Right Time

Chapter 12

After deciding on this Sunday, and here I was explaining to my three best friends how I had only been divorced for a month and a half and already been on a date.

“So did you f*ck him?” Reannah asked, not holding back.

I instantly felt my face turn red. “No it was just a date and then we hung out yesterday.”

“So just a date?” She asked again, looking disappointed.

“I really like him.” I blurted out.

The room remained silent as the girls looked at each other.

After what felt like an eternity, Nicky broke the silence. “You think you like him but you have never dated and, honey, you don’t even really know yourself.”

“I know why you think that but I do know myself and that was why I couldn’t stay with Chris after seeing the video of him getting a b*****b from Claudia.” I said with a little too much anger.

“Just…..be careful.” She replied.

With that we spent the day talking about everything and everything. It was exactly what I needed after a long week and just before my yearly checkup.

This was the first appointment I would attend alone. I know it wasn’t rational to be worried. There was a chance I would never get sick, but seeing how both of my parents died of cancer, I couldn’t help but be worried.

After my father passed, Chris went to every appointment with me. He always held my hand and was there for me. I know I could have asked one of the girls to come with me but I didn’t want to depend on somebody. I needed to know I could do this on my own.

My phone ringing took me out of my thoughts.

“Hello.”

“Hey beautiful! How are you?” Wyatt asked.

“I’m good. How are you?”

“I’m well but you sound like something is wrong.”

“Actually, I have my yearly doctor's appointment tomorrow and …….” I couldn’t believe I just told him.

“And you’re nervous because you lost your Mom and Grandma to ovarian cancer. Don’t forget, princess, my family had a very unhealthy obsession with yours.”

“Do you have an unhealthy obsession?”

“Hmmmm no I don’t think I do, but I can understand why the obsession happened.” I could hear the smile in his voice.

I giggled just like a little school girl.

“So when is your appointment?”

“Tuesday…. I’m taking off the day from work but my appointment is at 11. Elijah will be back.”

“How about we have lunch after?”

“I would love to have lunch with you.”

I heard in the background a small voice “Daaad”

“Miah, I’m sorry, but Noah has decided not to stay asleep tonight. But I will call you tomorrow.

“Good Night Wyatt.”

“Good Night Miah.”

************************

Tuesday came faster than I expected. For the first time, I was sitting alone in the exam room. I felt so nervous it made me sick.

“Hello Miah. How are you feeling today?” She asked as she closed the door behind her.

“I’m well. How are you?”

“Couldn’t be better.”

She looked around and I am sure she was surprised to see me alone but she didn’t ask why.

“So let’s take a look at your results.”

I watched as her face scanned the paperwork. “Everything looks great with your blood work.” She said with a smile.

I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.

“That is great news.”

“Well, I have even more great news.”

I tilted my head, confused.

“Your pregnant.”

My mouth went dry. Pregnant?

“But….but I’m on birth control.”

“It’s not 100% and it looks like we changed your birth control 12 weeks ago and then we saw you a week later because you were sick and I ordered a z-pack. Since you are 10 weeks pregnant I would say it happened during that time frame.”

I sat dumb stuck. I was pregnant. A part of me was angry. Angry that Chris was not here because he was selfish there, but a larger part of me was happy and excited.

I looked up and smiled at Dr. Conner. “I’m pregnant.”

She smiled back and prescribed me prenatal vitamins and referred me to my OBGYN. Walking out of the doctor's office, I was still in shock.

As soon I stepped out of the building, my eyes fell on Wyatt. He was leaned up against his car and the moment he saw me he made his way to me.

He didn’t hesitate to place a kiss on my lips and I instantly replied. But only for a moment before I realized I was kissing one man while pregnant with another man's baby.

“How did it go?” He asked, smiling down at me.

“Great.” I replied, smiling back. I had a feeling this would be our last meal together and I wanted to make the most of it. Selfish…. I know, but I really liked him and it wasn’t fair for me to continue being with him. But for now, I was going to enjoy our time together.
