebrate it" He snarled, ignoring my present condition and without sparing me a stare, he walked out with his brief case.

I stood there watching him go..My legs quivered as I slumped down. My own husband doesn't even believe that I can get pregnant again.

What have I done to deserve this?Why isn't life fair?I've got all the riches I've ever wished for but still I'm unhappy. I don't know how long I stood there maybe 10 seconds, maybe 10 minutes. It took some time for me to find my voice.

"I want a child! A child!" I cried and pushed down the flower vase which was sitting helplessly beside my bedside table. 

I..need..to see the doctor..

"Felicia!" I yelled..

After some seconds, she rushed in. "Ma!" 

"Get me my phone!"

"Yes ma" She bowed and squirreled out. I walked to and fro the room restlessly as many thoughts ran through my mind. After a while, Felicia came in with my phone. I took it from her and unlocked it. Just then, I looked up to see her still standing over there and staring at me.

"What are you still waiting for? Get the hell out of here" I yelled and she squirrelled out. 

I sighed exasperatedly, I have to get a hold on myself or I will end up losing my mind.I dialed the new doctor's number..

"Hello! Good morning ma" her voice popped up, excitedly. 

How could she be so excited while I'm in so much pain, I couldn't bottle up my frustration anymore so I flared up. "Keep your damn greetings to yourself! Meet me now beside the popular harmbouger's hotel" I half yelled..

"What?..but" she asked, confused.

"Most importantly come with the scan result" I said and cut the call. I grabbed my car keys and zoomed off. 

           

                  Doctor Phoebe's POV

I quickly dressed up and rushed to the hotel. When I got there, there was no sight of her.

Who the heck does this woman thinks she is to order me around?

I came out of the hotel, just then I saw someone waving at me from a car. I took a proper look at the person and it was the annoying queen. I walked up to her. As soon as I got close, the passenger's door cracked open. 

"Hi!!" I gave her a fake smile as I slid into the silver Pagani zonda. I made sure that she knew how fake my smile was.

"Hi..I.. wanted to.." She tried to say but I cut her off. 

"This is the scan result" I said handing over the papers to her. She quickly took them from me. 

"Oh thanks! Uhm..I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you.I wasn't in my right state of mind, I'm sorry" She said.

I let out a deep breath. "It's okay. Just as I said earlier,there's a greater possibility of you getting pregnant but your husband will have to come see me for some check up" I explained.

"Okay! But it's that necessary?" 

"Yes it is! Or don't you want to get pregnant?" I snapped.

"Of course I do!.When is the appointment?"

"6pm tomorrow"

"Okay! He'll be there" She announced with so much confidence.

"Cool! Lest I forget, this is a fertility drug - always take it once a day" I said, giving her the small box which contained some drugs.

"Thanks..I'm so grateful"

"Oh come on! It's nothing"
