Gary and Libby - Take One

Chapter Thirty Three

"Alright Amanda...Yea, ill be back in Tomorrow...Alright, see you. Bye." I hang up and drop my phone back down onto the sofa. We've just got home, well back to Gary's, no, thats home now isnt it? Anyway, we're back in London, its already dark outside and its only half eight. The winter nights are drawing in rapidly.   "How was she?" Gary smiles, we're snuggled up in bed already, i mean, we did have sex first, but thats not the point. I shake my head."Moaning that i haven't been in for a week." I sigh. "I said id go in tomorrow. Ill go to the doctors in my lunch break.""You sure?" Gary asks, his arm around my shoulder, his fingers tracing my collar bone slightly. "You'll be okay going on your own?""Yea," I smile up at him. "I'll ring you as soon as im out." Gary nods slowly, kissing me gently on the top of the head. A part of me wants him there, all of me in fact, but hes got some really important meeting tomorrow or something, and id rather know sooner rather than later. "Im starving." I laugh, it occurs to me i haven't eaten all day. I pull Garys burgundy T-shirt from under the pillow and pull it on. "Come on, shall i stick a pizza in?" Gary just shrugs, "Id rather you just come back to bed and let me rip that thing off you." He smirks. I shake my head as i drag on mu underwear. "Fine then." I grin. "You can do with out." ***
My heart is racing, my palms sweating, i fidget trying to get comfortable as i sit opposite my GP. I wish id waited and bought Gary with me me now, i really do. She shuffles about with a few pieces of paper before looking up at me."Well." She smiles, Oh for fucks sake woman hurry up. "You're 4 weeks pregnant Miss O'regan." You what?! Shes smiling at me, waiting for me to say something. I dont. Four weeks?! How does that work?! "Pardon?" I choke. Its the only word i could force out of my mouth."Your four weeks pregnant." She repeats. Yep, you heard her right the first time. "B-but, How does that work?" I stammer. "I was on the pill four weeks ago." The GP just shrugs in response. "Its only 99% affective Miss O'Regan. Pregnancy is still a possibility."Wow. Right. Okay. She pushes a bunch of leaflets and papers in my direction. "You'll need to attend a twelve week scan at the hospital." She guesters at the bunch of papers. "Its all there. Everything you need." "Alright. Thanks." I smile, picking up the papers with a shaky hand. She continues to ask me a load of questions, My age, status,If i intend to keep the baby, that kind of stuff, but i just answer half heartedly, im not really thinking straight. I need to phone Gary."...So ill see you on the 10th of December then Miss O'Regan." I nod as i stand from the chair, thank god my legs have stopped shaking now. "Thank you." I smile, heading for the door. "Anytime Miss O'Regan, Oh and Congratulations!"
I breathe in the fresh air as i step out side and pull out my phone. Gary answers on the second ring. "Libby?""Hiya, yeah, how was your meeting?" "Fine. What did they say?" "Well im pregnant Gary." I grin into the phone like an idiot, as i walk down the street on the way back to work. "But its not like we thought.""Eh? What do you mean?" "Im four weeks pregnant.""Come again?""Dont ask Gary, ill explain when i get home. I just thought id ring and let you know the good news.""Alight Lib, I'll see you later. I love you know?" "Love you too Gary." I grin, stepping back into the office. "I gotta go, ill see you later, ill try and get out early. Love you!"I sink back down behind my desk, grinning like a total lunatic when Amanda walks in. "Oh." She looks surprised. "Someones in a good mood!" I nod enthusiastically. "What can i do for you?" She grits her teeth and gives me an uneasy smile. "I need you to say and work late to finalise this case? Ive got to take it to court tomorrow, only my sisters just gone into labour so i cant do it." She gives me her sugar sweet, butter wouldnt melt, smile. "Amanda, im a solicitor, not your PA." I sigh, "Ive got things to get home to as well you know?" "I know." He groans. "Im sorry, but they cant be as important as this can they?"Erm, well actually yes. "Ill pay you over time.""I dont want the money." I shake my head. "Go just go, go on get out!" I grin. "You owe me one though!""Oh Libby your a life saver! Thank you!" She beams at me as she skips out the door. Right then, i guess i better phone Gary.
"Ello Lib, you okay?""Yea, well, erm, ive got to stay late, Amanda's just buggered off and left me with this case." I flick through it quickly. "I reckon i could be here til about eight. Gary i so sorry." "Hey, no, its fine. Well its not, because ill miss you. But you know what i mean. Do you want me to bring you anything?" "No, im good thanks." I smile into the phone. "Ill just get this done and get home as soon as i can.""Alright Babe, I love you.""Love you too."I hang up and flick through the case again. Jesus, Amanda really does leave things to the last minute doenst she? Shes done fuck all!

Everyone else has gone home now, the place is deserted and deathly quiet. Its just me sat in this bloody office, its a big old room and there is an awful draft coming from the two floor to ceiling windows behind me. I really should get a heater back i here, It will be bitter in the dead of winter. I type away at the laptop, not really thinking though. I dont want to be here. I want to be snuggled up on the setee with Gary. Just the thought of Gary makes me tingle with delight. I already miss him, really miss him. And now i want him too. I want to touch him, and run my fingers over his chest. And then i want-Oh my god Libby. No. Just No.Oh how the hell am i suppose to concentrate now? I take a look at the time. 6;57pm.
