Chapter 8

• ****1 month later****
• "Audrey...hurry up you are gonna be late for work" Skyler screamed from the parlour,heading to my room but on getting there she stopped as her eyes scanned around the room before it finally landed on my curled up figure that was covered with a blanket. Damn this fucking morning sickness.
• "Don't tell me the fever isn't gone yet? She asked,coming close to my bed. She sat down beside me.
• I nodded in return,unable to reply her. I feel so weak to reply. It feels like the sickness just keeps getting worse every single day for the past few weeks. At first i thought it was hay fever but is not cause I've had drugs but there's still no sign of recovery.
• "Aud....i think you need to go see a doctor. This sickness has been hanging around for a while now. You really need to"
• "I know but i just hate hospitals. That place is full of sh*t,the stupid smell of drugs just keeps making me want to puke anytime i visit that place. I'll be fine Sky,just don't worry" I replied her. I just don't wanna visit that stupid place. I hate hospitals.
• "Are you been serious here? Audrey for God's sake this is what you've been saying for the past 1 month yet you keep staying here with no hopes of recovering from whatever sickness this is" She flared up. I raised up my hand,indicating she should lower her voice. "Alright Sky I'll visit the hospital okay. Tho i don't know why am even sick in the first place. I never fall sick,is usually rare and it doesn't even stay this long" I said the last part more to myself than her. But it is the truth,am not the sick kind of person so what exactly is making me sick.
• "Audrey when last did you see your period?" She asked me. I raised my head to look at her.
• What does she mean by that? But wait a minute,i saw my period on.......oh my God! It can't be right? I can't be pre...gnaant!! God i can't be.
• I stared at Skyler with wide eyes,she stared back at me. "I think that was two m..onths ago" I stuttered,finding it hard to believe i might be pregnant. How is this even possible?
• She stood up immediately "So then we have an answer to the reason you've been sick for 1 month now. About the same time you last saw your P"
• I didn't know what i was feeling at the moment but i think curiosity took the better part of me. Yes i was curious to know if i was really pregnant and then why i would be pregnant in the first place. I know i use protection in every s*x i have so how come?
• "When last did you have Sex Aud? And with who?" She folded her hands staring me. I stood up too and started pacing around.
• "About a month ago" I replied her.
• "Then with who?" She asked me. I kept quiet for a while,trying to remember the last person i had sex with and then.......it hit me like a moving train.......Jared fucking Hudson. He was the last person i had sex with. No no i don't think this is possible. I might not even be pregnant right? I mean it could possibly be some stubborn fever that needs a medical attention but then,why could it be that I've not seen my period since the time i met Jared. Why did i fall sick a week after.
• So many questions kept bugging my mind but there is only one way to find out and that is by running a pregnancy test. Hopefully i will be tested negative,hopefully.
• "Sky i don't think it matters cause we ain't even sure yet. We are only assuming and you know how malaria makes people seem as if they are pregnant. Let's just visit the hospital then after that we'll know what next" I hope i sound convincing enough.
• "Okay...if you say so then you need to get dressed so we can start going. What do you think?" She asked looking at me. I sat down back trying to push away the thoughts that were clouding my senses. What if truly i am pregnant and Jared Hudson is the father of my unborn child? What if,oh my God! Am not even ready to be a mother. How can i even handle a baby when i could rarely put up with Danielle's incessant attitudes. I might just hurt the innocent child. Am so fucked up right now.
• "Okay? It came out as a question. God knows i feel so scared right now. I might even wee in my pants if time is not taken.
• "Look Audrey you need to calm down okay. I know you are scared but we ain't sure of what it is yet so you have to calm down. It might be something else who knows" She assured me and just like it worked. I felt relieved after hearing that. What was i even scared of in the first place,i can't be pregnant right? No i can't be. Is a slight sickness.
• To be continued.......
