To Make It Last
Ch. 5
~~~~ One Week Later ~~~~
I heard my baby’s heartbeat at my appointment. It was so fast and I could actually see parts of the baby. My head was spinning and I had another secret photo hidden in my purse.
It was 6pm when I got home.
“Hey Iris”
“Hey Auden where were you?”
“Oh I just had to go and drop something at the office”
“You work too much”
“Pays bills”
“Still”
I just laughed a little and tossed my purse onto the couch.
“I picked us up some dinner”
“Love you Iris”
“It’s In and Out burgers”
“Love you even more”
“Oh I know. Fresh come and get”
I walked over to out dining room table and opened up my burger only to have a wave of nausea wash over me.
Oh Shit not this symptom
I ran for my bathroom and just made it in time. Once I was done Iris spoke from the doorway.
“Well that was weird”
I sat down on the floor and flushed the toilet.
“Shut-up”
“You’ve been acting weird lately”
“Stress”
“Alright”
Iris went to leave when something caught her eye. I followed her line of vision.
“Oh shit”
Reaching out Iris picked up one of my prenatal vitamin bottles that I had forgotten to put back in my medicine cabinet.
Iris looked at me with wide eyes.
“What is this?”
“Nothing”
“It says for prenatal care”
“Really?”
“Auden Brielle Rose. Are you pregnant?”
“What?”
“Tell me the truth. Are you pregnant and DIDN’T tell me!?”
Iris looked so hurt that I couldn’t stand to lie.
I sighed.
“Unfortunately. Yes…I am”
~~~~ Sydney, Australia ~~~~
“Mr. Samuel”
“Mr. Dishbaan”
“Pleasure to see you again”
“It is. How is everything?”
“Not bad actually”
I couldn’t help but smile. I was meeting again with my private investigator. He had things to go over with me.
“So…”
“Well we have found out that Auden Rose has been here in Sydney multiple times.”
“Really?”
“Yes her last being 3 months ago. She was here two months before then and one month before then. Apparently the company she works for is working on a close deal with a graphic company here.”
“Really now?”
“Yes and if my sources are correct and they always are; the companies are meeting again in about one to one and a half months”
“You think she’ll be there?”
“She’s been there every other time since she came to work with them. She’s a head participant in these get togethers”
“This is great!”
“I thought it would be good news for you”
“Not good, great!”
Mr. Dishbaan laughed while I couldn’t help but smile wide. I would get to see my Auden Rose soon. I would get to see her soon.
~~~~ Venice Beach ~~~~
Iris stared at me for a few minutes and then her eyes went wide and she yelled,
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!”
I looked up at Iris.
“I’m pregnant”
“You’re pregnant?”
“Yes”
“HOLY MOTHER OF WHAT!!!”
“Holy what?”
“Why…how…who…what…WHO!?”
“…come again?”
Iris sat down on the bathroom floor across from me.
“You’re really pregnant?”
“That’s where I was today. My ob-gyn. There’s a photo in my pu…”
Before I could even finish my sentence Iris was up and running to my purse. She came back moments later carrying my new ultrasound photo. She sank back down onto the floor and looked from the photo to me and back again.
“Woah”
“Yeah”
Iris looked up at me her eyes still wide.
“How far?”
“Three months to the day”
“Woah”
“Yeah”
“AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME!!”
I started to shrink back against the wall away from Iris.
“I…I was scared okay!”
“Why?”
“Because…I…I wasn’t expecting this to happen and I…I was unsure of everything. I just found out myself a month ago”
“Really?”
“Yes…I don’t even know if I’m going to keep it”
“You’re not doing an abortion!”
“Hell no!”
“Good”
“I mean that I may or may not keep it. I may give it up for adoption. I’m not positive”
“Oh…”
“What do you think I should do?”
Iris thought for a moment.
“Keep it”
“I don’t know”
“You asked for my advice”
“Well aware of that fact”
“Well you still have time”
“I know”
“So you’re gonna be a mommy”
“I don’t know Iris”
“Okay…well…wait…who’s the father!?”
“Um…”
I mumbled out Xavier Samuel very quietly.
“Mummumba what?”
I looked into my best friend forever’s eyes.
“Xavier Samuel. We met in Sydney when I was there three months ago and…we kinda had sex”
“WHAT!!!!”
“…yeah”
“WHY YOU NO TELL ME!?!?”
“Um…I didn’t think this would happen”
“What? You getting prego with the actor Xavier Samuel’s baby!?”
I thought for a moment.
“Yeah that”
“Woman I swear…”
“Swear what?”
“I honestly don’t know but WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME YOU SLEPT WITH THE ECLIPSE HOTTIE!!!!”
“Because you’d go off on me”
“Honey I am PROUD of you! Not the prego part but the getting it on with an actor!”
“I didn’t mean for it to happen!”
“Did you use protection?”
“Um…that parts a bit of a blur”
Iris smacked me upside the head.
“OWWWWW! DON’T SMACK THE PREGNANT WOMAN! NOT GOOD FOR BABY!”
“Then figure out if you used protection”
“Ummmm….”
Iris just glared at me.
“Wait…I’m on birth control…or rather was…but anyway I was drunk Iris and…Xavier Samuel Iris! He’s amazing and sweet and and…I LIKED IT OKAY!!!!”
“Well I sure hope you got something besides a baby out of it”
“OF COURSE I DID!!!!”
“Good”
I just looked at Iris.
“So…”
“So what?”
“Sooooo what did mr. daddy to be Xavier Samuel say when you told him?”
“Um…”
“Um…what?”
“I haven’t told him…actually…I have no way of contacting him…and he has no way of contacting me…”
“WAAAAAAAAATTTTT!?!?!?”
“I didn’t know what to do after the fact and I had a flight to catch so I kinda freaked and yeah.”
“Oh…”
“Yeah…and…I don’t know if I am going to tell him.”
“Why not!? It’s his too!”
“Well I don’t know if I’m even keeping it! So why find and tell him until I know for sure!”
“But Aude…”
“NO IRIS! Not until I know what I’m doing!”
“If you’re so sure”
“I am”
“Okay”
Only I wasn’t
