Confession of A profession

Chapter 6 "Lost"

I can't believe that we're having a baby boy, even though a girl is what we wanted were still over joyed. "Now we have to start planning the gender revel." Aaliyah was so excited to help me plan. She already had ideas. But there was one thing I needed to do. I needed to tell Marcus about everything before someone got to him first. I drove back to my house to find a Marcus laid out on the couch. "Marcus wake up , wake up we need to talk." He didn't move. I started to panic, i decided to call 911. I didn't need this right now I needed to tell him everything. I can't lose him I still love him.

The paramedics arrived and quickly rushed him off and didn't tell me anything. I started to think of all the good times we had and also what i put him through. "Can I ride with him ?" "Are you his wife ?" I froze for a second and thought about the words wife, am i really his wife did I want to be anymore? " Yes I am Carrie Lowery." I got in the ambulance and just cried. Some people would call me selfish for crying because i haven't been around him. But he's still my husband and I still love him. Just not sure if i'm in love with him.
We finally arrived at the hospital and they rushed him to ICU. I called Aaliyah and told her to meet me there. Meanwhile Jeremey kept blowing up my phone. I couldn't bare to talk to him. As of now he was out of my life. Aaliyah finally showed up and we just sat quietly until the doctor came out. " Mrs. Lowery , I have some bad news. Your husband took some pills and well we got him in, in time but his condition is critical. He will need to stay we us for awhile." I had no words I ran into the room and kneeled beside him. " I'm sorry Marcus, I'm so sorry. Please get better!" I just sat there and poured my heart out.
Aaliyah finally came in the room and pulled me out, the doctors took him back into the OR. "i'm staying here with him. I'm not leaving." " You can't stress over this you're pregnant. You need to think things over . it's either Marcus or Jeremey" I didn't want to think about that right now especially not Jeremey. Marcus needs me.
I stayed with Marcus for about two weeks and everyday Aaliyah brought me things and clothes. Marcus made progress of getting better slowly. " Hey Carrie how you holding up ?" " I'm fine still pondering on what i'm going to do. I know i shouldn't be confused about this but it's hard." Being in this hospital for two week I haven't been to work so I had to put my clients with Aaliyah so i know this have hard on her as well. " I know I know but you can't just sit in here forever you need to get back to work, I can't just keep taking your clients I have my own! I not trying to rush you or stress you out but they are talking about kicking you out of the building." She was right I needed to get back to work and clear my head of this.
The next day I decided that I would head back to work and take time to throw myself into my work. I took my usual clients and as the day went on I couldn't focus. I had a break between sessions and Jeremey showed up. "You've been avoiding me ? " no i just been busy taking care of things with Marcus ." He smirked at me " Marcus ? You're "husband" i thought i told you that you don't need him and i don't want my child around him!" I was suddenly scared I never saw this side of him before. " Um excuse me ? For your information i'm still married to him and still love him so if i want to be with my husband while he's in the hospital I will! Now if you excuse me I have work to do." I pointed to the door. " Babe i'm sorry I just want you to myself. And I want you to be taking care as well as our child." I continued to point to the door. " Okay I see i'll just call you later" He finally left and Aaliyah came in the room excited . " what's up with you ?" " You won't believe what just happened!" I gestured for her to tell me. " I got a date with the finest man in this office." The man she was referring to was my new assistant Chad, Mary quit after I went missing in action for awhile and couldn't handle the work load. " Wow my assistant Chad really." "Yes girl he asked me out, i saw him staring at my.." "Whoa to much to know!" She told me when the date was and wanted me to help her pick an outfit out so we went shopping at lunch. Jeremey kept calling none stop and texting. I finally picked up . ' What !' 'Don't what me, I just wanted to ask when the next appointment is ?' ' it's Thursday at 10am' I hung up the phone in anger. I never had anyone talk to me like that and he wasn't about to start.
Thursday morning Jeremey and I were at my appointment to get a check up on the baby. "Everything looks fine and your condition is clearing nicely" Jeremey looked confused. "uh excuse me doctor what are you talking about , what condition ?" "Well um i'm not a liberty to discuss that with you if Mrs. Lowery doesn't want you to know. But you're all done here see you in three weeks." We left the doctor and Jeremy looked angry. "What the hell was she talking about!" " Your not going to sit and yell at me, i just contracted the clap okay. You had to give it me!" "You have what !?" Jeremey began to get even more upset.
I turned my head and the light was red but we were still going at very fast speed.
"Jeremey slow down! The light is re..!"
