Chapter 65- "Pharmacy..."

Clara's PoV

'Why are you being sick again?' Avia whined. 'Your so going to ruin my birthday trip' Avia scoffed Saturday morning as there was a knock on the door with our room service breakfast.

'Don't be so selfish Avia' I spat but actually spat more vomit into the toilet.

'Does Daddy know your being sick?' Avia asked with a raised eyebrow when I came back into the lounge and rolled my eyes at her comfy state on the bed with her fried breakfast.

I had ordered one for myself but was feeling a bit like it might make me upchuck some more so I might give it a bit of a miss.

'No. And he doesn't need to know' I said as I flicked the TV on to some American news channel. 'He's got enough to worry about with Poppy being sick - without me putting something else on him' I said.

'Can we go to Victoria secrets?'

'What?' I scoffed with wide eyes. 'You're 11? Who could you possibly have to seduce with that kind of underwear. You don't even have breasts yet'

'Yeah but I want to have one ready for when I do. What if your on holiday or something? I don't want to ask daddy for a bra' she said with a giggle but also a touch of embarrassment.

It was quite interesting really. She was definitely a Daddy's girl. They all were. Yet when it came to things like this - they were always looking to me. And since this was a man free weekend - I guess she just felt comfortable.

'Umm. Maybe' I nodded knowing deep down I could buy myself some new bras. They change in size all the time. And right now they had gone up at least a whole cup size.

'And earrings?' She said with battered eyelids.

'You were always so determined that you didn't want to punch holes in your ears. What's changed?'

'I grew up' she scoffed. 'I'm going to be 11 tomorrow. Please Mummy?' She begged. 'You let Evie do it when she was really little. Why can't I do it?'

'Ugh. I'll have to run it past your Dad' I said with a hum.

'No. He'll just say no. He refuses to admit that I'm older. If he found out about bras he might just have an aneurism' she scoffed.

'That was big words even for you' I hummed.

'Can we go now?' She begged as I violently brushed my teeth and decided if eating some solids would actually be a good idea?

They probably wouldn't so I figured I would just stick to some toast until lunch time.

'I love them: I love them. I love them so much' she squeaked as she was admiring herself in the mirror of one of the really gross New York bathrooms.

It was times like these that I was glad that John had put us up in a pretty decent hotel. He had a lot of business trips in this hotel and was on really good terms with the manager. So when he said about his daughter and wife wanting a trip - he came up trumps with a pretty good deal.

It's something that I would never be able to afford in my wildest dreams.

'They do look very nice I have to admit' I chuckled, as she looked at mine.

'When can I get three like you?'

'When your 18' I scoffed. I was actually 15 when I got my second one and 16 when I got the top done - so she could wait for now.

'Can we buy some pretty ones?'

'You've got your money. If you want some pretty ones then you can buy some' I said kissing her forehead as she hugged me in thanks for letting her get it done.

'Did tell two Daddy?'

'No. we'll leave that one a surprise' I smirked washing my hands and encouraging her out of the bathrooms. 'Right. Bra shopping'

- - -

'Holy crap' I said as I heard the measurement. I mean I knew that boobs grow - but seriously? That much in a few months.

'Look Mummy. This ones pretty' Avia said pointing at all the bras. She was just so excited to be getting her first proper bra that she wasn't even paying any attention to what I was saying.

'Yeah. Pretty price as well' I said rolling my eyes deep in thought.

We'd stopped trying for a baby. We'd decided to just call it... but I never went back on the pill. I never went back to the doctors and got the pill after promising that I would.

Of course we always use protection. I couldn't be pregnant if we had tried for months and nothing happened? Of course if we had stopped trying what might have happened then?

'Can I get one?'

'Umm. Yeah. Pick a couple out' I said motioning her onwards as I chose out a bra anyway.

If I was pregnant then I would need a new bra either way. But I had never had a problem with the previous pregnancies. My cup size didn't change until I was 4 months and theirs no way I'm that far along with only getting morning sickness symptoms now.

God what a Fucking mess?

- - -

'Ugh. I'm all shopped out Mummy. Can we go back to the hotel and go swimming?'

'Umm. Yeah that sounds perfect. But I just need to stop by a chemist or some sort of pharmacy first' I said as she shrugged.

'You going to get some medicine?'

'Yeah. Let's go with that' I said as we wandered up and down Times Square for a little while until I found a convenient little pharmacy.

'Oo. Can I get some chocolate?'

'Yeah. Go and look at the chocolate' I instructed - essentially trying to get rid of her for the minute and spoke to the pharmacist lady behind he desk.

'Can I help?'

'Just a quick question really. If my husband and I had been trying to conceive for 6 months and it didn't happen - so we gave up. But on the odd occasion without thinking we didn't use protection... could I be pregnant?'
