Isabelle's pov

**NEXT MORNING.**

Mama drives me to the hospital, she made a few calls yesterday and managed to get me an appointment.

We arrive in the hospital, I'm so nervous.

I'm not a hospital person, I know the irony with my mum being a doctor, I just don't like them.

To me they symbolise two things life and death and we all know the part I dread... I don't want to go into that.

Oh the doctor is finally here.

"Hello I'm Doctor Pihu kumar, nice to meet you."

The doctor introduces herself.

"Hello Doctor kumar, its so nice to meet you too."

I say.

"Hello Pihu!... How are the kids? And your husband?"

The doctor laughs with my mum as they make light conversation.

Then she asks me questions and talks about pregnancy care and, later on I lay on the table to get the ultrasound checked.

I'm 11weeks gone now....

The cold gel is applied to my stomach, and the doctor moves the wand around my belly for a few seconds and soon, I hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time and I hold my mum's hand and we cry.

I can't believe it!... In a few months that heart beat will be an actual little person.

I'm going to be a mother!

My mum had already scheduled an interview with the immigration office, concerning my visa application.

I can't wait for a fresh start, for my baby and I.

I have to call Nadia, to give her the go ahead to speak to Bo.

Her phone rings a few seconds, and she picks.

"Hey baby."

She says happily.

"Hello darling, how're you?"

"I'm so gooooddd!"

"Wow you seem excited... Who did you kill?"

"I Won't say kill, I'll just say I fulfilled my promise."

"Okay?... I'm a bit confused, explain Nad."

"Imagine the nerve of Ray to show his face in my house... I broke his nose! I told you guys I will, first opportunity I get."

"Whoa Nadia!"

"What?... Don't defend that loser."

"I'm here trying to hold my dad from breaking his legs and there you are breaking his nose... What will I do with you  two?..."

"Mr A, was my mentor remember... I need to give him a call and let him know I did the job."

"Was he badly hurt?"

"I'll pretend I didn't hear you asking if he's hurt... How're you and peanut?"

"I just want to know if he's okay, that's all."

"He doesn't deserve to be okay, and if he is, Then he's a bigger fool."

"I can't believe that silly nickname stuck... Peanut it is then."

"Peanut it is!"

"We went to see a doctor, to get an ultrasound and vitamins and all those procedures..."

"Oh that's nice? Did you get a heartbeat or something?"

"Yes we got a heartbeat Nadia, it was so beautiful."

She goes on and on about being the baby's godmother.

"I'm ready for the move, you can call Bo."

"I already called Bo, she's waiting"

"Of course you did, never the one to waste time."

We talk about other stuff, like her business, her boyfriend.

It's still so surprising for me Nadia has a boyfriend... That's because, she wasn't exactly a girly girl. She was a big time Tom boy.

Then one day she makes up her mind to go to cosmetology school, next thing she announces she has a boyfriend.

Her mum was convinced she was a lesbian... That still makes me laugh.

I'm happy that she's happy.

I make a mental note to chat with Jess later, right now I have a resignation letter to write to introspect.

Whew!... One hour later and I'm finally done with the letter.

I click send and let out a breath I was holding the whole time I was typing.
