CHAPTER 41 - THE MORNING NEWS
Meanwhile the same morning at Courtney’s location currently inside the bathroom when she received a message from his father that came to their house looking for her. She also found a lot of email that she purposely didn’t read since it’s from Ben. She even receives calls from him that she keeps on rejecting although the number has been deleted on her list, her brain still managed to memorize the digits.
“Are you not going to answer it?” Nic-Nic asked her.
Since the fight she had with Ben, Courtney has been staying at her best friend considering Nicolo knows everything. It was safe to stay there and she can avoid her mother’s interrogation every morning. As for her clinic, Nathalia is keeping her tabs with her patients that she transferred to few of her Colleagues since she’s been unwell.
“I have bigger problem to face instead taking that call.” Courtney ignored her phone.
“No you are going to take that damn phone call before that hot bun inside your oven burst." Her friend is staring at the positive result on her hand.
Yesterday Courtney started throwing up and Nic-Nic suggested getting a pregnancy test to know if she is really expecting. She wasn't paying attention to her period that much since she has an irregular month.
“No he doesn’t have the right to know.” Courtney gets fumed automatically.
"He deserves to know about this Con-Con, he is the father.” Nicolo stated another fact.
"He doesn't deserve to know besides there's no assurance he will love this child." Courtney held her two months stomach.
“Do you really want your child to grow up without a father? Do you want to neglect that right to your child?” Her friend was being reasonable.
"I can’t just talk to him and say… hey, I’m pregnant with your child, so want to meet up?" Courtney cried harder on her best friend's shoulder.
“That’s a unique way to say it or you can say thanks for giving me a yearly souvenir on our sex capades.” Nic-Nic giggles while trying to sooth her emotional friend.
“Stop joking around, I‘m serious Nic-Nic I don’t know what to do.” Courtney pushed him away a little.
“Fine grumpy money, since I am after all your loving best friend I will help you on telling him about it, so if in any case the asshole acted a real jerk, I can take revenge on your behalf.” Nic-Nic flipped his short hair like a woman should making Courtney laughed in return.
"Please don't tell me you're not killing him." Courtney acted frightened.
"Are you kidding me? I don't want to be in prison but I could get used to it those men in uniforms are the sexiest." He bats his eyelashes.
"Be decent in front of your godchild." Courtney hit him with a pillow.
"Stop hurting me or I won't help you." He threatened as Courtney sat on the toilet seat.
“I’m scared of being rejected again Nic-nic, I mean have you forgotten that he is in love with someone? For all I know they are dating by now while I’m suffering?” She thought of the possible scenario that can happen.
“I don’t know where your brains at these days, haven’t you think from one second that if the guy you claimed is in relationship, do you think he will keep bugging you like crazy?” Nic-Nic stated his observation.
“Maybe he is just guilty for what he did.” Courtney dismissed the logic on it.
“For holy cheese balls sake he's been calling you for over a month but you keep ignoring it, are you still going to defend your argument?” Her friend raises an eyebrow.
"Maybe he just wanted to apologize and doesn’t want to hold any grudges because we didn’t end in good terms that night.” She convinced him more.
“It will be good for him if he wants a closure but not to you because I know for fact that you’re in love with him Con-Con. You can’t hide that from me no matter how many times you try to convince me.” Her best friend brought up.
“I admit I do but he made it clear to me that he doesn't feel the same way that’s why I hate him for leading me on Nic-Nic and now I’m pregnant with his child.” Courtney defended.
"Are you sure? Because it seems like you're just clouded with your emotions but deep inside you still want him." Nicolo placed a hand on his hip that her friend finds funny.
"I am certain Nic-Nic besides he's not ready to commit to anybody. Everything we did was just part of the deal." Courtney smiled after seeing her friend’s action.
"If you say so then forget about him and think what you plan to do with this little bunny." He held the kit in front of Courtney that was lying on the counter.
"I will keep it even though I hate the father I don’t want to commit another mistake. The only problem is my parents, how are they going to take this news." Courtney fiddled her nails.
“Are you kidding? Your mother is already on the moon when she thought you’re pregnant well technically you already are you just don’t know that time. Anyway, my point is Arianna is already knows she’s having a grandchild so that’s not a problem anymore but for your father, I’m not so sure about it.” Nicolo was right on that.
"Knowing Papà he might totally forgot that I am his daughter and disown me if I said that I’ll be a single mom." She took a deep sigh.
"You're his "princess" so of course he will love and accept you no matter what. You will still get their support no matter what your decision is.” Nicolo gave additional advice to his friend.
“If only you were there, you can tell from his tone that he was not thrilled to hear that I’m pregnant, what more on raising my child alone?” Courtney answered while thinking about his father’s reaction.
"I have a plan so stop mopping around and listen." Nicolo smiled like a lunatic and started to explain the plan.
"Are you sure this will work Nic-Nic?" Courtney raised an eyebrow after listening to her best friend’s plan.
"Trust me on this." He winked playfully.
"I hope so." Courtney can only pray.
"We will not be able to start our plan when you’re moping here, so come on we need to get you home." He pulled her up.
"Can I at least change?" Courtney scanned her oversize clothes.
Nicolo nodded after realizing she was wearing his shirt and a pair of pink socks. He left her to make the weirdest breakfast for her craving friend while Courtney gets ready.
