The next few weeks went by so quickly and ariella had officially moved into Willy's room and they couldn't be happier. One day Willy had to go to Paris to try and fix a problem about the chocolate melting on the plane from London.
"I'll miss you."
"I won't be gone long just a few days is all."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
The very next day while discussing some new products with Charlie ariella felt sick and ran to the bathroom. Charlie stood outside the door and knocked gently.
"Ariella? Are you ok?"
"Yes I'm ok. Oh sorry, I just felt really bad."
She stepped out of the bathroom and walked back into the meeting room. They sat down and went back to their discussion about the candy.
"Charlie how about we do this later I'm not feeling well at all."
"Sure."
Charlie went back to his house but ariella went straight to the infirmary and sat down in the chair waiting for the doctor. He arrived looked over her chart, and sat down on his stool.
"What seems to be the problem?"
"I just feel really sick and nauseated. And I'm exhausted."
"Well I think it might the flu. Fluids and bed rest for you but just in case let's draw some blood."
He had her roll up her sleeve and drew a tube of blood. She tried her best not to look at it but she did and almost threw up at the sight of it.
"Ok you're all done you can go now."
"Thank you."
She rolled her sleeve back down, walked into her room, and lay down. She didn't even get out of bed when Willy came home. Charlie met him at the front doors wanting to hear all about Paris and what it was like.
"Hello Charlie, how goes things? Everything went smoothly without me?"
"Oh yes everything went fine ariella and I had everything under control. How was Paris?"
"Huh? Oh wonderful still the same from the last time I went there. Where is ariella?"
"She's been in bed for the past few days she's sick."
"Oh my I hope it's nothing serious."
He walked to his room leaving Charlie behind in the chocolate room because he still respected his mentor's wishes about their privacy. He opened the door and found her asleep in the bed. He sat down beside her and felt her forehead.
"She's cool to the touch so she's not running a fever."
He ran a hand over her face and stroked it gently. She awoke to see him leaning over her.
"Oh your back."
"Charlie tells me that you're sick it's not serious is it?"
"No the doctor thinks it's just the flu."
Just then the phone rang; she reached over and picked it up hearing the doctor's voice on the other end.
"Ariella?"
"Yes?"
"I have your test results back from the blood I drew. Congratulations."
"What?"
"You're pregnant."
"What…? You're sure?"
"Yes. I ran the test twice."
"Thank you."
She hung up the phone with the doctor's voice resounding in her mind. "You're pregnant." She slumped back in the bed and drew the covers back over her. Willy saw the emotion in her face and started to get scared.
"Darling? What is it? Who was that?"
"It was the doctor. He said that it was just the flu I'll be fine in a few days. Nothing to worry about."
"Oh good I'm glad that it's nothing. I'll let you rest you need it, so you can get right back to work."
He kissed her cheek and she kissed his and crawled back under the covers. When she was sure he was gone she got up, dressed, and went on her way to the chocolate room to see the only other person who was gone through this before. Charlie's mother.
