Chapter Nine
Jordan did not know how to take the pregnancy news. There were at least one hundred emotions running through her head: happiness, excitement, anxiety, nervousness, worry, fear, strength, power and being overwhelmed. All of this would come into play as she prepared to get seen by the OB/GYN. The OB/GYN was able to confirm that Jordan is pregnant (8 weeks) but there was concern of the doctor because Jordan passed out the week before; it had to do with her blood. She was showing signs of clotting so the doctor deemed her pregnancy high risk. She wanted Jordan to steer clear of anything too strenuous in order to deliver a healthy baby in 32 weeks. If not, she and the baby would be at risk of not surviving. Jordan broke down and was inconsolable as she immediately thought how Curtis and Thomas could be without her. Once Jordan got her bearing together, she promised the doctor that she would take it easy.
Now, the hard part of this would be to inform Curtis. Jordan got up the nerve to sit Curtis down and told him that the pregnancy is high risk due to potential blood clotting. Curtis asked that she repeat that once more. The shock of it all had not sunk in yet. Curtis consoled Jordan, assured her that it would all be fine and their baby is a true miracle. Curtis went to prepare a home cooked dinner for Jordan and Thomas. Afterwards, they all basked in each others' company watching cartoons until the wee hours of the morning. Jordan woke up momentarily to get some juice and glanced over at her two handsome guys and thanked God that he has given her the family she dreamed of.
