"Now your hand is free but remember not to lift anything too heavy,"The doctor advised."Okay, but can I carry my wife?"He asked, pointing at her, she gave him a dirty look as the doctor laughed."No, you can't, at least not for now,""Too bad, but I can wait,"He answered, the doctor smiled, she was super friendly, they had a few more discussions, she gave him his last dose of prescriptions and they left the hospital, the driver who had brought them must have left for while thinking they might take long in the hospital because when they got to the entrance of the hospital they didn't find him, Rafael looked angry and she hoped he won't fire the driver, he must have had a reason for leaving, he called his number and the man apologized saying he was on his way back."Why the fuck would you leave without informing me?"He yelled when the man arrived."Rafael , please don't, he must have a reason, no need to yell,"Nicole scolded, he turned his anger at her, she expected him to yell a
"Rafael?"She called when he didn't respond to her question after over three minutes."Oh, sorry, sure, you can ask me anything, I will tell you,""Are you sure?""Of course, hit me,""I just want to know more about you and maybe if you don't mind telling me about your family, if you don't want to you don't have to say anything, I will understand,"She said in a soft voice."Crazy woman, of course, I want to share with you, but bear in mind that my story, or rather my family's story isn't a pleasant one,"He said, she already guessed that it won't be a pleasant one seeing that he didn't like talking about it with people, no one knew his family, nothing about then was written online just that he grew up in foster homes in his early teens but the years before that were nowhere to be seen."My story, well, let's just say, my dad a rich, yes my dad was rich, he met my mom who was from an average family and they got off immediately, according to my dad, it was love at first sight for him,
"Yes, right now, I already called your dad that we are coming over,"Rafael revealed that was shocking to know because she didn't even know Rafael was in contact with her parents."I didn't know you talk with my dad, how come I don't know?""Your dad is cool and he gave me good advice when we met,""Yeah, he is even though it took a while for me to realize that,"She replied."So? Can we go see them?""Sure, let's go,"She agreed, fastening her seatbelt, this was the first time she would meet her parents as Nicole with Rafael, she wanted it to be smooth and pleasurable, she already knew they were okay with them being together, so long as they are happy together which they were, they drove to her parent's house, her mom and dad were both home and welcomed them warmly, she still wasn't so used to her parents being nice to her but it was gradually becoming a part of her."Thank you so much for having us, sir and ma, and for giving me the chance to be with your daughter,"Rafael said poli
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
