Part 4-
Taking the hand that her "wife" offered her for reassurance, Lena could swear she saw a mixture of complex feelings play out within Bianca's eyes. But, she couldn't focus on that now. She had to find out from Dr. Joe what was wrong with her. Looking over at the elderly Chief of Staff putting his glasses on and having a delighted look upon his face.
"Well, it's what I suspected. Lena congratulations you are a pregnant. We will need to run an ultra-sound and get our Head OB-GYN down here to consult you on what you'll need to know and diet with exercise plan for you during your pregnancy to ensure you and your un-born child are perfectly healthy. I've already called her and she'll be down and about half an hour. But, we can run an ultra-sound now to see how far along you are. Okay?"
During entire pronouncement Lena's expression went from horrified to hopeful to delight and right back to horrified, she knew what this meant. Not that having a child was at all out of her plans; it was the "father"- the timing. All of it was just awful and scared her. "Okay!" was all she could manage to squeak out, her mind now totally on just one thing. What will Michael do once he has found out that I am carrying his child? Looking up to see Bianca's face, she saw no surprise there, just support. Lena figured that's what Dr. Joe had told Bianca outside the exam room earlier.
The ultra-sound machine was wheeled over by a nurse; they had Lena lay back in an almost upright position, angled for best possible look with the device. After pulling a sheet over her lower, private region/pulling the hospital gown up and putting clear jelly over her belly. The put the hand held wand over her belly, it wasn't easy to detect anything really. The technician pointed to certain moving things and indicated what each were, "That is a very strong heart beating, that is the development of a head and it's body. The fetus is asexual still. So, it looks like you are about 12 weeks along. You just past your 1st trimester and you are in your 2nd trimester. The OB-GYN will need to consult you on a regimen that you will need to follow to ensure you and the child will remain healthy throughout and after the pregnancy. Congratulations!" The technician finished whilst writing the data down onto Lena's chart and taken some of the hard-copy ultra-sound pictures and placing them inside Lena's folder. Then, proceeded to exit the exam room, leaving Lena and Bianca alone for about 5 minutes.
Getting up and cleaning her belly off, Lena was swirling with emotion. "We can't let Michael know about this!" Was the only thing that came from Lena's beautiful lips.
"I know we can't let him know, he'll try to impose himself into our lives again and this time it'll be forever. Lena, honey, I know this isn't going to be real easy. But it must be asked. Are you sure it's Michael's?" Bianca finished, not wanting to dwell on the possibility of it being God- knows how many different men' could have fathered Lena's child. It made Bianca sick to think about Lena's past with Cambias Industries. But, if there was any hope of not having Michael in there lives forever, Bianca was willing to face the facts and the history of Lena's, just to be rid of Satan's spawn.
With a guilt-ridden with a twinge of disgust written on her face Lena told Bianca the horrifying truth "No, it's diffintly Michael's I hadn't been with another man in over 6 months. I am sorry, but this child is without a doubt Michael Cambias'. The one thing that Michael needs to ensure that his father gives him the respect that only he thinks he deserves. The one thing to force Alexander into making sure that Michael takes over the family business of greed and corruption, to keep the power within the family. The bloodline is ensured, and Alexander is going to have a grandson to one day take over for Michael when the time comes. I am sorry, Bianca, but there is no way we can hide from it."
