Forever and always

Chapter thirty-five

Olivia's pov:

December 2021

"Pregnant? Are you sure?" I asked, I was speechless. "Very sure, it came back hundred percent positive" the doctor said. "Alright, thanks for calling me" I said, then we set up an appointment for me to get checked again.. And then we said our goodbyes.

As we hung up the phone I was left with a weird feeling, I didn't know what to do with myself. Where do I go from here, what do I say to Charles and how far along am I!?

I guess everything made sense now, my stomach pain and nausea. The sudden need of a midday nap, and the constant need to eat something. I'm really pregnant, what..

After a few hours I had gone to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test just to see for myself, I took it and immediately after five minutes it was clearly positive. So here I was, standing with a positive pregnancy test in my hands, not knowing if Charles or even I want to proceed with this, am I really ready to be someone's mother? Well I guess I am?.

"Hey love, where are you?" Charles called out for me, as he stepped inside the apartment after being away almost all day with his brothers. I quickly hid the test, and walked out of the bathroom. "Hi babe" I said and pulled him into a hug. "What's wrong?" he asked and looked at me, of course he could see that something was wrong.

"Nothing" I said, since I didn't know how to tell him. "I know you, somethings up? tell me" he said and sat down on the couch, which I did too.

"The doctor called," I said and looked down. "She did, already? What did she say, are you alright?" he asked worriedly, while taking my hand. I looked at him and I didn't know how to say it, but the words just flew out of my mouth. "I'm-..I'm pregnant apparently" I said.

"You are what exactly.." he said and looked shocked and even more speechless than I did.

"Yup! I took a test to see for myself, and it's very much true" I said, looking at him. He didn't smile or anything, this must be a bad sign.

"Wow, so what do we do from here?" he asked, not really knowing what to say. "I have no idea, are we ready to be parents so soon?" I asked. "I don't know, I need some time to think" he said and looked down, while he was still holding my hand..

We didn't talk much after, Charles went out to get some air and think about everything, which left me alone in the apartment, with so many thoughts running around in my head..

I sat down not knowing what to do, so I texted my best friend since I really wanted to talk about this with someone, and since Charles left I had no one else.

Olivia:

Hey Danny, are you in Monaco? I could really need you right now?

Daniel:

Hey Livia, I will be later this evening. What's wrong?<3

Olivia:

Are you alone, if so can you maybe facetime me then?

A few seconds later my phone rang, and I picked up right away. "Livia hey!!" Daniel said, smiling big as always. "Hey Danny, where are you?" I asked while sending a little smile back. "I'm in London now, but I'm flying to Monaco in a few hours".. "Alright, so ehm, there's something I have to say" I said and a little tear rolled down my cheek.

"Oh no, what is it?" he asked and changed into a more worried tone. "So you remember I have been feeling sick and all that, right?".. "Yeah?" he nodded.. "So it turns out I'm pregnant, and I don't know what to do" I said almost to shed another tear.
