Wife of fortune

Chapter 29

1 week later

We're back in New York for a quick two day overlay before we go to Iceland. And I've managed to get an doctors appointment her as I'm 10 weeks today and I have to go in for a checkup.

Malika is with me and the guys think we're out shopping but actually I'm sitting in the chair again waiting for the doctor to come inside and do a scan.

Today is the day I need to make the decision of what I'm going to do. Malika has been great support I've been nervous all morning.

"Hey Kate, how are we feeling today?" The doctors walks in with a map with documents under his arm and is putting on gloves. "I luckily got to transfer your medical history from your doctor in Italy just in time" she says and goes to sit by the computer.

The assistant turns off the lights and Malika is holding my hand as the gel is being put on my stomach and then she starts the exam. She measures the baby and tells me that everything is looking great. She prints out a couple of pictures again and shows me a better formed bean now.

"Now, let's hear the heartbeat" she says and not even a second later she turns on the sound and a fast heartbeat is heard all over the room and I'm immediately brought to tears. And it's the best sound I've ever heard, my heart squeezes and there's butterflies in my stomach and in that moment I know, that I won't give up this baby.

The tears stream down my face and the doctors passes me an napkin and tells me that the heartbeat sounds great. She also looks over my previous blood work and says that everything is perfect and after 30 minutes of rapid questions I'm sent home.

And now I'm sitting in the parking lot with Malika and I'm look in at the pictures she gave me and there's not a second thought in my head. This baby is mine and I'm not giving up.

"Even I teared up" Malika says and she looks at the pictures in my hands.

"I'm gonna do this Malika" I say to her and she smiled "I'm happy for you, you're gonna be the best mom" she says and gives me a hug.

Now the only thing I need to do is tell Grayson. But how? Maybe I'm not gonna do it today. Malika pulls out of the driveway and we go to a cafe and have some lunch and after we go shopping.

Now that I've taken this big step there's still so many unresolved questions in my head. Like how is this going to affect our life, and where would I have the baby, and where would I live and on top of all that, this makes the will void, which means that Grayson gets everything. And I get my grandfathers hotels.

Me and Malika get back and we get packing as we're leaving for Iceland next morning. My doctor did say it's safe for me to travel if I'm feeling okay and I'm taking all my medicine so I'm not too stressed but in a couple of weeks we won't be travel anymore so I'm worried.

This time to Iceland is also coming our family, just like they came to Hawaii, and I'm excited to see everyone and see Bianca and Trevor and talk to my mom and get advice.

But I've totally forgot with the pregnancy and the will about my father. About the letters, the weird phone call, how my siblings are worried. And I can't shake this feeling that he's up to something.

"You're back" Grayson says and I jump, I hadn't noticed him come inside the bedroom.

"You scared me" I say sitting down and trying to catch my breath.

"Sorry" he says and I watch as he puts his jacket down and goes into the closet and after a minute comes out in just underwear and sweatpants.

He comes to kiss me and I kiss him back but then push him away "wait, Grayson" I say and he stops "I need to show you something".
