Life Changing

Chapter 61

Emily had trouble sleeping that night. She wondered if she was doing the right thing. She finally decided to stop tossing and turning and got up at six o'clock in the morning. Sam woke up two hours later. He went down into the kitchen. Emily was cleaning it.

"Em." Sam said. She turned to face him.

"Morning sweetheart." "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Emily how long have you been awake?"

"Two hours."

"Did you sleep?"

"A couple hours."

"Come here."

"What?"

"Just come here." She went over to him. He hugged her. She started to cry. "It's ok."

"I'm miserable." She said through her tears.

"I know." "I'll be with you the whole time, I promise."

"Mommy what's wrong?" Penelope asked coming into the kitchen.

"Nothing." She said letting go of Sam and drying her eyes. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"I'll make breakfast." Sam said. "You go in the living room and sit down."  "What do you want?"

"Just coffee."

That afternoon Emily and Sam were at the doctor sitting in the waiting room. Sam took Emily's hand.

"It's alright." Sam said. "No matter what, I love you."

"I know." "I love you too."

The nurse came out.

"Emily Ratsch?" She said.

Sam stood up. "Ready?" He asked.

"Sam I-I can't." "I'm still unsure about this pregnancy but I can't do this."

"I'll go tell the doctor." The nurse said.

"It's ok." Sam said sitting back down and hugged Emily. "We can keep the baby."

The nurse came back out.

"The doctor would still like to see you." She said.

Emily and Sam went back to the doctor's office.

"Hi." Emily the doctor said from behind her desk.

"Hi."

"Please sit down." They sat down. "So, you've decided to keep the baby?"

"Yes but I don't want to get to attached to it in case something happens." "So I don't want any sonogram pictures, or to hear the heartbeat, or to know if it's a boy or a girl."

"Ok." "I'm going to give you some pre-natal vitamins."

"Ok."

Emily and Sam were driving home. Sam was driving.

"I don't want to tell anyone about the baby until we have to." "I know I have to tell work and I have to tell Amy because I already told her about the baby." "I don't even want to tell Penelope."

"Eventually she will notice."

"That's when we'll tell her."
