Intricate Love (Sinful Souls MC #2)(32)
Sitting in the doctor’s surgery, everything feels surreal. There are pregnancy catalogues spread out everywhere, and when I see the little babies on the front of them, it freaks me out. I can’t believe I am going to be responsible for another life! I can’t even look after myself.
“Victoria Abrahams?” A young, tall, perky nurse comes out from the reception area. I get up out of my seat and make my way to her. “Dr. Nesh will be ready in a second, take a seat,” she tells me as she leads me to his office. I sit in the seat that is opposite his. A few seconds later, Dr. Nesh walks in. He is a middle to late aged Indian man, and the best doctor that is currently in our area.
“Hello Victoria, what can I do for you?” He asks, as he takes a seat in his big important chair.
I take a deep breath before I begin. “I’m pregnant. I think. I mean, I took a pregnancy test and it said, you know. That I’m pregnant.” Wow Vicky, you sound very smart right now. I see on his face that he is trying not to look shocked; he knew my family, he knew my mother and father, and he knows that this can’t be a good thing.
“Okay,” he says. “Jump up on the bed, so I can have a feel around your stomach.” I get up onto the bed as he asks; pulling up my top as he starts to press down on my stomach.
“I’m going to do a scan, is that okay? You feel quite far along, so you can have an ultrasound; you won’t need a TVS.” I pause.
“Really? Okay, let’s do it then.”
After seeing my little baby on the screen, and hearing its little heartbeat, I know I will never be able to go through with a termination. I walk out of the doctors and get into my car.
Apologies
Pulling out into the traffic, I do a U-turn and make my way to the clubhouse. I decide that I need to vent. Once I get there, I get out of my car and quickly make my way into the bar area. Shit, it’s so nice in here. I see Harvey, and ask him to point me in Alaina’s direction, which he does. Once I get to her room, I push open her door and sit down on her bed, waiting for her to come out.
“Holy shit, Vicky!” She yells, clutching her towel in front of her when she walks in.
“I need to tell you something and it's not good, at all. And I don't know what to do.”
I say to her, fidgeting with my fingers. “Okay, I’m listening?”
I look up to her, as a tear breaks out of my eye. “I’m pregnant, Lain. Fucking pregnant!” I almost scream, throwing my hands in the air.
“What! Are you sure? When did you find out?” she looks shocked, exactly how I thought she would react. I decide to leave out that I found out yesterday, because I know that she will want to know why I didn’t tell her straight away.
“Just this morning. I've been feeling a little sick lately, and I think I knew deep down that something wasn’t right. But I was in denial, you know?” Saying it aloud makes it feel much more real.
“You disappeared last night, right before Zane went all ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane’ on me.” She says. I nod my head.
“I know, I noticed them come in but I was trying to run away from them. I'm sorry Lain; I tried to get your attention, but you were on project ‘be-a-whore’ so I couldn't. I'm so sorry; I'm a horrible friend for just ditching.” I feel bad about it, anything could have happened. If it weren’t for the fact that Zane that was there, I wouldn’t have left her though.
“Seriously, it is fine, don’t worry about it. I can't believe this, though. And it's Blake’s? Not Jesse’s or anything?” It would only be natural for her to ask me this, but Jesse and I haven’t seen each other since before spring break, and we always used a condom.
“Yes it’s Blake’s; I haven’t touched Jesse in months. Since before summer break. Fuck Alaina, we haven't spoken to each other in two weeks, since I found out he was using me.”
She pales, before starting to apologise, “Oh fuck I'm so sorry, I forgot all about that. There’s just been too much going on —” I cut her apologies off.
“Lain, you have so much drama going on, it's fine. You didn't do anything wrong.”
She sits beside me. “What are you going to do? I will support you whatever you decide to do, you know that, right?” I smile; this is exactly why I can never live without this girl.
“I know. I’d better get going, but how was the rest of your night?” I ask. Her face lights up like Christmas. Say no more. “It was… surprising.” I laugh as I go to make my out of her room, eager to get the fuck out of there before Blake comes back. I quickly poke my head back into her room. “Please don't say anything to Zane yet. I haven't told Blake, and I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I might just head to the ranch for a bit and turn my phone off until I figure it out. If you need me, call that phone.” I decide right then that I want to go and spend some time at our family ranch. Well, it was our family ranch until the divorce; now it’s where my dad and his girlfriend live. He will not get in my way, and I’ll just hide in the guesthouse. “Of course Vick, I love you.”
