Author: didn't put one of these in the beginning of my story. Hey Arnold! does NOT belong to me...Blah blah blah...enjoy! Some of you, hold onto your chairs for this chapter!
Arnold had not called me back like the other times he knew he hurt me badly. Rob had been busy at work lately, and was coming home around 9 every night. I was alone with Caressa from about 3 to 9. By the end of the day I would be exhausted.
After I had confronted Arnold, things had been worse than ever before between us. I felt guilty for going off at him, but I always had to tell myself that he deserved it. I saw Arnold at school with his girlfriend. They were always making out, and word got around that they weren't just kissing anymore. She was beautiful, skinny, smart, and had long luscious hair. Couldn't blame him.
That was one of the things I missed the most. No hair made me feel ugly. It made me feel like all eyes were on me. Rob tells me I look fine without it, but I know it must feel weird for him when he's stroking a bald head at night.
A few days after confronting Arnold, Rob and I had a guest over. We had drinks and dinner with her.
"So, Rob and Helga. How has your relationship been going?" Asked Alura.
Rob and I both looked into each others eyes.
"It's going pretty amazing." I said, still lost in his aqua eyes.
"You guys thinking of making any long term plans between you too?" Rob and I looked at each other. We both knew she meant getting married again.
I spoke up. "After the accident and Rob having to stay late at work, I think we're going to take it slow between us. Right Rob?"
"I couldn't agree more...Uh-I'm sorry."
Robs phone started vibrating on the table. It broke our gaze.
"Oh sweetie, it's your boss, Melanie."
"Who's Melanie? I don't know a Melanie." He sounded worried.
"Isn't she your boss? She called you like three times yesterday about that meeting."
"Oh yea! Of course! Sorry, I was zoning out. I'll be just a moment." His voice was hesitant. He quickly snatched the phone, and stepped out of the apartment.
After a few minutes, Rob came back in. "Sorry everybody. This meeting is catching everybody off guard at the office."
I wasn't convinced Rob was caught up in a meeting. This month was usually a slow month for his company, and he never got invited to meetings. I had to believe him though.
Once Alura left, I put Caressa in her bed, and crawled into bed with Rob. We sat watching TV together for a few hours. We fell asleep while watching 'I Love Lucy'.
I sat up suddenly in my bed and felt a sharp pain, not in my head, but in stomach. I didn't want to wake Rob, so I tried to ignore it as much as I could. A few seconds later another wave of pain went through my stomach. I just assumed it might be that time of the month, but this pain was different.
After about 30 minutes, I woke Rob up. "Rob, wake up." I said with a sweet voice.
"What is it? What's wrong?" He said with his sleepy voice. Hearing him speak made me feel better already, because when he was tired his voice sounded so rough and, well, sexy.
"Honey, my stomach is bothering me. The doctor said to come in anytime I felt some pain anywhere. Because a brain surgery can affect everything. Can we go right now? To make sure everything's fine?"
"Yea, of course we can." He picked up his phone, and it said it was 5:15. "I'll go grab Caressa, and you can pack some stuff you want to bring with you to the hospital. Everything will be fine sweetie." He made me feel more calm about the situation.
I grabbed my laptop, magazines, and some clothes. We and gone through this situation before when I started getting a bad headache a few weeks ago. I becoming a pro. Which, on this situation, wasn't something to be proud of.
After I got checked into the hospital, my regular doctor came in.
"Hello Helga. It says your stomach has been bothering you. We're going to run a couple tests and I'll give you news as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
Rob wasn't allowed into the room while I was having tests done. I had a few blood tests, I nada urinal tests, and surprisingly a mental test. They asked me questions to make sure my brain was functioning correctly.
That night the doctor came in with a clipboard. He had a huge smile on his face.
"Helga, I have some great news. You're pregnant!"
Hi guys! MORE drama is in for the next chapter! Keep reviewing! Xxxxxxoooooo
