ch2. His Amaryllis

I woke up to a sharp pain in my stomach, it's been three months since I got divorced. I moved to my uncle's house as he could help me with college stuff. Mom would drop by every day, she would reassure me. And be my rock.

I was taking summer courses to finish college earlier. Josh was so annoyed when Dominic; his father assigned him with me for summer courses. He just never wanted to study.

I turned on the lights to look at the clock which reads 02:37. I tried to calm my breathing but the pain won't go. I tried to stand up but couldn't breathe. I reached for my phone and called mom. She answered sleepy, "mom..." I said crying out of pain. "What is it, sweetie." She said worriedly. "My stomach, it's hurting me so much!" I cried out and she shouted to my dad. "What?!" I heard him scream.

"We are coming right away." I heard her say as she cut the line. After a couple of minutes I heard Josh and Dominic voices they entered the room and they saw me. "Dila what's wrong?" They asked. Uncle looked at me. "You are sweating, we need to go to the hospital." He said as he picked me up. "Josh get the car." He ordered his son, "get me and her clothes now.." he ordered a maid then he rushed me downstairs. He laid me into the back seats and that's when I blackout.

I heard voices around me, I opened my eyes and saw a doctor. He smiled, "good morning Miss Vince, I am doctor Mark Davila. How are you feeling?" He asked, "I feel good. Is everything alright?" I asked looking around. "I made your family wait outside. I wanted to talk to you first." He said making me worried.

"Are you having trouble in your life?" He asked, "I have summer classes and I have exams in a month..." he nodded. "Were you stressing a lot?" He asked and I nodded. "I got divorced three months ago," I said and he nodded understanding. "I think you don't know you are pregnant." I looked at him dumbfounded, "you are three months and to be specific, 11 weeks." He said and I looked at him shocked. "Do you want your family to know?" He asked but I couldn't reply. I looked at my stomach. "That could not be happening. I am not showing at all." I pointed out and he sighed. "You can't be showing as you are only three months and you've been eating badly, you need to be careful and do not ever starve yourself you might hurt the baby." He informed me.

"I want my mother in here... and could you tell them the news but don't allow anyone else except my mother," I said as my eyes teared up. After five minutes mom came in and she smiled at me, she rushed to hug me and I sobbed in her embrace.

"What should I do mom! I don't want to lose the baby..." I said and she cupped my face in her hands as she wiped my tears. "You will not lose the baby... we will be by your side. We can raise the baby well." Mom assured me. "Dila..." my Uncle walked in as his eyes showed glitter in them. He was holding himself. He hugged me tightly as he patted my back.

"I will protect you no matter what, I will." He said as I sobbed in his arms. After a while, the doctor walked in and gave us information about the baby's status. He gives me some vitamins and advice as it's my first pregnancy at an age of 22...

When I came back with my uncle. He convinced my parents and especially my mother to live in his mansion for at least my pregnancy period. He was afraid that I might need something and he wouldn't know what to do.

After six months, I was currently in the ninth month of the first week. The doctor told me to take it easy with college so I just went to exams and I studied at home.

I was craving for vanilla ice cream when my brother walked in, he grinned showing me the ice cream in his hand. "I got some strawberries and chocolate ice cream... wanna watch a movie." He smiled eagerly as he moved his eyebrows up and down. "Don't you have a test at school?" I asked and he groaned. "I am saying ice cream and you are saying test..." he said jumping beside me as he put the tray of ice cream in my lap. "I wanted vanilla," I whispered and he chuckled. "That's why I requested every flavor... Josh is currently paying." He said laughing and I laughed along. "You are so evil." Josh came into my room and laid beside me giving me the rest of the ice cream. "How is my nephew.," he said kissing my belly. "He is hungry for ice cream," I started taking a spoon full of vanilla. Heaven, here I come.
We ended watching a movie and then I drifted to sleep.
