The Strong One

Episode 8

I am now 2 months pregnant and to say I’m exhausted doesn’t make up for it, morning sickness every morning and most of my favourite foods make me nauseous.

I was worried about bringing the cried up without anyone noticing, it was actually pretty easy, easier than making excuses to not train with my mum.

I ended up putting all my clothes into boxes and making my walk in closet a nursery, i built everything myself which I learned to do from my grandpa, the walk in closet was perfect as it’s a very big size for the massive crib and not only the walk in closet has a lock on it so no one can just open the door and go in.

I have appointments booked for every too weeks with my doctor and she has been a fantastic help.

I haven’t answered any of Diego’s texts or calls.

I’m actually showing a lot more than I thought I would be showing, I actually can only wear hoodies now and none of my jeans, tang tops or even my dresses fit me anymore, it will be ok because in a few days my maternity clothes arrive.

Sofia’s POV (Alex’s mum)

I was shocked when Alex showed no to little emotion when Diego left, it was nothing like anyone expected, as time went on she went from queen of ice to miss rainbow which confused everyone in the house, however what worried us more is that she completely gave up on the physical part of her training, she did not want to go away for training and not only that but her style changed completely, Alex never dressed slutty as she wouldn’t be allowed of the house if it was, but she was stylish, always dressed up, and now she will throw on leggings and a hoodie and that was it. I’m extremely worried about my daughter but I can’t do anything until she tells me but don’t think I haven’t tried finding out because I have but all his leads take me nowhere, we taught her well I can say that at least.

Alex’s POV

I went to the doctors for another check up and the doctor found the size of my bump strange which made me panic and be scared for my wee ones life and if it was ok.

“I have found out why you are so big.” He doctor said looking at the screen intensely while keeping the ultrasound thing on my belly, moving it around.

“What’s wrong? Is my baby ok?” I asked freaking out.

“The babies are fine.” She said making me take a deep breath but that breath got stuck in my throat when I fully took in she said babies.

“Huh.” I asked unsurely.

“Twins.” The doctor said.

“Twins.” I repeated in shock.

“See look there’s one, there’s the second one.” She said point to the monitor.

“Oh my god.” I said feeling slightly light headed.

The doctor passed me a cup of water as soon as she realised I was near fainting.

“Take deep breaths.” She said to me.

As I took deep breaths she told me how everything would be ok and that the twins are healthy and not only that but I would be a lot bigger than a one baby pregnancy obviously but she also said I would probably go into labor earlier as most woman do when pregnant with more than one baby.

When I got home I made my way into the kitchen, as soon as I got inside I realised that my parents and grandparents where all there talking and eating.

Once the smell of the food hit be I felt sick and I didn’t even have time to get somewhere to puke and ended up throwing up my guts out on the spot making my family rush to my side with worry planted on their faces.

I was about to stand up straight when I felt dizzy and nearly fell to the ground only to be held up by my father.

“Someone call the faith (family doctor) to come over now.” My mum said kneeling down next to me and my dad kissing my forehead.

After thinking about it over and over I decide to say,

“No don’t, there’s no need.”

“Are you crazy you nearly fainted and threw up out of nowhere.” My said near screaming.

“I’m not sick.” I said simply closing my eyes and thinking how I’m going to break it to them.

“Alex what are you on about.” Dad said confused.

I held my mums hand and slowly brought it closer to my tummy, as soon as she felt the bump her eyes widened with shock.

“Alex how.” Mum said in loss for words.

She then started crying, confusing the rest of the family further more.

“Let’s all sit up and talk about this.” Nan said helping me up and holding me all the way to the sofa in the living room.

“Okay explain.” Dad said.

“I found out weeks ago that I-I’m pregnant.” I said out loud looking away from my dads face as I couldn’t bare to see disappointment in his eyes.

Instead of screaming telling me how irresponsible i am mum, dad, Nan and grandpa all came closer and hugged me, leaving me shocked as that’s not what I expected.
