SARAH JONES

"What do you mean?" I asked holding my breathe.

"Look, to be honest I don't know what exactly happened. When I told Ivory that her life would be in danger if she continued the pregnancy, she didn't seemed fazed, of course she was concerned but she said that there wasn't a doubt in her mind about continuing with her pregnancy." The doctor, Mrs Al Smith said.

It was very irritating how she spoke so casually about this matter when for me and Rick, it was something else. But I couldn't blame her, she was used to such cases and the patients were just subjects for the doctors.

"But then a phone came from her sister and I guess that was you." Doctor said looking at me.

Confused I asked her.

"Me?"

"Yes, she received the call in front of me. It's impossible to forget her expressions and words after that." She said.

Flashback ( in third person)

Ivory was sitting at the same room, looking at the name board which read Dr Al Smith. She just received the news that her life could be in danger if her baby would be born but was still happy that there was a chance for her to become a mother and Rick to be a father. She thought that this would probably bring him close to her, of course if she survived.

If a doubt to consider abortion came to her mind, she reminded herself of the pain and loneliness she felt when she was forced to abort her first child. She knew that she won't be able to endure such heartbreak again. And also she knew that no matter how Rick seemed cold, he would be happy to have a child, well that's what she hoped for.

"There's still a chance of survival, right?" Ivory asked.

"Yes, Mrs Stone, but very very slim. My advice would be to try next time." The doctor said.

Next time, she thought with a dry laugh. This was her next time.

Suddenly her phone rang and Sarah's name flashed on the screen, bringing a smile on Ivory's face. My sister, she thought, always there to cheer her dull mood. For Ivory, Sarah was like a sunshine in the dark world, if Rickkard was now her life, Sarah was her hope.

Signaling to excuse for a minute, she picked up the phone while the doctor was reading her reports again.

"Hello Sarah, how are you?" She forced happiness in her voice which went away when Sarah began to speak.

"Ivory!" Sarah said, crying.

No more bad news, please, Ivory prayed.

"Ivory, why is our fate like this! Why do we not have parents!" A clearly drunk Sarah cried.

Ivory was confused and shocked. Sarah never drinks, so if she opted for alcohol means something was off.

"What happened?" Ivory asked hesitantly.

"Today our club was asked to bring our parents, I knew I should have not gone but Nicole said that she would ask aunt to be both our parents in front of the professors."

Ivory shook her head and groaned internally after hearing Nicole and their so called aunt's name. Sarah is an idiot to believe Nicole and thrust their bitch aunt, she thought.
