So, a few words about this chapter. First, you all thought that Ana looking at his plans was something but I actually didn't think of it that way :D It actually meant nothing :D Second, unfortunately this story has a pregnancy ending. I don't know how it happens that my stories sometimes ends this way, but that's the way it is, and I hope you will like the last chapters though. At least my two next stories won't be pregnancy ones.

Hope you like this!

"Ana, I got your project, you are so getting this job." Kate said over the phone, but Ana actually didn't have much time to talk now.

Unfortunately the only time she was able to get in to see her gynecologist was the day before the biggest day in her career.

No wonder, because Dr. Greene was one of the best in Seattle.

"Thanks, Kate. Let's talk later okay? I'm kinda busy." Ana hung up just as she heard her name called.

So many things to worry about – tomorrow she would have to present her project and beat Christian.

Today she was making sure she had nothing left from him in her body.

Thank God the pill must have worked since she had her period a few days ago. But she needed to be sure about STDs since that one time in the office they had not used any protection.

It was not that she didn't trust him, but she just wanted to be sure. Sure that there was nothing wrong with her because she hadn't been feeling like herself lately. It was hot and she was nervous about the project, and about everything.

"Ana, what brings you here today?" Dr. Greene asked as they sat down in her office.

"I would like to check that I don't have any STDs."

"So you had unprotected sex?" Dr. Greene asked as she searched for something in her drawer.

"Well, yes..." Ana shyly said.

"Then to be safe we will take a pregnancy test, too." Dr. Greene said as she handed Ana a small cup.

"No, no." Ana laughed, placing the cup back on the table. "I had my period and I'm on the pill. I'm not pregnant."

"I still insist on you taking one just to cover all the bases."

Ana sighed, knowing she had no other choice.

"And you will also have to take a blood test for the STD panel. I will get everything ready, the bathroom is there."

Ana took the cup and went in the little bathroom.

This was just a formality, she reminded herself as she peed into the cup. Just a simple formality to be certain, so there is nothing for her to be worried about.

And then she will feel better when she knows that she is okay without any doubts.

"Okay, we will wait for just a few minutes for the test to finish. Now you can sit in this chair." Dr. Greene said as she dropped some liquid in the cup and led Ana to the other side of her office.

And tried to relax as Dr. Greene examined her but as she heard the clock ticking she started to get nervous.

Dr. Greene looked at the test and then took out some equipment from another drawer.

"Well, it seems we will have to do an ultrasound. Congratulations, Ana."

An ultrasound could only mean... Oh God, she started panicking. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized she was pregnant. She was expecting Christian's baby.

"Ana, what's wrong? Trust me, unplanned pregnancies usually lead to the most loved kids." Dr. Greene tried to cheer her up.

"I can't be pregnant... You don't know, I... Tomorrow I need to get my dream job..."

"Anastasia, dear." The doctor said as she rolled up Ana's blouse. "Trust me, nothing's more important than the baby you are carrying."

She didn't want to believe her but when the room was filled with her baby's heartbeat, Ana started thinking differently.

"See that black point?" Dr. Greene asked. "It is your baby. I see you are in the very early stage of pregnancy. Do you know how far along are you because I can't tell exactly?"

"Six weeks." Ana said, still not taking her eyes off the screen.

As the doctor finished her scans and talked to her about some vitamins she should take and the changes in her life now.

"The blood test is on the second floor, take care of yourself and good luck!"

Ana was still in shock as she walked upstairs to take that blood test.

Everything was starting to come together. She and Christian were no longer that awkward together, they had learned how to communicate without having sex after that last time, and she had done so well with her project.

But this... this was unexpected and a shock. If she was keeping it was not a question. But how will she be able to work as a Financial Director while pregnant? It was such an important job and frequently stressful and challenging.

She kept asking herself these questions all day until she finally decided to call Christian. He had to know. He deserved to know before they get back to hating each other because only one of them would get the job.

She opened the door of her apartment, and Christian could see she had spent hours crying.

"Anastasia. What's wrong?" Christian asked, worried. He had never seen her this weak. Something definitely was not right.

"Come in." She said as she led them to a couch where she sat down, wrapping herself in a blanket.

"Ana. Tell me. Why did you call me?"

Instead of talking she broke down in tears, only stopping crying when Christian wrapped his arms around her and comforted her. She wiped the tears away and looked in his eyes.

"I'm pregnant."

Pregnant. Christian was not ready to hear this. But there still was a chance that...

"Whose it is?"

"What? Do you consider me someone who sleeps around with everyone? There is only one candidate for the father's title, and it is you, Christian."

"Oh God..." He sighed as he stood up and ran his hand through his hair. "I can't believe this. No. We are not going to have a kid together, Anastasia. I can't do this. I can pay you to raise the baby if you are keeping it... Just don't bring me into this, please."

She watched him speak and everything was gone.

All she had felt for this man was gone.

When she had thought he was sweet and caring – now it seemed unbelievable he had been so good to her then.

"Please get out of here, Christian." She said as she stood up and walked to the door. She opened it and waited for him to leave.

"Ana, I'm sorry, I just can't. I'm not ready for this."

"As if I was." She said as she closed the door after he went out. Then she collapsed on the floor and started crying harder than she had cried all day.

What now?

She called Kate and hoped at least her best friend would make her feel better. And in twenty minutes Kate was there, with a bottle of wine and chocolates.

"Ana, was it him? He is nothing that a glass of wine won't cure." Kate said as she went to the kitchen but Ana stopped her.

"I'm pregnant."

"Ana, oh God." Kate said as she turned around and almost dropped the bottle.

"Is it his?"

"Yes." Ana nodded and placed one hand on her still flat belly.

"I will need that wine." Kate said and took a glass and a corkscrew from Ana's kitchen and went back to the couch.

"He is not interested. He doesn't want a baby." Ana said, while Kate was drinking half of the glass in one sip.

"Idiot." Kate said. "What are you going to do? And what about the job?"

"I thought about it... I will leave. I can't take this job when I am pregnant."

"But you have worked so hard, Ana... You should have used his ideas, he deserves it now. "

"I know. That's why I will still present my project to Peter tomorrow. And if I get the job I will turn it down. If I don't get the job I will just quit. No matter how expected or unexpected this is, the baby's far more important than this job."

"Oh, Ana..." Kate wrapped her arms around Ana for a hug. "I am so proud of you. And I want to kill that jerk. But you are amazing."

"Thank you so much, Kate."

They continued to talk and Kate even made Ana eat something.

And just after an hour they were saying goodbye.

"Take care, Ana. And show them what you have tomorrow, got it?" Kate asked before she left.

"I will. I have worked too hard on this. " Ana said, closing the door after her friend left.

She went back to her couch, taking her notebook with her. She opened to the page she had written when she had left for Rome.

Now it was not about if she will be able to handle the director job. It was about she gets the job or not.

And she will, she kept telling herself as she kept repeating the whole presentation until she fell asleep.
