Good News?
This is for you Christelle! Enjoy!
Ana was moved to the maternity ward for monitoring and was settled into her room. She just about dozed off when the door banged open and Kate ran in. "ANA! Are you okay? My heart stopped when they told me you got shot running away from the kidnappers." Kate was a mess! Her mascara was running down her face and she was pale as a ghost. She ran over to the bed and hugged Ana tight as she sobbed. "That was the worst moment of my life. I think I aged 10 years!" Ana wiped her tears and hugged her best friend back.
"I'm fine now. Have a seat. I have some news." Kate sat down in the chair beside the bed still holding Ana's hand. Ana took a deep breath and let it out. "When I was brought in I was unconscious so they did a pregnancy test before they ran any tests on me. Turns out I am going to have a baby." Kate screamed and jumped up and hugged Ana again.
"OH MY GOD! A BABY! That is great! Isn't it?" She asked suddenly serious. Ana nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Nobody knows yet but you and Christian. Let's keep it that way. You are my sister in my heart and I had to share with someone." Now Kate had tears in her eyes. "It is sudden and unexpected but we are excited once we got over the shock."
"You will make a great mom Ana. I don't know how I would have made it through four years of college without you encouraging me. I want to be on the phone with you when you tell your mom though." Kate giggled. "She will shit! A new mom and a grandmother!" The girls laughed until they cried.
Christian came back into the room and smiled. "Care to share the joke? I could use a good laugh too!" Kate told him and they laughed some more. That is what Ray walked in on.
"Well, you certainly don't look like someone who was shot at." Ray came in and kissed Ana and shook hands with Christian and hugged Kate. "What's so funny?" Kate stopped laughing and looked everywhere but at Ray.
"Hi Dad. You didn't have to come here. You can see I am fine." Ana said from her hospital bed. She was still in denial land about the attempted kidnapping.
"No, you're not fine. You were almost kidnapped, got shot and are in the hospital. And you are on the maternity floor. Why is that?" He questioned.
"Sir, when Ana was brought into the hospital we learned she was expecting. We didn't know until today. Ana's blood pressure was high and it still is so the doctor wanted to admit her for observation. She may be able to go home tomorrow if it is back down to normal. We don't know if it is the trauma of being shot at while running away from an attempted kidnapping or the pregnancy." Christian said.
"Congratulations! I thought you were going to wait? I'm happy to be a grandpa but you told me you were going to wait a year at least."
"It was unexpected yes, but we are happy now that we have had time to wrap our heads around it." Ana said. Ray hugged Ana and held onto her for a few minutes.
"My baby is going to have a baby." He marveled. "It will take me a few minutes to wrap my head around that." He said echoing their words from earlier. He sat down and stared off into space. "I want to be on the phone with you when you tell your mother. She will shit! A mother and a grandmother!" Ana, Christian and Kate laughed so hard they cried, again!
"That is what we were laughing about when you walked in!" Kate said.
Have a great day! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
