Veruca and Mike were upstate for a couple weeks. Then they returned home,but,one day, something happened~
Veruca woke up. Her stomach didn't feel so good. She had the urge to vomit! She ran quickly to the bathroom. The sound of her vomiting woke Mike up. He ran into the bathroom as fast as he could,
"Veruca,are you okay?", asked Mike.
Veruca coughed up some of the vomit that she had left.
"No,no,not at all,Mike."
Mike walks towards her carefully to feel her head.
"You are warm and clammy, Veruca."
"Yeah,I feel very uncomfortable today",shared Veruca as she looked up to Mike.
"You need to rest.", said Mike.
He helped Veruca He brought her to her bed to lay down. After bringing her to the bed, Mike said,I'll tell your company you cant come today because you're not feeling so good." "Alright.",Veruca she watched the door close on her face by the moment the door was shut Veruca place one hand on her stomach "I don't think this is some sort of sickness I'm having." Whispered Veruca to herself knowing by the vomiting and the headache she can't not be...no she quickly picked up her phone to make a doctor's appointment.
When Veruca arrived for her doctor's appointment she decided to go by herself. She doesn't want to upset Mike. The doctor was taking a long time. Veruca was in relief! The doctor came out just in time,
"Oh thank goodness, I thought you were never coming out there.",said Veruca in relief. "Well glad I did.", said the doctor.
"Well, your test results are back you're pregnant, Ms.Salt." ,shared the doctor.
Veruca turned pale, "I'm...what?"
She thought she was mishearing what the doctor said.
"You're pregnant, the test results are positive. You are pregnant.",said the doctor again. Veruca look down. What was she going to do? She has a movie company, a famous reputation,but, how could manage a child? Should she take her company on hold to take care of her child? Should she leave the famous life behind? How will Mike react to the whole thing about her being pregnant will it affect their relationship?
"Ms.Salt, if you don't want to keep the baby,there is always abortion.",explained the doctor. "N-no it's my baby and I'm going to keep it no matter what the consequences are." said Veruca bravely.
"Okay. I'm warning you.. taking care of a baby is a big responsibility.",shared the doctor. "Nonsense, I have plenty of money and a company I could do it." ,said Veruca.
The moment she left the doctor's office, she had one thought was how to tell Mike...?.
Later That Night~
Dinner was tense and quiet. Veruca and Mike hadn't say a word to each other throughout the day. So,.Mike tried to bring something up to start a conversation,
"So...they got the dinner orders,right?! ",He began.
"Yeah.", responded Veruca.
Mike realized Veruca hadn't said a word since she had come back. He was wondering if something was wrong.
"Is there something wrong ,Veruca?", he asked.
Veruca turned her head away from him.
"Look ..if I have done something wrong,would you tell??...", Mike paused.
Veruca blurted out,"I'm pregnant."
Mike's eyes widened in shock! He heard but,couldn't believe it
"Are you sure?",asked Mike still wondering.
"Yes I'm sure ,and ,it's yours.", said Veruca as she pushed away from the table.
She placed a hand on her stomach ,even though this is her first month of pregnancy and her baby bump hasn't grown or start show yet.
Mike could tell that she was trying to do that to prove to him that she was pregnant. "Wow, I can't believe I'm going to be a Dad.", said Mike shocked.
"Yes,and,I can't believe I'm going to be a Mom,too.", said Veruca.
She had a worried tone in her voice.
"Wait ,Veruca ,where you going?", he asked.
"To the bathroom.", answered Veruca.
"But,you're walking in the wrong direction.", said Mike.
"I'm going outside to get fresh air.",said Veruca again.
"Veruca ,where are you really going?", asked Mike getting a sense that she is lying to him.
"Well, I'm figuring that your not ready to be a Dad and you're probably going to leave me so...", started Veruca.
Mike shouted out, "What.. no ..no ..I'm ready! I do love you,Veruca .I'm just so shocked to hear this that's all!"
Veruca took a huge breath. She knew if fathers stay with the mother of their child, sometimes, they stay and help them raise the child. Or they could feel over pressured,and,could leave. Veruca didn't want that for Mike.
"Bye Mike.", she said as she walked to the door and left.
Mike was speechless. He couldn't believe Veruca could do that. He thought they were something. He couldn't believe she would tell him something like this! Then, she up and left !
There was no time to stand around and not saying anything, he had to go find her!
