I ran out of the doctor's office to throw up.
"Sorry!."
I came back sat in.
"Congratulation Madam you...!."
"No, no, no, and no!."
I stop him
"Grace let him finish!."
Izzy shouts
"Please doctor continue!."
Izzy asks
"You are two weeks pregnant!. You will meet my nurse for some drugs against your nausea!."
the doctor concludes.
With that, we left his office, into Izzy's car!.
Izzy driving home. Aren't talking so the car is silent.
"I think, I will have to sleepover. Let me phone Joe."
Izzy murmurs in a low tone
"How will my family take this!. Or Andrew!. I am finished. I can't abort my first child."
Lost in my thoughts.
"Grace, Grace!. Get down of the car!."
Izzy screams
"Oh, sorry!."
I say
"I have been talking for minutes now, but no answer. Grace, talk to me. Tell me how you feel!. You know, I can't stand the silence!."
Izzy insists.
"Izzy, just one night!. Elizabeth said it!."
"Hey!. Don't do this, you can't control everything. You are old enough to have a child, financially stable, a CEO. etc.. You aren't the first single mum in the world. A child is a blessing!."
"I'm scared Izzy!."
I lay on her
"Don't be afraid. Let's go to bed!."
Izzy suggests
"No, call Elizabeth I need her insults!."
I tell
"She isn't insulting you know!."
"Just call her Izzy, if not I won't be able to sleep!."
"Okay as you wish!."
Izzy calls
{Phone ringing!.}
.
.
"Hello, baby, why the call?. I hope nothing is wrong!."
Eliza
"Am at Grace's place!..."
Izzy tries to clarify
"Passe me the phone!."
I stop her
"Elizabeth I am pregnant!."
I enunciate faster
"Oh, no. Grace, Grace oh. I don't know what to say. Congratulations, I guess it's what they say!."
Elizabeth nods her head, I can feel the dissatisfaction in her voice.
She offs the call.
"Let's go to bed now!. You need to sleep for two!."
Izzy explain
I cry, giggling at the same time all thanks to Izzy simplicity.
A few minutes later, knocks at my door.
"Who can this be?!."
We both wondered aloud
"If you girls don't open this door right now, I am going to call the cops!."
Elizabeth shouts crazily
"Hahaha!."
We cracked up
"Where is she!."
Elizabeth asks as soon as Izzy opens the door.
"In the room!."
Izzy nods at her point out
She rushes to me!.
"I am going to kill you!."
Elizabeth announces plunging on me in bed.
I couldn't hold my tears.
"Stop cry. I will kill you after the baby's birth!."
She kisses my forehead.
"A baby is a blessing. We are both pregnant at the same time!."
She gave me a soft babyface.
"I love you, girls!. I don't know what I would have done without you girls!."
I sob
"It's okay let's sleep. It's really late. We will chart tomorrow!."
The wrap their hands around me!. The night is really warm.
.
.
The next morning,
"Are you sure you want to go to work?."
Elizabeth inquires
"Yeah, I am fine!."
I say
"Happy to hear that!."
Izzy
With that, they left.
As I enter my office people stare at me like they are aware of my pregnancy. Anyway, it's the feeling I had.
My legs shudder.
"Welcome, Madam!."
My secretary says
As soon as I seat into my office, James barges in!.
"Graces, you haven't told me how you manage to become a CEO!. Or the number of men you slept with to get all this favor!. I have been here before you but you are a CEO. Just like that!."
James explains
"I won't permit this disrespect anymore!. James, you are fired!."
I got so mad, I couldn't stand his insults once more.
"It hasn't gotten to that!."
He says
"I am tire of these fake excuses without any change!. I don't even care about what you think of me. But you see this habit of entering my office like it's a cheese parliament. I hate it, nonsense!."
I yell
"Security!."
I call not to ever see the fool again.
"You are a hoe!."
James' last words.
"What's the issue with this guy?."
I Piaf, at his useless turmoil which cost him his job.
I was so dizzy and easily nauseous.
.
.
I get up from my nap.
"Andrew!."
I see him entering my office
"Am I dreaming?!. It's must be this pregnancy!."
I tell myself
"Grace!."
Andrew calls back
We both got lost in our gaze.
"Grace!."
Joshua enters breaking the silence.
"My father sent me here!. He said you were aware of my arrival!."
Joshua announces
"Yeah, he did but I wasn't expecting you this early, neither your elder brother!."
I answer Joshua gazing at Andrew
"Should I tell him?!."
I ask myself
"Oh, Andrew, he insisted to come with me, I don't know why. Anyway, don't mind him!."
Joshua keeps on talking
"I won't!."
I whisper
"Can I get a coffee somewhere!."
Joshua asks
I called my secretary
"Take Mr. Joshua round the building. Joshua, she will get you some coffee too!."
I explain
Joshua follows the secretary out!.
"My father is the owner of this and I am now going to work here with you guys!."
Joshua brags, trying to astonish the secretary.
Everyone knows Andrew, he is always by his father's side. While Joshua wasn't known by many.
Andrew and I in the same hall after weeks.
My legs are shivering. My lips jiggling.
I don't know what to do face to him.
"What do you think?. Should I tell him?."
