Chapter 97

Tessa's POV

A few weeks later...

C'mon Tessa... You read the instructions and you know what you have to do. I pee in the cup, I put the test in and then I take it out. I let the test one the drawer and I wait.

"Tess, baby?" He knocks at the door. Shit! How he knows that I'm in the bathroom? Shit, shit, shit.

"I will be ready in a minute."

"Are you ok, baby? Let me in." He tries to open the door but it's locked. "Tess? Are you ok?"

"Yes, I am fine!"

"Why you locked the door?"

"It's public bathroom, Hardin! Go wait me in my office, I will be there in a minute."

"But are you ok?"

"Yes, I am."

"Ok, I believe you."

I don't hear him anymore, so he left. Why I took this test? Well... I'm late and I remember that we had unprotected sex in the night with the proposal... But I didn't pay attention and I think something happened and now... we are going to suffer the consequences. About my OB check, I couldn't go when I had the appointment and I reschedule this tomorrow, so maybe then doctor Robbins will confirm a pregnancy or a problem in case that this test is negative. I wait another three minutes and I look at the pregnancy test. Negative. Ok, then is there another problem and I will find out this at my appointment. I throw the test in the garbage, I flush the toilet, I wash my hands and I go to my office where I find Hardin waiting for me.

"Hey." He smiles.

"Hey." I sit on the couch next to him. "Is there a problem if we order here our lunch?"

"No. I'm not in the mood for going out."

"Me neither. Can you make the order?"

"Sure." He takes out his phone and he order our lunch. "So, what happened?"

"Why do you think something happened?" He takes my hand.

"Because you were in that bathroom for more than ten minutes." I let my head on his shoulder.

"I don't know what to tell you."

"What happened, baby? You can tell me everything."

"I know... But it's more sensible."

"I am your fiancée and I want to know what's wrong with my future wife."

"I thought that I am pregnant."

"But..."

"I know we used condoms, but remember the night of the proposal."

"Oh..."

"Exactly. I took a test and it's negative. But I have to go to my doctor to choose the contraceptive method and we will see why I am late."

"I want to come with you."

"Why would you come with me at my OB appointment?"

"It's not normal?"

"Not now."

"Why not?"

"Because it's awkward to go with you boyfriend... fiancée at an OB appointment."

"Well, get used to it. I'm coming with you."

"What... what if I am pregnant?" My voice breaks and he hugs me. I hide my face in his neck and I start to cry.

"What's wrong, baby?" He rubs my back.
