The weeks that went by has been pretty boring,just doing the same thing over and over again. Wake up in the morning,eat,go to work, come back home and have sex.
But lately I haven't really been feeling okay. I'm dull, moody and have fever like everyday.
I have noticed my period has also been late but I don't want to get excited because it might not be what I am thinking.
I have been keeping this to myself but I think Erica has noticed, that is why she bought me a pregnancy test yesterday. I haven't taken it because I am afraid of the outcome. I don't want to be disappointed,so I have asked Erica to help me with it.
She is now making some sandwiches for Grayson and I.
Speaking of Grayson, we have gotten along pretty well. His kids are here pretty often now a days. We have bonded alot and they seem to speak highly of their mom.
I wish to meet her one day,I like Piper alot,she is more care free but Annalise is more reserved and quiet. She acts like the overprotective big sister, scolding her sister and helping her with school work.
"Anne the food is done. Come in here now" I hear Erica yell from the kitchen. That girl.
Thank God Flynn isn't around lately,he would have scolded her.
Speaking of him also,he has been acting sus lately. Taking weird calls,not returning home early and not even spending time with me during the weekend.
I always want stay positive and not think negative that is how I was raised. I don't want to be the one to start accusations and become toxic in the relationship.
My marriage is healthy and I wouldn't let any suspicion ruin it.
I walk into the kitchen to see Grayson already stuffing his face with the beef sandwich and cranberry juice.
"Hey I'm here. Can we do it before I eat because I'm nervous"I say nervously rubbing my hands together. It is almost winter time so the weather is chilly.
"Okay sure. Just chill okay everything will be fine"she reassures me.
Grayson looked at us confused but we waved him off and headed to the bathroom in the east wing.
.
"Okay what does it say"I asked Erica nervously.
"Dude,chillax, I'm now going to check,the three minutes is now up"she groans.
She walks to the sink while I pace back and forth anxiously.
"So what does it say"I asked worriedly as I stand still and looked at Erica who eyes were wide and in a state of shock.
"Po..Po.. positive. You are pregnant Anne"she whispers looking at me with tears in her eyes.
I was now paralyzed,in utter shock. I can't believe,I am pregnant. I have a child growing inside me,I am going to be a mother.
I cover my mouth as I begin to sob.
"Anne ...." Erica comes to hug me also crying.
"I can't believe it Erica,I'm going to be a mother. I am finally going to be called mom"I cry into her shoulder.
"I am so happy for you Anne. This is great news. Flynn would be so happy" Erica whispers.
"Yeah,he would be so estactic, he has always dreamt of being a dad and now he is going to be one" I tell her.
"I know,but not to be a pooper but we need to make sure it is accurate. We need to call the family doctor for some blood test " Erica says and I nod.
"Yeah,I'm going to make an appointment with him right now. I just can't believe this is real. Oh and I also need to call the Gynecologist my mom recommended for me" I tell her.
I fixed myself in the mirror and rubbed my flat tummy with big smile.
We got out and walked hand in hand back to the kitchen like two kids from the candy store.
Grayson is now washing his plate and glass up. He was done with the meal, I took a seat on the counter as Erica walks to living room to make the appointment.
"Hey Grayson, we will be going out later today maybe,so I want you to get the car ready " I tell him .
"Okay ma'am" he responds curtly and I noticed something was off with him.
I didn't want to pry so I let it go. I need to focus on myself and my baby now.
"He'll be able to see you at 3 noon. We need to get ready" Erica says from behind me and then goes back ,I need to get ready.
I finished my meal and then went to the room to change.
.
"Thank you for having me on a short notice Dr. Salzar"I say as I lay down on the bed.
"It is nothing Miss Jones,I am always at your service. Now lay down and raise you shirt up a little" he says and I do so. Well,Erica did it for me,she wanted to be there through everything.
"No need to be scared but it is going to be cold when I rub this gel on your abdomen "he warned before applying the gel.
He then places a machine on my abdomen and started moving it in circles.
He was so concentrated at the beginning but relaxes seconds later.
"Congratulations Miss Jones,you are indeed pregnant. There is the little jelly bean. It looks like you are now three weeks pregnant"he says pointing to a small thing on the screen.
"My baby,my little angel"I cry tears of joy.
Erica was also sniffing beside me, wiping my tears away.
.
"I'll schedule your first ultrasound with an OBGYN. Please make sure to take all your vitamins and other prescription. Your journey might not be easy but with the proper care, you'll have a safe delivery" he says before writing down some notes for me.
"Thank you once again Dr.Salzar,I'm so grateful" I tell him.
"Congratulations once again. Have a safe journey"he replies back and I smile.
I let out a sigh of contentment as I rub my stomach tenderly.
"I love you already baby. I'm going to protect you at all cost. I'll give you the world" I whisper to myself.
"Already a spoiled brat"Erica groans and burst into laughter.
I love that girl. But I'll never tell her that
Two and half months laterThey say every first trimester of pregnancy is the worse and they weren't lying. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and my bump is already starting to show.Things have not been easy at all,from morning sickness to staying awake all night. I'm so greatful for him being around all through it.He has been amazing ever since he found out I was pregnant. I remember that night like it was yesterday. I remember how he cried like a baby.Flash backErica has finished wrapping the gift box I bought from the mall.After seeing the doctor,Erica and I went to the mall and bought those onesie's that has those 'Hi Daddy ' inscription on it.I placed it in the box,along side my pregnancy test and blood test from the hospital.Today,Flynn arrived early from work,well I asked him to.I was pacing back and forth in my room when he arrived. I was nervous as hell. "Hey,good evening" he says kissing my cheek. He went and placed his brief case on the night and started losing his tie."G
I am pacing back and forth in the leaving room angrily."Calm down Anne,you are stressing and you know that is not good for the baby. Think of him or her" Erica reasons."How can I be calm after seeing that headline. He is cheating on me with another woman and you tell me to calm down. I'm pregnant with his child for crying out loud"I exclaim"Like you said you are pregnant. You suffered for this baby,do not let anyone take it away from you. Calm down, beside we don't know if this is true or not. This is the internet for pete's sake anyone can write lies for more views " Erica exclaim before leading me to sit down."He better have a good explanation for this"I say still angry."Just relax, okay and think of the baby. Now come and sit and watch a movie,I made Oreo cheesecake cake with strawberry smoothie, your favorite "Erica says wiggling her eyebrows"You just know how to bribe me"I groan and then pout.She arranges the pillow on the couch for me and I sat down .
I feel a tap on my shoulder and someone softly whispering my name.I groan but still didn't open my eyes hoping the person will eventually go away but no.The taping still continued and I had no choice but to open my eyes.When I did open my eyes, Erica's face came to view,she was holding a sweeping broom and dust collector.I sat up slowly because my side hurt ,"Did you sleep here the entire night" she asks concerned,I only nod my head and let out a sigh."Can you please bring me some water" I asked softly and she nods politely.Some few seconds later,she came back with the water and gave it to me. She turned around to leave but I stopped her."Eri, wait! Look I'm sorry for yelling at you and blaming you for my marital problems. I took the wrong approach and I am sorry. Please forgive me" I pleadShe was quiet for a while,I think contemplating on the answer she'll give me."Please. Forgive me. You are like my sister and sisters forgive each other " I pursued her"Okay fine. But onl
"What!" Erica and I say in unison."Yeah,that was the same reaction I got a year ago. She has been battling with Leukemia for a while. She was on chemo for a while until we run low on money and she had to get off. That is why the day of the interview,I pleaded for the job. She had to get on chemo before the surgery. She was doing well until she relapsed yesterday. We actually just got home from the hospital just an hour ago,"he says."Oh Grayson,why didn't say anything from the beginning,I could have helped you. I am responsible for you " I tell him." You have done so much for me,with my children's scholarship and my pay,I didn't want to be a burden on you" he explains"You are not a burden, what is the use of the money if I don't help others with it. I am going to call my doctor,he will recommend us to the best oncologist in the state " I tell him."Oh please I don't want to be a bother" he protests"I'm calling him and you can't stop me" I tell him."When she puts her mind to some
I feel something covering me up,the thing feels warm and cozy. I slowly opened my eyes to see I'm not in my house,I was about to panic when realization struck me,I'm in Grayson's home.I didn't realize I fell asleep,the Chinese must have hit a nerve.I slowly opened my eyes to see Grayson smiling at me."Hey" I whisper"Hey" he whispers back,and we stared at each, lost in our grazes.He then clears his throat and balanced the tray on the night stand. That is when I realized I was on a bed."What says the time?" I asked because I wasn't wearing my watch anymore."It is almost midnight. You fell asleep on the couch and I thought it might be uncomfortable for you giving your situation. I also brought some chocolate cake and milk " he says and I looked at him confused."Erica" we both say in unison and chuckle."She called saying the kids will be staying the night,so I should let you sleep and she'll bring you a change over tomorrow morning" he explains and I nod."Also your husband calle
I woke up alone on the bed and I smiled to myself,this is the best sleep I have had in my entire years of existence.I got out from the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen because I figured Grayson would be around.I was surprised to see Erica and girls already there, but there was an awkward tension in the room, especially since Annalise has been glaring at me ever since I entered the room.Erica served me the breakfast she brought from home,just the way I like it.I was in the middle of eating when my phone rang,I check the caller ID to see it was my lovely husband.I excused myself to answer the call."Oh thank God Jane. I thought something happened to you,you've not been picking up my calls and you weren't home or at your dad's place. Fuck! Where are you?"he rambles on and I sigh."You don't have to worry about me,I'm fine. I'll be home later today. I'm at Grayson's house" I tell him"What! Why the fuck would you be at our chauffeur's home!"he yells through the phone."Don't f
Grayson's P.O.VMy wife and I are anxiously sitting in the doctor's office waiting for her MRI scan report. Anxiety is taking the best of me."Hey my love ,calm down,everything will be fine okay" she smiles. This is part of the many reasons why I love her. She is always positive in tense situations.The door opens and Dr. Banks walks in before I could say anything."Good morning Mr.&Mrs Dolan " she says as she takes her seat Infront of us."Good morning doctor. Thank you for having us " my wife says softly"No problem. Okay I have your MRI results and to be honest I don't know what to say"she sighsMy heart races faster than usual,my anxiety is at a next level."What.. what.."I stutter,I am visibly shaking."Calm down Mr. Dolan,her case isn't the end. There are still other options" she explains further"Doctor, what is wrong with me"Bryanna asks softly but I know she is just as anxious as I am."I'm going to be honest and straight forward. Your Leukemia is rare, acute leukemia, even a
Grayson is taking Bryanna to the hospital today,I gave him the week off,so he can spend more time with her.I am dropping the Kids off at my parents house. After several consideration, Grayson accepted to let Anna and Piper stay with my parents and they would visit during the weekends.I am also meeting Flynn after here,we are going to the hospital.Today is the day we finally know the gender of the baby.And no we wouldn't be doing any gender reveal. We felt it wasn't necessary, because no matter the gender we will him/her the same.I also have to go back to work 'Real Beauty' has been having alot of sales for the past weeks.Mira is almost in her 3rd trimester and she gets tired easily so I need to help her.I have alot of things to do today."Okay girls we are here"I tell them as I stopped Infront of the estate.I open the door for them and one of my dad's security personnels comes and takes their bag from the boot of my car.Annalise had her usual frown and Piper had this fascinat
