1766words
I frown, and then open my eyes in irritation and as I follow the voices I see my husband throwing all the clothes out of the wardrobe, I blink again, thinking this is a dream but as my eyes meet with my husband's cold gaze I realize that he is really here.
F**k…
"You're back?" I sit up and exclaim in complete shock.
"Where the hell is my blue shirt, I can't find it." He ignores my question and growls.
I feel shocked by his rude behavior but still, I get up from the bed and start helping him, he looks mad, I don't know if it's because of the shirt or my stupid behavior last night.
F**k, last night I gave him my back, how could you be so stupid, Tess.
"When did you come back?" I ask lightly pretending to find the shirt while from the corner of my eyes I was secretly watching him. "Huh, do you care?" He asks back, displeasure written all over his face.
I frown, the coldness in his voice gives me chills down my spine. "You should have informed me, first." I mumble under my breath and he raises his brow at me, "Didn't I?"
"What? You didn't…" I tell him firmly and he rolls his eyes in response, "Are you giving me the shirt or not?" He asks and I quickly pull his shirt out from the mess he had made inside the wardrobe.
"Here." And I hand him with a bitter face. He pulls it away rudely and suddenly there is this weird smell in the atmosphere that made me retch and I immediately run into the washroom while pushing away my husband.
I throw up badly, not once but three times, and then finally when all the strength was squeezed out from me, the vomit stops but I am unable to move now. I pull my knees closer to my chest and rest my chin on my knees.
I am so weak, I am not able to even move how am I supposed to take a bath now?
Taking a few deep breaths, I try to stand with the remaining strength left inside me, but as I put my weight on my feet I was unable to stay stable and I stumble and then fall.
"Ahhh…"
A low cry escapes from my mouth and before I would hit the ground, I was caught by my husband on time, thankfully.
"What is wrong with you?" He asks, his face looking anxious all the coldness and rudeness before seems to fade and I smile as I look at his concern.
"I am feeling weak, that's all," I tell him weakly and then he picks me up as he strides out of the washroom and then places me on the bed. "You have lost weight." He says as he stands up and then looks at me intently.
I look up at him and this is the time that I realize that he too looks miserable just like me, he has got dark circles, his face looks thinner and he has got stubble now.
"You too have lost some weight," I tell him.
"I'll call Miss Celine to help you." He says and then walks to the phone to call but I hold his hand weakly making him stop.
"Why can't you help me?" I ask him and he frowns.
"We'll talk about this later. Ann is waiting for me downstairs and I need to go." Saying this, he pulls away his hand from my grip and calls Miss Celine, "Hello, Yes, come up and help her. She isn't looking good, yeah… Anything that will make her reach the dining table."
Andrew ends the call and then turns to me, "She will be here in a minute." And with that, he storms out of the room making me stunned.
I sigh in disappointment and after a few minutes, Miss Celine enters with a glass of fresh orange juice for me. "Good Morning, Miss. Andrew Sir has told me that you are not feeling well."
"Yeah, just weakness," I tell her and she hands me the glass of fresh orange juice to drink. I take it from her hand politely and then start taking sips of it slowly.
"Miss Celine, when did Andrew arrive?" I ask her, curiously.
"Last night…" Miss Celine informs.
"Last night, then why did nobody inform me?" I ask, angrily.
"Miss Swan did inform you, Miss." She says and I frown deeply, "No, Ann didn't see me for the whole day, remember?" I remind her and she looks at me blankly for a moment before she corrects me, "She has texted you, Miss. Your phone…" She points at my phone and I immediately pick it up.
I start checking my messages and there was indeed a message from Ann but it came after midnight and I usually sleep after 10 so how am I supposed to see the message?
F**k… I curse myself multiple times so now I understand why Andrew has been behaving rudely and indifferent to me. He even asked me last night why I didn't wait for him.
Such a fool, Tess, you are.
I had been waiting for him so long and when finally he returned I was sleeping here like a log instead of welcoming him with a charming smile on my face.
He must have been expecting me to wait for him.
Sigh…
After drinking the orange juice I feel good and I was able to stand and change my clothes, I skip the bath today because I didn't have the strength for it at all. I walk down and see Ann and Andrew sitting at the table, they immediately shut their mouth as they see me coming over.
I greet Ann politely and then sit beside my husband, I feel happy, warm, and blessed that my husband is back but there is a pang of guilt too as things didn't go as I had planned for him.
He keeps glancing at me from time to time but didn't say anything. I think he just noticed my hair. Miss Celine asks for the breakfast and I make a request for a light porridge, she brings me the bowl of porridge and after a few spoons again I feel retch and open my mouth to throw up but nothing came.
It was a false alarm I guess but Ann and Andrew notice my weird act and then Andrew speaks displeased, "That's it, you're going for a check-up, now."
He looks damn serious and I look at Ann for help, "Tessa, dear, Andrew is right it's been multiple days you are showing the signs of sickness, we must take you to the hospital for a check-up." Ann says softly.
And I want to protest when my husband suddenly interrupts, "A few days? How many days is it she has been sick?" He asks Ann, his voice getting loud, and then he looks at me with a raised brow. I gulp down in fear as I look at his stern gaze on me.
"Andrew, I'll take her to the hospital. You go to your work." Ann comes to my rescue and Andrew nods his head but his gaze is still fixed on me. Reluctantly, he leaves the table and I sigh in relief.
"Thanks, Ann." I mutter a small "Thank You." quickly.
"Don't worry, he will be fine," Ann says calmly and I nod in response.
****
"How long it's been since you are throwing up?" The doctor asks.
"A week, I guess," I tell her.
"Ok, let's do some tests and soon we will be able to find out the problem." She says politely giving me an assuring smile and then she draws my blood and takes my urine for a test.
I sit in the waiting area for a long time when finally Ann emerges from the room and I stand up anxiously, "What happened to me, Ann?" I hold her hand and ask with a worried face.
My heartbeat is dropping with each second, I don't understand why she took such a long time. Is it a really huge disease? Or something I should be very worried about?
"Let's talk about it at dinner," Ann tells me, and then she drops me at the mansion and drives away.
I walk back with a perplexed mind I don't know what to expect at dinner time. My heart was restless until the time comes for the dinner. We all sit together and Ann looks calm while my husband is anxious.
I wait patiently for Ann to announce the news of my health and finally she did.
"There is something I would like to tell both of you," She says and then pauses, I hold the corner of my dress feeling stressed, my heart starts thumping and I look at her with a face full of fear when she finally reveals, "Tessa is pregnant…"
BOOM
"What?" I gasp, surprise while my husband looks completely shocked, "What?"
I and Ann both look at him in unison, because he was too loud and he looks unhappy too.
"Just today, It gets confirmed tomorrow we would have an ultrasound and then we will see how far she is," Ann says with a huge smile and I smile back at her.
I am so happy I feel like I am on the ninth cloud, Miss Celine brings me the food and I frown looking at it and Ann notices it, "Dear, the freedom is finished now you have to follow a strict diet from now on after all I want my nephew to be healthy and active."
I blush from her words, and then nodding my head I pick the cutlery and start eating my dinner and as I glance towards my husband I could see that he has barely touched his food.
He leaves the table before me and Ann and disappears into his study, I wonder why?
Is he unhappy that I got pregnant so fast? Or is he still angry about my last night's behavior? Whatever it is, I need to go and explain things to him. I can't let this happy and blissful moment go to waste. I want to celebrate it with my husband with all my heart.
