Love and Loss
Part 3: Surprise
The next 3 months of our marriage seemed like a dream. I couldn't believe how happy being with Carlos made me. I'd wake up every morning, Breakfast would be ready and he'd take me to work and kiss me goodbye. He was always there when I finished work, whether it was at 10pm or 4am in the morning to take me home. For once I understood what couples meant about the honeymoon part of the marriage. I just hadn't expected it to end so soon.
Mary had waited 4 hours for Carlos to leave. She bit her lip and it was only because she had forced him out of the house by using the excuse she needed tomato sauce to make pizza, her husband wasn't stupid; they had had pizza last night. He gave her an amused smile before leaving the house.
Now 15 minutes later, she was seated on the bathroom bench, her feet swinging back and forth as she nervously waited for the timer to go off. She rubbed her upset stomach and stared at the phone beside her.
Desperately wanting to talk someone, she decided it was best to call her sister. However after a moment's consideration she hang up before her sister could answer. Lucy now, even though 21 years of age, could still not keep a secret.
She then decided to ring the only person who knew everything about, her. The good and all the bad. Someone who had always been there for her. A person she still needed, especially right now. A person she had hurt deeply.
She knew it was selfish, but still punched in the numbers anyway.
" Hello"
"Hi"
"Mary"?
The sound of a loud buzzer filled the room, and Mary reached over to turn it off.
She reached for the other object and burst into tears.
"Mary, what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant"

Thanks to stargzr1690 for the review, I'm glad you liked the last chapter :), I'm sorry this one was short, but Part 4 will be longer.
