Jordan was cleaning engine parts in his garage, he had managed to cut himself at least four times within the last hour. He kept thinking of Angela and prayed that she was okay.
He turned up the radio and slid underneath Red, humming along mindlessly to the song blaring out.
Angela crept into his Garage and sat watching him hum as he worked, his oily overalls looked extra sexy on him and she could see the sweat pouring off of his arms.
She turned the radio down and Jordan immediately looked to see who had tampered with his radio. Angela stood over him smiling broadly.
He got to his feet and hugged her. "Everything is okay right?" he asked
Angela pulled him into a deep kiss and replied "I'm all yours"
Jordan laughed and picked her up, he spun her round and buried his face in her hair. At last they could start over, things would be better and they would be stronger than they ever had been.
A lot happened over the next Three months, Angela had transferred her work to Three Rivers and She and Jordan were adjusting to living together. Angela got annoyed at Jordan's refusal to lower the toilet seat, Jordan complained about Angela's make-up and accessories cluttering his bathroom, it was a completely normal and well balanced relationship.
They had spent their days, going on long walks, visiting friends, clubbing and seeing live bands. Patty and Graham had begrudginley accepted that Angela and Jordan were together and Jordan had even helped out Graham now and then in his restaurant.
They were happy and totally in love.
Jordan had made breakfast for him and Angela, he liked doing it and had even started to put a fresh flower next to her cereal bowl.
"Baby, breakfast is ready.." he called to her. She had been in the bathroom longer than usual. "Ang..Breakfast.." He tapped the bathroom door concerned. "Baby, is everything ok?" He heard the bathroom door unlock and Angela walked out looking as white as a sheet.
"Angela, are you not feeling too good? You're looking really pasty" he stroked her hair and looked at her concerned.
"I'm not feeling too good Jordan, I hardly slept last night and I'm feeling kinda sick," She looked at him sheepishly.
Jordan sat at the table and held Angela's hand, he recognised these symptoms, she'd been like this before. Angela thought the same thing and looked at Jordan, fearful yet undeniably excited.
Jordan reached for his phone. "I'm making you an appointment for the doctors" Angela nodded, scared of raising their hopes once again she remained silent.
Jordan sat down opposite Angela and took both of her hands in his. "You're scared aren't you baby" he whispered softly.
Angela bit her lip and nodded. " Jordan, it could just be a stomach bug..."
Jordan stood up and wrapped his arms tightly around her " Whatever it is Ang, we'll be in this together okay?" He kissed her neck and comforted her but his insides were churning, fear was rising in him and he had to fight to suppress it.
The doctor looked through Angela's medical records, Jordan and Angela noticed that her left eyebrow was slightly raised.
She looked at them both and then to Angela "When was your last menstrual period Miss Chase?" she asked concerned.
Angela tried to think but her mind was blank. "I've um..I've had a real busy few months..I can't remember the exact date.." She mumbled. Jordan held her hand a little more tightly and answered for her " She's been living with me for 12 weeks doc, she hasn't had no bleeding.."
Angela thought about what Jordan was saying, it was true, they had made love everyday since she moved in and she had no sign of any period.
The doctor coughed and handed Angela a pregnancy test. "Could you pop into the bathroom and urinate on this please, it'll confirm if you're pregnant or not"
Angela gingerly took the test from the doctor and turned to Jordan. He laughed at her and said "Babe, I'll stay here, I can't come in there with you"
Angela smiled , of course he couldn't go into the bathroom with her. "I'll be right back" she said quietly, nerves having the better of her.
She went into the bathroom and locked the door. Her mind was racing, she couldn't go through this again, not when everything was going so well with her and Jordan.
She took the stick out of the packet and peed on it. Closing her eyes she placed the stick back into it's sleeve and went back into the doctors office.
"Ok, we'll know in three minutes" smiled the doctor, she could see the scared expressions on the couple's faces.
Angela and Jordan just sat there in silence hardly daring to breathe. The doctor kept smiling at them reassuringly. Angela coughed but it came out as a strangled sob.
The doctor leant forward and handed Angela a tissue.
"Miss Chase, I see here you miscarried seven years ago" Angela nodded, fear tightening in her stomach.
"you miscarried at 10 weeks Angela, that's usually a dangerous stage for a pregnancy, You've told me that you haven't had a period for Three months so I'm guessing it's safe to say the pregnancy is well established IF you are indeed pregnant" She smiled and nodded reassuringly at Jordan who looked as though he might pass out any minute.
The doctor continued talking " Naturally you'll have a scan to confirm the date of conception, we'll know for sure then" she smiled.
She picked up the test and looked at it. She looked to Angela and Jordan and a wide grin spread across her face.
"Well Miss Chase and Mr Catalano..Congratulations, you're pregnant"
Jordan's eyes widened, he looked to Angela who was barely smiling, she looked in shock. He felt the tears well in his eyes and stood up, Angela stood up as well and shook the doctors hand. "Um..thanks...What do we do now?" she asked.
The doctor smiled and said "I'll book you in for a scan next week, go home and rest..Don't worry I'm sure it'll be fine if you look after yourself and get plenty of rest"
Jordan put his arm around Angela, stunned. He didn't know whether to scream out in joy or cry through fear of history repeating itself.
Angela held fast to Jordan, she felt faint and her head was pounding. "Let's go home.." she whispered.
