Chapter Twenty-Five

Two hours later…

Everyone, still dazed by the news that Amita is pregnant, decided that it would be best to discuss the news after they found out Don's condition after his surgery. This didn't stop Charlie from worrying as what this could mean for him and Amita and if this could help them confront any issues they are having head on.

'Well, it does help explain what has been going on with her for the past couple weeks, so that definitely helps us.'

But to ensure this, he motioned to Amita that they needed to talk and they went to end of the waiting hall in case the doctor would come in and neither wanted to miss a chance to the news the first time.

"Amita, the way things have been the last couple weeks, are we okay?" Charlie asked, nervous

"I think we will be soon, now that we know that hormones have been involved on my part." Amita said, knowing there was more to it but wanted to hear what Charlie had to say first.

"I'm sorry for not helping you with any issues you were having, I just wasn't sure what I could even do." Charlie said in a quiet voice, feeling ashamed that he still has trouble knowing when knowing if someone is having some problems.

"You let me try to figure out first, and I wasn't really communicating what I was feeling, so I think we both need to work on the issue." Amita said, as she thought about how she didn't tell anyone that she was feeling weird but couldn't put in the words for it but she knew that she had to process it first.

"I promise, Amita, that I will do the best to my ability to make sure what problems you are having or anyone else who might be having problems, I will try to help you with it." Charlie said with determination in his eyes that made Amita's heart melt with pride with how far Charlie has come in terms of dealing with people.

"Thanks Charlie, I hope to make sure to help you with that as well." Amita said

"Do you want to discuss naming the baby when this is all over?" Charlie asked, now coming to a realization that he too will soon become a father.

"Sure, I'll even help you with the spelling if needed." Amita ribbed him, knowing his famous issue with spelling.

"Hey, I am also working on that but you are welcome to help," Charlie said with a weak smile

Just as they were finishing with their talk, the doctor came out of the operating room.
