Healing a broken heart

Shocked much

Chapter 13

ELLAPOV

I'm still feeling crap every morning just constant indigestion all the time. Norman has been really sweet, he understands I'm not feeling good. I'm still working but things are making me feel nauseous especially the smell of eggs, which considering I use them for nearly everything I cook I'm sick nearly all the time, so I've had to work around it, but I'm not taking it anymore. I decided to go to the doctors and see what they can do for me.

"Ella Mackenzie."

"Hi. How can I help you today?"

"I've been sick I think I have food poisoning and now it's just constant indigestion and nauseous all the time."

"How long has this been going on?"

"About a month, it's getting worse I'm having trouble working."

"What do you do?"

"I'm a baker."

"Of Ella's cakes. My wife loves your things."

"Tell her I said thank you."

"So when was your last period?"

"I'm not sure I don't think I had an august one so I'd say the 12th of July."

"So you might be pregnant."

"That's a joke I can't have kids. That's what a doctor told me after the last one."

"When was that? What happened?"

"I was pregnant I had lost it from a beating and the doctor told me I wouldn't be able to have another. That was three years ago."

"Well let's just wipe that out of the equation. Take this and bring it back."

Pregnant no I couldn't be, that would just be mean. Especially since I don't know who's it is. I hope it's Norman's but I don't know. I give the sample to the doctor and tells me what I don't want to hear.

"Congratulations you're pregnant."

"Great thanks."

"I take it this isn't a planned baby?"

"I'm in shock and I was raped. So I don't know who the dad is."

"We can find out, this isn't a big deal."

"Yeah, it is. How do I tell my boyfriend I might be pregnant with another man."

"Ma'am, if he loves you he'd understand."

"I know, but how do I cope with it."

"There are options."

"No there isn't. There never was doc. Thanks."

"Hey if you need anything my door's always open. Come and talk I'll help you through this. Get you the help you need."

"Thanks."

I walked out of the doctor's and got into my car I start to cry. What if it's not Norman's I can't tell him about the baby there's a chance it's not his. What if it isn't his, that'd kill him and me? I decided to go straight home I'm not in the mood to see Norman tonight. I can't look at him and lie because that's what I'll be doing. Lying to the man I'm supposed to love. I saw his name pop up on my phone.

"Hi, Norman."

"Hey, beautiful."

"I'm not beautiful."

"Yeah, you are. I thought you were coming over I cooked dinner and everything."

"Oh, I'm sorry babe. I'm not feeling so crash hot now."
