Chapter forty one

Noah Williams

"Welcome Mr Noah Williams and miss Marinda." Doctor Sandra said as she took her seat behind the desk. She had requested me into calling her doctor and her calling me Mr when I had told her countless of times to refer to me to just noah or Noah Williams but she insisted it's unprofessional of her to do that when she's at her work place or mine only when we are both at home we can now call each other by our first names.

"It's a pleasure ."I said giving her a light smile.

"No it's not, you kept us waiting outside for you and also it's Mrs marinda williams to you." Marinda interrupted me rudely.

Here she goes again with this her attitude,if it wasn't for her pregnancy I would have gotten rid of her a long time ago. I can't believe I going to be marrying her.. unbelievable.

Sandra raised her eyebrows at me in both confusion and surprise.I don't blame her for giving me that look at all because I never told her anything about getting married or being engaged with a drama queen.

"We are engaged." Was all I said hoping she will understand I didn't want to discuss the topic further especially with marinda present In the same room with me.

"We are engaged and about to get married next week, isn't that lovely, we came to a conclusion its best for us to bring in a baby into this world with us being married." She said clapping her hands.

I never agreed with getting married to her,when I arrived at her parents place after being told of her pregnancy,her father insisted on me getting married to his daughter saying he doesn't want his only daughter having a baby after marriage , even after insisting he has nothing to worry about that I will provide for the baby and marinda, the old man was unshakable and now I'm getting married next week.... hurray...not.

"Congratulations. I'm seriously happy for you Noah and Miss Marinda.."doctor sandra said unsure of what to call marinda.

" Williams. "Marinda concluded making me roll my eyes.

" Can we now focus on why we are here . "

The fact was that I could care less about these discussions when I had only meet the love of my life just a minutes ago. She looks more beautiful then before only her skin was a little pale. I wondered why she was in Sandra's office. Was she sick or something or....pre-.

" Yes , we are here to check up on our baby. " Marinda said pulling me out of my ridiculous thought. Her legs were crossed together,one would think she was in a business meeting discussing about politics rather than a baby.

" Ok give me some minutes. " She said giving marinda a warm smile ,then proceeding to type on her computer.

I watched as sandra ran some test on marinda,the grabbed her doppler and then told her to lie down on the bed and raise her clothes.

"You are seven weeks pregnant ." Sandra said after sometime making marinda eyes widened giving out a nervous laugh.

How can she be seven weeks pregnant,I would have sworn the last test results I saw she was only four weeks pregnant.

What do I know about pregnancy but one thing I was certain about was about the night I slept with her or think I did, it was five weeks ago. Some things wasn't right here, something was definitely fishy.

"The gell will be a little cold." Sandra said in a warning tone, she starts  moving the doppler over marinda lower abdomen. After some seconds we all heard a heartbeat.

"Wow." I couldn't help myself and say out loud in awe. This is the first baby I was going to follow up from childs birth,I wish I was there for Xavier,if only Victoria wasn't so wicked to take that privilege from me.

"The baby is healthy." Sandra said turning off the doppler then wiping the gell off marinda who stood up and brought her clothes back down.

"So I will schedule another appointment with you in four weeks time and send you an email on everything you need to know about your pregnancy.

"Thank you very much Dr sandra."

She gave me a light smile in appreciation. I wanted to discuss privately with her what Victoria was doing here in the first place.

"Marinda please wait for me in the car ,I have some family issues to discuss with Dr sandra privately."I said as I watched marinda take her purse from the desk and stood up to face me.

" But I'm now part of your family so you can say it in my present."she argued placing her hands on her tummy.

" Yes  I know that but this is about her husband surprise birthday party and I'm sure sandra will want some privacy not to ruin the surprise.right sandra."I said looking up from Marina face to Sandra's face hoping she will comply with me.

" Right."

" Ok, I will be in the car. You have only five minutes"she said then left the room. I moved to the door locking it up.

" Why did you lie to your fiancee and also you know parker birthday is passed right." Sandra asked smiling.

"I Know that sandra, I lied because I have something very important to discuss with you. "

"And what is that."she asked and I watched her arrange some files on her desk.

" It's Victoria John philp."she dropped the files she was holding and looked at me with a furrowed eyebrows.

" I don't discuss any of my clients information with you do just drop it."

"I understand but it's life and death. I just want to know what she was doing here."I said back to her practically begging at this point.

" Do you know her."

" Yes I do ,you will be surprised how well o do."I said to her , running my hands through my hair and then my face .

" But earlier I had ask her if she knew you and she said she didn't. Why would she lie about that" she said giving me a suspicious look.

Of course Victoria would lie to her that what she's good at lieing to people's face.

" Because we don't really have a good history together and also with  I being the father to her child."

" What ! you mean you her the father to the baby..the son she had about ten yes ago."sandra asked with eyes wide opened,her hands flew to her mouth.

" Yes, I'm. That's why I need to know why she was here with you earlier. I was lied to ten yes ago and missed the birth of my son. She wouldn't have told me anything If I hadn't accidentally walked into her room and found out that piece of information myself..so please tell me why she is here...is she "I paused my words looking at sandra with pleading eyes.

" Is she pregnant."I asked swallowing the lump on my throat.

"Why do you need to know that information besides isn't your own fiancee pregnant,I think you should focus more on that then on somebody else."

"" I need to know because I could again be the  the father,goddamit sandra, don't you understand where I am coming from. "

" how can you be the father Noah if you have a fiancee that seems to love and care for you."

" I didn't get marinda pregnant by choice neither do I love her,all I know is that I woke up one mornings and boom she's carrying my child and speaking of carrying my child you said she is seven weeks pregnant that's almost two months..how come,I remember waking up to her only a month and about one to two weeks ago...are you sure you didn't make  a mistake."

" Nope.. I'm perfectly sure all my examinations on her were correct..your fiancee is seven weeks pregnant again congratulations."

" Haha..are you now going to tell me if Victoria is pregnant or not."I continued to asking feeling myself getting impatient.

" Why are you insisting so much on her being pregnant..is like you intentionally want her to be pregnant for you."

" Yes I do." I saw no point on denying it,I was in love with her so I will be the happiest man on earth if she is. We could get married and start a family after she beg for forgiveness.

" Wow..well she is-"

" Noah , I'm tired baby let's go."marinda shouted behind the door interrupting out heated discussion.

" I will be right there Marinda just give me a minute."

" No , open the door."I let out a sigh and walked over to the door to open and saw marinda glaring at me.

She walked into the room giving both sandra and I suspicious smiles.

"I told you to give me some minutes." I said to her matching her glare,she just interrupted a very important discussion. I was this close in finding out the truth.

"No you said that twenty minutes ago,my foot and back hurts..you remember what the doctor said about me getting stressed out." She said she was about to cry, indirectly blackmailing me.

" We will continue this conversation later doctor." I let out a long annoying sigh and turned my face back to marinda.

" Ok."

" Come on let's go."I reluctantly grabbed marinda hands leading her outside the hospital building to my car. I opened the car door for her to enter and walked to my seat.

" I will drop you off at home ,I have to go back to the office to finish the work I have missed this past few weeks." I said to her but she didn't reply.

She looked deep in thought which was a good thing as I also made use of the slience to think.

I wasn't going to directly to work when I  have expert employee who i  pay well and are very much capable of handling my business without me being present. I was going to Victoria's house to finally confront her for everything and H hope she's ready because she really had a  long explaining to do.
