FULL NOVELXO Chapter CHAPTER 26
I was looking at some files when Ana came into my cabin, carrying my coffee. She slipped and dropped the coffee cup on the floor. “Watch out, clumsy.” “Sorry.” “What happened?” Then I saw her face; she looked pale. It was barely morning, but she was looking exhausted. “What happened? Are you okay? I made her take a seat on the couch and checked her temperature, and it was normal. “Are you okay?“; “Yeah, I am, but you look exhausted”; “I didn’t have anything that might be the reason”; “And why didn’t you have?“; “I am not able to eat anything; it’s getting vomited. For the past few days, I have been able to have only selected foods. If I see some food, I feel nauseous and also dizzy. I am not getting what is happening to me.” “Have you consulted a doctor?” “No, not yet.” Thank God for that. “Ok, come, let’s go.” “Right now, what? Why?” She started crying. Please someone tell me why the hell she was crying. “Is it something serious? Do I have an incurable disease? Am I going to die?“.
“What the hell, are you gone mad? When did I speak about anything related to dying or a disease?” “Then what is this sudden change in your behavior showing concern for me?” “Because for the past few days, you have been feeling this way and haven’t bothered to consult a doctor, so I am taking you now. Is it a crime? Please stop crying; common, let’s go to the hospital. With that, I dragged her along and didn’t bother to hear her response.
I know what happened at last. I am getting the expected result. I need to get confirmation. I have called my friend Zack, who is a doctor specializing in dealing with pregnancy. Now my biggest concern was Ana. How the hell was I going to handle her?
We were at the hospital; she gave blood and urine samples, and we were waiting for the result. Again, she started crying. What the hell with this crying? Don’t tell me this is one of the symptoms. If this were the case, how the hell am I going to bear it for nine months? I couldn’t take it anymore.
“Why are you crying?“; “What if I got cancer or something incurable? What about Aaron?“; “The result has not yet come; everything will be normal; don’t worry and please stop crying for God’s sake”; “I am not getting why me”; “What do you mean?“; “I mean, you have done so many bad things, used so many people to get your way, enjoyed your life fullest, and every way, here you are sitting healthy and sound; on the other hand, I didn’t see anything in life, didn’t do anything wrong, always minding my business, and only a few months I am able to spend with Aaron; why me? Why not you?“.
This one always tempts me to do something; why the hell will she re-assure me every fucking time? And on top of it, “I never felt this way before I was falling sick; nothing like this.” Thank God for that, I guess. “Only a few more minutes will get a result till then. Try not to talk, please. I really need to think of something else now.“.
Zack called us, and we were in his cabin. “Well, congratulations, Ana; you are pregnant.” “What? Wait, I am not getting it. Could you repeat it, doctor, what you just said?” “Well, you are pregnant, Ana?” “Pregnant? No, no, how the hell is even possible, he was using a condom, and I was on birth control pills there must be something wrong please check the result once again, I am ready to give samples please test it once again, it’s impossible”, “Well, Ms. Ana it is possible and you are pregnant, no matter how many times we conduct the test”, I was trying my best to suppress my happiness she turned towards me, “You were using a condom right tell him that bastard, question him how the hell are you so calm I am bloody pregnant are you even getting that, pregnant I knew you are always a disaster to me but how the hell I end up becoming pregnant that too with your child”, “Well I guess you both need time to digest the news I will be outside”, with that Zack exited the cabin, by giving a knowing smile.
“I am pregnant is it even possible after taking so many precautions”, “Yes looks like it’s possible and the result is on our hands”, “Oh no, why the hell did I agree to sleep with you again and end up getting pregnant I am not going to keep this child I will abort it”, “What”, “Yes abortion, call him, your friend right tell him to abort this child”, “Are you crazy hell no, it’s mine too alone how can you take such a decision I am not going to agree for any abortion”, “It’s my body I am going to do whatever I want and I am not going to keep this child”, “As I said I am not going to allow you are keeping that’s final”, “Are you mad bastard, you are engaged, your fiancée is a maniac if she comes to know she will kill me for sure, I am going to abort it no matter what”, “It’s my child you are giving birth safely and sound as far as Patricia leave her to me”.
She was silent for a while and, of course, crying, Oh God, “Listen Ana, if you don’t want this child, then fine, you end up getting pregnant we didn’t plan this is my first child, and I am so keeping it with or without your wish you are going to give birth it’s a matter of a few months then you can go your own way I won’t stop you, you can completely ignore the existence of this child ok”, “How can I do that bastard I am going to be a mother it will be my flesh and blood how can I forget my child existence”, “We can do co-parenting”, “But I don’t want to give birth to your child”, “Don’t you think it’s too late for that you are fucking pregnant with my child”, “Why are you shouting at me”, “I am not, I am speaking with you in a normal tone: “You are shouting at me”, “Ok sorry”.
I sat beside her and spoke, “You are not heartless I know that, keep this child will do co-parenting don’t you want your own child of course, not with me, but as I said, it’s too late, can’t undo anything, it’s just ‘fetus’ now soon going to take human shape don’t you want to enjoy those things you are shocked not able to digest this news but something will be beyond our hand now you are pregnant and I want this child no matter what please make up your mind only 9 months, carry my child”, “It’s mine too”, “Yes sorry our child will discuss everything later, at the right time”, “What about the psychopath once she comes to know about this I am so done with my life”, “As I said I will take care of her, concentrate on your pregnancy ok, can’t you give a second thought”, Yeah you are giving birth to our child, and that’s final”, with that I called Zack.
So, I hope you both concluded, “Yes, can I know other details?” “Yes, there will be a monthly check-up; I have prescribed some medicine; you have to take that, Ana?” “Ok,” and he explained a few other things. After that, we exited the cabin. “On the way, we will pick up Aaron. We should tell him this news. I bet he will be damn happy.” “I will tell him at the right time. You are not going to do any such thing. You have already messed up enough. Spare me for a while, ok?” “Yeah, ok, don’t take too much stress.” “Knock it off, I mean it, this carrying bullshit things.” “Well, as the days pass, it will get beyond baby; try to embrace it.” “Oh, shut up.” We were in the car. “Try to sleep; I will wake you after reaching home.” “Hmmm.“.
We reached home. I prepared food, and all of us had it together. It was becoming routine, and I started liking it. This gave me the perfect family feeling. Soon, one more member is going to add up. For now, this feels good. I want it to be this way. I made sure Aaron had his food, and Ana also had her medicine, and finally, we were in bed.
Ana was peacefully sleeping beside me. It was not even the first term completed yet; she was done with her pregnancy. Pregnancy is very good, and most of the time it’s painful not only for girls but for boys too. I’m glad I’m enjoying this with her. I made the right decision by choosing this one. It was time to take a second step. This news for sure reached Patricia anytime she would be in front of me with loads of questions about how the hell I was going to handle her. Before that, I should make sure Ana is safe and sound.
Ana took 2 days of leave, and that was enough for me. Bloody hell, I never knew I was cunning as hell. No wonder Ana hates me to the core. Here I am sitting in my cabin waiting for a barge in of Ana at any time, of course, not carrying my coffee.
As my countdown completed, Ana came running to my cabin and asked, “Did you check emails and group chat?” “What emails and chats?” “Nothing came to your notice; it’s only been two days, and pregnancy news spread all over the company, and everyone is talking about my pregnancy bastard. My emails are full of cursing from unknown emails and also a few known ones. The same goes with group chat; they are questioning and threatening what the hell I’m supposed to do now. It’s only been two days since this news got leaked. Oh god, by this time, for sure, news had reached Patricia too. Where should I hide now? I don’t know; I want to hide now. In any case, I don’t want to face Patricia, no matter what; she will kill me without showing any mercy. Will I be the headline for my pregnancy or for getting mercilessly killed? How the hell are you not aware of anything, and dam fucking you are calm, not doing anything?” “Will you rel...“, “Don’t fucking tell me to relax. Who will be relaxed when aware of facing a psychopath and knowing the next target will be you? Oh god, I am going to die at a young age because of you, bastard. You will go to hell. Trust me, Aaron, what about my baby’s future? and she was crying great.
“Oh god, will you stop it for god sake? Why are you working up so much? Let me handle this, ok?” “How the hell did this news spread so soon?” “I don’t know; let me handle this, ok?” “If you get involved, don’t you think things will get worse? Oh god, how am I going to face everyone? How can I continue working here with their questions and cursing, and who knows what else will be added? “Why the hell I will regret when things went out of my hand didn’t I told you jerk, this pregnancy would ruin everything because of you I invited a horror movie into my life”, “Will you fucking stop crying for a minute at least”, “I am trying bastard but I am not able to stop my tears do you got a problem with my crying too, how the hell everything ended up with such a heartless bastard I am not getting”.
One thing I got to know only in two days: things should be handled calmly, especially with Ana because of her pregnancy, or I don’t know if she is becoming unbearable. I gave Ana a tissue and spoke, “Your tears are not going to solve any problem; as I said, let me take care of it.” “Today it has been spread only within the company; soon it will be all over the media; things will get worse; why are you not getting that? How the hell am I going to work in this environment? The coming days would be more than worse.” “Shall I suggest you something?” “What is it?” “Work from home?” “What?” “Till this pregnancy, do your work from home so that you don’t need to face anyone, and also move in with me.”.
“Why the hell should I move in with you? Are you mad already situation is getting worse adding to the same I should move in, hell no”, “Trust me this news will get calm within a few days I will make sure of it why I am suggesting moving in because this is your first pregnancy and you don’t know anything about it I am not going to take any risk this is my first child I want it to be healthy and safe so move in with me I got caretaker, Mrs. Nelson, I know her more than 10 years she knows about these things very well she is going to take care of you”, “That makes sense but what about Aaron”, “Of course, Aaron too he will stay with us, do one thing you go from here to my home directly I will call Mrs. Nelson and inform her everything, on my way I will pick Aaron and come to home ok I will take care of shifting your things too”, “Don’t you think everything is going too fast”, “This is the best way to handle this situation if you are in my care, I can solve everything, concentrate on your pregnancy rest leave it to me”.
