Our Memories......The Second Time Around

Chapter Ten

6 months later: 

Can was laying flat on his back, arms spread out, trying to catch his breath. Covered in a film of sweat, with nothing but a sheet draped over the lower part of his body. Sanem was talking to him from the kitchen, "Can do you want some ice cream, it's chocolate, your favorite, we don't have time to cook any lunch now....and you know why." She call out to him.  He smiled, "Yes Sanem, I would love some ice cream, and I do know why, and I have no regrets." He yelled. " Do you want whipped cream on it? She asked. " That would be great." Can answered, his head still in a fog from their mid-day romp. She walked in the bedroom in only his white t-shirt on, and two bowls of ice cream. She crawled up in the middle of the bed, handed him his bowl, " You know, I really like these long lunch breaks we've been taking."  She teased, pinching at his upper thigh with her toes. She gave him one of her sideways look saying, "Will we always hide out for lunches like this, or will you get tired of me in a few more months." She questioned with a smile. Can set his bowl down, threw back the sheet and bounded across the bed at her, making her scream with delight. " I'll never in a million years, get tired of you, never." He growled at her. She was trying not to dump her ice cream and trying to keep him from getting things started again. 

Thirty minutes later, they are finally getting dressed to head back to the agency. Sanem had just stepped into her panties when she felt a wave of nausea come over her. She suddenly sat down on the end of the bed as she begin to feel dizzy, " Wow, that ice cream isn't making my stomach feel very good. " She snarled, holding her stomach.  " What, you're not feeling well?"  Can replied,  turning to look at her, "Sanem, are you ok, you look pale." She laid back on the bed and Can set down beside her grabbing her hand. That was her mistake, she had no sooner laid back, until it felt like everything inside was coming up,....and it did. Can was pacing back and forth behind her as she hung on to the toilet, ridding herself of everything she had eaten for days. After a while she was able to stand and wash her face, Can held her hair back as she splashed the cold water on her face, and neck. " That's it Sanem, you're not going back to the office today, just go back to bed." He demanded. She shook her head, " No, I'm fine now, it was just that ice cream, I should have eaten something solid. I'm fine." She reassured him. The lightheaded feeling was still lingering, but she wasn't telling Can. 

She tried to act normal as they drove back to the office, but the motion of the car ride was playing havoc on her again. They had only taken a three hour lunch, for the third time this week, so she knew they needed to get back to work quickly. Sanem walked in to her office, searching for her chair, swallowing hard to keep the inevitable from happening. Leila stuck her head in the door, " Sanem, you must stop doing this, three hours, really." She laughed. But Sanem didn't laugh, she just laid her head on the desk. Her sister took a serious look at her,   " Sanem, are you ok, you look almost green." She took her hand and patted it, and felt of her forehead for a fever. Sanem waved her away, just her touch was making her queasy, and dizzy. Within a minute she was headed back to the restroom, and there she stayed for nearly twenty minutes. Leila ran to get Can, pulling him from a call with a new client. " Can, she been in there throwing up for a good while now, I think she has a stomach bug or food poisoning or something. Can busted in the door, seeing her sitting on the floor, trying to catch her breath. " Sanem, come on your going to the hospital, your white as a sheet." He yelled. 

She waved at him, motioning to him she needed water. Leila ran to get a bottled water for her. Can sat down on the floor beside her cradling her in his arms. " Sanem this isn't just the ice cream, we're going to the hospital, come on." He ordered. She surrendered and stood to leave, but the dizziness waved over her body, making her collapse against Can. He immediately scooped her up in his arms and headed to his car, with Leila in tow. Everyone in the office was staring in disbelief.  Deren yelled to Leila to let them know what has going on. Luckily the hospital wasn't to far from the agency. The fresh air made her feel better but the nausea just wouldn't go away. Can was a wreck, stroking her hair and rubbing her hand, and trying to drive.   " Can, I'm fine, it's ok. She assured him. " No, your not ok, and you're going to the hospital. No discussion." His voice quivering from nerves. She wouldn't fight with him about it, she knew something wasn't right. He got her inside just in time for her to run for the bathroom again.

 The nurse got her settled in a bed, with Can sitting on the edge holding her hand. She was beginning to feel a bit better, but Can was cornering every nurse and doctor that came by, demanding they look at her. Finally the doctor came, doing his regular exam, and asking a lot of questions. Can was ordered to wait outside in the hall, so they could get the answers from just one person. Leila tried to calm him, but that was easier said then done. Blood work was ordered and now it was just a waiting game. They couldn't rule out anything until the blood work came back.  With the lab back up a bit, it took over an hour to get results. Sanem was feeling almost back to  normal, with the exception of being so hungry she thought she would die. For her comfort they brought her some crackers to munch on. Can paced the whole time, back and forth, making Sanem a nervous wreck. " Can, please sit down, you are making me dizzy again, they will be here soon." She motioned for him to sit on the bed. Emre had called Leila for an update so he could calm the office down, just as the doctor came in. Leila was trying to get off the phone with Emre, as the doctor talked to Can and Sanem.  " Well Mrs.Divit, we have your results, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of any abnormalities, and we ruled out a stomach bug, and food poisoning." He said. Can put his hands on his hips, " Doctor, there's got to be something, she was deathly sick and dizzy, you need to run the tests again." He demanded. " You can't tell me there's nothing that caused this."  The doctor smiled, " No I can't tell you that, but what I can tell you is, Mrs. Divit you are approximately 6 weeks pregnant. So this type of thing will probably be happening again." He stated. 

Can looked at Sanem with eyes wide in shock, Leila put her hands over her mouth to muffle her scream. " Excuse me doctor, what did you say." Sanem stuttered. "Did you say pregnant, like with a baby." She asked in amazement. Can sat, still staring off into space. " A baby, are you sure," He mouthed, barely able to speak. " Yes Mr. Divit, I'm sure." The test was very positive." 

Can took her hand, his head spinning from the news. He laid his head down letting the tears come. Sanem smiled, that had never occurred to her, but suddenly it made perfect sense. She lifted his face to hers, kissing his cheeks as the tears ran. " Can, your going to be a daddy, we are going to have a baby, I can hardly believe it. 

" Sanem, my love, you are perfect and beautiful and I love you more than I thought possible." 

This woman had made him the happiest he had ever been....
