All that Glitters...
You are 3 months pregnant, Mrs Davis,
Doctor knight said
I stared at the screen to see my little boy or girl with a distant look, I waited for the information to get a reaction out of me, but I felt nothing close to excitement nor sadness.
Mrs Davis, doctor knight called,
I looked up at her with a forced smile, Doctor knight has been my family doctor for years now, she is the only one Will trust me with.
Everything will be fine' she clasped her hand with mine in assurance,
the nurse will take you on for your check up basis, she said while holding my gaze,
I stared at her with watery eyes as the memories resurfaced,
I nod my head in understanding as I placed my hand on my little bump protectively.
I stood up and said my goodbye to doctor Knight, as I walked past the lobby, I got looks from the nurses, looks of pity and sympathy, All the nurses here knew me, I have been a regular patient in this hospital for almost 2 years now.
I walked into the restroom, luckily for me it was empty, I stood in front of the large mirror, set down my purse to splash my face with water, I raised my head up to look at the mirror, no longer is the lady I was 5 years ago, I cannot even find any traces of myself in the lady I am seeing in the mirror. I was a very agile lady, I always have this smile on my face even though my parents were not really well off, I was the only child so I have everything my parents could afford, we made a beautiful home out of our three bedroom flat, I was in my final year in the university of when my parents passed away, their death really affected me that I almost drop out of school if not for my best friend and her family.
Tears stream down my face in reminiscence, I look through my purse for handkerchief to dab my face with, at the same time my phone rings, on seeing the caller i swiped to...
