Chapter 40.

Today I had an day off because I had an appointment with my gynecologist, it was just a regular checkup. Afterwards I wanted to go shopping because Ryder's birthday was soon.

I had already put an reservation for the two of us in his favourite restaurant here, and I was now planning on buying him a nice watch and get some new lingerie because I knew how much he loved lingerie on my body.

His old watch broke, so if was the perfect opportunity. Right now I am sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office, two bags in my hand as I had already taken care of Ryder's present.

I hummed as I looked at the paintings on the wall, getting bored because of the long waiting times. After a while I finally got called in, and I smiled at my doctor as she smiled back at me.

"So let's get you all checked up, shall we?" She said and I smiled at her while nodding.

At first she scanned my breasts for any kind of knots under my skin, and then I needed to take off my pants and underwear so I could sit down on the chair and she could check up my womanhood.

As she made a scan from my lower abdomen, to check if my uterus was okay, she suddenly looked suprised and then a smile formed on her face.

"Congratulations Ms. Smith, you're pregnant." She smiled and my smile dropped as I looked at her in disbelief.

"Wha-what?" I asked her and then she looked insecure as she pointed at the monitor, her finger pointing at a small thingy that didn't look like a baby at all.

"That's your baby, it's early so you can't really see it yet. Are you currently in a relationship or...?" She looked at me, and I nodded.

"Did you and your partner plan to get pregnant?" She asked and I sighed while shaking my head.

"I think I know when it was, I should be in my sixth week now." I said as I dropped my face in my hands, trying my best to not start crying.

"I will give you a moment to let it sink in and get dressed. But I can already tell you that your baby is healthy." She said before leaving and I inhaled deeply before quickly pulling on my panties and pants.

After I had a short talk with my doctor again, I quickly left the office and made my way towards my car, sitting down as I just stared out the window.

"I am pregnant." I said it out loud, still not being able to believe it, even though I saw it on the scan. I took out the ultrasound images, staring at it.

But my pregnancy test was negative..?

I didn't even realise that I started crying again, till I saw the wet drops on my jeans. I closed my eyes and leaned my forehead against the steering wherl, crying silently as I couldn't believe it.

How am I supposed to tell him?

After half and hour I had gotten myself mostly under control again, and I made my way home. I grabbed my cup of ice cream from the freezer before making my way into our bedroom, eating the ice cream as I stared at the wall.

And without realising it, I started crying again.

And Ryder found me like that, crying while eating ice cream and staring at the wall.

"Mi amor, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly, his smile immediately dropping when he saw me, dropping everything onto the ground before he made his way towards me to the bed, dropping onto his knees next to the bed.

"Baby?" His voice was soft, but I couldn't answer him as I started to sob, seeing him now made the fact that I had to tell him seem more real. It made the whole situation more real, and I couldn't handle it.
