My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (e manga reader TXT) 📖

“Okay," the doctor opened and closed her linked hand.

"We'll do the test and in twenty minutes, we'll know the result and if it's negative, we'll see about a method to regulate

your period and a contraceptive method, okay?” I nod with a trembling in my whole body. Pregnant? God, just now with Katy's illness?

“It's alright, doctor," I answered without much to say. Isa just squeezed my hand to comfort me.

“Well, come with me,” Dr. Morel stood up. Isa just kept silent. We both got up, walking behind her.

“Isa, what will I do if I'm pregnant? What will I do for God's sake," I whispered in my friend's ear, squeezing her arm nervously.

“Well, you can start by telling the father.”

“Oh. God! Isa. I'm so nervous. Do you think he'll take it well?” It's one thing for us to be boyfriend and girlfriend but it's another thing for him to want a child with me.

“Friend, this is his child. He can't be such a son of a bitch and not take responsibility. If that's the way it is that idiot isn't worth a fucking penny and you won't beg him,” Isa always gets mad about such things.

“Let's wait. Let's not be too hasty. It could just be a hormonal problem," I try to console myself.

“Yes, of course, my friend. It could be just that. Let's keep calm but you have to tell Dante," she added again as I rolled my eyes.

“We said we'd stay calm and you're making me more nervous," I went to the lounge to have the blood removed and then we sat down to wait.

The twenty minutes had already passed. The doctor appeared with some papers in her hand what seems to be my results.

“Paula?” she called me again and I got up on shaky legs.

“Please, come in," she said.

Again there was a familiar discomfort. Maybe, it's because of the extreme nervousness I have right now.

We went back into the office. My heart was pounding, my hands were sweating. Isa gave me a squeeze on my arm in an attempt to calm me down. She knows when I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

“Paula, you're pregnant," the doctor blurted out and it was like a direct blow to my face.

“Paula, we need to do an ultrasound to find out how many months pregnant you are," she kept talking but I kept saying "you're pregnant.”

I said out loud as the doctor looked at me with a raised eyebrow. They both stared at me.

“It's ok, doctor," I answer after I reacted. Isa looks at me tenderly and I thank her so much for being here with me. There is no turning back now. I am totally and completely pregnant. I will have Dante's child.

“Let's go to the stretcher, please," asks the doctor.

I changed into a gown and then went up to the table where the doctor poured a liquid on my belly and began to pass the device to do the ultrasound.

I begin to hear his heartbeat and a treacherous tear escapes from my eyes. I never imagined that I would one day be a mother. I mean, I'm practically Katherine's mother already but carrying a child in my womb, that is, mind-blowing.

“You are one month and a few days pregnant, Paula. Your baby is still very tiny,” What am I going to do if Dante doesn't want this baby?

After the ultrasound, the doctor prescribed the vitamins and the consultation days again. I was still in a complete emotional lethargy, floating in the air. Still unable to believe my reality.

We left the office and before I knew it, I collapsed onto a bench outside the building.

I heard Isa's voice, trying to comfort me but I didn't really know what was happening to me. I know that a child is a blessing but it wasn't planned.

I looked at her with teary eyes. "You are right, Isa. I must tell him and we will know if he loves this child or not."

"Of course, you should tell him, Paula. It is his child too. You both will have a child together and if he loves you as he says he will be happy to be a father. You will see," Isa caressed my back several times.

“I'm going to be an aunt. I can't believe it," Isa started clapping her hands like a little girl. I also start to feel a little happiness. In the end, we ended up laughing. I have mixed feelings. I'm happy because I'm going to be a mom but scared of what Dante might say to me.

“Isa, I'm going to Dante's office. I don't want to wait any longer. I need to know if he wants this child or not," I declared confidently and she nodded with a smile.

“All right, friend. Go and I'll see you later at the restaurant. I'll excuse you with Marcos.”

We said goodbye. I took a taxi right there and went to the company with my stomach upset, my nerves on edge. Thousands of emotions overwhelmed me: nerves happiness, sadness. I didn't know how to explain.

I got to the building. First, went through reception and after having a visitor's pass, I got to the president's office. I nervously walked to the desk of what I think is his secretary but I didn't see anyone. When suddenly the person I least expected to see looked at me with a furrowed brows and then smiled sideways.

"I am! He looked at me from head to toe.

“Precious, what are you doing here? he came over to hug me.

"I came to see Dante," I said. He rolled his eyes and I just smiled.

"Of course, you wouldn't come to see me. Just kidding, Princess. Come on, I'll take you to Mr. Grouch's office," he said laughing.

"Thanks, Iam" that's all I could say. He was extremely nervous

It's the last door. He pointed to a gigantic door. I nodded and walked on shaky legs towards it.

"Go, surprise your love," he said from behind me.

"Thank you, Iam," I raised my hand, smiling as he looked at me with his hands in his pockets.

I opened slowly and entered slowly and by God I wanted to surprise him and the one who got surprised was me. Dante kissing a woman who was sitting on his lap.
