Perhaps Love

Chapter 19

"What did you just say?"

I asked Hestia. I am confused. Me? Pregnant? Oh! No!

I look at Dylan, "is that the doctor said? Maybe she's wrong. No! No! I am not!"

"Yes you are!" Dylan shout at me. I was shocked he never raised his voice at me.

"Please Dy! Don't raised your voice, let's not stress her out. Doctor said it's not good to her." Ben said. He looks at me.

"Don't stress yourself. Just take a rest." He told me.

"You didn't answer my question Ate." Hestia is frowning at me.

"Babe, give her a break for a while." Ben sit beside Hestia and tap her shoulder.

I sighed. "I don't know what to say, I..." My tears started to flow. Why this things happening right now to me. I sobbed.

Hestia stands up and hugs me. "Shhhhh. I'm sorry. We'll sort this thing out. Don't worry. I'm here." I cried while she's hugging me.

Suddenly the door opened again and I saw Steven, not too long Carl is behind him. I frowned.

"Why you guys are here?" I asked them.

"They're with us when we brought you here." Dylan sighed, "Maica and Sven too."

"What?" I exclaimed. It means they knew too. Oh! My! It can't be!

"Don't think too much." Steven looks at me as if he knew what I am thinking right now.

"It'll not be good to you and for your baby." Carl added.

I look both of them. Why I feel like they knew things I didn't knew. I look at Dylan.

"Dylan?" I called him.

He sighed before looking at me. He put his two hands up like his admitting his mistake.

"I'm sorry Fran, I got carried away. I lost control. So I punched him. Then when the doctor said, who's the father or who's your partner. Couldn't help myself to tell her to ask Sven."

"What?!" I am so ashamed right now. I look at Hestia, she couldn't look at me. Even Ben. Steven and Carl are looking away too. With that word. Everyone knew what he meant.

Out of frustration I covered my face with my hands. I don't know how to face everyone here. Especially Maica. If I see her. Oh! What have I done?

Everyone is silent now. No one dared to talk. I sighed.

"It's not good for you to be stress ate." Hestia broke the silence. "I know I've asked you a while ago, but it can wait. All that matters now is you and the baby."

"Hestia is right." Steven said, he stand beside my bed.

"Just take a full rest. Don't think of anything. We'll be right here for you." He said.

"Steven is right. For now think of you and the baby. The rest it'll take a while." Carl added. He's standing behind Steven.

Dylan hold my feet as he standing at the end of my bed. "Just listen to us. And I'm really sorry about it. I should have just control myself. I just got worried about you. I called Brenda. She'll be here later."

"Brenda?" Steven asked while raising his left eyebrow?

"Why bro, you know Brenda?" Carl asked him.

"No, why? You know Brenda?" Steven smirked.

Carl laughed. "Hahaha, No I don't know her. But maybe you? Cause you're the one who react, Brenda?" copying the voice of Steven when he asked it.

Steven acts like he will punch Carl.

"Guys, stop that." Ben suppressed them.

"Sorry Fran." Carl apologized.

"That's fine." I sighed. "I'm sorry if I cause any of you a trouble. I'm fine now. You can leave me here."

Steven looks at his wristwatch, "Yeah, we'd better go Carl," he told to Carl.

"Take care Fran. Just give us a call whenever you need something. Hestia, Ben, Dy we'll go first." Steven said and then walks out from my room.

"Take care Fran, get well soon. Bye Hestia, Ben and Dy." Walks out after Steven.

"I'll come back after my duty Fran. I'll go too. Brenda said she's on the way now."

"Okay Dy. Thank you."

"Thank you Dy. Take care."

He nods and tap the shoulder of Ben. Ben just nod.

"Babe, I'll go with Dylan. I'll buy Fran's medicine first."

"Okay Babe." The door closed. It's just me and Ben now.

"Ben." I called Ben. He looks at me, he's sitting at the sofa near to the door.

"Why Fran? Is there anything wrong?" He suddenly stands up and walks near my bed.

"Should I call the doctor?" He panicked when I didn't say anything. He looks at me.

I look away "I don't know what to say to you, I can't face you."

He sighed. "Shhhh, you don't have to say anything to me Fran, I know there's a story behind all this. But we will not force you to say it right now. Don't think anything else, just think about yourself and your baby. Hmmm my nephew or niece?" He smiled at me.

"Thank you, Ben"
