Avery’s pov
My breath catches in my throat, my eyes widening. My hand instinctively move to my belly and I pressed softly, my heart racing and the beeping of the machine went wild.
“Baby?” I whispered my voice barely audible as I stared at Melissa in disbelief.
Her irritation soften, and she nod, swallowing tightly. “Yeah, the doctors ran some tests while you were out. Apparently all that vomiting was actually morning sickness,” she shook her head. “I told you, Avery.”
My heart pounded in my chest. That would be impossible. I know Xade and I had sex, but it hadn’t been a month yet and it would be too early to tell.
Yet, there was a possibility that I could be seeing as I remembered that I forgot to take that plan B pill he gave to me that day after I gave him my innocence.
Still, test results shouldn’t show yet. It was impossible.
“I need to talk to Xade,” I whispered, looking back at her. “I need to see him now Melissa.”
Her brows pinched and a frown mares her face. “You still worry about him? You’re pregnant Avery. As in, you carry a human baby inside your womb. Your college years, and single life is over! And you’re worried about a guy you just met!”
Just met…just met.
My eyes widen while the blood drains from my face as the realization hits me like a stone to the head. Melissa doesn’t remember Xade too. If she had, she’d not think we had just met.
Come to think about it, everyone thought Xade was the new hot guy on the campus…everyone forgot him.
Which tells me something, something I couldn’t figure out on my own and happened. There must be an explanation for this. And only Xade would know.
“He’s not just a guy I met Melissa,” I whispered, flicking my thumb over my belly. If I had his baby in my belly, my heart grows by the thought of carrying Xade’s baby.
I knew I was still in college and still fighting for my future career, yet, the thought of holding a mini Xade in my womb made me feel more alive than I felt for weeks now.
“He’s,” I looked down at my stomach.
In just a few minutes my emotions had gone from shock to happiness. I just learned about the baby and I have already fallen in love. Not even certain that if there was really a baby or not. I have already fallen in love with him or her.
“I need to see him,” I shifted again, this time finding some strength to sit up and throw my feet over the edge of the bed. Melissa takes a step back.
“What are you doing!” She hissed.
“Going to see him,” I said bluntly and and pulled the IV off my arm. She gasped, staring at me in horror.
“You’re not supposed to do that Avery!” She screeched, coming forward to stop me but I push her away, glaring.
“I’m going to him,” I hissed. ” I don’t care what I am supposed to do or not. You or the doctors aren’t going to stop me from going to him now.”
Her eyes filled with frustrated tears. “You can barely walk! They haven’t given you the all clear yet! Avery-
“He’s the baby’s father Melissa!” I snapped. “If I am truly pregnant, he should have been the first to know! I need to see him.”
Melissa’s eyes widen, her face turning the shade of a ghost. “Impossible.” She whispered in disbelief. “You two just met. You can’t get pregnant in that short of a time Avery.”
I plant my feet on the floor and stand, wobbling a bit but manage to keep from falling. “You won’t understand Melissa,” my brows pinch. And I too didn’t understand, which is why I needed to see Xade as soon as possible.
I needed answers only he could give.
Melissa brows furrowed even more. “I’m so confused,” she admitted. “Have you two fucked a couple months ago before he came to this college or something….”
I bit my lower lip, realizing that I didn’t know how to explain this to her. “I can’t explain things right now Melissa,” I admitted, looking around the room for my clothes since I can’t go out in the ugly hospital gown.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“You say you’re pregnant for a guy you just met Avery,” she said in disbelief. “Unless you two boned a good couple weeks ago I’d understand, but you acted like he had been a stranger not too long ago. Something isn’t adding up.”
I winced and spotted my clothes on the chair beside the bed. I grabbed them while replying to Melissa. “Like I said, I can’t explain things right now. Not when I myself don’t know the truth. But I can’t stay here and talk Mel, I need to see Xade.”
She grab my arm, stopping me from going to the bathroom to change. “Wait. Even if he’s the dad, he can still wait. You are still weak and-
The door opens again, and Melissa stops talking when a doctor who seem to be in his early fifties and a woman nurse walks in. The doctor’s head is down, writing something on his clipboard while the younger nurse is a few paces behind him.
When he lifts his head, his eyes fall on me, my hand and the clothes. “You’re not supposed to be out of bed yet miss.”
I cringed. I would have rather if he had not seen me in the midst of escaping this place. “Uh, I feel way better and think I’m in the all clear to head on home-
“You can’t leave yet, not until I do another checkup.” He pointed out, and I froze. “Especially when your test res came back so confusing.”
My breath hitched and my heart dropped in the pit of my stomach. “What do you mean?” I whispered, reaching out to steady myself as my knees grow weak. Melissa helps me sit back down on the bed.
“We need to run more tests to understand what’s happening but,” he started, giving a glance back at the nurse behind him. “Your results came back unusual. Something we have never seen before. You can’t leave until we figure out why you have animal DNA in your blood work.”
