Chapter 3: The Surprise

1 Week Later

Tom had fufilled his goal. Just 3 days ago Jarvis had called him saying that Diana got her job back aslong as she passed a medical exam. So Tom was confident about his chances. Diana was the most helthiest person ever. So on Monday morning Diana was already at NTAC so Tom just dropped Maia off at her friends house. He drove to NTAC quickly and was surprised to see Diana sitting behind a desk and Marie still in the office that Tom and Diana used to share.

"Oh Tom... I'm so glad your here. I nearly lost my job to this woman who used to work here. But I got to keep it because she didnt pass the Medical Exam." Marie hurriedly explained and Tom groaned. He left the office and walked straight to Jarvis.

"Why is Diana not my partner... Please please tell me why because Marie is driving me crazy." Jarvis looked at him.

"Easy she didnt pass the medical exam didnt you know shes..." Tom cut in.

"Shes what!" He asked and Diana came in the office. Jarvis glanced at Diana for a couple of minutes.

"Tom... Diana's pregnant." Tom looked at Diana who could only meekly nod and he felt like the wind was knocked out of him. He felt as if the walls were closing in on him and without another word he left the office and left NTAC's building.

30 minutes later he was still driving far away from there.

All the sudden Tom's cellphone rang and he completely just ignored it. It rang again and again for 10 minutes and he just grabbed it saw the caller was Diana and threw it out the window. It clanged loudly against the pavement before he ran right over it with his car. He thought a second and backed up and ran over it 3 more times with ease.

Back at Tom's house.

Diana had been franticly phoning Tom's cellphone. She had felt really bad for him. Just finding out that way being put on the spot after he had tried to get her back her job. But it wasn't like they were dating. So its not like she had cheated on him... That was her one clear thought and she told Maia that.

"Maia its not like I cheated on him." Diana said as she franticly kept dialing the phone. Maia looked at her scared mom and couldn't help feeling scared. What if Tom tried to hurt himself.

"Mom its gonna be okay... Tom is sensible and wouldn't hurt himself over you being pregnant." Maia said trying to be strong when all the sudden Diana shrieked.

"Maia. It just said the phone is not in service." Now Diana was scared what if he had done something.

Many hours later at 3:00 at night

Diana woke up to hear the door slam. Atleast Tom was home. She heard the keys in the lock and looked at the door. She had fallen asleep on the couch waiting up for him so naturally when the door opened and Tom was in the doorframe she couldnt resist to do anything but hug him.

"Tom Im sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Diana said as she continued smothering him in hugs, he had worried her so much.

"Di... DI! Di your choking me." Tom replied flatly as she stopped hugging him she was so glad that he was alive.

"Tom please forgive me." She asked giving him a very sleepy eyed grin.

"I forgive you... Now come on lets get you to bed before you drop to the ground." He said grabbing her arm trying to help her up the stairs before she stumbled backed fast sleep.

"Alright Di... Lets get you to bed." He said as he lifted her up with ease into his arms. He started to carry her upstairs. He put her into his bed and carefully tucked her in. He sat into the armchair and soon he was fast asleep.
