Hot 'n' Cold

23

CLEO'S POV

The last few weeks have been crazy, Adam has pretty much lost his mind. Jack just laughs at me telling me, that I'M crazy. Well then again, I've been in the amazon for a year, insanity comes with the territory.

"Adam, are you alright?"

"I'm ready to go home." I pushed through the last few vines and stepped into the sunlight. The town was alive, people were shopping and walking dogs. Well everyone except us, we were blinded by the sun. Its been a year, a year without Fish, my mom, and Rocky. And 2 years without my dad.

We jogged across town, anxious to get home.

"You did it babe!" Adam kissed me happily.

I was ready for a hot shower and A/C, and to finally sleep with my boyfriend, in a bed! We piled into the plane and wasted no time for takeoff.

After 30 hours, we landed back in Florida and was instantly ushered to the hospital. Each of us got our own hospital room. I sat on the bed, in the stupid gown as the doctor ran his tests.

"Ms. Stone, your blood work came back abnormal, I'll send someone in to discuss this."

Yeahhh because that wasn't strange...

"HI, Cleo. I'm Dr. Samuels from OBGYN." A young-looking woman came in and sat

down on a chair next to me. "Some of your blood cells are elevated. It's an indicator of pregnancy." I furrowed my eyebrows, Adam and I did have sex, a lot, without protection. So, it's very possible.

"It's possible." She clapped her hands and got to work on setting up an ultrasound.

"This is going to be cold." She squeezed a clear gel onto my stomach and pressed a wand on top of that. I looked at the monitor, the screen was empty, well until we found a young little fetus.

"Congratulations looks to be about 3 months." A tear escaped my eye.

"I'm having a baby!" She helped me get cleaned off and let me go home. I walked into the corridor where everyone was waiting for me.

"You've got quite the smile." Commented Jack.

"Of course, clean bill or health."

"In that case, let's go home and celebrate." Adam grinned and wiggled his eyebrows.

"No, we are going home, and YOU are going to shower."

"Well let's save water, and shower together."

"You get the basement bathroom."

We drove back to the sanctuary and split up. I was bouncing in my seat as we took the final turn into our cottage.

"Home sweet home." Adam wrapped his arm around my waist and led me inside. We dropped our packs on the porch. I grabbed my phone off the coffee table and went to take a shower. I turned on the water and stripped. There was no possible way of saving those clothes, so I tossed them into a garbage bag.

The hot water did wonders on my skin, removing the dirt, sand, and sweat. When I did step out my skin was 2 shades lighter, smelled like berries, and was shaved to absolute perfection.

Carefully I dried myself off, being especially careful around my stomach.

I don't want to hurt the mini person!

I grabbed one of Adams shirts and his clean boxers. The water from downstairs was still running, so I just figured a nap was the perfect thing at this point.

"Of course, we'll be there as soon as we can. Yeah, poor Cleo slept for 40 hours, its been a long year." I groaned and sat up, Adam stood against the door frame, in basketball shorts and some t-shirt.

"Good morning." I yawned.

"You mean afternoon, you slept for 2 days!"

"No way."

"Look at your phone princess." As usual, he was right, "get dressed, we need to go pick up Fish."

"You go change, no way you're going like that." I scolded.

I hopped out of bed and tossed on a black high-low dress and a pair of black stilettos. Adam decided to wear jeans and a dress shirt. We got into the car and drove to my old house.
