I walk outside the bathroom , my face pale from all the throwing up

Perla looks at your pale face and immediately knows something's wrong. "Valentina, the test?" She asks, her voice softening with concern. "You didn't..." She trails off, watching you closely.

"I didn't look yet , I couldnt"

sits you down carefully on the bed Perla takes a deep breath, her doctor instincts kicking in again. "Listen, we'll do this together, ok? Either way - positive or negative - I'm here. Now let's look at the test."

"You look before me"

"Fine, I'll look," she says, taking the test from your shaking hands. She looks at the results, her heart pounding in her chest. She closes her eyes briefly before turning back to you, her expression serious. "Valentina...

Seeing the positive result on the test, Perla takes a deep breath before meeting your gaze. "It's positive, Valentina." She watches as the emotions play across your face - fear, excitement, anxiety. "You're pregnant." She says it out loud, making it real.

Fear made my heart race.
* Excitement sent my heart soaring.
* Anxiety made my heart pound.I nod while zoning out
" you mean the one night stand , Mr.One night stand is the father of MY babies?" I say

keeps your hand in hers "Let's just focus on what's important here. When was your last period?" Perla asks professionally, already calculating in her head "We need to get you an ultrasound to determine how far along you are. Have you been experiencing any morning sickness?"

"Last time u got my period was over a week ago , and yes for the past 5 days I've had morning sickness" I say

Nods knowingly "Okay, morning sickness is a common symptom, especially in the first trimester. How about any cravings or aversions to certain foods?" She continues with the gentle questioning while maintaining her supportive touch "And have you felt any changes in your breast?"

"Tenderness " I say

"That's another common symptom. Your body is going through a lot of changes right now." Perla gives you a reassuring smile "I'll make an appointment for you with a trusted OB/GYN. In the meantime, listen to your body and rest as much as you need to." Says Perla

as if feeling Cedric's presence "Cedric's here. He must've come looking for you when he noticed you were upset earlier." Her hand still gently holding yours "Would you like him to come in? Or should I tell him you need some privacy?" Asks Perla

" I don't know" I say can't handling the urge to place a hand on my slight slight bump

understanding your uncertainty "It's okay, you don't have to decide right now. Let's take this one step at a time." Perla stands up and walks over to the door, opening it slightly "Cedric, can you come in for a moment?"

Cedric enters, his eyes scanning your face worriedly. He can tell something's wrong. Perla closes the door behind him and gestures for him to sit next to you on the couch. "Cedric, sit down." She says firmly.

"What did I do now?" Says cedric with a smirk , not knowing that the woman infront him is carrying his babbies.

Perla watches as Cedric takes a seat next to you, his smirk annoying her. She sits back down beside you, preparing to drop a bomb on Cedric "Cedric, you need to listen very carefully to what I'm about to tell you."

"I'm not deaf , what have you got for me?"

Perla takes a deep breath, her expression serious "Cedric, she's pregnant." She says bluntly, watching his reaction closely. Her expression hardens "And before you ask, yes, the babies are yours."
