My belly was huge. I really couldn't do many things alone, so Peter and Cindy were helping me a lot. I was so grateful that had friends like them. There was one problem. I couldn't do any check ups. That wasn't good, but I couldn't get out of my house. He called me a couple of times, but I didn't answer. Then I thought that he might be worried about me, so after a couple of days, I finally called him.
- Rydel, sweetie! What's the matter?
- I just can't get out of my house. I am scared. If government sees me, I don't know what they'll do.
- Yeah, I know, sweetie.
- Why didn't you tell me that this was still illegal?
- I don't know, I thought you knew.
- Really? I didn't even knew all the information about this. I thought it was normal just the way it was. I didn't know why it was like that. I only knew that I was different from other girls, but only in my appearance.
- Okay, I have an idea.
- Really? Tell me.
His idea was actually pretty good. He would come around for the check ups. Starting from today. I had some check ups left from the previous month. After that we just talked a bit. It was calm. He told me that he will protect me and that I was a miracle. He told me not to go to other doctors because they might be nasty to me or tell the governments.
Later the afternoon, someone knocked my door. They were a tall man and a short woman. They were both holding cameras.
- Uhm, hello...
- Hello! We are from a magazine called "Girly"...the man said
- Oh, cool. Are you here for an interview?
- No, we are actually here for a photoshoot...the woman said
- What kind of photoshoot.
- We've heard for your pregnancy and after a big research we've found that you are the only pregnant woman in the planet...the man said
- Oh my god! Really?
- Yeah!...the woman said
- How did you found out about me?
- We saw you in that club a month ago, but you left immediately. The club owner told us information about you, like your name and where you live and we found you...the man said
- So we'd like you to do a nude photoshoot...the woman said
- Nude? Why?...I said shocked
- Don't worry, we will focus on your belly and you can cover your breast and you will wear pants, because the photoshoot will be from the waist and up...said the man
- So, deal?...asked the woman
- I am not sure about that.
- Come on! You will be famous!..said the man
- Yeah, but I don't want to.
- You don't have to be scared of anything! We will take care of everything. You won't pay anything...said the man
- It's not about the money.
- Just relax, hun. You' ll be alright...said the woman
- No, sorry. I have to decline your suggestion.
- It's not a suggestion, it's a requisition...said the man
- Huh?
- We are not leaving, till you say yes..said the woman
- Just say yes!..said the man
Suddenly, Peter and Cindy appeared in front of them! The door was opened, so they grabbed them and punched them on their face. After that they left saying ; « You will pay for that Rydel Lynch! »
- Oh gosh, guys, thanks!
- No problem...they said together
- How did you know? Oh don't tell me you had put cameras here, while I was sleeping?
We all laughed.
- Actually we didn't. We just wanted to make you a surprise, we brought you some books we think you'd like, you must be really bored here all day. And it seems we got here just in time...Peter said
- Oh, guys, thanks again!
- So what did they want?...asked Cindy.
- They wanted me to do a nude photoshoot.
- Really?...Peter asked.
- Yes! They told me that I could cover my breast and that the photoshoot would be from the waist up, I declined anyway.
- Bravo, Rydel! You did the right thing! They can't just take advantage of your body, you are not an object...Cindy said.
- It's not about that. They wanted to focus at my belly and the fact that I am pregnant. People all over the world would learn about me. Do you know what that means? That also all the governments would learn about my pregnancy. And that wouldn't be good.
- Oh, yeah, you are right. I hadn't thought about that. Anyway, you did the right thing.
- I know, but I am scared. They said I' ll pay for what I did.
- Don't worry, they can't do anything...Peter said.
- Are you sure?
- I hope so...Peter said.
After a week Lana, finally sent me a message. I told her everything and she told me she could come back for me, but I told her she needn't lose her trip for me. They finally went to France. She was really happy. She met a boy too, so she said that she'll probably stay longer than her parents with her brother, who also met a girl.
After another week, I started having intense pain. It was like a boxer was hitting my belly like it was a punching bag. I called the doctor and he told me it was normal but I was scared. He calmed me down telling me that other women in the past had much more pain than me. I took a painkiller of course. It was okay for once. After a few days, when I was sitting in my couch and watching tv, I saw something that didn't expected.
It was the man and the woman that came in my house a month ago. They were giving an interview.
The man was holding a microphone and started speaking : «You know, many people decline our offers, but we discovered something that can't be missed. It's a woman! A really special woman declined one of our best offers, which had a lot of money for a reward.»
Then the woman grabbed the microphone : «She didn't even let us finish and she expelled us from her house.»
Then the reporter interrupted her saying : «We are really sorry, but we have breaking news, we will get back to you later.»
Then the man grabbed the microphone and said : «We have a meeting in half an hour, so maybe we can continue our interview another time?»
«Okay, I' ll call you next week, Mr and Mrs Johansson» : the reporter said.
«Wonderful»: the lady said and smiled devilishly at the camera.
