The Alpha of my dreams

CHAPTER 2: THE FATHER OF MY BABY

Savannah's POV

I watched the middle aged lady in front of me like a hawk as she leafed through the reports in front of me. Suppressing a groan of exasperation, I waited for her verdict. What was taking her so long? Can't she just look at it and tell 'You are not pregnant, girl. Throw the stupid faulty tests and go away without wasting my time!'

Well, not exactly that, but something along the lines would be good. I had already bitten my lips raw while waiting for her to speak and if I waited longer, I would just draw blood from my lips.

After seeing that both the pregnancy tests showed positive, I was still adamant that it must be wrong. Because there was no chance in hell that I was pregnant. I mean how the hell can a woman become pregnant when she had never even had s*x? That was not rocket science right? And I know for a fact that unlike what Tia insisted,  what I had with my dream man was just that, dreams…

Still, seeing the pregnancy test results had peeved me so much that I booked an appointment with an obstetrician then and there and here I was, waiting for her to tell me that there was nothing to worry. That I was not pregnant and it was just a bug. Only then I could relax and laugh at my stupidity to worry about something that could never happen. And I had to shove the results to Tia's face. How could she put such an obnoxious idea in my head?!

Maybe I should sue the damn pregnancy test company, I mean companies  while I am at it. How could they manufacture faulty tests like that? It is fine with me because I don't want a kid and know that I am not pregnant. But what about people who are waiting for years for a kid? What if it shows positive to them and they start hoping about a sweet family only for all their dreams to shatter when they know that it was just a dream? 

I felt my eyes brimming with tears at the plight of the imaginary couple and shook my head. What was wrong with me? Why was I getting emotional for no reason whatsoever? Good thing that Tia was asked to wait outside. If she saw me like this, she would definitely start crowing about how I was pregnant and pregnancy hormones make women emotional, blah blah. Ugh!

I shook my head and looked at the doctor impatiently. How much time do you need to just read a result!

I cleared my throat to gain her attention and she looked up at me. I smiled at her sheepishly in response. 

"Well?" I asked.

Just tell me already, to go home and take rest until the bug goes away! Come to think of it, I didn't even feel sick anymore. That was strange!

"Congratulations, Ms. Michaels. You are pregnant!"

That was not so difficult, right? You could have said this ages ago. Wait what? Pregnant? Did she say pregnant?

"Pregnant?" I shrieked.

The doctor frowned at me.

"Yes, that's what I said."

I looked around the room trying to see where the hidden cameras were. Was Tia pranking me? Did she ask the doctor to act too? 

I turned to the doctor with a wild gaze when I didn't find anything.

"Alright. You got me, Dr. Evans. Please stop the prank."

"Prank? Are you alright Ms. Michaels? You are not looking so good. Maybe you should sit down…"

When did I stand up in the first place?

My legs gave out and I plopped down on the chair. My heart was beating furiously and there were black dots in front of my vision. Hmm… That looked so pretty. Maybe I could just sleep…

"Ms. Michaels!" I heard the worried shout of the doctor and snapped back to reality. 

"I am not pregnant. I am a virgin," I screamed hysterically.

She looked at me worriedly.

"You are definitely not a virgin and you are indeed pregnant. If you want to, I would show you the baby."

I wanted to deny outright but then I paused. Well, let her show me the proof. Ha, what proof! Now you are going to be busted!

I laid on the bed, and my thoughts flashed to my dream man while she started setting up the scan. For a moment I wondered how it would be like to be really pregnant with his kid. Maybe I would have a green eyed dark haired adorable boy who like his Dad? I shook my head and looked back at the doctor who was looking at the screen with concentration. See! Nothing there!

"There! That's your little one! And you have already got a heartbeat. From the dates and the growth, you are six weeks pregnant, Ms. Michaels."

I gaped at the doctor. This was no longer looking like a prank. But how could it be?!

My eyes fell on the screen and hooked on to the black pea shape on it. That was a baby? My baby?

As my gaze riveted on it, I knew that it was the truth. There was no denying it anymore. I was pregnant!

My hand moved to my stomach and I felt a bond form with the life that was growing inside me. My mind went blank and I couldn't even tell what was black and what was white, but one thing I knew for sure. There was a life inside me and I already loved it. I was totally against the idea of being pregnant until a few moments ago, but seeing the screen, it was love at first sight. I would figure out how I got pregnant and everything else later but for now, I could only watch the little peanut on the screen mesmerized. That was my baby!

"I am pregnant!" I said with awe.

Seeing that I was not screaming hysterically anymore, the doctor relaxed and gave me a smile. After she wrote me prescriptions, I walked out of the room in a daze.

"How would it go?" Tia asked as soon as she spotted me.

"I am pregnant," I announced, but she just smiled at me. Well, she didn't have any doubts like I did.

"I am becoming an aunt," she cheered and I found myself smiling at the idea. Suddenly, I couldn't wait to have the little peanut in my arms.

Then I sighed and thought of my little problem. There was a baby, but what about the father?

After finding out that George had been cheating on me, I had stayed away from men. I had never went out in the night and the only man I had contact with was my dream guy. And as the reality sank in, I had to accept Tia's theory because nothing else could explain the baby growing inside me. My dream guy was never really a dream and he had gotten me pregnant. It didn't make any sense to me because the room was always closed and there was never a sign of anyone breaking in. Also, I never felt any pain the day after the first time we had s*x. But still, he was as real as I was and was the father of my baby. And now he was nowhere to be found…

I sighed and now knowing that he was real, every interaction with him felt different. I started thinking of the incidents during the time I had met him and started connecting the dots. My mind flashed back to the night I had first met him...
