Claiming her babies

FIONA POV

I lied on my bed as I looked at the ceiling. Thinking back to how my life has been so far, I would say I regret doing a lot of things.

I regret breaking up with Anthony and getting married to Greg. My marriage with Greg wasn’t what I wanted in a marriage. My marriage with him has been more of a cage than an happy marriage.

The only source of happiness I had right now was Anthony but I couldn’t even be with him because I’m with someone else.

I could still remember his voice in my head, telling me to marry him but painfully, I can’t marry him.

I was already married and leaving this marriage now would take a lot from me emotionally and physically.

I sighed as I struggled to get off my bed and continue my life as the locked up wife that I am. I took my bath, brushed my teeth and went downstairs for breakfast.

Arriving at the living room, I was stunned to see a figure walking through the door with her babies “Monica?” I asked in surprise.

Getting closer to her, I realized it was her and every emotion of regret, pain and loneliness I felt before flew out the window. I was glad to see her.

“Hey, I just came to say hi. Ive been at home all these while and that house is become boring by the day so I decided to come visit you”

I jumped up in excitement as I hugged her lightly trying not to wake Macy who she held in her hands.

“I’m happy to see you. Come take a seat” I said, holding her hand as I lead her inside the house and gently gestures her to sit.

“Help me take Mason” she said and I took Mason who was wife awake and giggled as he saw me, stretching his hands towards me.

Mason giggled even more and I couldn’t help but fall helplessly in love with him. Very active and playful.

He played with my hair and held it tightly while dragging it but even if I felt pain in my scalp, I just smiled at the adorable little boy I held in my hand

“So how have you been?”

“I’m fine” I replied “though the house is boring and I’m not allowed to go out but I’m okay” I added.

“Has he tried to hurt you since that day?” Monica asked, her eyes staring deep at me.

“No he hasn’t” I said. Greg has been well behaved since he knew that Anthony had a video of him in his phone. He hasn’t laid a finger on me since the day he saw me at Monica’s house.

The highest he has done was seizing my car, my money and yelling at me.

Monica looked at me as ber eyes scanned my body “is everything okay?” I asked in curiousity.

“Yes every this fine. It’s just you seem to have added a lot of weight” she said, her eyes still roaming my body.

“Yes I noticed that too. There’s nothing there. It’s just that I’ve been sleeping and eating a lot these days and I’m prone to add weight by doing that” I replied.

“Okay if you say so” she said then she leaned closer to me “what about Anthony?” She whispered in my ears and my eyes widenened as I quickly looked around checking if anyone was around and I sighed in relief when I saw the living room was clear.

“Let’s talk about this in my room” I said as I rose to my feet and we both took the stairs to my room. “Anthony asked me to marry him” Monica eyes slowly widenened as she stared in shock.

“Are you joking?” She asked instantly

“No I’m not. He asked me to marry him. He said that he loved me”

“And what did you say?” Monica asked and the once happy smile I had dropped slowly as I remembered that day

“I said no” I responded, staring sadly at mason whose blue eyes shone brightly as he opened his mouth for me to see his one teeth that had managed to shoot out.

“What? Why would you do that?” Monica asked and I fell silent. “Do you love him?”

“Yes monica, I’ve always loved him but I don’t want him getting hurt or getting in trouble because of me.

Greg is a dangerous man and I don’t want him hurting Anthony. I can’t bare it if anything happens to Anthony”

“Then let’s get him arrested. Greg is a bad man and bad man shouldn’t be roaming around freely” Monica said.

“It’s not that easy Monica. Greg is a good man in the eyes of the public and no one would believe you if you say bad things about him. We will have to provide solid evidence and I don’t have any”

“So what are we going to do? Just fold our hands and watch him do more damage” Monica asked, staring at me in disbelief.

“Please let’s drop this and focus on other things. I don’t want Greg coming for anyone I love and not especially you. I’ve come to love you Monica and you’re the only friend I have so please let’s just let this go” I said and she stared at me in disbelief but just held me closely to herself and gave me a Comforting embrace.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Okay” she muttered. After Monica left, I ate breakfast and I’ve been vomiting since I ate breakfast. I’m starting to think maybe Greg might have instructed the maids to put something in my food.

I went straight to the hospital even if Greg had warned that I don’t leave the house but I had to. I did some test in their lab as soon as I arrived at the hospital. I needed to know what was going on with me.

Walking to the doctor’s office to wait for the outcome of the results, I couldn’t even walk straight because I kept staggering and I felt dizzy. It was as if the world was turning upside down.

“What’s happening?” I asked myself as I wasn’t feeling too well.

I opened the doctor’s office door hastily and crashed instantly on the available empty chair in the office.

I stayed on the chair for twenty minutes before the doctor stormed into the office with a paper in his hand.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting Mrs Greg and your test results are out” he Said as he stepped into the office and closed the door behind him.

“Okay doctor please what does it say. What is wrong with me? I don’t feel so good” I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.

” it’s nothing serious and I suggest you read it yourself ” the doctor said with a broad smile on his face and I stated at the paper in his hand

“please doctor I don’t think I have the strength to read right now. Just tell me what it says” I said, trying to keep my eyes opened.

“well Mrs Greg according to your result, you’re perfectly okay and what you seem to be experiencing are all signs of pregnancy”

“Sorry” my eyes instantly shot open as I looked at the doctor in disbelief

“Yes Mrs Greg, you’re four weeks pregnant” The doctor uttered with a smile on his face as he neatly folded the white paper “congratulations Mrs Greg” he said as he stretched out his hand for me for an handshake.
