Dumped and Pregnant (#Wattys2015)completed

Chapter 45

"Joshua you need to call your mother. I don't want Elise here when all of this is going on." Looking up he managed to give me a small smile through his tear stained face. "Already done," I looked at him quizzically. "When you were in the shower," "Oh," I mumbled as another tear escaped my eyes. Before I could wipe it away, Joshua caught it with his lips affectionately.

"We've been through worse than this Isabella. Yes this is shitty but we have to keep strong." as he spoke, he studied my face. Jumping down I looked up at him, feeling more positive than ever. I smiled. "Your right! We can do this." "We can" he replied as he crashed his lips against mine, kissing me with so much love that I could've melted right there on the spot.

The doorbell rang breaking us from our intermittent moment. I was scared stiff of what was going to happen but knew it would be best if I just go out there so I could get it over with. "Ready?" Joshua asked whilst taking a hold of my hand.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I whispered whilst drying up my face. Giving his hand a tug we walked back into the front room. Paul had already let the Doctor in and he was already speaking with Mr Hugo our new lawyer as of now.

Once we entered the room all eyes were on us. Jack and Paul looked pissed but Lisa and Elle looked as if they were going to rip someone apart or break down. The Doctor turned and formally introduced himself. The room was so quite you could have heard a pin drop. Not wanting to delay what had to be done, I told the doctor that we could go into the kitchen so we can be alone. Joshua went to follow me but I held my hand up to stop him. This was degrading and embarrassing enough than to have Joshua to witness this as well. I expected him to kick up a fuss or even try and talk me around but as always he surprised me.

"I understand. Just promise me if you need me, you will call, ok?" giving him a quick hug I promised I would call, if I needed him.

The tests where a lot straighter forward than I expected them to be but then again, I didn't really know what to expect. He asked me questions about Joshua, Jaxon and even about my past as well as my parents. Some things saddened me and some things angered me but I think I controlled myself enough for him to realise that I'm not what Jaxon had tried to make me out to be.

I had been sitting in silence now for what felt like forever whilst the doctor wrote out his report.

"Well Isabella, I can officially tell you that you're not suffering from depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, amongst many other mental conditions. Therefore I have written you off with a clear view of mental health. However, I must say, after hearing what you have been through here today as well as reading your files, I'm very shocked that you are still sane." I laughed.

"Me too but honestly, it is all down to having the best caring friends ever and a very caring and understanding boyfriend." He smiled at me before he took to stand.

"Isabella you're a very lucky girl but also a very strong one at that! I hope all goes well for you tomorrow. You deserve a break from mother nature." He chuckled. I shook his hand as I saw him out of the house. As soon as I closed the door everyone was standing behind me waiting in the foyer.

I really wanted to wind them up saying they were going to admit me into a mental hospital. However, with luck not being on my much side lately, I decided not to encase I jinked myself.

"Well I'm still sane!" I said laughing. Everyone clapped and cheered while Joshua just picked me up and spun me around.

"Well we already knew that" Jack stated matter of factually.

"Yeah well that's you opinion. Where I know Isabella better than anyone and- she- is -bat –ass- crazy! I guess just not in the mental terms" I playfully slapped Elle as we all burst out laughing. Seeing everyone smiling and laughing lifted my spirits a little but Paul wasn't laughing like the others, his was false and I knew it. However, I didn't have the energy to ask him about it now but made a mental note to talk to him in the morning.

Everyone decided to stay over the night and as much as I was missing Elise, I was so happy that she wasn't here today. I wanted her life to be perfect, unlike mine and I was going to do everything I could to protect her from all this craziness.

Mr Hugo was a funny man and he seemed to calm not only me but everyone in his presence. As for my old lawyer, after hearing everything he had been through, I actually felt sorry for him. Jaxon hadn't only run away but he had caused his parents to get a divorce, on top of that, apparently his younger brother and sister don't even talk to each other, let alone their own parents. I couldn't believe that he had hurt so many people in his life. I just hope that one day he will wake up and see how many people he has affected by the way he has been acting.

Wakening up the next morning I felt physically sick. I hadn't slept much but the little sleep I did manage to have filled me with haunting flashbacks of Jaxon and his wife. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I slowly slid out of bed as not to wake up Joshua. Standing up I looked down at the love of my life. He looked so peaceful whilst sleeping that I hated myself for bringing so much drama and pain into his life. However, I knew, well, more like hoped, that one day we would get our happily ever after and that was all that was keeping me in some way sane. I couldn't wait for the day for us to be married, as well as having many more babies. I could just imagine it now and truthfully I couldn't wait.

Far away in my own thoughts, I hadn't realised that Joshua had even woken up until he pulled me down on top of him.

"Good morning my love. Penny for your thoughts?" Joshua's deep sleepy voice warmed my body in places that were not ready to be soothed. "Morning." I replied while blushing. Raising his eyebrows for me to go on I lowered my head so he wouldn't see me blushing.

"I was just thinking of us when we get married." I said feeling all shy and giddy. "And?" he said pushing me to say more. Raising my head, our eyes locked. "Truthfully...I just can't wait for our life to start without all the drama and stress. As well as getting started on having more babies." Joshua's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Oh Isabella, me to, me too baby but don't you worry your pretty little head because the minute this is all over they will be no stopping me." He said as he wiggled his eyebrows. Giggling I leaned down to kiss him but just as our lips connected he began tickling me. I squealed as I flipped around the bed hysterically laughing. A knock on the door had him stopping, however I was still laughing as I tried to worm myself out of his hold. "Come in" he shouted making me scarper back under the covers to hide my naked body. Thankfully I had just managed to cover myself up as Jack came walking in.

"Just thought I would wake you up as it's nearly time to leave" Jack looked everywhere but at us and I couldn't help but laugh. Seeing this big guy squirming with embarrassment was hilarious. "Thank you Jack we will be down in a minute." Joshua replied but I was in a giddy mood for some UN known reason and couldn't stop myself from wanting to tease Jack a little.

"Hmm Jack" I called. He stopped but never turned around. "Jack you can look at me you know" I said acting all innocent. As he turned around I was straddling Joshua with the soft silk cover wrapped softly around me. Joshua was trying his hardest not to laugh as he caught onto what I was doing.

Tilting my head to the side so I could see Jack, I bust out laughing at his reaction. His face was every shade of red. He looked as if he had just caught us in the act. "I hate you two" he shouted as he near on ran out of bedroom. Joshua and I couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh that was funny did you see his face?" I asked between my hilarity.

"Oh my god! I have never seen him so uncomfortable in my life, that was a picture I will treasure for ever and maybe I'll even use it against him one day." I could see Joshua already mentally planning against poor Jack. I playfully slapped him before running for the shower.

"Isabella don't lock the door it will be quicker if we take one together." Yeah right, I thought to myself as my thoughts wondered off to what we usually did in the shower.
