Days had passed since Sidharth made his confession and he felt that she was still in her bubble, even if she pretend that everthing was fine. He felt restless, he thought have done the maximum to ease her guilt, but it seemed that she had to get out alone from her chain, he decided to never put any pressure on her and to wait until she decided to open up to him. They always talked about everything, but this pregnancy had increased the distance between them, Shehnaaz was slipping away from his hands and he didn't know what to do. It cost him a lot to look at her being sad, but he can't force her to talk or to accept her fate, the key was inside her and he will only stay by her side, always and when she needed him.
His first result didn't show any abnormality, so Nisha suggested him to go to the specialist, who will help him for the next step. He did not know what to expect from this visit, if tests confirm that he has nothing and that the problem could come from her, he didn't know how to handle it, should he lie to her to protect her? Or tell her the truth so that she can turn the page? He was anxious and totally depressed for the outcomes. He waited in this room, like a statue and his mind tried different scenario, and no one of them satisfied him. They tried for 1 year and it was just the beginning, but her fears caught him slowly and he needed to be fix.
- Sidharth?
He looked up and she was here, but how, he though
- Shehnaaz?
-what are you doing here, Sidharth? She was stunned to see him here, she was supposed to meet the specialist and Nisha did all the test and took the appointment, did she also call him without telling her?
-I.., he gulped, he didn't expect to see her, Nisha was supposed to keep it secret from her, did she reveal everything?
Both stood up in front of each other, awkward and silent. Both of them now knows it was Nisha's plan but they didn't know how and why. Their moment was interrupted by the doctor
-Mr and Mrs Baig?
-Yes, both replied
-follow me, please
Sidharth waved at Shehnaaz to go on first and she just nodded timidely at him, she looked up in misery, she didn't want him to go with her, what if the news was bad? She didn't want him to be hurt? Sidharth closed his eyes totally anguished, he was supposed to face it alone, he just prayed that it will be fine for both of them and no matter the result, he just wanted to be easy for her first.
-have a sit, please
Both sat nervously avoiding to look at each other, but they were hooked to up coming doctor's speech.
-well Mrs and Mr Baig, you first result didn't show any abnormalities for both, both smiled relieved at each other and they held each other hand. So I need to know more about you, first, I will start with the lady, he smiled at her, he could sense her nervosity, he was used to see couple in distress and he knows how to relax them. So Mrs Baig, can you tell me since when you and your husband are trying?
-One year, she looked at Sidharth and he nodded
-and since when did you stop your contraceptive and for how long did you take them?
-I only took them during our first year of marriage and I stopped them year ago now
-ok, and how was your period before and after the contraceptive, were they regular? Were they long, abundant?
-well, they were regular and lasts between 5 to 7 days depending on the month, sometimes, I have delay of one or two weeks, and it happened only two times this year but now, it's ok.
-during this delay, did you notice that they were different, I mean the color, aspect, something new.
Shehnaaz tried to recall, looking in her memory, those two moment, she thought that she was pregnant and she was shattered when days later, she saw her period.
