My CEO 398

398 OMG Is This Really Real? (Winona)

I'm waiting for Klara to arrive at the cottage after Lisa has gone to shower and sleep at the estate. Despite me going through the relaxation techniques and even with the positive DNA results, I'm on the edge of a precipice.

Once again, my life has gone over a point of no return. It's unbelievable that I'm pregnant. This had changed everything I thought my life now was.

Even with these tests telling me I am pregnant. I can't get my head around things. I can't find a way to quiet my mind, and I know I must. It's vital. But all the calm in the world still doesn't guarantee the baby will survive. That part may always be out of my hands. Wanting inner calm for the baby's sake just makes me stress more that I can't find inner calm. All the other things surrounding this pregnancy haven't helped. But at least I can take hall pass week and who I had sex with out of contention..

Yes, I will tell Jayden one day. But I can certainly pick my battles now and that is a great relief. But pushing past this into a calm zone is not something I think I can do right now. I really want to.

It's like I'm stressing over having nothing to stress about. Which is stupid because I have plenty to stress about. Trying to control the uncontrollable for one thing.

Logically, I know if I lose our baby, it's not my fault. This is nature, and it wasn't meant to be. But knowing this impossible thing has happened, it's also impossible not to look forward to a time when I have this baby in my arms.

But having that expectation of getting a healthy baby is the worst thing I can do. And, at the same time, I can't just go thinking that there is no hope at all.
