“No!” I shouted. The only words that replayed in my head were abortion. I shook my head fiercely. I didn’t want to kill my baby. It was mine… And Ellis‘ love was growing in me.

Very well then, I will give you some medication suitable to drink during this period, and I advise you to

take it easy at work,” the doctor said with a slight smile, and relief filled me for some reason.

He gave me instructions and left. The door flew open, and David walked in, smiling softly at me. He had a tray of food in his hands.

“How do you feel,” he asked, putting the tray beside me.

“I don’t know,” I whispered. Seeing how close they were earlier, I’m sure he knew I was pregnant.

“It’s good news,” he was unsure whether to say that.

I ate my food before David drove me to my building. He insisted on walking me in, so I let him. I sat on the couch, and he wrapped a blanket around me. I smiled in gratitude.

He stayed with me until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I read the note on the side table.

< You were sleeping peacefully and didn’t want to wake you

I went downstairs and picked up my phone. I didn’t know who to call first. I wanted it to be Mom, but she insisted I return home. It couldn’t be any of my aunties because they would tell Mom and Dad.

I called Luis. He answered on the second ring.

Hi, Love,” he sounded somber, and I worried.

“Luis, is everything alright?” I asked.

“Yes, Toby came over with his new partner… You can imagine how that went,” he said. I felt hurt for my

friend.

I’m sorry, my friend. You’ll be alright,” I told him, and he sighed deeply. I could feel a deep sadness in him, and my heart broke.

He’s getting married.”

I stayed silent. What could I do or say to comfort him? I often saw him peeking at pictures of their friendship and being teary over his ex.

“Would you like to join me here?” I asked. He sighed again.

“I don’t know, Love, I’m not so good right now,” he informed me. I didn’t know how bad his heartbreak

was when he asked to come with me the first time, but now, I do. I wanted to help him. We can heal our hearts together. Luis told me he’d think it over. I held off telling him the news and decided to keep it to myself for now… Well, not really, because my therapist would hear about it on Saturday.

“How do you feel about the news?” my therapist, Dr. Banny, asked calmly, eyeing me.

“I don’t know, I’m not happy or sad,” I confessed.

“So, just the way you have been feeling these past two months,”

“Yes,”

My parents thought I was depressed, so they had me talk to a therapist. However, it didn’t feel like depression to me. The first month, I was so lost and distraught over what happened, but later, I felt empty and alone. I did my job diligently and ensured I didn’t slack, but the void deepened each day. It couldn’t be filled with work.

“Will you contact Ellis to tell him about the pregnancy?”

“I don’t know,” I shrugged. I zoned out when he started talking, and my mind was empty until Ellis‘ face flashed through my mind.

“What if I don’t forget him? What if I don’t fall for anyone else? Will I leave the rest of my life alone?”

Those are questions that I asked myself when I thought of him.

No, Love, you won’t be alone. You are with a child,” Doc Banny said. A small smile appeared on my lips,

Yes, my child.”
