they were now 3 months into their marriage, two of them living in America. They were at the beginning of a cold december month. They were cramped up in their little apartment, that coused for many irritations and a heavy tension between Georg and Maria. A small disagreement easily turned out to a huge fight.
And on top of all maria has been quite nauseous these past few days and she missed her period. That was not really helping the situation. Georg was also getting quite moody lately because he had to work more.
"Darling," Maria said while drying a plate and putting it back into the cabinet "Donna said she could help me with my English, isn't that great!"
"hmm?" Georg said still busy reading the paper
"Donna Miller, the baker's wife"
"oh hmm" He replied not really paying attention
"You're not even listening!" Maria said getting quite frustrated "I'm trying to talk to you and your not even listening, do you even wan't to know how my day went or-"
"woman, would you please just shut up!" Georg yelled
The whole apartment went quiet, even the children in the living room went quiet. this was their third fight this week. surely they had their disagreements like every married couple but never had Georg screamed at her like that. her eyes grew wide in shock at first but then she quietly turned back to to the sink trying fight back the tears.
"i'm going out" Georg said getting his coat and walking out the door
when Maria heard the door slam close she softly started to sob.
"Mother are you ok?" Liesl said slowly walking into the kitchen.
"yes sweetheart, i'm fine" she said drying her tears
"no mother, father had no right to yell at you like that!"
"Liesl, would you please get the little ones ready for bed?" She said not wanting to argue with her daughter too "tell them i'll come in a minute" she send Liesl an apologetic smile
Georg said on a bench in the nearest park. It was dark outside and he only had the pale light of the street lantern that made it able to see the foggy surroundings.
Georg kept thinking of the hurt expression on Maria's face when he snapped at her.
he rested his elbows on his knees and put his head in his hands.
"i'm sorry!" He yelled "I'm sorry, i have failed you all!"
'i can't even provide a real home for my family' he thought to himself
this time he had done it. He had pushed away the most precious things in his life.
Maria felt a wave of dizziness rushing over again, she held on to the nearest chair.
"mother, are you alright?" Liesl said
"yes only a bit dizzy, is everyone asleep?" She said, she hadn't told anyone she was going to see the doctor tomorrow. Not even Georg.
"isn't father back yet?" Liesl said softly
"no," Maria said
"shall i wait with you?" Liesl offered
"you don't have to dear, i will be fine" "and besides you have school tomorrow" she said smiling
"ok" she replied kissing her mother on the cheek
maria stroked her face giving her an apologetic smile.
Maria lay asleep with her head on the table. She slowly opened her eyes rubbing them. when she looked at the clock and saw it was already 11 pm so she decided to go to sleep.
'Maybe he just needs some time' she thought to herself when she put her nightgown on and slowly slid under the warm covers of their sofa bed drifting into a deep sleep.
Georg walked up to their apartment. How was he going to face his family now. Georg hoped that Maria would be asleep so he wouldn't have to face her after his outburst.
He quietly opened the door. The apartment was dark he only saw the little light at Maria's bedside. He walked over to her bedside, she looked so beautiful. He softly stroked her face. He kissed the top of her head and got himself ready for bed.
Maria walked on the buisy streets of New York. Every step she was getting more nervous. Georg hadn't said anything all moring. Which made her even more nervous. What if she was pregnant? She surely had read about the sympthoms, but a baby? She walked into the building and took a seat in the waiting room.
"Mrs. Von Trapp?" The assistant called
she walked into the doctors office. "good afternoon, I'm Dr. Miller"
"How do you do" She said, her english was getting a bit better.
she said down on the chair looking nervously at her hands neatly folded on her lap.
"well, what seems to be the problem Mrs von Trapp?"
"well..." She said getting quite uncomfertable on the subject "I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous lately" she looked at her lap again "and... and missed my period" She wasn't really comfortable talking about these sort of matters and therefore her cheeks turned into a light pink color showing the slight bit of discomfort.
"Well Mrs-" "Maria, please" She said
"Well Maria, if you would change behind the screen, i would like to do a small examination"
"Ofcourse" Maria replied her voice slightly shaking with nerves. How she wished that Georg would have come with her but since neither of them had said a word to each other that wouldn't have been possible. She really wanted everything to be alright again, but she still waited for Georg to say something, anything.
her cheeks turned bright red when came from behind the screen and laid herself down on the examine table.
"Maria, you don't need to be so nervous" the doctor said smiling at her to make her feel more comfortable. She let out a deep breath and let herself calm down a bit as the doctor examined her.
"You can get dressed" the doctor said
"Well Maria it looks like you're about two months along, so congratulations you're pregnant!" The doctor said while Maria took her seat again
"Oh! Thank You doctor!" She said clasping her hands together in joy
"Is there anything i should know or things I should do?"
"For now everything is fine, make sure you get enough rest and eat enough because you're going to eat for two now" The doctor said smiling "I'l have my assistant set up an appointment with you for in about two weeks just for checkup"
"Thank you" She said getting up and shaking the doctors hand "You're welcome" He said as she walked out.
she slowly walked up to the info desk
"Hi, what can i do for you?" The assistant said
"I would like to plan a checkup appointment for in two weeks" "Oh congratulations!" The assistant exclaimed happily "I eh... mean if you are..."
"Yes i am pregnant, thank you" She said smiling up at the nice lady
"my name is Rosie by the way, but i guess you could read that on my name tag" She said with a sheepish grin on her face
"I'm Maria" she said smiling
"Oh I have a niece called Maria beautiful name she-" 'She really is talking fast!' Maria tought to herself while she tought back to her honeymoon
Maria stood there in awe of the huge suite she was standing in. Never had the seen a hotel room this big, she thought their hotel room in Salzburg was big but this was really ridiculous! in the background she heard the Georg and the belloy's quick talking. French, she didn't understand a word of it. And why did they have to talk so fast? she thought. She heard the bellboy leave and close the door behind him. she turned around to adres her husband "Did you understand anything of what he was saying?" "and why did he talk so fast?" Maria said as she furrowed her brow questioning. Georg had to laugh about his wife's remark.
"Well, he was saying that i have a gorgeous looking wife and that i had to watch out for butlers stealing you away" He said teasing her
"Georg!" She said slapping him playfully on his arm. Georg was Happy that Maria really had became more comfortable with him during their engagement. and he loved her questioning about the simplest things.
"He just said that the luggage was on it's way, and he asked about the room" he said kissing the tip of her nose "But what do you think? Is this room satisfying for a baroness?"
"Oh yes! It's Beautiful! Thank You!" She exclaimed wrapping his arms around his neck kissing him lightly on his lips
"Come, I want to show you something" He said taking her hand and leading her to the french doors. When he opened them he led them onto the beautiful balcony.
"Oh my!" Maria exclaimed being in awe of the dark city lit by car lights and a starry sky. The stood there in a comfortable silence enjoying the amazing view.
"But i still don't know why the french need to talk so fast" She said breaking the silence "How on earth did you learn it?"
"My mother taught me, she said that a future baron had to speak at least 3 fluent languages" He said smiling at the memory
"I'll teach you something just repeat after me"
"ok I'll try" She said laughing
"Je t'aime" Georg said
"Je... Je T'aime" Maria said struggling to get the words out "But what does it mean?
"it means," He said getting closer "I love you" He said kissing her passionately. "So now you can always run off with a french butler" He said teasing her again
"I don't need a butler" She said kissing passionately as he lifted her up in his arm and carried her to the bed.
"-She lives not to far from here actually" Rosie said when she finally stopped talking
"Oh i'm sorry i must have bored you with this story!" She said feeling sorry
"Oh it was a nice story" She said even though she didn't even hear everything
"I will schedule you december 20th is that ok with you?"
"Yes that's fine, thank you"
"Well, i'll see you around!" Rosie said
"Yes i hope so, bye!" She said as she walked out into the busy streets of New York again
One part of her was extremely happy and the other part was really worried. How was Georg going to take the news? What if he didn't want a another child? They hand't really discussed the matter. and ofcousrse they didn't have much room for a baby now. All these questions kept going trough her head. How was she even going to tell him if he didn't even talk to her. she just had to figure out a way to make things right again.
so this is chapter 4 hope you enjoyed it
reviews are always appreciated ;D
