chapter 11
After visiting Arnold, she spent the rest of the day doing errands, cooked and went to bed early. Today Helga was preparing her stuff for the meeting tomorrow with Mr. Davis; she made sure all her work was in her folder, she called Phoebe to make sure she is there by eleven in the morning since Mr. Davis hate tardiness. Once she was done she went to closet to see what outfit she should put on but after literally trying on so many clothes neither of them fit or they were snug against her, so Helga had no choice but to go shopping for maternity clothes. She grabbed her keys, purse and was out the door; she went to a local mall that was near her sister house. Helga came across a store name "Mommy Embrace" (that is a real store it in the mall where I am from) deciding to pop in there to see what they have. After couple of minutes Helga couldn't find what she liked, as she about to leave but something caught her eye a pink dress with a red bow around the waist. She grabbed the dress and took it to the dressing room to put it on, when she looked at the mirror she saw how the dress made it to her knees, gave a picture shape of her belly, and the material was perfect since it didn't feel like she was being squeezed. She knew this would be perfect to wear for the meeting tomorrow. Helga paid for the dress which was a good price; she popped into couple of stores and bought a few outfits. Upon arriving home she heard her cell phone ringing and it was Olga who is calling her.
"Hello"
"Hey baby sis how are you?"
"I am good just trying to run to the bathroom since the baby thinks my bladder is a ball."
"Ha-ha oh baby sis, you will be fine."
Helga was a little irritated with Olga, since she felt she was being made fun of.
"Baby sis do not be upset it normal, I see your moods is coming in already." Said Olga
"Whatever, is there a reason for your call?" asked Helga
"Oh yes, as you know we are coming home on Saturday morning but the kids want to make a stop first so we won't be home till late at night. The reason I am telling you this is cause one I don't want you to worry and two mommy maybe passing by to drop off the kid's school supplies since they have school on Monday. And Sunday we were planning to stay home and rest. And I am hoping you can stay home and wait for her?" said Olga
Helga was not pleased with the idea since she had not seen her mom six years. She was not sure what to do? After debating for a few minutes Helga agreed to wait for Miriam to drop off the school supplies.
"Now baby sis try to be nice to her and try not let your moods get the best of you." Said Olga
"I am not making promises but I will try, okay Olga I have to go and get ready for my meeting tomorrow."
"Okay baby sis good luck, love you."
"Thanks and love you too Olga."
Helga hung up the phone, she was a little nervous with Miriam visiting even it's a short while. She doesn't know how she going to react when she sees her but she is hoping to relax and not break down. For the rest of the day, Helga spent lounging around and going over her book one more time.

Arnold was exhausted by the time he got home; he felt he had not slept in years that how tired he was. Meets after meets all they talked about new treatments, new medicines and interns that are coming in, he thanks God he is off tomorrow. Arnold took a long shower, order some food and just hang around the house, but his mind kept wondering to Helga; he kept thinking how was her day?, what she doing right now? He kept thinking about her, he really misses her but he couldn't just force her to come back he started thinking than an idea struck him. He took out his cell phone called the one person he can count on.
"Hey Gerald I need a huge favor are you available tomorrow?...Good this is what I have planned…."
Arnold spent the rest of the night talking to Gerald, making plans on how they can pull this off.

Helga didn't remember what time she fell asleep but she remember waking up and running to the bathroom. She took a shower and brushed her teeth, Helga put on the dress she bought yesterday, put her hair in a ponytail, put on heels and light make up. When Helga looked at the time she saw it was ten-forty-five she headed out the door and try to make it before eleven. Helga made it to the office right on time it was like the universe was making sure she was having a good day. When she walked in the office of Mr. Davis she saw Phoebe sitting on the chair, when she looked up she saw how Phoebe eyes went wide.
"Oh my Helga you look beautiful and I got to say professional as well."
"Thank you Phoebe but I have to say you look beautiful as well."
"Thank you but look how your dress fits and it shows your little bump (she put her hand on Helga bump) awe can you feel it move it?" asked Phoebe
"Yes, usually the baby active at night and during the day it sleeps." Answered Helga
"Oh wow, that must be amazing to feel."
"It is Pheebs."
"Morning ladies."
The two women turn to see Ms. Johns walking to her desk with coffee cup in her hands.
"Morning Ms. Johns" Both women said.
"Oh my Helga….OH I knew it!"
Helga looked at Mr. Davis secretary with wide eyes and asked "You knew what?"
"I knew you were pregnant." Answered Ms. Johns
"You did? How?" asked Phoebe
"As a mother of four children a women knows when someone is expecting. Also you had this glow and your body was changing little by little so I knew right there then."
"How come you didn't tell me?" asked Helga
"Sweet heart you have to find out on your own, because if I was wrong I didn't want to upset you and what better finding out on your own or me telling you?"
"Well that is true."
"So are you excited? Is Arnold excited?"
"Yes I am Ms. Johns I love this baby already and Arnold is excited he makes sure I am okay." Helga put on a fake smile.
"I am glad, when do you find out the sex of the baby?"
"I have an appointment in two weeks, after Rhonda baby shower."
"Oh yes I wrote down the days you won't be here which is September 8-11 which is correct?"
"Yes and can you add the 14th as well that my appointment date."
"Okay that is good to know, okay Mr. Davis is ready for you ladies just step in."
"Thanks have a nice day." Both women said.
As the two women stepped in the office they found Mr. Davis on the phone talking to one of his other clients, he notice the girls and with a hand gesture told the girls to wait one minute. Both girls nodded and took a seat on the couch. Hanging up the phone, Mr. Davis gets up from the chair and walked up to the girls
"Morning ladies, sorry for the delay." Said Mr. Davis
"That is fine, how was California?" said Helga
"Oh it was fine, love the weather but I miss here and I have to say Ms. Shortman you have changed."
"Well it not like I had a choice." Helga blush a little.
"I am glad, I love when my clients are starting a family of their own and it's the best thing that can happen. And Ms. Johnson when you going to start?"
"Hopefully soon, Mr. Davis." answered Phoebe
"I hope so to, now enough with family talk we need to get down to business. Helga did you finish the three chapters?"
"Yes I did" Helga handed him the folder.
"Perfect, Phoebe did you read over the contract?"
"Yes I did and everything is in order we both signed it." Phoebe handed the contract.
"Okay that is done, now things usually are the same but now we have to do things differently."
"What do you mean?" asked Helga
"How far along are you Helga?"
"I am three months entering four, why?" asked Helga
"Well talk shows and radio shows want to interview you for your upcoming story, place like California, Texas and other states that require traveling. I know towards the six months you can't do as much and also depends on what the doctor say as well. So I am thinking to fly you off the weeks of 21-31. So basically ten days in California and have the other trips shorter. As for the ones near her we can send you by car."
"Well I agree on that Helga condition is sensitive, it known that certain airlines have the fear of perimeter births. So it would be best."
"Yes Phoebe the reason I wanted you here is because I also have another client that has events going on as well. So I cannot be two places as once and this client is new so I have to be at most events to get her name out there. So I want you take my place is that possible?" Asked Mr. Davis
"Yes I can, I will be with Helga while in California." Answered Phoebe
"That is wonderful and also I am sending Frankie as security just to keep you girls safe even though there will be other law enforcement there. Now for Texas it not a big stay you will be there for five days basically October first to the fifth. I will be there since we are having an event of new releases so a lot of authors will be there and critics I am pretty sure Helga you remember in your first year."
"Oh yea I remember they are like wolves, they love the smell of fresh meat; well not all of them some of them were very sweet to me and helpful." Said Helga
"Okay after Texas we will be heading to Atlanta, GA there will be a women conference and you will talk about the book and talk about finding love, keep on holding on to hope and etc. I will be there as well it's a two day stay Oct. sixth and seventh. After that we will head to Philly, Pa. that will be a four day stay I won't be there but Phoebe will be I assume. After that we send you home have a three days rest than head to New York City for 15 days as you know Wizard World is three days than the New York times awards which you know you are nominee for three categories best author, best book of the year, and best romance book as well. Once the awards are done we have a meeting with a dictator who want to make a movie of your books. So all of us have to be there; lastly since NY is a big deal is there a chance your husband joining us there?"
Helga chest tightened obviously she didn't tell him anything so she put on a smile.
"Not sure I will ask him."
"Alright the dates are Oct. 13-28 alright ladies."
Both women nodded
"Oh Helga I am so sorry but I have to ask are you going to announce your pregnancy?"
"Oh I am not sure and I know once we leave I will be showing, hum let me talk to Arnold and I will call you and we will set up an interview or something okay."
"That is fine. Alright ladies I have another meeting in an hour Helga let me know if anything changes and keep up the good work I want this book publish before your baby is born."
"Alright Mr. Davis, thank you and have a nice day." Helga gave her editor a hug and was out the door. She said good bye to Ms. Johns and was in the elevator with Phoebe. She was in a little daze just thinking on all the things that has to be done.
"Helga are you okay?" asked Phoebe
"Yea just wondering where to start?"
"Okay well let's take one step at a time. Since you have your doctor appointment soon you can mention to the doctor on the upcoming travels."
"I got that Pheebs but I am thinking about Arnold situation will he come or he won't even show up?"
"Helga you need to talk to him why not call him tomorrow since it been a long day?"
"No tomorrow is no good, think I will talk to him on Sunday since we are going to buy Rhonda a baby shower gift, by the way what are you buying her?" asked Helga.
"I have no idea, I guess when I go with Gerald I see what I will find."
Helga was about to say something until she heard her phone ringing. She looked at the screen it was Dr. Larry her Gby/on .
"Hold on Pheebs, I got to take this; hello"
"Good evening Ms. Shortman, how are you?"
"Hello Doc, I am doing well just sleeping a lot, swollen feet and all the works; is everything okay?"
"Oh yes, the reason I called is I know I schedule you for September 14th but sadly I have an convention to go to but lucky I have a cancelation on the fourth at the same time, what do you say? You want to take it?" asked Dr. Larry.
"Yes, that is wonderful; thank you so much I will see you on Tuesday." Helga hung up the phone, she have the biggest smile on her face.
"Well what is going on?"
For a minute, Helga forgot Phoebe was still there
"Oh Pheebs, on Tuesday I am going to find out the sex of my baby."
"OH my goodness, I am so excited for you and that perfect since it's before Rhonda baby shower."
"That is so true; uhm just let me call Arnold to let him know that change of plans. Hold on."
Helga dialed Arnold number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello"
"Hey Arnold it's me Helga."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes everything is fine, is just it been a change of plans on the doctor appointment." said Helga
"Oh, what day does it land on?" asked Arnold
"It lands on the up-coming Tuesday, I know you have your meeting with the board but the appointment is at four, do you think you will be able to make it?" asked Helga
There was silence on the line.
"Arnold you there?"
"Yes I am, sorry as soon you told me the date I had Alice to tell Mr. Gonzalez I am leaving early on Tuesday and he said no problem. So I will be there, uhm are we going to find out the sex of the baby?" asked Arnold
"Yes we are, while if the baby let us."
"Wow, I am going to find out if I have to buy a baseball bat if it's a boy or a gun if it's a girl, you know when she get older boys will be knocking on our door or sneaking in."
"Alright Arnold let not get ahead of ourselves, so I will see you on Sunday to buy Rhonda gift."
"Alright, be careful and see you."
Arnold hung up the phone, Helga felt eyes on her, she turned and noticed Phoebe giving her a knowing look.
"What?" asked Helga
"Well I must say you and Arnold are friendly." Phoebe gave her a knowing look.
"Oh Pheebs, we have to be friends cause we are having a baby, I can't be under stress since it not good for the baby, and to be honest he still give me the butterflies, that he use to give me when we were young. But it does not mean we are getting back together, trust me it will take time and I have to see if he really love me and want to work on our marriage." Explained Helga
"Well I understand and I know you love him, I see it in your eyes. I just want to make sure he does not hurt you again." Said Phoebe
"I know, that why I am being careful around him. I am not ready to open my heart and arms to him just yet." Said Helga
"Okay, well enough talking about this subject; let go to Luna's and get some ice cream what do you say?"
"Well okay"
After the girls got their ice cream they went their separate ways, for the rest of the day Helga rested since she was pooped out from the day she had. She order take out and watch a movie. The next thing you know it's Saturday morning and Olga is coming home tonight, Helga hop out of her bed tie her hair in a bun and started breakfast. Today she knows she was going to clean all day, so Olga could come home to a clean house and relax. After four hours of cleaning and doing laundry, it was only two in the afternoon so Helga decided to go grocery shopping to stock the fridge since she ate all the food and make something for them tonight. While at the supermarket, Helga was looking at the different pasta they have, she was trying to figure out which pasta to get ziti or bow tie. She was so in tune until someone broke her concentration.
"Hello again." Said a women voice
Helga turned around and saw…

Obviously there some errors, I only edit it two times and I was in school so I didn't have time. So deal with it, plus I didn't want to delay the chapter any longer. Wondering who did Helga see….you will have to wait and see.
