Nicole waited nervously for the doctor to call her in, she had come for the test anyway and had her blood taken for the test a while ago, she thought of the possible result, she hadn't taken the home test because she knew she couldn't bear the anxiety that comes with checking by herself and had decided to check at the hospital, after this, she was meeting with Grace who was in town for the holidays, she wanted to tell her all the happiness she has been experiencing since they last saw each other, of course, they talked on the phone but it would be better now when they meet, she wanted to know everything that has been going on with Grace, the times they spoke on the phone, Grace always has something to do so their calls didn't last as she would have wished it does, perfect time to catch up on lost time, they were meeting up at the house, Grace wanted to visit her studio."Mrs. Salvador?"A nurse called bringing her out of her thoughts."Yes, that's me,"She said getting up."The docto
Grace asked and Nicole tried to brighten her face up, she just didn’t want to bother her, but she couldn’t smile either."Nothing, I just,"She said after a long pause."That doesn't seem like nothing girl, now spill, a problem shared is a problem half solved."Grace urged her."Grace, I am pregnant, I did the test this morning, and it came out positive,"She revealed."Wow, congratulations, are you sure? Did you do it more than once?""I didn't do it myself, I went to a hospital,""Ohhh, that's so cool, does your hubby know already? He must be happy,""He doesn't yet, I plan on telling him when he comes back home,""Oh, I am sure he is going to be happy, do I get to be a godmother? Please say yes, please,""Of course, you are my only friend, who else will I have to do it?""Yes!!!,She said fist-pumping the air."Why don't you look happy about the news? You are pregnant for the man you love and who loves you just as much, you should be happy,""I am Grace, I am, just that I am scared
"What?"He asked shocked, of all the things he expected her to say, that hadn't come to mind."I said that I am pregnant,""Yeah, sorry, I heard you the first time, I am just in shock, how did you know? Have you done the test?"He asked, he didn’t even know if that was the right question to ask."Yes, and it's positive even did a scan to be sure and I am three weeks gone,"She revealed, she didn't seem happy about the news though, no she looked worried, was she worried that he might not like the news or was there something else."You don't seem excited about the news?"He asked, she looked at him and he saw that she was about to cry."Hey, baby, don't cry,""I don't want to I just can't help it, I am happy, of course, I am happy to be a mum but I was scared you might not be ready, we haven't even talked about a child yet so,"He cut her off with his lips on her, kissing away her worries, of course, he was happy about the news even though it came so suddenly, he wanted a family with he
"And you think, I, Caleb will betray you? Wow, just what do you think of me? What I didn't know you had an accident? How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? You were the one that told me from the onset that you don't like calls, causal calls unless it's business-related, I added you to a group where some of our close acquaintances are but you left saying you don't want crowd, if I don't invite you for a drink you never extend a hand, you talking about betraying as if I have ever done anything to be labeled that, I feel offended right now, you have been the one putting me at arm's length and I have been the one trying to make this friendship work because I really like you, I take all the shits you throw at me, should we talk about how your wife acted during your wedding? I felt humiliated, now I feel it's what you told her about me that made her behave the way she did, I am a great friend to have Rafael, and it your fault you lost me,"He said, Rafael let out a bored sigh, he
Nicole walked into her studio with the inspiration of making a painting of a woman with child that represents the joy of motherhood, she already have the idea of how it would turnout and she planned on making it a series, all the step to motherhood from month zero to nine or ten months, she already knew she was going to love it, she got to work immediately, first puting down her idea, then making the stretch for the first part of the series but first of all she drew a woman, just like the woman in her full months that she had met at the clinic the day before yesterday, she had gone for her first official doctor visit and had seen the pretty lady in her full terms, she had asked and the pretty woman had told her she was due within the week, she had been amazed, she made sure to go into details, when she was done with the drawing, she looked adorably at her work, took a break before starting to paint, it took her about four hours to complete the painting, it looked so good that she want
He greeted, kissing her on the forehead, she greeted him and collected the bag he held, she knew it was for her."Thanks for this,"She smiled when she saw her favorite chocolate brand and happily collected it from him, she never told him she liked it but he had somehow picked it out, he was super observant and that was so cool."What happened? You are sulking?"She asked when she took a good look at his expression, he didn't seem happy, like something happened that he didn't like, maybe a deal didn't go the way he wanted."Yeah, don't mind me, someone was just being a prick and that ruined my mood, and to crown it all my assistant thinks he right and I am wrong,""Wanna, take a shower eat and tell me what happened? I will listen and tell you the truth if you are at fault or if the person is,"She suggested and he nodded in agreement, she collected his bag from him and he went to take a shower, she sat with him as he ate, and when he was done they went to seat at the balcony in their
"Wow, a honeymoon? We have been married for months. Why now?"Nicole asked in a suspicious tone, she wasn't buying this, he was tricking her like he did when he wanted her to go for a business trip with him a week ago."Yes, baby, not a trick this time, we are going to Bora Bora, it's a honeymoon location, no work, just the two of us, oh I mean the three of us, what do you say?""Sounds tempting, how many days?""Ten days, we will leave by Thursday and return next week Sunday,""I might wanna do it but first you have to apologize to your friend, if not even though it is tempting I am not going, you can't cut off people you are close with, everyone has trust issues but there should be a limit,""Fine, I will,"He reluctantly agreed, she waited for him to call his friend, who to her surprise picked up which further confirmed her judgment that Rafael must have mistaken the guy for what he is not."Loudspeaker,"She instructed and he did just that."Hi, Caleb, this is Rafael’s wife, how a
"A ten hours flight, how am I going to survive it?"Nicole asked dramatically as they rode to the airport two days later, her husband shook his head and looked away, he must be tired of her nagging, she had been doing nonstop."Wow, now I am talking to myself, so much for true love,"She let out when he didn’t respond to her, he rolled his eyes."Baby, you have been saying the same thing nonstop and I have told you will be fine,"He responded."Yes, but I want to talk and you want to be quiet,"She argued, her hormones were acting out and it was disturbing, she had become more talkative and was constantly looking for and starting conversations over the last two days, she had called Grace three times just because she needed someone to talk to and also she wakes her husband up just to talk to him about nothing in particular, the poor man couldn’t even say no."Who said I want to be quiet? You can talk to me all you want my love,"He said pulling her closer to him, she felt safe and rea
