That's how I became pregnant. I remember coming home after two weeks and then three days later, I was violently sick so Helia took me to a doctor and we found out I was pregnant.
Flashback
"Welcome back guys." Bloom said. We had just gotten back from Melody and as we walked through the gates, we saw the whole gang waiting for us. We spent time hugging and greeting everyone before we left the airport and headed home.
I was sitting with Helia watching a movie when I jumped up and ran towards the bathroom. There I proceeded to throw in the toilet.
"Flora are you alright?" Helia pulled my hair away from my face.
"I don't know. Five minutes ago I was fine but just now."
"Maybe you should see a doctor."
"Helia, I'm fine. See all-"
"Flora, you're not well. I'm taking to the Hospital." I lifted my head. The worst of the sickness was gone for now but I was sure it would be back. Helia helped me up and we took a portal to the Hospital.
"Flora?" We rose from our seats and followed the doctor into his office.
"So what seems to be the problem?"
"We don't exactly know. Flora was fine but then she dashed off towards the bathroom and vomited into the toilet. It was very sudden."
"Hmm. I hope you don't mind my asking but have interacted in any sexual activities lately?"
"You think that I could be pregnant?" I asked
"Yes. The most known symptom of pregnancy is morning sickness. Many women will feel fine one moment and then violently throw up the next. If you like, I can test you to see if you are."
"Yes please."
Twenty minutes later, the man came back with a folder in his hand. I sat on the lounge chair holding Helia's hand. Part of me didn't want to be pregnant because we only just got married and we weren't ready to raise a child. But another part of me was excited because I would become a mother. I had always wanted my own family.
"So am I pregnant?"
"Yes, as I predicted, you are pregnant at two weeks. Would you like to know the gender of the baby?" I looked up at Helia and shook his head. I was glad he didn't want to. I wanted it to be a surprise as well
"We want it to be a surprise."
"That's ok. Well, I would like to see you in another two weeks just to see how you are coming along. You can arrange what day at reception."
"Thank you." I hoped off the lounge chair and walked away with Helia. As soon as we had arranged the date of the next session, we went back home.
"I really can't believe that I'm going to be a father." I walked up to Helia and kissed him.
"I know. And I'm going to be a mother."
End Flashback
Ever since we found out, Helia and I had been shopping and preparing for the baby. And now I was five months away from having my baby. I really wanted to have a girl and so did Helia but back in the deep of my mind, I thought about what it would be like to have a boy.
It had been a three months since my baby shower so I was now seven months along. I was also really starting to show which also meant that I had to buy maternity clothes. I couldn't imagine how big I wold be at nine months. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and my baby was growing at a healthy rate. I couldn't believe that in twelve weeks I was going to be a mum. I hadn't been doing much during those months except staying home as Helia requested while he worked and hanging out with my friends. To gain experience on how to be a mother, I watched my friends more closely with their children. Each fairy was different. Stella spoiled Flynn rotten; however Layla was stern with her daughter, Chloe raising her to be responsible. Not that Stella wasn't doing the same but she never really punished or was angry when Flynn was being troublesome. The doorbell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I answered the door to find Stella and Bloom there. I smiled and hugged them.
"Are you ready?" Stella asked
"Ready for what?" I asked confused. Stella always surprised me like this. She would show up at my door unexpectedly, asking me why I wasn't ready to leave. Then she would proceed to explain where we we're going.
"We are going swimming. Now let's go"
"Stella, you expect me to swim at seven months pregnant." I asked.
"Of course I do. I did. It's very healthy for the baby. Now pack a bag and let's go."
"Alright fine. But I have to notify Helia first. He'll freak out if he comes home and finds me missing."
"No need. I already took care of it. Now hurry up."
We arrived at the community pool and headed towards the Mother's Swim Class. Stella said that she and bloom would be back once the half hour session was over. There were five other pregnant women conversing while they waited in the pool. I slowly slipped in, holding the bar as I walked down the steps. A female instructor came walked into the room and stood to the side of the pool.
"Good Morning ladies. I hope you and your babies are ready to swim. Now first we are going to do some kicking." The women took of her shirt and hopped into the pool with us. I swam over to the other ladies but as I did, I felt a huge pain in my lower abdomen. I looked down to find blood infiltrating the pool and a scream ringing in my ears.
I woke up to find myself in a hospital bed. By my side I saw Helia. He was holding my hand, hanging his head.
"Helia?" I croaked
His head lifted and his eyes opened wide. He leaned in and kissed me, which I returned.
"Helia, what happened?"
"Flora, you went to a Women's swim programme and you lost a lot of blood." His words rigged my memory. I remembered seeing blood flowing out and women screaming.
"The baby. What about the baby?" What if I lost it? Helia would be devastated and so would I.
"They had to perform surgery on you Flora. The baby broke once of your ribs and was choking in your blood. So they cut the baby out. But it's having trouble breathing. The doctors don't know if it will survive." My baby was dying. I had to save it.
"Helia, help me up. I'm going to save my baby."
"Flora, you can't. You need rest. The doctors say there isn't anything you can do."
"I'm a Winx Fairy, Helia. I have helped saved the world from Witches, Wizards, and Evil monsters countless times. I can save my baby and I will if it's the last thing I do." I shot up from the bed and walked past him, out the door. However I didn't make it far without collapsing.
