Chapter 2

-Charlotte's apartment-

Charlotte found it hard to believe it, she is pregnant. She is not married, not engaged nor in a real relationship. What would big daddy be thinking of her? The sad part being, he is so sick he cannot know, he would die of a heart attack. Being pregnant and not married is not acceptable down in Dixie. Charlotte would call an OB first thing in the morning, one that is far away from St. Ambrose hospital and far away from Oceanside wellness group. If any of those "friends'' of Cooper find out that she is seeing an OB, she's gonna get hell. She will save that for later.

- A coffee bar located in Vernon-

Violet was waiting in line to get a latte macchiato and one of those delicious cupcakes they make here. Maybe she would have two. As she looked to her right through the glass window of the shop she saw Charlotte walking into a woman's clinic.

"What is she doing in a woman's cli.." Violet mumbled to herself.

"Can you please move along? Some people have a job you know?" A very irritated guy told Violet as she did not notice she could order.

"Oh, yes sorry, sir!" Violet said and quickly ordered her coffee and cupcakes.

-Oceanside wellness group, Cooper's office-

"I swear it Cooper, she went into a woman's clinic in Vernon" Violet told Cooper as she was eating her second cupcake.

"Why did you go all the way to Vernon for a coffee?" Cooper asked.

"Listen, I went there for their amazing yoghurt banana cupcakes, not specifically for the coffee, but I was there anyways so, and as I was waiting in line I saw Charlotte walking into a woman's clinic, this morning Coop" Violet said.

"How are you sure it was Charlotte?" Cooper asked.

"White Mercedes, M-class, 8 ZDX 051" Violet stated, actually she was impressed she remembered all that information.

Cooper shocked "Wow, impressive Vi" "That is her" Cooper said, he was curious why Charlotte would go to a woman's clinic in Vernon, it had to be something she did not want the hospital to know nor him, since she was doing fine yesterday.

-Woman's clinic, Vernon-

"Dr. C. King?" the ob called in the waiting room as Charlotte shocked a little, while she was reading a magazine.

"Good morning" Charlotte said as she stood up, and followed the OB to the exam room"

After the pregnancy test of the OB, she confirmed that she is indeed pregnant, for a little week.

-Charlotte's apartment, 7PM-

Charlotte was sitting on her couch eating Ben & Jerry's while watching an episode of Sex & the city. She told people that she believes the show stereotypes woman in a bad way, but secretly she like the show. She looked to her door as she heard a firm knock. She walked to the door, as she did not expected anyone tonight.

As she opened the door, she saw it was Cooper. Great, she thought.

"Cooper" Charlotte said, not looking happy.

"Hey Char" Cooper said with a smile, hoping she would enlighten a little.

"What brought you here, Coop?" Charlotte asked seriously. She didn't want to talk to him today, not after the news she got from her OB, this morning.

"May I first come in? " Cooper asked, as Charlotte stepped aside to let him in as she closed the door after him. Cooper turned around to face her.

"So, how are you doing?" Cooper asked as he gave a kiss to her forehead.

"I'm fine, you came all the way to my place, just to ask how if I'm fine?" Charlotte asked. She thought he came for sex, she did not know if she was really in the mood for it, today.

"When people care about each other, they talk to each other about those kinda things." Cooper stated, he had to ask why she entered a woman's clinic.

"We don't do the talking thing Cooper." Charlotte said, having her arms crossed now.

"Yes we do" Cooper said.

"Yeah, we talked about your favorite color." Charlotte said a little frustrated.

Cooper was a little offended "We talked, and I like us talking." Cooper said.

"What do you want, Coop?" Charlotte asked, he was clearly trying to get something out of her.

"Well I want to ask you something…" Cooper wanted to ask it, but it was difficult he took a deep sigh "Violet saw you this morning entering a woman's clinic in Vernon" he said very fast, what a relief he thought, that was out. Charlotte really looks surprised.

Charlotte felt caught, is this Violet out there to get on her nerves? What was she doing in Vernon? She couldn't tell him yet, she needed some time to sink in and to get used to having a baby growing inside of her, and she didn't know where she and Cooper actually stand, relationship wise. She needed to know him better than she did now.

"Yes, I went to a woman's clinic this morning." Charlotte said calmly. "I am healthy, there's nothing for you to worry about"

Cooper stepped to her and put his arms around her, he kisses her on the lips. Charlotte passionately reacts on his kiss. After the kiss he looks into her green eyes, he loves those eyes. "I'm glad that you're healthy but I would like to know if you feel sick" Cooper said as Charlotte looked to the ground, feeling guilty. Cooper placed his fingers under her chin to lift her face so that she would look him in the eyes. "I care about you Charlotte, I'm here for you." Cooper said lovingly. She hugged him tighter as she asked "Can you stay tonight?" Suddenly she was in the mood for making love.
