After hours

Chapter 6

Oh my god.

I have to tell Jacob.

I don't know if I want a human growing in my body. I am not ready for this responsibility! I have to call Jacob.

"Babe, come over as soon as possible," im freaking out! my subconscious adds.

"Is everything all right?"

"I don't know, just hurry please."

"O-Okay I'll be there in a few."

How was I going to tell him? Oh yeah Jacob we used to date in high school. Then my parents died and we sorta broke up. Now we work at the same place. I  still really love you, by the way I'm having your baby.

"i'm going to go okay, just don't freak out in sure everything will be fine. You've known him forever and you love him and he loves you. It'll work out in the end okay?" Alyssa says.

"Okay, okay. Thank you. Ill call you later", i say and she leaves.

"Okay, Evi you sounded really freaked out on the phone, what's wrong?" Jacob asks walking through the door.

I take a long deep breath, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. "I know why I've been sick."

"What, why?"

"I'm pregnant."

Jacob's POV

Oh, my, god. I'm going to be a father. She stands there staring at me.

"Oh god." she runs to the bathroom, and I run after her.

"Evi I'm so sorry." I hold back her hair while she throws up. Why was so throwing up so much?

"I'm so sorry Jacob, what are we going to do?" She cries.

"Don't be sorry baby. I think you have hyperemesis gravidarum, you need some medicine to make you stop throwing up everything you eat."

"I'm so scared," she sobs into my chest. I pull her close and she rests her head in the crook of my neck.

"Don't be scared, we are going to be excellent parents. You are going to be the best mom to our baby. I love you so much, i never stopped loving you. Everything is going to be okay."

Evangelina's POV

Jacob takes me back to the hospital with him and had me get my blood drawn, just to be sure.

Yep, I'm pregnant.

This is so overwhelming! Why, why, why!

How are we going to raise a child on our work schedules?! We aren't even married!

What is Jacobs mom going to think about this? She always hated me. Always wanted Jacob to breakup with me back then.

The OBG/YN prescribs me medicine for the throwing up, and said it would kick in immediately and I'm free to go back to work.

"I'll see you later, okay? Be careful," he tells me. "Don't exhaust yourself."

"I don't think that's possible. I'm in the ER today," i sigh.

"I'll get you transferred to my service today."

"No, I'll be fine. I don't want people thinking you're playing favorites."

"Well, I kinda am. You know, now that you have my baby inside you and all," he jokes, a smile playing on his lips.

"Okay, shut up. I'll be fine. Alyssa is with me. She can take over if I feel sick."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too."

"Don't say too, it makes me think you're just agreeing with me."

"Okay, I love you." He kisses me on the forehead and goes in the opposite direction.

Just as i'm about to leave the room, the Doctor comes back in.

"Are you an intern?"

"Yes. I'm an intern. Why do you ask?"

"Well, isn't it strictly prohibited to date co-workers?"

"Oh, get over yourself. This is not an episode of Grey's Anatomy," i roll my eyes.

"We have incoming traumas, eight people, two minutes out!" The head of trauma surgery yells so loud, I think I burst an eardrum.

"Alyssa cover me." I half whisper and run to the bathroom closest to me.

"Good lord. Evi are you okay?"

"Yep, the sight of blood kinda made me queasy for a second. I'm good."

"Oh, really what happens if you called into surgery? Huh, what are you gonna do then?"

"Tell them to give it to you?" She raises an eyebrow at me. "Alright, I don't know! That stupid OB said the medicine would be working by now."

"Well it's not. I think you should tell the head of trauma you're sick."

"No way! That guy scares the crap out of me!"

"Really? I think he's kind of cute."

"Please, just don't get pregnant," i say and she laughs.

I end up getting caught throwing up and am sent home for the rest of the day.

There's nothing to do at my house so I just watch episode, after episode of Friends.

At 21:30 on the dot, there's a knock on my door. I open the door and Jacob walks in.

"Hey, I heard you got sent home."

"Yeah, that medicine is starting to kick in now though."

"That's good." He's stalling.

"Jacob, what are we gonna do?"

"Well, I want you to move in with me. I want us to get married. I want to be apart of this baby's life." He pauses before saying. "I'm not going to leave you again."

"Before we do any of that, you know we have to tell your mother right?"

"Yeah, about that. Why don't we just not tell her."

"How do you not tell your mother you're having a baby? She'll find out somehow and then I'll never hear the end of it. We better just tell her."

"I'll tell her. By myself."

"I knew that woman always hated me."

"Well. . ."

"Hey!" I say playfully hitting his arm.

Oh my god, it's finally setting in. I'm going to have a baby.
