Chapter 5
5 Months went by, and Olivia still hadn't heard from Elliot. She was now 6 ½ months pregnant and her broken heart was beginning to heal. As long as Elliot wasn't mentioned, Olivia wouldn't break down in to tears, remembering that he was the father of her child.
8.30am
Olivia was woken by her alarm clock, she slammed her hand down on the snooze button.
"5 more minutes" she mumbled. But the baby had other ideas.
"Ah man, I gotta pee" she mumbled grumpily as she sat up.
She got up, walked in to the bathroom and used the toilet before having a showering, getting dressed, and to finish off with she done her hair and applied her make-up.
Olivia tired walked in to the kitchen, Casey was sitting at the table, already showered and dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a pink top and she was drinking coffee.
"Morning Liv"
"Morning Case" Olivia replied as she opened the fridge, "Wish I could drink coffee"
Olivia grabbed out the orange juice and poured herself a glass.
"Someone's in a bad mood" Casey snickered as Olivia took a sip of her orange juice.
That comment really annoyed Olivia. "You would be too, if you had a sore back from carrying another human inside of you" Olivia replied coldly before walking off, out the apartment in to her car.
Casey sat there in shock and sighed. "It's gonna be one of those days. I've gotta get in to contact with Elliot somehow. I'll ask Justin, he's his best friend, so he should know" Casey thought to herself as she grabbed the phone.
Olivia was in the car with the stereo blaring, today she decided to listen to her U2 CD and played the song 'Beautiful Day' to try cheer herself up a bit as she drove to her OB appointment.
At a red light, Olivia put her hands on her belly. "Should I find out your sex today, baby? Kick once for yes, 2 times for no"
The baby kicked 3 times instead and Olivia started laughing, "You can't count, baby"
The light turned back to green and she continued to drive.
"Hi Elliot, it's Casey"
"Oh hi, Casey. What's up?"
"You needa come see Liv"
Elliot sighed. "Why the hell do I need to? She's big girl, she can look after herself. Plus I'm all the way upstate and I have a pregnant fiancée to worry about"
"Yeah and a pregnant ex-lover" Casey mumbled.
"What did you say, Casey?"
"Nothing"
"No, please tell me what you said, I didn't hear you"
"I gotta go, bye" Casey said and quickly hung up the phone.
"Thank God, he didn't hear me" Casey sighed.
Olivia was lying on the table, having an ultrasound done.
"Everything is going great, Olivia. The baby is the right size for 6 ½ months. Would you like to know the sex, this time?"
"Nope, I still want a surprise" Olivia said smiling.
Dr Lockhart smiled. "Ok then, I'll see you next time" She said as she wiped the gel off Olivia's extended belly.
Olivia's bad mood from earlier that morning had completely disappeared. On the way back to her car, she kept looking at the ultrasound picture and smiling.
In the car as she was driving, Olivia was singing, she was so happy and knew that she had to apologise to Casey for her outburst earlier.
When Olivia got to the apartment building, she rode the elevator up to the 3rd floor, walked to the door and let herself in. "Case!"
Casey came out of her bedroom. "Hey, Liv. How was the appointment?" Casey asked as they sat on the couch.
"It was good, everything is going great" Olivia replied, and then gave Casey the ultrasound picture.
"Did you find out the sex this time?"
Olivia shook her head. "I still haven't changed my mind about having a surprise, Case"
Casey smiled as she passed the picture back. "That's nice. Anyways, I did something today and I think you should know, but please don't get angry"
Olivia was confused. "Casey, what's going on?"
"I…Um… I rang Elliot today and he's living upstate and is engaged to Kathy"
Olivia was furious and stood up. "Oh my God, Casey. I can't believe you did that!" Olivia shouted before going in to her room and locking the door behind her.
Casey could hear Olivia crying. "What have I done?" Casey asked herself, she was starting to regret what she had done, even though she thought it was a good idea at the time.
She waited 10 minutes before getting up and walking to Olivia's room and knocked on the door.
Olivia was still crying, when she heard Casey knocking on the door.
"Go away, Casey"
"Please let me in, Liv"
"No. I don't wanna talk to you right now" Olivia replied, trying to keep calm for the sake of her baby.
After 5 more minutes of knocking, everything was quiet again and Olivia heard Casey walking away.
Olivia continued to lay there with her hands on her belly. "Hey baby, are you ok in there?"
The baby began moving around in response.
"Mummy, loves you baby" Olivia whispered before going to sleep.
Casey woke the next morning to a quiet apartment. She walked to Olivia's room and knocked and got no answer. She turned the handle and to her surprise the door opened, but no Olivia in sight.
"She must be in the bathroom" Casey thought then she knocked on the door and got no answer.
She opened the door and Olivia wasn't there either.
"Oh my God, where the hell is she?" Casey was now officially worried, more so because she was 6 ½ months pregnant.
