Hola Chica - Carlos Sainz Jr. fanfiction

Chapter 6

Sophie's POV

When I woke up the bed was shaking.

Earthquake?! Carlos and I are at it?!...

"Sophie!!! Auntie!!! Wake uuuuuuuuuupppp!!!"

"Huh?! Bethany?! What are you doing here?"

"Waking you up because it's nearly lunchtime. Do you and Carlos ever sleep in this late?"

"A lot actually. Sorry, just a case of baby brain" I said, covering my kitty as I realised I'd dropped the secret.

"Baby brain? You're pregnant?!"

I smiled as I looked at my stomach.

"Only a few weeks. Don't tell anyone!"

I looked next to me as if I was expecting Carlos to be there. I got a bit of a shock when he wasn't.

"You miss him, don't you" she said, looking concerned "you're only four years older than me and you're having a baby. Are you sure it isn't to soon?"

"We both want it, Beth. We feel like it's okay"

"But you've only been dating for two months"

I looked down at my stomach again, feeling some regret.

"Maybe you should wait for a year or so. And Carlos is always away so you never see him"

"What should I do then?"

"It's up to you whether you want to keep it or not. But, if you get rid of it, you must tell him that it was a miscarriage"

"Okay, maybe you're right. Maybe it is too soon. He said that he feels a father instinct from watching me with the kids"

"You're always with them"

"I know, maybe we just need to have fun. I think that'd be better than having a child so early on"

"What will you do?"

"I think I'm going to get rid of it"

"When?"

"Today"

"So, what do we do today then?"

"Shopping? Then I can run and get it done"

"Okay, sounds so good!"

***

I put my tank top on and went out with Beth.

"You're gorgeous, auntie!"

"I think we look more like sisters!" I laughed, tossing my long, braided hair over my shoulder.

"We do?!"

"Yes we do! Now, come on, I'll run to the clinic quickly. Then, how about I treat us to some expensive makeup!"

***

I was shaking as I entered the waiting room. I was called in.

"So, miss barker, as you're only a few weeks you will only need a tablet. Just take it in the same way you would take a paracetamol.

I took it an practically ran out of the room.

"Done?"

"Done. It'll be gone by time Carlos gets back"

***

"How much did we spend?!" Bethany asked, looking at the bags of Este Lauder, Clinque, Lancôme, benefit and designer clothes we had bought.

"A lot! I haven't shopped like that in a while!

I felt the churning in my stomach. The baby had gone.
