What The Body Wants

A New Friendship

Chapter 43

I opened the test that has been sitting on my shelf for over a week and decided it was time to do this. I read the instructions following precisely what it said.  I peed on the stick and put it on top of the box and it said wait 15 minutes for the results.

I finished in the bathroom and put on my shorts and tank top waiting for the results. Finally I heard the timer go off and I walked into the bathroom and it took me 10 minutes to read the results.

I sat on the side of the tub trying to gather myself.  I looked at the test and two lines appeared, oh God I was pregnant, what was I gonna do now I have to tell Kevin, I just don’t want to do it right now.  I dried my eyes and headed to bed.

I put the pregnancy out of mind until tomorrow and I let it wonder to earlier tonight I couldn’t wait to see Vincent again outside of work of course. Could we actually grow to have a good friendship, I just have to wait and see.  With that thought in mind, I put my head on my pillow and it was light’s out for me.

I woke up feeling rested and headed to the bathroom to do my daily hygiene regimen.  Once I was finished, I got dressed, and hurried downstairs to fix me something to eat.  I had at least an hour before I had to be to work, but I was starving and I just wanted something to eat.

I fixed my favorite breakfast; fruit salad with cottage cheese, a scrambled egg and a slice of toast.  I usually have coffee in the morning, but I guess I would have to slow down on caffeine now that I’m pregnant.

I have to call my mother as soon as I get to my office and let her know.  I don’t really know how to feel about this especially since Kevin and I aren’t together.  Could things get any more complicated?  I have to call my physician and make an appointment.

I finished eating my breakfast, then grabbed my purse, keys, bad and headed out the door.  I got in the car and headed to the hospital.  I parked my car and opened my door grabbing my things, but  before I could get it all I had to jump out the car and ran to the front of my car to keep from anyone seeing me puke my head off. 

This can’t be happening now, I don’t need morning sickness; I’m not ready for this. I finished hurling the contents of my stomach and went back to my car and grabbed some tissue to clean my face.  I had a toothbrush and some toothpaste in my office; I would and brush my teeth again.

What a way to start your morning.  I finished gathering my things and walked into the building heading right to my office so I could brush my teeth.  After I cleaned myself up, I sat down and called my mother. 

“Hello.”

“Hi mom, how are?”

“I’m good baby and how are you?”

“Pregnant.”

I said and then begin to cry.  I always wanted to have children with Kevin, but I don’t want to be pregnant from Kevin now that we are no longer together, but I can’t have an abortion either.

“Nikki sweetheart it’s going to be ok, maybe I should come and help you adjust to being pregnant.  Have you called Kevin yet?”

“No I haven’t, and right now I don’t think I will.  I don’t know how far along I am so I don’t want to say anything until I know.”

“Ok, if you think that’s best.  I am going to get a flight out this evening and I’ll be there sometime tonight.  I will call you and let you know what time my plane arrives.”

“Mom there is no reason to come just yet.  Wait and let me go to the dr. and then I will let you know.  I just don’t want you to make a trip for nothing.”
