"It has a what?!"

"Your baby has a calcium deposit,  also called EIF.  Typically it would go unseen until later  child development which can diagnose your child with Down Syndrome and or a heart murmur . Then again it could go away, within your pregnancy until you come back for another ultrasound to see so. This happens to a lot of our young mothers and 99% of the time it's nothing" the doctor explained

"Okay, but that 1 percent is also likely too?" Charles announced

"It could happen, but I'm positive it won't "

"Charles, I don't want that 1 percent , please tell me it's going to be okay" I sob while my breathing picks up.

"D'Andrea babe, please the doctor said it's not likely, it's practically a one in a million chance . Don't stress yourself out." He confines, but my body still tense signifying I couldn't pull through this situation

~
A whole day went by, my mind foggy , thoughts so in-comprehensive. I just felt like this hole I'm falling through got deeper.

"D'Andrea, babe call me if you need anything and I mean anything, okay?" Charles said to be grabbing his things

"I will.." I whisper , his eyes grabbed mine,

"D'Andrea"

"I will okay" I respond

"Good" he smiles before kissing me countless times.
Making his way out he left me alone in his apartment . Anaya was dropped home with her "lover" while I get to sit around on my pregnant ass all day.
30 minutes after his leaving, I was already tedious , the room so boring ..

Before I could rummage around in his refrigerator the door began to click around, keys jingling At the door, my heart racing suddenly .

The door opened and there stood...

"Dandra?"

"Ashca.."
I don't believe Charles told her yet ,

"What..ah- how do you know where Ashca lives"

"Uh, I don't think Charles told you did he?"

"Charle.. how do you know my husband?"

"Charles is the one I'm having..the baby with and ..he's been my boyfriend.. he recently just told me you were married " uttering these words I realized how wrong it was phrased

"So you know about our fake marriage ?" She quickly drops her ascent, my eyes widened and my brows furrowed .

"Uhh"

"Yeah, it's just for show... I don't honestly believe that anyone thinks my ascent was real, but sincerely that's great to know that you and my husband are in love and happy, he's told me so much about you just never mentioned a name "

"Yeah...thanks " my mind jumped to conclusions, immediately I assumed the worse.

"So would you like some dinner?" She grins

"Sure, why not thanks "

"Alright I think of something..you just get comfortable " she smirks before tailing into the kitchen space.

Smiling back , I walk away going towards Charles room, quickly I look around... plundering in drawers and dressers looking for an unreasonable answer.

"Everything okay?" I hear in an approaching distance,

"Yeah , just peeing!" I yell and run into the bathroom. Scared I began pouring water into the toilet to mimic urination , flushing I walk out to see Ashca standing tall in fornt of the door ,

"Your sure your okay?"

Catching my chest,

"Yeah , yeah I'm fine why?"

"You seem, jumpy", she responds raising a brow,

"Me ? Jumpy ? No not at all" I lie

~
After a few ,my body tension was still high, she had fixed dinner and left water near it.
Quickly I drink the water hoping it would fill me before eating the peculiarities on the plate.

"Are you not hungry?" She grinned

"Yeah, not really I had a late lunch, and I'm kinda...." before finishing my sentence I immediately felt light headed and flushed, my eyes became surely heavy ... why am I so sleepy?

I had passed out shortly after.
~

I didn't know what time it was, the day the exact hour but , something was funny.
When I awoke from a subtle slumber, Charles sat dearly next to me. Confused I looked up,

"Good morning sleeping beauty" he grinned, furrowing my brows I respond

"Aren't you...suppose to be at your meeting ?"

"I did go, when I came back you were asleep". He scoffed

"Didn't want to wake you" he smiled , after I never questioned it and laid silently contemplating whether is dreamed my encounter with Ashca or... she drugged me.

Looking at Charles I then spoke breaking the silence

"Did Ashca tell you she came over ?"

"Ashca? She didn't even come back from her date  nether or less wasn't even here when I came back. Why? Did you see her?"

"Y-yeah... actually I did she came shortly after you ... but I don't remember much after that..."

"Well, she's gone now". His words echoed slightly, the thought of her mysterious personas crept on me. Suddenly a weird feel touched my stomach, then I again. Placing my hand gently over it , I soon realized the baby was kicking,

"Charles, Charles!"

"What?" He said shaken

"The baby, the baby is kicking !" I yell to him feeling excited forgetting about my bothering mystery.

"Really?" He said happy placing his hand over my belly, his face then lit up almost instantly. We both began chuckling , smiling ear to ear . Charles looked up from my belly then smiled even harder...

"I love you so much"

"I love you too"

His face then went blank...

"What's wrong?" I console

"Nothing it's just...that " he said raising from the bed,

"D'andrea Genevieve Bryant, you are really creating my future for me, you are the light to my subjected darkness ; the piece to fill my heart... I know we've been together for less than a year, but I can't spend anymore days knowing that you aren't here by my side. I want you to move in with me"
He grabbed my hands then smiled , almost tearing up in the eyes like me,

"I want you to one day be my wife, I want to grow old with you. Let me be your Mr. Right, after all the wrong."

Tears already fell, running down my face. My fears had yet again faded.

"Charles Elijah Wright, I much appreciate this offer and I happily accept, in your darkest hours I'll continue to be your light, in hopes for you to be mine. Even if this feels like a marriage proposal, I hope one day I am Mrs.Wright, I hope one day we can be a family... and decide that we would consider having more kids, I hope one day that there will never be a day you'll say you don't love me, because I always will."

Immediately his strong hands caressed my face, kissing me softly. He continued getting back into the bed keeping me warm with his body .

That day was special...

Even if I didn't remember the ones before
