HIS LUNA

CHAPTER4

TITLE: LITTLE MISS PREGGY

“I hope I didn't hear wrongly,did I just hear David Powell?” I asked with my eyes , I sighed, looking at myself in the mirror. I looked at the washing hand basin and shook my head. Washing my face isn't an option right now.

“Are you okay?” I heard the familiar voice of Lina ask as she walked into the restroom. She still has the files in her hands and it piqued my interest.

“What's the case about? I mean the__”

“The what?” She asked,her hands akimbo and her eyes questioning me. “Oh, it's just that the hall was really occupied and it's usually not like that, plus I heard something about David Powell,is he in the building?” I asked and she looked at me skeptically before shaking her head and sighing.

“What's your business with Mr Powell? You need to stop daydreaming. He cannot be into a lady like you and I really hope it sinks in well.” With that,she picked the file and dashed out of the restroom while I scoffed.

“I'm still gonna be involved in that case,so much for having the secretary as my friend.” I whispered and walked out of the restroom.

**********

“Sorry I'm late.” I said, running into the sixth meeting concerning the dead child. I wasn't involved in the first five meetings because Beatrice had not been able to speak with Mr Arnold but now? I confidently walked in.

Lina’s face held shock and anger. I'm sure she wanted to be the only one to go over the case but too bad I'm also interested in this case.

“It's fine,Mr Arnold asked me to anchor the meeting so tell me what you've got,new strategies to bring out positive results,how do you plan on doing it?” Beatrice asked as Lina bowed her head.

“I think Lina should go first because she's the rightful owner of this case. Then I can add whatever I feel like adding,in the end I'm just assisting.” I replied.

Lina stood on her feet and walked to the front of the boardroom,a small smile playing on her lips. “Well I have everything here,” she said, displaying her write up on the big screen for everyone to see. They all clapped,I joined too but I started feeling my eyes trying to close down on their own accord.

I shook my head, refusing to let dizziness get the best of me. I tried to recall if I'd gone to bed late but I remember going to bed early with the excuse of having a big day today.

“Daniella,it's time for you to give your two cents about the situation and what you have in mind,the police are doing their best and everything is gonna work out just fine.” I got to my feet, my eyes taking in the faces of everyone present.

As I moved my legs forward, the earth came crumbling down on me and I felt myself floating and finding a landing spot on the floor as I blacked out.

“So doc, how's she? What's wrong with her?” I heard the familiar voice of Beatrice but my eyes were still shut,I flickered my eyes before throwing them open slowly.

The place was a little blurry and only the occasional sound of the wind and AC greeted me. The door opened and Emily rushed in. She had a look of worry on her face.

“How are you feeling?” She asked as I looked at her skeptically. How did she figure out I was here and how did she arrive so quickly.

“I'm a little bit shaken, how did you know I was here and how did you arrive so fast?” I asked, looking skeptically at her as she sighed.

“I had called your phone a couple of times but you weren't answering,I tried it again and this time a strange voice responded so I asked what was happening and boom she said you fainted in a meeting, girl are you taking good care of yourself?” she asked as I shrugged.

“I feel I'm a little bit stressed but I feel fine,I really don't know why I fainted.” The door opened and the doctor walked in with Beatrice.

“Hi, doc.” Emily said,a small smile playing on her lips.

“Hi, I'm with your test results,here you go.” He said, passing it to me but Emily was quick to collect it. The doctor gave her a skeptical look, like, ‘hey that's confidential’ but I smiled at him and nodded, letting him know everything was alright.

“So,I can see something about your health being good,and__” she stopped talking, as a smile quickly radiated her face. “You need to see this, yourself.” She said, passing the test results to me as I quickly scanned through it.

I froze as my eyes connected with the pregnancy test underneath. I swallowed hard, suddenly the room became hot, sweat poured down my face as I looked at the doctor.

“I'm,I'm pregnant?” I asked and he smiled. “Yeah, congratulations you're four weeks gone.” My eyes widened but the smile on Emily's face didn't falter.

“Are you being serious right now? You have the guts to smile? In this situation? That's terrible!” I screamed at her.

“When am I going to be discharged? I feel really fine and can go home now but your rules comes first.” He looked at me,then at the report in his hands before smiling.

“You can leave now, you're perfectly okay so you can leave with your friends.” He walked out and Beatrice walked up to me, pulling me in for a tight hug as I forced the smile out.

“Congratulations,I can't wait to carry a mini you.” She kissed my cheeks. “I'm really sorry but I have to go now, we'll see at the office tomorrow.”with that,she walked out of the room, leaving just Emily and I..

“I'm opting for an abortion,and I didn't bring it up for discussion,I'm getting the abortion done!”
