Gold Love

Chapter Fourteen

Caroline's POV**

Ruth finally scheduled an appointment for me after weeks of crying. I just think about Calvin's angry gaze and I don't blame him. I didn't know what to say and I couldn't form any words. I wasn't expecting him.

He sends me text messages every single day asking for me to talk to him. I still don't really know what to tell him. I was late on my period so Roux insisted I take a second pregnancy test, two days after I took the first one. It was positive and Calvin looked happy that the first one was negative. I wasn't sure if he would be happy about this.

I still don't know how he feels about this pregnancy. I don't want him to feel like I'm his responsibility just because I'm pregnant with his baby.

I'm taking off work early today to go to my first doctor's appointment. I'm currently on my way up to the top floor to ask Calvin if he wants to go. I'm hoping he's busy and he won't make it. I haven't seen him for weeks since he found out.

"Hey, Nathaniel," I say as I walk up to his desk.

He gives me a small smile, "Hey. Here to see Calvin?" I smile and nod, I'm nervous. Maybe I shouldn't have come here. "You can go right in. He just got out of a meeting."

"Thanks." I smile and walk towards his doors. I take a big deep breath before I open them.

He looks up as he hears the doors open. He looks stunned to see me. I walk in and close the doors behind me. I'm not sure if Roux has told Nathaniel, but if she hasn't then I don't want him knowing yet.

"Caroline." He says and I don't know what to make of it. He doesn't seem mad, but he doesn't seem happy either.

"Hey." I sit down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. "I'm taking off early." I look down at my knotted fingers on my lap, before meeting his blue gaze again. "It's my first doctor's appointment and I was wondering if you wanted to be there too since this is your baby too."

He frowns, confused. "Are you sure you want me there?"

I shrug, "It's the right thing to do."

He shakes his head, "If me being there is going to make you uncomfortable then I'd rather not go. I want this to be a memorable and loving experience between you and the baby."

I feel the tears start to fill my eyes. That was very sweet. Does he really mean that? These damn hormones are starting to be a pain in the butt.

He gets up from his chair and walks over to me and sits on the chair next to me. He takes both of my hands in his.

"Why are you crying? What did I say?" He says softly.

"I'm scared." I decide to say. Which is true. I'm nervous and scared. I don't know what I'm going to hear at this doctor's visit. I still can't even believe this is real. I'm really pregnant.

"Shit." He says as he leans over and pulls me in his arms. "It's okay. I'll go with you."

He pulls back and wipes my tears off with his thumb. He stands up and grabs his phone and keys from inside a drawer of his desk. He walks back over to me and extends his hand for me to take. I take it unsure. I'm not sure if he's just accepting the pregnancy because I'm crying or because he's okay with it.

We walk out and he tells Nathaniel everything else that needs to be done throughout the day, which Nathaniel's eyes widen unsure if he'll be able to finish. Calvin reassures him, that it'll be no problem if he calls Mr. Gold for help, he would be happy to help if he just asks. Nathaniel looks at me for a moment, he knows something's wrong, but nods to Calvin.
