Prison of Lies (Partners in Crime Book 2)

Chapter 5

Margaux POV

I'm sweating and really nervous. Caleb and I are here in Doctor Comnena's office. I just had some test for my check up and we're just waiting for the results.

She took a sigh first while holding the papers. I look at my husband who's sitting on my right side. He tightly held my hand for his moral support.

"Relax. Everything is fine." He whispers and I nodded to agree.

"Mrs. Hedley. I'm afraid to tell that you're experiencing infertility. We need to wait for a few more weeks to confirm." May halong lungkot sa boses niya. She's my ob-gyn at isa siya sa kilala at tiwalang doktor.

Nanlamig ako at lalong natakot. Please tell me I can still bear a child. Please. "What do you mean doc?"

"Well I understand that your period are back to normal at nakatulong ang mga gamot sayo. But I also noticed that you're underweight hija, and that's also one of the reasons kaya hirap ka mabuntis."

I looked down. It's my fault and I'm aware of my imbalance diet. Busy din ako sa shop since I pursue my fashion designing plus I'm also a part of the company, kaya pati doon ay may trabaho ako. There are times that I always forgot to eat at hindi tama ang mga kinakain ko.

I realized na kumakain lang ako ng maayos whenever we go out for a date. Kagaya ngayon, huling kumain ako ng matino ay noong kasal pa ni Jake which is two days ago pa.

"Try to eat healthy while still waiting for the final results. We will undergo more tests and I need the two of you to cooperate." We looked at each other questionably. Ang alam ko, sakin lang naman ang my problema. My husband is healthy.

"What do I need to do?" Maagap niyang tanong. I know how much he's longing for a child at ganoon din ako. At masakit na ako ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ito mabuo.

"Please try to quit smoking. I know it's hard Caleb but it also affects the lining of uterus, making implantation issue." Smoking has been an issue for the past years. He never smoke before pero nag simula lang siya kung kailan kinasal na kami at hawak na niya ang kompanya. He really changed.

Hindi ko alam kung pinaiikot ikot lang ba kami ni doktora. I know there's still a small chance na mabuntis ako, pero sana lang hindi niya ko pinapaasa sa wala. She can go straight to the point.

"Then what if, after we tried everything.. it still doesn'work? Hindi parin ako mabuntis. What does it mean doc?" I asked worriedly. After all those years, I thought I'm living a healthy life. Masyado akong nag pakasiguro kahit wala namang history ng infertility sa pamilya namin.

"Then you are diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Which is a disorder that reduces the ovaries ability to mature and release eggs. I suggest you to consult a nutritionist too. Do everything habang kaya pang agapan."

I want to cry and make my self believe that it's not true. Pero pinili kong kalmahin ang sarili ko.

"Then hindi na kami mag kakaanak? Yun ba gusto mong sabihin?" Caleb asked horribly. Parang bangungot na malaman na posibleng hindi kami maging isang pamilya.

"We can try in a scientific way. A test tube baby probably. But to tell you frankly, Malaki ang magagastos niyo and there's a big chance that we'll fail the first attempt. Pwede naman natin paulit ulitin ang tests hanggang sa makabuo. But like what I've said, you'll waste a lot of money."

We really need to talk about this. I was advised na mag consult sa doctor ko regularly, lalo na ngayon na mag uundergo pa ko ng maraming tests. There's no point of being afraid.
