Insatiable Desire

Chapter#21

I stepped out of the bathroom knowing the results already. The doctor looked at the strip and spoke.

"You are pregnant." He smiled but the smile faded when he saw my face.

I think he knew that it was not a good news for me.

"Doctor please do not tell him. Please. I. . I will tell him myself. Please. I just need some time." I requested and simply pleaded.

"It's okay, I won't tell if you insist. But this sure seems like a more than two pregnancy. Have you had your periods?" He asked scribbling something onto the paper.

Oh shit! I thought it was same old hormone shit.

I started to finally remember that I was so occupied by Skylar and his mood that I didn't even bother much with myself. Last week I had given a though but though that my periods were late.

"No doctor I haven't from last two months and not yet. They were due last week." I informed twiddling with my thumbs.

"This sure is a pregnancy. I have written down some vitals for your pregnancy." He stood up.

"Doctor please." I spoke.

"I won't but you can't hide this thing for long. There need to be regular tests and next month or two, your belly starts growing out." He informed me.

The fear was at its peek and I wanted it all to be a nightmare. It wasn't.

"You should at least get the tests done tomorrow." He said.

"But I can't tell him yet so what should I say?" I asked as tears pricked my eyes.

"Let me think." The doctor spoke and that's when Skylar entered having the grave to knock before.

I looked horrified at the doctor and then at Skylar.

"What's wrong?" Skylar asked concerned.

"It the weakness. Inappropriate diet. Though I've written down the medicines so you need to really take care of her from now." The doctor handed the slip in his hands.

"I will." Skylar assured him.

"Yes, I would also recommend you to have some tests. Just to confirm that this thing isn't very serious you know." The doctor said casually.

"Serious?" Skylar spoke worriedly glancing at me.

"You can visit my clinic tomorrow in the morning." He said.

"I will. Definitely." He said still worried.

"Ten in the morning." The doctor spoke looking at me.

"Sure." Skylar spoke and opened the door as they walked.

"Thank you doctor, for everything." I spoke.

He nodded in response and smiled at me. Finally both of them left the room. Tears were now falling from my eyes and I was trembling. I wrapped the duvet around me and lied down sobbing for minutes.

After an hour or so, Skylar returned holding a tray in his hands.

"Ella." He spoke softly as he put the tray on side.

I looked at him and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"You've been crying. I won't scold you." He said helping me sit up.

I stayed quiet and he handed me the pills.

"Take these then you'll have to finish this too." He gestured towards the steaming bowl of soup in the tray.
