The Unhappy Bride

Announcements

We went out for Chinese. There was this place downtown that I loved called happy panda. We were half way through lunch when Dr. Malcov called me. I looked at Mike. He nodded as he held my hand.

"Hello Dr. so what's the verdict " I said as answered the phone.

"Mrs. Austin you are pregnant." He said cheerfully. I looked up at Mike, he squeezed my hand as he felt me shaking. I was dying inside.

"Okay thank you Doctor, do I need to do anything or-

"I can stop by Thursday at noon and we'll talk about it then."

"Okay." I said as I ended the call. Mike got up and sat next to me. He wiped my tears away as I laid my head on his chest.

"Is everything okay?"

"Well." I said as I looked into his eyes.

"What's the verdict?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Makayla, that's great!" He shouted as he kissed me. He was so happy but what if Kyle's the father. Would he freak out, would he try to kill me again or worse try to kill the baby.

"Mike." I said as I pulled away from him. He was so happy but then he looked me in my eyes. He could see the happiness and the pain in my eyes.

"What's the problem, you're pregnant, that's great right?" He said as he hugged me. The problem is whether or not you're the father.

"Oh nothing I'm just a little surprised I guess." I lied. He bought it though. I can't crush him like this. He's going to find out at some point just not right now. How am I going to tell Brice?

"Baby we've got to tell everyone." He got up and threw away our plates.

"Not now."

"When."

"We need to plan a date."

"Okay."

"Yea." I said as I tried to push the though of Kyle out of my mind. He left and I'd let him go.

"Let's go home." He said as he grabbed my hand and led me to the car. "Home Jeffery."

Mike was cleaning everything up and setting up the penthouse for dinner.

"This is too much, can we just have a simple dinner?"

"Honey I want everyone to remember this and-

"Who's everyone."

"Some friends and family you know." What the hell I guess he has a right to be happy.

"How many people exactly?"

"Oh just about a hundred."

"Wow so how are we going to cook for a hundred people?"

"I called a friend honey it's all good they should be here soon."

"Honey this is too much." I was trying to get him to stop doing all this but he insisted. He was still cleaning everything up and setting out all my good China. I went to the room so I could change. I put on my halter top white chiffon dress. I looked at my phone, people were messaging me, calling me and facebooking me. They were all asking about the dinner at my house and what was so important about it. I wanted to tell them but that would crush Mike. I just turned my phone off and went back out to help him set up.

"Mike do you need any help?" I asked as I went to the kitchen where he was. He walked up to me and pulled me into him. We kissed.

"Everything's set up so no but I can get you out of this dress." A grin spread across his face as I moved his hands.

"That's what got me preggers so no." He frowned as I walked to the room.

"Mrs. Austin the caterers are here." I pushed the call button.

"Send them up." I said as I put on my crème heels and walked out to the elevator. They came and set up. I stole some of the appetizers as they were putting them out on the table. Mike caught me and he took it from me. It took the caterers about an hour to set everything up. It looked beautiful I didn't want to eat it now because it was so pretty. Now it was time for dinner. The guests arrived and every seat was filled. At 7:30 dinner was served.

"Okay everyone I know you're all wondering why you're here." He said as he held my hand and we stood up. "My wife and I have an announcement." All eyes where on me I was so nervous. He nodded at me and mouthed you got it.

"I'm pregnant." I said as everyone cheered. My friends and family came up and hugged me. They were so happy and wished me good luck. Brice came up to me, she was fuming.

"Can we talk in private." She asked as she pulled me into my room. "Thank you." She slammed the door behind her.

"Brice what's wrong?" I asked as I sat at the edge of the bed.

"How long have you known?"

"Today makes it almost 2 weeks."

"Aw Makayla why didn't you tell me then?"

"We wanted to keep it a surprise."

"Oh okay so is everything okay with Mike." she said in a lower tone.

"Everything's great." I said cheerfully.

"Really I never thought you'd be this happy with anyone other than K-

"Well we talked about everything and we made up, but don't bring him up."

"That's great." she chimed. "So who's the father?" I heard the door open a little, so I got up to see if anyone was there. No one was there but I thought I heard it open. Maybe it was just me, so I closed it and went back to talk to Brice.

"That's the problem, I don't know and I don't want to tell Mike, but he's going to find out one way or another." I said sadly.

"Honey it's better to let him know now than later. Have you told Kyle, he needs to know just in case you know it's his child." She was right he should know but then again I'm a married women. Besides he doesn't even want to talk to me. He made that very clear in France when he walked out on me.

"No I'm not talking to him."

"Well do you want me to talk to him"

"I mean you can but I could careless." All of a sudden Mike came in.

"Sorry to interrupt but I need my wife back out here, her family wants to talk to her."

"Oh I sorry." Brice apologized but I reassured her that it was okay. I told her to just text me. I went back out and my sister came and hugged me. We talked for a while. Until my mom interrupted us. She shooed Ashlyn away.

"Can we talk in private?"
