âSo I can see from your file only a couple of months ago, your entire left ovary, and the majority of your right was removedâ he says, hands clasped together and his elbows resting on his knees.
âYes, a cyst erupted on my left ovary and there was lots of damageâ
âYes, but itâs the fact that you shouldnât be able to conceive that has me dumbfoundedâ
ââShouldnât be able to conceiveâ? What do you mean?â Avery asks, my mind was to boggled by that statement to ask myself.
âThe reason for Kayleeâs discomfort, and why I had the blood tests doneâ He turns towards me to finish his sentence âYouâre pregnantâ. Shock crosses my face. But how? The doctor gives me a moment to process the news before speaking again.
âNow, due to your past condition, I would like to see you weekly, if not fortnightly, for checkups and to ensure the babyâs health and growth are normal. Very few women in your position actually come out with a healthy, full grown baby. Most do have many complications, but given your fitness level and healthy eating from the cysts, there should hopefully be no dramasâ
âWhat complications can she have?â Avery asks. The doctors looks at her before answering.
âThe basic complications we have with women with PCOS, is mainly miscarriage. But there is also a high case of gestational diabetes, and pregnancy induced hypertensionâ
âWhatâs that? The hyperâŠ?â
âHypertension. It develops after the twenty week mark and causes high blood pressure, server swelling, and can process into eclampsia, which is seizures, neurological damage, blood clotting, and can result in both maternal and fetal death. This is why I would like to keep a close eye on your progressâ he says turning to me. âNow if you donât mind, I would like to notify all nurses and doctors of the situation, in case I am not available should something happenâ
âYes that is not a problemâ I say, my head still trying to wrap around all the information.
âGreat. Now Iâm going to prescribe you with some medication to keep all of your levels up, take each one as described, and I notice you are on the pill?â
âYes, I amâ
âOkay, as of today, do not take them. Iâm also going to give you some print outs on what to expect throughout your pregnancy, most of it is pretty straight forward, like any other pregnancy, but there will be information on the complications we spoke about for you to read to get a better understanding. Itâs not to scare you okay?â I giggle at that and nod. âIt would also be good for your family and friends to read them too so they can assist you in any way possibleâ Doctor James turns back towards his computer and begins typing and printing. Pulling a manila folder out of his bottom draw he places everything inside and hands it to me.
âNow if you have any questions, just come in and ask to see me. Iâve put you on the priority list so you should be able to see me straight away. Now I would like to set up the next appointment for in two weeks, so what suits you?â we organize my next appointment and after saying goodbye, we leave.

âWhat did you do?â my mother snaps.
âNothingâ I snap back, throwing my head back.
âThen why did Chelsea run out of her crying?â she asks.
âBecause I told her to get out! Weâre over mumâ I yell.
âChase Ryder Scott! Do not tell me you left that poor woman whoâs carrying your unborn child!â
âThat âpoor womanâ cheated on me! Itâs not my kid!â her face drops.
âWhat do you mean? How do you know she cheated?â she asks softly. I take in a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming myself.
âShe told me⊠A few weeks after I found out she was pregnant. We were going to tell you the news that weekend during lunch, butâŠâ I take another breath.
âOhâ she stands still for another moment before walking towards me and wrapping her arms around me. âIâm sorry baby boyâ she whispers as I wrap my arms around her, hugging her back.
Caroline Marie Scott is a soft hearted woman, I should know that better than anyone. My 5â6, 45 year old mother is the most caring woman I know. Her long light brown hair is pulled back out of her face in a neat bun, and her dark blue eyes stand out behind her light eye makeup that makes her look 30 instead of 45. She is a stunning woman, and many people tell her so. I guess it helps that she is an active person, always on the move, mostly for the charity she runs. Mum lost her parents when she was 6 years old, and was moved from home to home until she turned 18. She helps the kids whoâve lost their parents, giving them a stable home, helping them through school and raising money to help get them whatever they need. Sheâs been running the charity since I was five, and so far, has been very successful.
Pulling away from me, she gives me a faint smile and rubs my arm.
âIâm very proud of you Chaseâ I nod my head, giving her a smile back. âNow why donât we go have some lunch, and we donât have to talk about her if you donât want tooâ I give a little laugh, nodding my head.
âIâd love that mumâ I say before gathering up my stuff, and with her hand in the crook of my arm, I escort her out of my office.
Kaylee
Skylarâs sitting on the front step smoking a cigarette when we arrive home. She stands up as we pull into the driveway.
âHey, whereâd you two go? Been sitting out here for an hourâ she says as we climb out the car. Avery looks at me first before she walks around the car to my side.
âWe were at the doctorâsâ I say, the shock still in my system. The news hadnât really sunk in yet.
âWhat for?â Skylar asks taking one last drag from her smoke before stamping it out on the driveway, a cloud of smoke escaping from her lips. I pause a moment before grabbing her elbow.
âLetâs go inside firstâ I say pulling her towards the front door.
Once weâre inside, I pull Skylar into the lounge room while Avery makes for the kitchen to make us some cups of tea. Sitting on the couch, Skylar looks at me closely.
âKaylee? Whatâs going on?â she asks. âThere not back are they?â
I shake my head staring at her. This is going to be the first time I say this out loud. I look down towards my stomach. Thereâs a baby in there. The thought makes me smile. With a hand over my stomach I look back up to Skylarâs worried face.
âIâm pregnantâ I giggle, cradling my stomach. Skylarâs face turns to confusion.
âWhat?â
âIâm pregnantâ I repeat, laughing softly. âIâm going to have a baby, Skyâ Skylar breaks into an earsplitting grin and hugs me harder than she ever has.
âOH MY GOD!â she screams. âCongratulations Kay!â She pulls back from me, tears running down her face. She knew how much I wanted to a child, and when the doctor told me I would never be able too, it crushed us both.
âBut, how?â she asks. I shrug my shoulders, a smile still plastered on my face. Avery walks in with a smile and hands us our cups of tea.
âThe doctor doesnât know how, but we all have some reading to doâ Avery says pointing to the manila folder hanging out of my bag. âHe said she can have some complications during the pregnancy and there are ways we could try avoiding them. She has to attend an appointment every week to the doctorâs for checkups to ensure the baby and mum are healthy and strongâ she smiles at the word âmumâ, we all do. Shit! Mum!
âMy mum!â I say. âI have to tell her, and dadâ
âWeâll invite them to lunch tomorrowâ Avery says. âYou can tell them then. You need today.â
âWhat about the father?â asks Skylar. My face drops. I didnât think about that.
âShitâ I say, my head dropping into my hands. I feel both of them begin to rub my back. I tilt my head back, looking at the ceiling.
âWeâll deal with that tomorrowâ Avery says giving me a smile. I smile back at her, and pat her leg in thanks.
âNowâ Avery says standing up from the couch. âHow about I go make us some popcorn and grab some cool drinks and we sit down for a movie?â Skylar and I both nod our heads. âSky, do you want to go grab us some blankets? And Kay can pick a movie.â We all head off to our chore. Searching through our movie collection, I found one that I believed fitting for the situation. Popping it in the player, I sat on the couch to wait for the girls. Once we were all settled in and ready, I picked up the remote.
âWhat we watching?â Skylar asks stuffing popcorn into her mouth.
âWhat to Expect When Your Expectingâ I giggle, both girls joining me as I hit play.

Lunch with mum went surprisingly well. We went to a little Chinese place mum likes. She ordered the satay beef and I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, our favorites. We talked about all kinds of different things, and laughed so much. On our way back was when mum brought up the upcoming ball in a few weeksâ
âWill you be able to make it?â she asks. Itâs a fundraising ball for her charity.
âIâll definitely try mumâ
âPlease do, honeyâ she says with a smile. âIâm still trying to think of a theme. Weâve already had a masked ball, and a Victorian one.â We sat there thoughtful for a moment.
âWhat about a Dreamâs Ball?â I ask.
âWhat do you mean, dear?â giving me a confused smile.
âWell, itâs for the kids to help make their future dreams possible. So, what if everyone comes as their dreams, or when they arrive, they say or write their dreams down, and have the kidâs dreams typed out and hanging on the walls for the guests to read. It may even help more.â Mum gives me a big smile.
âI love it. A Dreamâs Ballâ she pats my hand, giving it a squeeze.
Arriving home later that day, I find a box on the ground in front of the door. Picking it up, I open the door and walk inside. Chucking my keys on the bench, I put the box down next to them and shrug myself out of my black suit jacket. Walking around the bench, I go to the sink and pour myself a glass of water. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the scribble on the side of the box.
Chase Scott
In black texter is my name. Pulling my glass down, I walk over to it. Grabbing a knife out of the holder, I slice the sticky tape and open the box. Inside are my old shirts Chelsea used to wear, and take home with her, photos of us together, and a letter in a sealed envelope. I
