Chapter Twenty-Three
After finally convincing Cameron to go to the doctor, she and Willy quickly made their way to the office. As Cameron sat in the waiting room with Willy she picked up the newspaper and read the article on the front page. 'Wonka finally ties the knot! But who is the lucky lady?' Cameron groaned lying the paper back down on the small wooden table. So that's why the town had all of a sudden gone bonkers. 'Well now they know!' She could still see the mob of people with camera's outside the office door. 'How did they know we were ganna be here?' Cameron asked herself. She fiddled when her wedding ring as she waited, turning it around her finger. People had already started pointing and starring. When Willy noticed this he laid his hand over hers.
"You'll be fine!" He laughed kissing her lightly on the lips. 'Boy is the press ganna have a field day with this one.' Cameron thought to herself giving him a small smile.
"Cameron Wonka!" The nurse called. How strange her name sounded.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Willy asked as Cameron got to her feet.
"I'll be fine." She reassured him.
"What did he say?" Willy stood to greet his wife as she came back into the waiting room.
"I don't know. He said he would call when he got the test results." Cameron frowned at Willy's disappointed face. "Let's go!" Cameron took Willy's arm as they walked out of the office, the press was still there. Questions like 'Why were you in the doctor's office?' and 'Are you the lucky lady?' were shot their way. Cameron gripped Willy's arm tighter. Before the elevator doors closed Cameron heard someone yell 'That's Mrs. Wonka, she had a wedding ring on her finger.' More flashes went off as they lifted off the ground. She and Willy remained silent the rest of the way to the factory.
"Everything's ganna be ok, I promise." Willy hugged Cameron tighter to his side as they walked into the factory.
"I know!" She smiled up at him. "You should go to work. I need to call Jodie."
"Are you sure you don't need me?" A concerned look crossed his face.
Cameron smiled. "Yes! Now go." She pushed him out of the elevator into the invention room.
"Be careful!" He waved as the doors closed and the elevator took off.
Cameron walked to her room and sat down on her bed. She got out her new cell phone that Jodie had given her as a wedding present and dialed the number.
"Hello!" Jodie answered sleepily.
"I'm sorry to wake you."
"Cameron! How are you? How was the honeymoon?" Jodie asked fully awake now.
"It was wonderful. I'm sorry I haven't called you sooner."
"It's ok Cam. I understand. How are you doing?"
"I think I'm pre..." Cameron puffed her cheeks much like Willy does when he tries to say parents.
"Your pregnant?" Cameron pulled the phone away from her ear a bit when Jodie started screaming excitedly. "That's wonderful." Cameron still remained silent. "What's wrong?" Jodie asked concerned. "Aren't you excited?"
"Of course. I just haven't been feeling well the past couple of days."
"Well obviously." Jodie said. "Do you know for sure?"
"No, I just got back from the doctor's a few minutes ago. He said he would call when they got the results."
"Why don't you try one of those home pregnancy tests?"
"You know me! I couldn't count on one of those things." Cameron sighed. "I should let you get back to sleep. I'm sorry to wake you."
"Don't be, this is excellent news. I congratulate you, but please be carful Cam and call me as soon as you find out."
Cameron agreed before they both hung up. She sighed and threw the phone back down on the nightstand.
The next day Cameron was suppose to go to work with Willy to help with some new ideas. Since it was Sunday, Charlie would be there as well. In an attempt to take her mind off the past few days, Cameron dressed up in some of Willy's old clothes. She picked out a dress coat with purple, pink, and light pink polka dots on it along with a red shirt with an intricate gold design. She wore some of her own black dress pants, Willy's red gloves, and red top hat who's visor part was black. (This is the outfit that Willy wears while you see him in his first shop in the movie.) Last but not least, Willy had some boots made for her with C on the right shoe and W on the left much like his own. After grabbing a black cane with black and maroon swirl ball at the top she headed down to the invention room. She had started to love Willy's clothes. The eccentric colors and designs fascinated her and she was determined to build a wardrobe of her own much like his. She quickly stuffed the front of the button up shirt in the front of her pants before stepping into the elevator.
When she stepped into the invention room Charlie saw her first and was about to call out her name but she held a finger to her lips. He laughed when he saw how she was dressed as he ran over to her.
"You know that new candy Willy was working on that let's you mimic people's voices?" Charlie nodded in response. "Go get me one! Quickly now!" She rushed him off waiting patiently as Charlie brought her the small round candy. She knew for a fact it was safe and it worked because just the other day Willy had tried it on an oompa-loompa and it worked wonderfully. She quickly popped it into her mouth, straightened herself up and walked over to where she saw Willy looking at one of the many inventions. The candy soon dissolved in her mouth as she walked up behind her husband. Cameron placed the cane in front of her with her hands resting lightly on top of it. She smirked as she began speaking, Charlie stood next to her trying to suppress his giggles.
"You know, you really shouldn't mumble, I can't understand a word you're saying." The smirk remained on Cameron's face as Willy turned to look at her surprised.
Willy nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw her behind him. She looked just like him when he was younger especially since she was in his clothes.
"Did I scare you? I'm dreadfully sorry." Her voice still sounded exactly like his own. Charlie could no longer cover his laughter. Cameron obviously couldn't either because she let out the same annoying high-pitched laugh Willy made himself. She covered her mouth with her hand, her face turning a light pink. She hadn't meant to do that.
"Just great! That isn't ganna ware off for another 25 minutes." Willy rolled his eyes.
Cameron smiled at him. "Well then I guess you'll just have to put up with me soundin like you for 25 more minutes." Cameron made her voice into an even higher pitched Willy's voice and poked him in his shoulder. Willy rolled his eyes. "I was only trying to have fun and quiet frankly I found it funny." She pouted as she walked up to stand beside him when he turned away from her.
"Funny you may have been, but hilarious you were not!" Willy frowned down at her.
Cameron rolled her eyes. "Is this any better, savvy?" She looked up at him sounding exactly like Captain Jack Sparrow.
"It would be much better if you looked the part." Willy smiled. "And I must say that's one of my favorite movies." Willy made a short high pitched laugh after speaking. Cameron mimicked him doing the same. "Not funny!" Willy wagged a finger at her scoldingly.
"Oh stop acting like my mother." Cameron groaned.
"Charlie!" Willy called to his heir.
"Yes Cameron!" Charlie looked back over at them, but seeing as he made that small mistake he and Cameron started laughing making Willy frown.
"I'm Willy...this is Cameron!" Willy said correcting him and pointing to his wife.
"No I'm Willy...this is Cameron!" Cameron said correcting Willy before looking back at Charlie.
"15 more minutes!" Willy said looking at his pocket watch.
"I'm countin down!" Cameron replied still in Willy's voice.
"Be quiet women, your irking me." Cameron slapped him on his arm when he said that. Charlie couldn't help but laugh at the two. They were perfect for each other.
A few days later Willy sat in the small office off the invention room reading over some new ideas. Charlie had already gone off to school and Cameron was still asleep up in their room and he didn't want to wake her. He looked down when he felt someone tug on his pants leg. An oompa-loompa held up the phone for him. "Thank you!" Willy said taking the phone. "Hello?" He answered looking back at the papers in front of him.
"Mr. Wonka? This is Doctor Griffin. I have some great news for you." Willy heard the doctor answer on the other end of the line. Willy's face immediately brightened. "Is it true? Is Cameron pregnant?"
"She most certainly is. Congratulations."
"Thank you so much doctor."
"Your welcome. You'll need to make an appoint for your wife's first check up but you can call back later. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Willy hung up the phone and excitedly ran from the room and to the elevator to find Cameron. He wasn't surprised to find her still in bed sound asleep. "Cameron! Wakey! Wakey!" He said tickling her nose. She swatted at him as she turned over on her back.
"Go away!" She mumbled.
"Cameron's ganna have a baby!" He whispered in her ear his voice full of excitement.
Cameron's eyes immediately shot open to look over at him. He was smiling widely at her nodding his head. "What?" She quickly sat up meeting his eyes as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"We're ganna have a baby." He said before leaning over to kiss her passionately. "I'm pregnant!" She said when they parted.
"You most certainly are, my sweet bonbon." Willy said rubbing her stomach. "I know what your thinking."
Cameron looked at him. "No you don't!" She shook her head.
"Yes I do!" Willy nodded tapping her nose with his purple gloved finger. "I gotta go tell Charlie's family before I burst with happiness." He cried as he quickly ran out the doorway. He stopped and stuck his head back in. "I'll be right back!" He quickly took off again.
Cameron sighed lying back down on the bed gently rubbing her stomach. 'I'm pregnant!' She thought to herself. Willy's excitement had obviously rubbed off on her cause she could feel herself smile.
