The background dancer [Martinus Gunnarsen]

Text

Marcus: Malin, wake up!

I felt Marcus lightly shaking me, I opened my eyes and, yes, it was Marcus. I yawned and rubbed my eyes, I looked besides me and Martinus was no longer there, did he wake up early or something?

Malin: where's Martinus?

Marcus: he went somewhere early in the morning, he said that he'd be back by the time you wake up, but he isn't.

He shrugged and helped me out of the bed.

Marcus: get dressed and I'll be waiting for you downstairs.

I nodded my head, I put on some sweatpants and a hoodie, and went downstairs.

Malin: no breakfast?

Marcus: before a test you can't have breakfast, I'm sorry, I would've made some, but you just can't.

After a 20 minute car ride we finally made it to the doctors. We went in the hospital and straight to the doctor.

Doctor: so what seems to be the problem...

Malin: Malin, Malin Fagerholm.

Doctor: Malin, what is the problem?

Malin: like, I've been feeling sick, yesterday I threw up and basically just felt really bad, my stomach was also cramping.

Doctor: Marcus? Will you exit the room please? I have to do some tests and then we'll let you guys both know.

The doctor did a few tests and then let me go, finally.

Marcus: so what is it?

He asked while we were walking out of the hospital and back to his car.

Malin: don't know, I gave him my phone number and he said that he'll text me about what it is.

Marcus: how many days could that be?

Malin: he said up to a week.

Marcus nodded and we got in his car, I had been looking out of the window for the whole car ride, nothing interesting.
Finally, back at their house, I'm so exhausted, I went upstairs, into Martinus' room and just feel on the bed, right as I was about to fall asleep somebody came into the room.

Martinus: did I wake you?

Malin: yes.

Martinus:I'm so so sorry!

He came over to me and placed a kiss on my forehead.

Martinus: how are you feeling?

Malin: the same.

Martinus: Awhh, I'm sorry.

Malin: it's okey, there's nothing you can do.

...

The week has already almost passed and no Text from the doctor... weird. Right as I was thinking that, I got a notification on my phone, speak of the devil, the doctor sent me a text! Finally, what took so long!

(Doctor)

Doctor: I have news for you, the test results came back in and it seems like you are just pregnant, no Covid nor anything else, just pure 100% pregnant.

I looked at my screen in terror, Pregnant?! How could have this happened? Then I remembered, that one night a few weeks back, but doesn't that mean I'm like 2 or 3 weeks along now? All these things were running though my mind, until disturbed by somebody coming into the room. I looked at the person and it was Marcus.
