THIRTY EIGHT

" What's got you all excited?" Vicky asked with a grin on her face.

" Nothing , I'm just having a good feeling about today." I answered, smiling .

Vicky laughed, taking a hold of my hand and we both made our way out of the house. I got into the car first and Vicky followed afterwards, she gave our destination and Alfred drove out of the premises to the direction of the mall. The ride wasn't long because of how free the road was.

We both got down from the car, walking inside the mall with Alfred a few steps away from us. We kept going round the mall not really buying much, till we got to the baby section and I cast Vicky a look and said what the hell were we doing here. She let out a sheepish smile, discreetly looking behind us to see what Alfred was doing.

Since we had nothing to buy, we decided to just go to the hospital. We walked out of the mall and back to the car, giving Alfred our next destination. We got to the hospital in no time, Vicky and I both got out of the car.

" We won't be long, you can drive around and I will let you know when we are ready to go." I said to Alfred, receiving a nod in return.

Vicky and I made our way into the hospital and asked the nurse for an assistant to the gynecologist office and she was kind enough to direct us since the hospital was a big one. We got into the elevator, pressing the third floor as it took us up.

When we got to our designated floor, we met another nurse and she asked us to wait at the sitting area while she confirmed our appointment.

" Dr. Kelly is ready to see you." The nurse directed us into a cozy office. In front of us stood a mid age woman in a white doctor's coat and a reading glass at the top of her nose.

" Hi I'm Dr Kelly. It's nice to meet you." She pulled her hand forward for a handshake and we gladly accepted it. She waved us to a seat before taking hers opposite from us.

" So, what seems to be the problem." She asks, my gaze shifted from Vicky to her.

" Have been feeling quite nauseated recently, constantly vomiting every morning and my body feels weak. I took a pregnancy test and l confirmed I was pregnant. I just want to get confirmation from a doctor.

" Have you and your spouse been using protection?" She looks straight at me and I blush, shaking my head. " What you stated are obvious signs of pregnancy and let's not forget the result from the test kit. but to be sure, let's run an urinary test to see if that isn't the issue."

She gave me a cup, directing me to the bathroom. After finishing, I close the lid. Wash my hands and head back to the doctor's office.

Dr Kelly and Vicky were still there, she took the cup from my hand.

" I will be back" Dr Kelly says, excusing herself for a minute as she walks out of her office. I let out a breath and Vicky held my hand giving me a light squeeze as a source of support. Ensuring me that everything would be okay.

The door opened and Dr Kelly Stepped In with a file in her hands. She walked in the opposite direction from us, taking a seat. She placed the file on the table, adjusting her glasses before picking up the file from the table. She glanced through it then put it back down for the second time.

" Well, it seems the test kit was correct. Congratulations Mrs. Reeves, from the result it shows that you are five weeks pregnant."

I gasp as I feel tears run down my eyes, five weeks. Which meant I was close to two months pregnant.

" Thank you doctor." I breathlessly say. Vicky squeezed my hand, she had the biggest grin on her face, just like the day I took the pregnancy test.

" Would you like to go for an ultrasound to see how the baby is doing?" Dr Kelly questioned, her hands clapped together.

I shook my head refusing her offer and Vicky sent me a questionable look. " Don't you want to know if the baby is okay."

" Of course I want to, but I want to do it with Giovanni beside me. I think I'm going to tell him today, it was silly of me to think he won't want this baby. I know that he loves me." I say smiling at her.

" Good, that's a nice call. I'm sure he will be over the moon." She chuckles.

" Thank you doctor ." I say to doctor Kelly.

" It's my job." She smiles. " I have given the nurse the required vitamin you need, so take it from her on the way out."

We stood up, shaking each other's hand one last time before Vicky and I left the doctor's office. We walked to where the nurse was, taking the pills then left the hospital.

Alfred was resting at the hood of the car when we got outside . He opened the back door for us to get , then got into the driver's seat before driving off. We dropped off

Vicky first at.my brother's house then drove off to Giovanni's office since I was too excited to wait.

I got out of the car when we got to the parking lot, I walked inside the office trying not to get bothered by the stares of the employees as I walked past them to the elevator, a big smile on my face.

When I got to the top floor, the secretary seat was empty so I decided to make my way to Giovanni's office. I got to the door and found it open, I was about to enter when I heard Nick's voice.

" You need to tell her Gio, she is your wife and she deserved the truth." Nick said, his voice filled with worry.

" I don't need to tell Roy anything." Giovanni voiced out agitated.

" She would feel hurt and betrayed if she finds out later." It was silent for a moment before Nick spoke again. " Come on man, it's been a long time. I can't believe you still love her this much."

" Yes I love her, I'm still madly in love with Alexander's mom, I will always love her no matter what. Nothing and no one can ever change the way I feel about her, not now, not ever." Giovanni yelled out, clearly frustrated.

His words and declarations sent my heart shattering into so many pieces, I didn't even realize I had dropped my bag on the floor, which seemed to have alerted them. The door opened wide and I saw Giovanni staring at me with a guilty and worried look. I could see his lips moving but I wasn't able to hear a word.

How could he betray me, how could he tell me he loved me when he can't get over Alexander's mom. His words said it all, he was still hopelessly in love with her. Then what about me, what was I to him.

A rebound

Tears kept pouring down my eyes, I couldn't stand seeing him so I did the one thing that came to my mind. I ran, I ran out of his office to the elevator, pressing the button as fast as I could when I saw Giovanni coming after me with a terrified look in his face and his eyes red.

I puffed out a breath when the door closed, my tears kept pouring out with no control. I raced out of the office, boarding a cab. When I looked back I saw a heretic Giovanni running after the car, I tried wiping the tears off my face but it just kept pouring out.

" Ma'am are you okay." The cab driver asked worriedly and I nodded my head even though the last thing I felt was okay. " I'm sure everything will...." and he was cut off by the sound of a truck speeding towards us.

My eyes opened wide when I saw the speed the truck kept coming at us, the next thing I know the cab stumbled upside down. I felt my ear ringing , with blood dripping down my head. My body felt weak, I couldn't move my hands or legs , I fought to stay awake with one thought in my head.

My baby.

My eyes slowly shut closed as I lost the battle to stay conscious.
