364. Olivia - Fear I

*You are pregnant.*

My pulse roars in my ears.

*You are pregnant.*

My stomach turns to knots.

*You. Are. Pregnant.*

My head spins.

The doctor makes no sense. How can I be pregnant? "You have to be mistaken," I say when he doesn't answer my initial question.

I only came to the hospital because the guys forced me. I tried to explain that it's only a stupid cold and I'd stop coughing once I get better, but they refused to listen. Jasper even insisted I was having another case of pneumonia. When my chest started hurting, Jasper was even more convinced he was right.

When I mentioned to the doctor that not only my chest bothered me, but also my stomach, he decided to perform an ultrasound. It was then that I asked if my men could be present because if something was seriously wrong with me, I wanted them to be with me to support me.

My men stand close to the bed I'm on, looking just as confused as I am except Mose. He looks composed, with a subtle hint of happiness.

"Look at the monitor," the doctor says. "Judging from the size of the fetus, I would say you are about three months long."

I only do as he asks because I know it's impossible for me to have a baby. My gaze falls on the tiny shape on the monitor. There's no doubt that a new life is growing inside me. Tears prickle my eyes. How is this possible? What am I going to do when my body rejects the baby? When I hold his tiny body in my arms and watch him slowly die, I will die at the same time as him.
