Carrying His Child

Chapter 5 (Trip to New York Part 1)

ANA POV:

My world is turned upside down because of him. I was not expecting my mom to react completely happy after hearing the news, everyone's parents would've been angry after hearing it, yet here I am, sitting in the bed and waiting for my mom to finish baking the cake.

I am anxiety all over my body, what if's and I don't know's are filling up my mind. Should I run away? What if Christian finds me, I will be screwed real badly, think Ana, think.

4 months later....

Mom's progress is getting better and better each day, her tumor is shrinking as time is passing by. The doctors decided to reduce her medication and chemotherapies, but the only downside is her losing hair.

My baby bump is showing a lot by now, I have to wear something a size bigger than what I used to wear. This bump reminds me of Christian day and night even if I try to surpass them. I know how much of a stalker he is, therefore, I didn't bring my phone with me to Georgia, I've been using mom's phone if I want to.

On the other hand, mom is happy about the baby, after all, she will become his/her grandma.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad at the moment, I will become a mother which every woman dreams of, but I dont want to do this without my happily ever after.

I am not stupid, I see his news articles everytime, which are mainly about him getting caught making out with a brunette in some restaurant or outside his apartment building. Men are men after all, no matter how much you love them, they will move on eventually.

Since last week, I've decided about moving somewhere else from here. I can't rely from mom's assistance, I have to do something in order to earn some money. New-York seems to be a better place for opportunities in publishing. I already resigned from SIP, so I should be able to apply somewhere else. I am just worried about my limited work experience.

I fire up my mom's computer and began job hunting.

"Ana!" Mom shouts from downstairs,

"Coming"

I rush downstairs having scary scenerios in my mind. Mom is in a phone, talking to someone. She finally looks up,

"Hold on Daisy, I will talk to her,"

"What is it mom?" I ask

"Ana, do you remember my friend Daisy?"

"One of the bridesmaids at your wedding?"

"The very same one."

"So what is it?"

"Honey, she owns one of the most amazing five star restaurant in New York,"

"And?"

"I told her about your job hunting in New York, she also knows that you are not finding any positions. She says that she has a job opportunity for you," I knew this was coming.

Mom hands the phone to me.

"Hi Ana dear, how are you?" Daisy's friendly voice chirps into the phone. I've met her couple of times during mom's and Bob's wedding, she is a very kind lady. Even though she belongs to a wealthy class family, she never shows off her wealth, most of all, she helped my mom a lot after my biological father passed away.

"Hi. I am good, what about you? How is your health? I ask. From what I've heard from mom, Daisy is suffering from diabetes at the age of fifty five years.

" I am fine, just suffering from the usual old age symptoms," I can hear her laughter from the phone, "Anyways, that's not why I called, I want to discuss something important with you." And here we go again.

I know how important it is for mom to get me settled but she has to know that I want to do this by myself. Ana! My subconscious hisses at me, just because you have a fucking degree in English Literature doesn't mean that they will come knocking at your door for a job offer. You have to survive, if not yourself then do it for the sake of your unborn child. I touch my belly, taking in what the future will look like for me and my baby. I don't want my child to suffer from my stubbornness, I want to give him slash her the world, even if it means working as a waitress.

Before I began, I just want to apologize for this late update. I actually wrote this part yesterday but it got deleted and so I had to write it again. I am breaking up her trip to New York into parts, probably 3 parts, and don't worry, there is more to come.
