Illegal Lover

Chapter 3

It has been a few weeks since I went and told Ethan about the Pregnancy and we have been out on a few dates, in an attempt to get to know each other better. I can see the hesitancy in his eyes every time he looks at me, but he has been making an effort to help me any way he can. A tiny bump has started to form but if you ask me it just looks like I ate a big lunch all the time. It has finally been long enough to where a paternity test can be done and today is that day. I am a little nervous as my fear of needles is definitely high on my fear list but I guess I should have thought about that before getting a tiny human put into my uterus. I take a quick shower and get dressed in a pair of leggings and a t-shirt throwing my hair in a messy bun. I attempt to eat some toast for breakfast However the morning sickness kicks in and the thought of any food makes me nauseous. Slightly frustrated I throw on some flip flops and make my way to the address of the Dr Ethan sent to me. When I pull up there no other cars are in the lot except the same red Tesla from the night Ethan and I met. I get out of my car and Ethan gets out of his walking over to me.

"Are you ready?" He asks.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I reply.

We both make our way to the front of the office building and Ethan opens the door with a Key. He leads me through the empty waiting room and into the back.

"Hi Everlee, Ethan are we ready?" The Dr asks.

I nod my head and Ethan answers. "Yes we are ready."

"Okay Everlee why don't you sit down?" Sam says pointing the reclining chair in the room.

I sit down and Sam rolls my shirt up. "So first I am going to numb a little part of your stomach and then I am going to insert this needle into the amniotic sac and collect a sample. Then we will take that and compare it to the DNA from Ethan. Sounds good?" He explains.

"Yeah. I'm just going to look away if that's okay, I am not a fan of needles." I reply looking anywhere but Ethan. He seems like someone who doesn't have any fears and here I am afraid of a tiny needle.

"Don't worry about it at all. Go ahead and just lay back and relax. Everything will be done before you know it. You should take it easy for the next few days, though do you have someone at home that can help take care of you?" He asks.

"Yes my-" I start but Ethan cuts me off.

"She will be staying with me for the next few days." He stated.

I stare at Ethan "As I was saying I have a friend who I can stay with." I state frustration lacing my tone.

"I want to make sure you are okay Everlee so you will be coming home with me understand." He practically demands, causing my frustration to rise.

"Ethan, I can take care of myself I don't need someone watching over me 24/7 and I live with someone who knows of my situation and is perfectly capable of helping me." I talk back.

"I have already spoken to her and informed her that you are going to be staying with me."

I huff in frustration confused as to when he called her. I know he's not going to drop this until I give in and this just seems like a small battle, not worth fighting over, So for my sake and his I drop it. The Dr starts the procedure and once he is all done, he bandages me up and rolls my shirt back down.

"Okay your all set I should have the results sometime within the next 24 hours." The Sam says.

"Thank you Sam." Ethan thanks.

Sam walks out of the room and Ethan helps me up off the table. 

"Do I really have to go with you to your house?" I ask frustration in my tone.
