Returning to You

Jessica’s POV

I sat on the doctors table with my hands clasped in my lap as the doctor told me the facts
“you are about five weeks pregnant, does that fit?” I bit my lip and nodded, it fit with the night before Brian went on tour, we had run out of condoms. The doctor nodded and typed away on her computer but Hannah interrupted her by asking
“could you just explain the dangers to the baby if you are constantly laid up in bed and not eating right” I cut a glare at her but the doctor focused on me and asked
“is this what is going on?” I hesitated but nodded
“yeah, I just broke up with the father” she pursed her lips and nodded
“not uncommon, this behaviour of your though is not good for the baby, for one you need regular exercise to make sure you stay healthy because if you aren’t healthy then the baby isn’t and not eating well then you aren’t feeding the baby so it will lack the right nutrients to grow and you could lose it, weight loss could mean that if you fall down and hit your stomach there isn’t enough padding and the baby could be lost” I stared at her in horror.
Wrapping my arms around my abdomen I hunched in on myself as if to protect my baby as I whispered in my mind to it that I was sorry, so very sorry and that I loved it really. The doctor carried on
“there are vitamins and supplements that you should take with your regular meals to make sure that the baby is getting the right things and you should also work out a meal plan so that what you eat is the best for you and the baby” I nodded and gave a small smile
“thank you doctor” she nodded to me and smiled before writing out the prescription which I filled once we got out of the doctor’s office then headed straight for home with a pamphlet the receptionist gave me on proper food for pregnancy.
Arriving at home I walked straight in to the kitchen and placed the pamphlet on the fridge with a magnet then placed the vitamins on the side by the sink so I would remember to take them.
I then turned my attention to the cabinets containing my food and opening them I stared up at the contents and huffed, it was basically all junk food or easy to make stuff like tinned soup. I turned and grabbed the bin which I dragged over and opened before I started pulling items from the shelves and throwing them in the bin while Hannah looked on in horror.
I was about to dump a bar of chocolate in the bin when Hannah lunged forwards shouting
“NOOO!” I jumped a foot in the air as she snatched it off of me and cradled it to her chest glaring at me. I put my hand on my hips and said sternly
“Hannah, give me the chocolate!” she shook her head and clutched it tighter
“no way, this is my emergency stash” I frowned
“what is it doing here?” Hannah shrugged
“it had to be somewhere Zacky wouldn’t find it, he steals all my chocolate no matter where I hide it, he’s like a blood hound I swear!” I giggled before I shook my head
“you can’t leave it here, it will tempt me and I am determined not to give in” Hannah pouted
“what if I put it somewhere you won’t find it?” I levelled her with a stare
“Hannah? The last time you did that was in England and I had a chocolate craving, I tore the apartment apart looking for that damn chocolate and you came in to find me huddled in a little fort chomping away on chocolate covered rice crispies” Hannah scowled at the memory and muttered
“that was my best chocolate as well and you ruined it with rice crispies” I shrugged
“yeah and I would again, take the chocolate away” Hannah scowled but nodded and placed it in her bag for the moment.
As soon as I emptied the cupboards I got Hannah to take me to the shops to get more food, better food. I could tell Hannah wasn’t that enthused but one look at my face made her suck it up as she hadn’t seen me this happy in a while and to be honest I was only happy because I was going to focus all of my attention on this baby and making sure it was as healthy as I could make it and then as happy as I could as well.
