ACK! My first reviews! When I read them I just about died and went to heaven. I didn't fall asleep for like another 2 hours! ANYWAY…. Here is chapter 2!
Chapter 2
I woke up the next morning feeling horrible. Dried tears cover my cheeks and my makeup was smeared everywhere. I ran to the bathroom and barfed my guts out. I hovered over the toilet bowl wishing that Zach was here. His big, warm strong hands caressing my back as I heaved into the toilet. But No, he was gone. Somewhere on the other side of the world.
I jumped in the shower and washed yesterday away.
Before leaving I stuffed handfuls of Peanut Butter Ritz Bits in my mouth. I grabbed my purse and ran out the door, already late.
Finally I walked into the CIA headquarters. As I identified myself I thought now that I was pregnant I had to get a job that was not a field job. They probably wouldn't let me work a field job anymore. I plopped down at my desk. "Hey Cam." Bex said coming up to my desk. "Hey Bex." I said tiredly. "You look horrible." "Thanks." I ran my fingers under my eyes. "Ok, what's wrong?" she said sitting on the edge of my desk. "Nothing's wrong." I said bending down the best I could. Bex gave me her signature look. "Fine, Zach left yesterday for a mission." I said. "So? He goes on missions all the time." Bex said. "Well I had something to tell him." I said looking down at my stomach.
Bex twisted her engagement ring around her finger as she now did when she needed something to do with her hands. "Can you tell me what you had to tell Zach?" She asked. I got up. "Bex, Zach's the first one that need to know this." I said walking towards the staff room. Bex followed.
"Cam." She said. I turn to her while looking through the fridge. "What?" I snapped. "Please?" I shook my head.
"Ok than go out to dinner with me, Liz and Macey tonight." She asked. "Sure." I said.
For dinner Macey told me to wear something nice. This meant fancy dinner. This also meant rich food. Equaling heartburn and barfing till odd hours of the morning.
I slid on a loose pale blue dress that covers up my baby bump very well. I fix my makeup so it doesn't look like I was dying from loss of sleep.
Bex, Liz and Macey picked me up at 7. "CAMMIE!" Liz said throwing her arms around me as I climbed in the car. "Hey Liz." I said. Bex was watching me. She suspected something.
I smiled at her and tried to act like myself, but the entire time I felt like barfing and falling asleep at the same time. We pulled up to an Italian restaurant. Oh No. Not Italian. I put my hand on my stomach as if I had already eaten. "Cam? Are you Ok?" Macey asked. "Oh. Yea. I'm just going to the bathroom."
"Did you find out what's wrong with her?" Liz said as they took a table while Cammie was in the bathroom. "No but we have our possibility's." Bex said. Macey looked over the cocktail list. "Well she's never really missed Zach when he goes on missions so I really can't be that." Liz said. Macey put down the cocktail list. "Liz, this is easy. Has Cammie seemed different to you at all the past three months?" Liz thought for a moment. "Well she has been eating a lot, going to the bathroom a lot and looks as if she has gained weight. Don't you dare tell her I just called her fat."
"Just called me what?" Cammie said coming up behind them. "Nothing." Liz said a little too fast. Cammie rolled her eyes. She looked like she was in a bad mood. Macey held up four fingers.
"So Cammie when are you going to come out and tell us?" Macy said, digging for info. "Tell you what?" Cammie said, looking at her menu. Macy was about to answer. "May I get you ladies anything to drink?" Came the voice of their waiter.
"Yes. I will have your spiked strawberry iced tea, please." Liz said. "Brazilian Martini." Bex said. "Chocolate velvet, please." Macey said. "I'll just have water." Cammie said. The waiter nodded and walked away.
The others looked at Cammie. She never turned down alcohol when she got the chance to have it. "Cammie. We will start suspecting thing if you don't tell us. We already have an idea. First you have been eating a lot more, you seem to go to the bathroom a lot and now you turn down Alcohol. You have some explaining to do missy." Bex said. Cammie looked down at her lap. She muttered something.
"What?" Liz asked. "I told you Bex, Zach had to be the first on to know." Cammie said. "Cammie. By now all three of us have figured out you are pregnant. Really Cammie. You couldn't hide it for that long." Macey said. "Well I was going to tell Zach first. But he left. So I was going to wait until he gets back next week." Cammie said tearing up.
"Aw, Cammie. It's ok. Zach will be back next week so you can tell him." Liz said, hugging her friend. They ordered their food. Cammie's moods lighten considerably during the night.
By the time I was dropped off at home, I felt better about the baby inside me. So I treated the baby to a homemade chocolate caramel milkshake.
And thanks again for the reviews! More are welcomed with grace and happy dances around my room in the dead of night! Now what should the gender be? It's about time Cammie had an ultrasound so she can know? Go to my profile and VOTE NOW! And I'm also taking name suggestions. Ideas for chapter three are floating across my mind!
