Life As A Backstabber

Chapter 3

"Love, you are not going to work today. If I se you in the office then I will have to carry you out." I groaned.

"But there's too much work to be left-"

"Which is why I'm going in. Relax, watch tv or something but do not over exert yourslef. You're sick, so act sick not like a woman who can't chill." He kissed my lips gently and I smiled into the kiss. I loved this. Having him here everyday was like heaven. 

After that overly stressful dinner about two weeks ago, Jordan had served Croline the divorce papers and I have to say I'm glad I wasn't there. He came home in tears because of the raw emotion that Caroline had shown. She was heartbroken, but Caroline signed those papers the very next day and handed them back to Jordan in his office with her head held high. 

"Baby, let me come into work." I rubbed my hand along his stubbled cheek and he nuzzled in closer to my hand but he didn't fold. 

"I'm sorry but no. I need you healthy for me. I dont like seeing my girl sick and tired, so rest for me." He kissedmy palm then got up and left. I sighed and sat back against the pillow. Maybe if I went to the doctor and she cleared me for work, Jordan would fold. I knew I wasnt extremely sick beause I was already feeling fine. After a couple of days of throwing up, I guess the bug was finally gone. If only Jordan could see that.

I dressed in my black joggin suit and put on my Nike Air Max 2012 before I grabbed my keys and left in my Lexus. I pulled up to the doctor's office and walked into the overly clean building that smelt like rubbing alcohol and old people. I signed my name into the sign in sheet and waited for my impromptu appointment. Money could basically get you anything. 

"Natalie Palmer?" I looked up at the bored looking nurse then grabbed my purse and walked to the back. We did all the preliminary stuff, weight, height, peeing in a cup. All that good stuff before Iwas allowed to go to the back rooms. I was led to one of the first rooms and told to change into that stupid gown. I hate them because my back is always so cold. I waited for about 10minutes before my doctor came in.

"Hello Natalie, how are you doing?" I smiled at her.

"I'm fine Doc. So let's get this appointment going so that my boyfriend will let me go to work." She chuckled but checked all my vitals and asked me all the normal questions. 

"So Natalie, I have to check one more thing, then you can go on your way." She smiled before leavng the room and turning down the hallway. I just laid back on my chair and texted Jordan.

'Hows the office without me?' -Nat

'Boring. How's being sick without me?' -J

'Im not sick! Just admit it J :P' -Nat

'Yes you are! Love, admit it and just accept it.' -J 

I sent him an answer back before the doctor came backinto the room, smiling. "Good news, you aren't sick." I sighed in relief and smiled getting ready to sit up. "You're pregnant." I froze and stared at the doctor. "Congratulations." 

"What?" I just couldnt wrap my head around it. "What do you mean I'm pregnant?" I counted in my head. I was having my period wasnt I? Then it hit me, I was suposed to have my period 2 weeks ago, but I was so stressed I didnt think about it. 

Im pregnant.

With Jordan's baby. That thought made me smile and once the doctor saw my smile she left the room and let me get dressed. I finished getting dressed then opened the door and walked to the front desk to pay. I left that office then went to the elevator to find my OBGYN's office since I was goingto be visiting him very often, very soon.
