A Blessing In Disguise.

Chapter 4

I stayed with her for a little while before heading off to my room, grabbing my cell I ignored all the messages and missed calls then called the Cedars-Sinai medical Hospital to schedule an appointment for a Saturday, since it will probably be the only free time I will have. Later that evening, Eva and I made lasagna for dinner then watched some weird comedy sitcom before going to bed. In bed, leaning on my sides, i stared up at the night sky through my room window, wondering what life has in store for me this time. Rubbing my tummy I signed and closed my eyes, letting sleep take me into its warm embrace. When I woke up the next morning, bright lights coing in from the window glare directly in my face an I groaned, rolling over to the other side with a small yawn which turned into a scream when my face came unexpectedly close with Jen's.

She knelt at the side of my bed, with her chin resting on the mattress while staring at me. Sitting up, I pu my hand to rest of my rapidly beating heart and yelled. "what the hell jen? you scared the freak out of me!"

"have you forgotten you have a job now missy? Its 8:00am already." she said sternly and I cursed under my breathe, untangling myself from the covers to rush into the bathroom.

I brushed quickly, then took a shower before rushing out. Walking into the closet I rummaged for a pair of shorts and found a white one, then picked out a blue tank top, wearing them. Choosing to wear sandal instead of sneakers, I combed my blonde hair then packed it up into a loose bun and ran downstairs. Jen handed me a plate full of spaghetti and a glass of water. "are you okay? Should you be rushing like this?" she asked with a worried frown and I waved a dismissive hand in the air.

"am fine, and I didn't have morning sickness today so maybe its finally gone." I ate quickly then rushed out the door, heading for josh's house, feeling deep levels of excitement coursing through my body. Taking several deep breathes I knocked lightly on the front door and waited for him to answer. A few minutes passed and there was still no reply, so I tried the door knob and raised an eyebrow in surprise when it turned freely. Entering, I cautiously called out. "hello, josh, josh are you here?"

"here!" he responded, his voice sounding muffled or so. "you can come up, am in the attic." In the long hallway is an iron staircase leading up to an open part of the celling, climbing up I grimaced since it was a little dark, the air too stale and the place is packed with a lot of junk reaching high to the 6ft celling. Inside, I noticed a lone light bulb that gave the room a dim glow and turned to see josh sitting cross-legged at the far conner of the room with a large box in front of him. Crawling over to his side, I made a lot of noise so I wouldn't startle him then sat down, also crossing my leg.

"what are we doing today?" I asked.

"clearing out the attic and the basement," he replied, shoving an half-filled box of junk towards me. "we're going to be taking out all the old useless stuff from the attic and basement, leaving only the useful ones in here. Sorry in advance for any dust that's going to disturb you. Gram called me yesterday to ask if I could help clear out the space since they're not living here anymore. My gramps has always been a pack-rat and never allowed Gram to touch both places but now that they're gone, she sneakily called me." he explained with a fond smile.

"its fine, if the dust gets too much I will go downstairs to rest for a bit and get some fresh air." I responded and he nodded with a grateful smile.

We spent the next 6hours clearing the attic and basement and I only had to get out twice because of the dust, josh hadn't been joking when he said his gramps was a pack-rat. We had to throw majority of the stuffs cluttering the attic and basement away. He even had one of those old first generation computers called ENIAC down in the basement, which josh and I decided it was best to call a professional to help move it out. we decided to keep it in his garage along with the other stuff we plan to sell off. "well I for one am glad that's over and done with." I stated with a groan, using my hand to wipe away the perspiration on my forehead. I sat down on one of the high stool in front of the counter in his kitchen while josh stood by the stove making us lunch.
