If I Fell In Love With You

Chapter Six

The Next Morning:

Hazel's POV:

I woke up to a winsome morning, but a rude awaking. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited. I feel more frail and ailing than yesterday. I slowly walked to my bed and laid down. I looked at the clock and it was 7:00 AM.

"Ugh, this day has only begun." I groaned.

I began feeling rather suspicious. Maybe this is a side affect of my period, I thought. However, I never really experience severe pain when it came to that time of the month. I ran to the calendar and checked the date. Its October 30th. I'm late.

I got ready by 9:00 AM and was eager to get out. John went to the recording studio and Cynthia was feeding Julien. I have a doctor's appointment at 10:00 AM and I am very anxious. I walked to the kitchen and sat next to Cyn. Julien was in his highchair eating bananas.

"Morning, Cyn." I smiled.

"Good morning. How ya feeling?"

"I feel unwell."

"Are you anxious about the doctors? I know you get nervous around them."

"Well, I wasn't nervous until you said something." I nervously laughed.

"Oh, sweetie! There is nothing to worry about! You probably just have some sort of virus. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you."

"It's fine." I smiled. She gave me a hug and I quickly pulled away. "I don't want to get you sick, Cyn."

"Oh, yeah." she laughed. I checked the clock and it was time for me to go. I hope its just a virus. Oh, please just be a virus.

"I've better be heading out now, don't want to keep the doc waiting." I sighed. I got up and put on my coat on.

"Everything will be fine." she smiled. I gave her a half smile and went out the door.

The doctor's office was down the street. The red brick building was broad and basic. It was just as unappealing in the inside as it was on the outside. I sat on the dull, tan chair impatiently waiting. The office was rather hectic, I saw people come and go. I starting shifting my feet and taping my fingers on the arm of the chair.

"Hazel, Hazel Evans? You're up." a tall and skinny nurse said. I got up and followed her to a room. "You could take a seat right there and the doctor will be with you momentarily."

"Thank you." I softly said. She smiled back at me and exited the door.

I started feeling irksome stomach cramps. I took deep breathes and stared at the door. I took off my coat and leaned back on the chair. Finally the nurse came in and behind her was a male doctor. He and the nurse looked really young. They both smelled like anesthetics. He sat down and looked at files. The nurse stood behind me and I just looked at the doctor. He put down the files and held out his hand.

"Hello, Hazel. I'm Dr. Chambers, you could call me Finn though. That's Nurse April." he smiled. I turned my head to her and she smiled. I felt claustrophobic. I hesitantly shook his hand and than swiftly sat down.

"Mrs. Lennon told me that you've been having dreadful stomach cramps and you've been feeling nauseous. "he stated.

"Yeah, also I'm... I'm late." I whispered. I looked down at my feet. The doctor looked at the nurse than at me.

"How many weeks?" he asked.

"About... Four?" I said unsure.

"Well, when was the last time you've had sexual intercourse with your significant other?" he awkwardly asked. The nurse giggled and the doctor looked at her seriously.

I tried to think. It couldn't have be with Paul, no way. We've only kissed.

"I don't remember... Wait." I paused. I thought harder and became frustrated. I suddenly remembered it was with Ross. It was about a month ago, a few days before he left. The doctor was waiting for an answer. My heart was racing and I widened my eyes.

"About a month ago." I answered. He looked at me with a worried look and wasn't able to get the words out of his mouth.

"From what you've told me and what I know... I believe you are pregnant." he concisely said. "Let's no jump to conclusions though, I would like to get a urine sample to make sure."

There was long moment of silence. It must be negative, maybe it's just stress, maybe this doctor has it all wrong. He handed me the cup and I was at a deadlock.

"Hazel, we could only find out if you try." he enlightened me and patted me on the back.

The nurse guided me to the bathroom. I stared at the cup. I couldn't think straight at all. So many thoughts ran through my head. I did the urine specimen and steadily walked to the room. I handed the cup to the doctor and sat down. I stared the floor and started shaking. The nurse and the doctor scrutinized the specimen.

"Hazel, you're pregnant." Dr. Chambers said. He put the cup down and looked at me. My eyes widened and I sat there shocked. I cleared my throat and bit my lip. He was waiting for my enraptured reaction to the news but I sat there nonplussed. I'm pregnant with Ross's baby.

"I'm confused of what I should feel right now. Should I feel rejuvenated or scared? I don't have an significant other to share this revelation." I softly said. My eyes were looking everywhere and it was hard to make eye contact with anyone.

"If you aren't ready, that's okay. You have options. There is abortion or there is the orphanage." he said. I looked at him and I tried not to cry. I felt really bad for this baby because this was not intended. I still haven't made my decision yet.

"I'm confused." I said. I looked at him helpless.

"Take a week or so to tell me. Choose wisely, you are still very young." he said.

"Thank you." I sniffled. I wiped a tear away from my face and ran out of the office.
