Chapter 37 Blood Test
At the Shelton residence, Cathy was in her husband’s arms. She was grinning from ear to ear. Her husband was whispering sweet nothing in her ears. She was thanking Mr Martins in her heart for giving her husband vacation leave. She felt loved and appreciated.
She looked at her husband lovingly and said, “Hubby, you make me happy. I love you very much.” Edwin looked at his wife with tenderness and replied, “I love you more, my beautiful wife. I thank the Lord for opening my eyes before it was too late.”
Cathy smiled sweetly at him and said, “Baby, I think Mia is pregnant. I decided to take her to the hospital for a check-up. I will tell her that I have missed my periods. I don’t want to raise her hopes up if I am wrong.” Her husband nodded his head and said, “I hope she is pregnant too, my love. Do you want to have another baby?”
Cathy nodded her head and replied, “I want to have a son to accompany us when we are old.” Edwin laughed out loud and said, “Do you think his wife will allow him to do that? I would rather have Lily’s husband married into our family.” Cathy giggled and replied, “I will personally choose my daughter-in-law. She will take care of us.”
She looked at her watch, it was 9 am. She smiled sweetly at her husband and said, “Hubby, don’t you want to wash my back?” Edwin smiled mischievously and he quickly got out of bed. He took his wife in his arms and walked to the bathroom. While his wife was undressing herself, he filled the bathtub with hot water.
Edwin washed his wife’s back and said smiling mischievously, “Honey, why don’t we make our son right now?” Cathy’s ears turned red, and she nodded her head. Two hours later, they walked out of the bathroom. Edwin was carrying his wife in his arms.
They dressed up and they went to the dining room to eat. The helper quickly prepared breakfast for them. Cathy thanked her and asked, “Where is Mia?” The helper told her that Mia was in her bedroom sleeping. Then Cathy excused herself and went to Mia’s bedroom and knocked on the door.
Mia opened the door smiling and said, “I have been so tired lately I can’t keep my eyes open. I don’t know if I am going to have the flu.” Cathy smiled and replied, “Wash your face and brush your teeth and come with me to have breakfast.” Mia shook her head and said, “I don’t have an appetite. I want to go back to sleep.”
Cathy looked at her and said, “Love, please accompany me to see the Gynecologist. There is something I don’t understand in my body.” Mia’s eyes dimmed and asked, “Are you pregnant again?” Cathy saw pain in her friend’s eyes and replied, “I don’t know yet. I am starving, let’s go.”
Mia asked her to give her five minutes, and then she walked to the bathroom to wash her face and to brush her teeth. Then they headed to the dining room. She greeted Edwin with a smile and started eating. She took a few bites and stopped eating. She excused herself and went to her bedroom. She took a quick shower, and then she changed into jeans and a shirt.
Edwin and his wife were waiting for her in the living room. When Edwin saw Mia, he looked at his wife with gentleness and asked, “My wife, don’t you want me to accompany you to the hospital?” Cathy shook her head and replied, “Don’t worry my love; it’s just a check-up.” She kissed him then she took Mia’s hand and walked to the driveway.
Mia’s bodyguard smiled and opened the door for them. Mia told her that they were going to the hospital. On their way, Mia called her Gynecologist, Dr Tim Allen, to make an appointment. He told her that he had an opening at 1 pm. Mia thanked her doctor and hung up.
Half an hour later, they went to the waiting room. Dr Allen’s secretary called Mia and told her that it was her turn. Mia and Cathy went together. Mia smiled at her doctor and said, “Good day Dr Allen, I am accompanying my friend to see you.” Cathy smiled and replied, “Good day Dr Allen, I missed my periods. Please check for me if I am not pregnant.” Dr Allen smiled and said, “Let me conduct a blood test for you and later we will have an ultrasound.”
Cathy looked at her friend and said, “Mia, I am scared of blood. Why don’t you do a blood test with me?” Mia giggled and asked, “How did you become a nurse if you are scared of blood? I will do a blood test with you, my friend.” Then Dr Allen conducted a blood test for both of them. Cathy indicated that they would wait for the results. Dr Allen told them that the results would be out after two hours.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
They thanked Dr Allen and went to the café to buy a cup of coffee. After two hours, they went back to Dr Allen’s waiting room. His secretary told them that Dr Allen was ready to see them. He smiled at them and said, “Mrs Parker, the results show that you are not pregnant. Have you been stressed lately?” Cathy told Dr Allen that she has been stressed a lot lately.
Then he looked at Mia and said, “Young lady, I have great news for you. You are two months pregnant.” Mia was so shocked her mind became blank. Cathy hugged so tight with tears in her eyes and said, “Congratulations my dearest.” Mia subconsciously touched her stomach and asked, “Are you sure, Dr Allen?”
Dr Allen told her that he was 100% sure that she was pregnant. He smiled broadly and asked, “Do you want us to perform an ultrasound?” Tears of joy streamed down her face, and she shook her head. She wanted to see the baby with her husband. She wiped her tears and replied, “I will ask my husband to come to the hospital first.”
