(Continuation of chapter 75)

Two weeks later
I was missing Vincent something awful and hated even more that we hadn't slept in the same bed in weeks.  I was moody and tired plus not seeing my husband for two weeks added to my angst.

I piddled around all day, the feeling of restlessness getting to me and what's worse, I didn't want to leave our room.  I had no desire too.

A sudden knock brought me from my depression.  "Come in" I said softly.  It was Bri.  God love her, I knew what she was trying to do, but I didn't know if I wanted it or not.

"Calli what's the matter honey?"  She was concerned and I felt bad making her worry like this and there really was no use in lying to her.

"I just feel off " I told her.  "Have you heard from Luca?" I asked and when she nodded yes, I couldn't stop the tears.  "You mean you haven't heard from Vincent?"  She seemed truly surprised as I shook my head no.

Wiping the tears away was my way of saying f*ck it and asked Bri about her doctor.  "Female doctor?"  She asked.  I nodded and then she asked "Are you pregnant?"  "I'm not sure.  We've not been using any birth control but I thought I might be pregnant by now.  I just want to make sure nothing's wrong with me."

And as usual, Bri came to my rescue by calling and getting me an appointment to her OB-GYN.  Picking myself up from bed, I took a shower and got dressed and met Bri downstairs.

Meo was taking us and before I got in, I asked a favor of him.  "Meo, please don't tell Vincent about this, okay?  I need to tell him on my own."  Meo nodded and said "Calli, I won't say anything, besides its not mine to tell."  I smiled and nodded in thanks.

After getting poked and prodded, blood drawn and a complete physical, Dr. Sylvio said physically I was fine, a little anemic, but asked me if I was under any stress.

"Yes" I responded honestly.  He suggested just clearing my mind and not focus so hard on having a baby and thus we'd get pregnant.  In the meantime, he prescribed iron and progesterone, just to be safe.

I have to admit that I felt better, so Bri and I went shopping for Vincent's birthday.  It was an awesome feeling not carrying the weight of the world, so with a happy heart, we shopped like crazy.

I was overjoyed when I found everything on my list for Vincent. An elegant skeleton watch, onyx and diamond cuff links, and a silk tie from Hermes.
