Chapter 42
I don't know what happened that I ended up waking up in a hospital wearing a hospital gown and what made me more surprised is that I saw my dad here but I'm pretty sure that I'm not in the Philippines.
Dad looked younger than the last time I saw him.
"Anak! Salamat sa diyos at gising kana!"
Dad hugged me even when I'm still lying here with dextrose in my wrist or something, whatever you call it. He hugged me tightly that I almost couldn't breathe! Gosh! He's really here? I'm not dreaming? Since when did he come?!
Does he already know about it?! does he already know that....I'm pregnant? Did Bianca tell him about it already? When? Since when did he know?
I'm getting more anxious because dad wasn't saying a word at all while still hugging me. I'm afraid that he's mad at me, I don't want to disappoint him. I don't want him to think more of something that can just add up his stress.
"Dad---
"Shhh...it's okay, it's okay. I know already," hinagod niya 'yong likod ko at nagsimula na akong maiyak.
"I'm sorry---
"Shhh...don't cry. It's not good for you, it's not for the baby," he let go of me and wiped the tears in my eyes nodding his face saying that's he's not mad at all.
"Veronica, anak. Tahan na, andito na ako hindi kita pababayaan. Tahan na, anak" pinapatahan ako ni Daddy.
But still, I couldn't help it. I couldn't help but shed in tears and cry myself out because I feel so disappointed in myself that this baby that I have inside my womb is CJ's which is from the blood of mom's mistress and I don't know what will I do now.
I'm starting to get confused but still, I have to make sure that I am pregnant. I have to hear it from the doctor. I have to hear it from the doctor for me to make sure that the pregnancy test is accurate. But I'm really nervous thinking that I have a chance that I am pregnant because he was once unprotected with me and it was the last one.
Speaking of the devil, the doctor came into my room so my dad had to stand up. She closed the door and came near to us wearing that smile looks like she's the happiest in this room.
"I have good news to tell you, Ms. Enriquez,"
Oh no.
"Congratulations, you're 5 weeks pregnant,"
Feels like all the strength in my body when I heard what the doctor said. Turns out, it was true. I'm pregnant. Feels like my world crashed when I heard that I'm pregnant for real. I don't know how to react but I cannot be happy either. I'm not ready for this. I'm capable of taking care of another person, I cannot be a mother.
Also, I still have a career to build. How am I going to that now? I'm pregnant and I'm sure I cannot apply for a job because of this. I will not be able to achieve my career because of this that's why I'm confused about what should I do right now that I'm already pregnant.
"One of your family members said that you just passed out and I'm glad that you were taken here early because it might harm your pregnancy because your body is sensitive. You have to be careful but other than that, you are stable now and you can go home the next day after tomorrow. I will recommend you to constantly visit the hospital for Prenatal and within the second or third trimester, you will know the gender of your baby. You can come here anytime if you have a concern. Is this your first pregnancy?" she asked.
Oh, so I passed out kaya pala ako andito. What's even funny is that I can't even remember that I passed out. That's why I'm here.
"Y-yes, it's my first pregnancy, doc," I said and she nodded.
