Mon Chéri

2 months later...

I frown looking at my stomach in the dress I'm wearing. It looks bloated..and my boobs are bigger. I shrug it off as I've been eating more recently so its probably that. Tonight me and Tish are going out for a meal with the other teachers at nevermore as an end of the school year celebration.

Morticia steps out of the bathroom putting on some earrings. "Can we go now..im starving" I whine out walking over to her. She laughs slightly nodding at me "just let me put my shoes on then we may go mon cheri". I nod and I rush down the stairs. I go outside and I sit in the car whilst munching on some sweets Tish put in the door for me.

We get to the restaurant finally with me in a mood since I'm more hungry. We walk in and everyone is already sat down. Morticia smiles at them as we sit down next to morticia. "Hi...and hi nyx" Larissa says to us which recieves a hum as I grab the menu. I here  Tish sigh "Sorry about her..shes a bit hangry aren't you amour".

My head spins to look at my wife as I shout "shut up!" at her. Her eyes widen as her nails dig into my thigh. I slap her hand off instead of submitting to her like I normally do. I look back at the menu and I look over the many foods.

I try to ignore my wife as she leans over to me. Her lips press against my neck moving up to my ear before she whispers "loose the attitude or your ass will be so sore you can't sit down for the rest of the month". I roll my eyes as I spit out "bite me".

The waiter comes over and I smile at him. Everyone tells him their order until it finally gets to me "I'll.. have the steak and mash..oh and..can you add chips with that?". The waiter nods and leaves.

After a while of silence the silence is broken by a history teacher "Nyx Morticia how are you kids?..how old are they now?". I smile "they are 5 and 1 and they...are amazing. Hubert is talking and running around..his favorite word at the moment is dog which he shouts at every dog we see. Raven is in kindergarten and she loves drawing and painting and jumping nthe bed in the morning".

"They sound amazing. Are you excited for that little one?" He asks pointing yo my stomach. My smile drops as I glare at him "I am not pregnant.". I watch as he trys to stutter out an apology which I ignore.

I feel morticias hand on my thigh as people break out into separate conversations. I take it off once again making her sigh however a smile forms on her face when I keep hold of her hand instead of shoving it away. I play with the rings she is wearing before resting my elbows on the table and putting the back of her hand to my mouth.

I can't help but smile when I pull away after leaving a dark hickey on her hand. "Nyx!" Tish scolds quietly. I smile at her before kissing her gently "you didnt think I'd forgiven you did you?". "Do you even remember what I did?" She questions. I look at her for a few seconds before shaking my head "no...but I'm mad!".

Food finally arrives and I smile as my steak is places down. My smile soon fades when the waiter speaks "we removed the alcoholic dressing that is usually placed over the steak for you ma'am since your pregnant". My smile drops as I mutter "I'm not pregnant". The waiter looks at me shocked as he quickly apologises "I'm so sorry..I just thought..im so sorry". I watch as he walks away quickly.

I look down at my stomach in confusion before looking at my wife "Am I fat?". Tish hesitates slightly before she shakes her head at me "no! Why would you say that?". I stay silent as I start to pick at my chips. Was morticia lying? Maybe I have put on weight since I have been eating more.

I feel tears filling my eyes as I get up excusing myself. I go to the bathroom and I sit in a stall as I start to cry. My own wife thinks I'm fat..and everyone else probably think the same since they keep saying im pregnant...which im not..surely. I had the abortion and im 99% sure that it worked..I mean...most do don't they?

I step out of the stall and I stand at the sink to wash the mascara from my face. I look down at my stomach as I feel a small fluttering feeling..which also could be described as kicking. I start to feel nauseous as the realisation hits me. It didn't work. I'm still pregnant. I'm still pregnant with..her baby.

I rush out of the bathroom and to the table. I fake a smile as I pick up my things "Sorry I have to go early..something to do with one of the kids falling ill". Morticia starts to stand up and I shake my head at her "no you can stay..I've got it. Have fun honey". She watches as I leave without kissing her goodbye.

I drive straight to the doctors office where I was given the pills for the abortion and where i have went for my last few pregnancies. I catch her just as she is leaving her office and turning the lights off for the night "it didn't work..your stupid pills didn't work!". The doctor turns around and her face drops at the sight of me..still pregnant "I am..so sorry. This has never happened to me before nyx".

I scoff slightly "well get rid of it!". She sighs signing herself out on a notepad "it's not that simple...your.. I wanna say about 16 or 17 weeks along. You would need a different procedure and you would need sedating..and even then there are more risks.". I don't say anything as I walk out and I go to my car. I get in my car and I rest my head on the wheel before moving back and slamming my hands against it repeatedly "FUCK FUCK FUCK!".

I leave the carpark and I go back home where I sit on the sofa waiting for my wife all night. But she never turns up. I try to call her but she never answers. I end up falling asleep still in my uncomfortable dress and heels.
