Storm (interracial)

Blizzard Chapter 21

I've been sick since we've arrived here in Utah and we've only been here for a couple of weeks. , and I knew my heart was broken. Arian never once called or returned my calls. Strangely the number was no longer in service. I was lose, hurt, even devastated. I hadn't been able to keep anything down nor did I have the courage to leave the bed. I was nauseated all the time. I suffered from migraines constantly. I had lost so much weight the Roberts concern grew and decided that to have some test and blood work done on me. So off to the doctor we go.

Since it's only me and Carla sitting alone in the doctor's office she tries to make small talk. I didn't want to be rude but I really didn't want to engage in any conversation with this woman. But since she was kind and appeared to be an eccentric I decided to indulge her.

"How are you feeling?" She ask with concern laced in her voice.

"I feel fine." I replied honestly.

You miss him don't you?"

"Its that obvious huh?"

"Yes it is. But try not to worry to much he will come back to you sooner than you know it."

"Thanks for the encouragement." I said as a lone tear fell from my eye. I could see already that I would like her a lot. She was very corky and kooky. She had a motherly vibe about her. She had the most electrifying red hair and the most vibrant green eyes. She was stunning. Her husband was the complete opposite. He was a boring brunette with dull brown eyes that only lit up when he was in the presence of his wife. He was blunt and informative. He could quote any shakespearean play and hated sports. He was just a plain bore if you ask me. But he loved children as well as Carla. I didn't quite understand why they didn't have any kids of their own.  Hell I couldn't fathom the reason for them being here.

Mr. boring himself came out and handed Carla a paper.  She read whatever it is on the paper and she glanced at me before exiting with her husband.  Panic immediately overcame me and I felt awfully sick all of a sudden.  Before I could make my first move to rush to the bathroom, I vomited on my feet and the floor.  At the point I became defeated convinced that I was terminally ill.  I cried quietly with my head in my hands as it started to throb. I was so caught up in my own self pity I didn't hear Carla come in. 

"Oh my dear. Clara said reopening the door. Steve get me a wet cloth and some napkins please. Hurry.

She turned and looked at me. "Hunny are you okay?"

I looked up at her and asked. "What does that paper say."

"Oh that. Well it's seems as if you are pregnant. Congratulations!"

In that moment I had an epiphany and it was a cold truth. He was right he never promised, he only said he needed a child, wanted a child. Only death would separate us but we would be together forever. This child is was my forever, a piece of him to be with me even in death. Even if we're both gone we would still be together through this child. The realization hit me hard and I my vision became blurry and then there was black.

"It looks like she's waking up." I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes to see Carla rub a damp cloth on my forehead. 

"Why would he do this to me?"  I said in a raspy voice.

"Do you love him?" Carla asked me.

"Yes." But he makes it so hard."

"Yes or no?"

"Yes."

"Do you trust him."

"I guess I do."

"Stormy." She practically yelled.

"Yes."

"Then Shhh child, there's no need to cry over spilled milk.   Carla said to still rubbing my forehead.

"I know but I can't help but shake the feeling that maybe he knew I was pregnant."

"Seeming that you will not be getting that answer from Arian himself I guess I can tell you this." Carla said calmly.

"Enlightened me, please." I said sarcastically.

"Well, you see when Arian came to my husband and I he informed us that you were pregnant or at least there was a strong possibility. The only thing is that you were not aware of this yet.  He knew eventually that he would have to send you away to keep you protect and he wanted to the best care possible while flying under the radar.  He said he had a dream that you would be with child and his gut instinct was correct. "

"And exactly why is he trusting you and your husband to care for me.  I mean do you guys even know each other."

"Not really but I do understand your concerns.  We are actually relatives of Corbin.  I'm his older sister so Arian felt easier letting us tend to you versus someone completely on the outside."

"Really you and Corbin brother and sister." I say in shock tone.

She laughs and says, "Yes. I know most people are surprised when they find out. He looks like our dad and I my mom. But when you get the pleasure of being around us all you'll see nothing but a bunch a goof balls. Our parents are free spirited although Corbin is the most normal of us all.

We laughed together.  The next hour or so we ate while she told me about the work that she and husband does.  She's a midwife and her husband is a OBGYN.

"Is there any way to inform him of the news." I asked with a lot of hope growing within me.

"No, I'm so sorry."

"Well, I guess I can try and pull myself together for the sake of our baby.  I hope it's a boy."

"I'm sure you two will be happy either way it goes.  Let's just get started with his journey so ensure that you have a healthy baby.

"Thanks for the words of encouragement."

"Oh no problem sweetheart.  It will be a pleasure to help along with this process."

Once back at the house we shared the news.  Everyone seemed to be excited but Zeus he went straight into protect the mommy and the baby mode.  He was to serious for his own good.  I hope and pray that everything would pan out.  We had been through so much and it was time for us to have some peace.  But that was only wishful thinking.
