Olivia's P.O.V.

Four weeks Later...

“It's been four weeks since my fight with both Hailey and David. Four weeks since I've contacted my dad and four weeks since my very first one night stand with Alex which has surprisingly left me emotionally drained.

“The strangest thing of it all is that, I've suddenly developed some strange traits, maybe it's the stress or the mental turmoil. Or I could be hallucinating but all the signs I've experienced so far is making think otherwise. That maybe am not crazy and maybe I should probably concentrate on why this things are happening.

“I've noticed something about myself, I've been strangely sensitive to both food and anything greasy. At first I thought it's all because am in a new environment and that am not adjust well so its taking a toll on me physically.

“But my mind screams otherwise,My brain keeps pointing at something I should be concerned about but my mind refuse to dwell there. A part of me silently hope and pray it's not what I think it is.

“Although a little voice in my head tell me to look at the bigger picture. One thing I'm aware of,  is that am quiet delaying the inevitable and it's something I can't stop since it's been done already, I know am just deceiving myself as a type of reassurance that my life isn't just about to Change. I know am just trying to hang on a thread to think that I still have that strong grip in my life.

“But it seems am wrong, Because images of that very night between me and Alex replays vividly in my mind over and over again and in all that unfolds their was definitely no part where we used protection.

“My hands shake repeatedly as I stare down at the pregnancy test in my hand which am about to take. I bought up to like three packs just to be sure of the correct result. I need to clear up my suspicions, to be sure if what I suspect is right, have been putting off this moment and now that I've finally admitted that theirs something off with me buying a pregnancy test is just the first step. But deciding to face the truth and reality is going to be quite hard, but am “Olivia Dane a successful entrepreneur" and I indeed to take everything in stride.

“I've been feeling nausea and throwing up every morning. I can barely choke down anything. Most of the time, it's the smell of the food that puts me off  anything greasy , fishy and oily makes me throw up, and I haven't seen my Menses which I was supposed to see.

“How stupid of me, I should have seen this coming, because now that I think about it Everytime I remember my night together with Alex. I remember we didn't use any protection which is quite stupid on my part and also irresponsible of me.

“Secondly, I'm not a busty person but now looking at the mirror I could see my breast has gotten a bit bigger and swollen and my nipples extremely sensitive to touch.

It would be quiet stupid of me to Ignore this signs now because even a high school student would know this are signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

“Going into the bathroom, I did the necessary stuff as the instructions say on the pregnancy test. I then went to my room to wait for the results, and for the first time in my life I experienced a feeling I quiet detest "Fear".

“Am I responsible enough to take care of a baby?"I thought.

“A little life dependent on just me”I thought as fear begins to cloud mind.

“Can I really do this alone?

“What am I going to tell my Dad or Mom?”I sigh out worriedly chewing my lips nervously.

“When it was time to check the results( 30 minutes later)”I hesitated not knowing what to do as I hesitated outside the bathroom door.

“I need to do this”I whisper, as I turn the doorknob open picking up the pregnancy test. I then saw the two pink lines which means positive.

No!

“I check the other sticks panicking, and it all screamed:

“Positive!

A freaking Positive!

“Don't get me wrong it's not like having a baby is like a crime or something, but it's just I never planned to have a child out of wedlock”I thought loudly, as I drop the test into the sink stepping out of the bathroom into the bedroom flopping on my bed .

“Seems change is imminent”I say out loudly.

For instance, like having sex with a gorgeous stranger!

“And a surprise Baby!

“Its not that I don't love children, I do. I mean I love children so much, But I never imagined that I'd conceive my baby out of wedlock with just a one night stand and to top it all it was with a totally handsome stranger. A stranger I know nothing about except his name. Then the words I said to Alex comes rushing to my mind like a slap.

"I guess am not one of the lucky ones who get away with one night stands then..”I say screaming out fustratedly, laughing at how my very words came to bite me back in my ass.

“All this happened because of my  reckless decision!

“The pregnancy test confirms everything and a baby can't be hidden forever because later on everyone will have to see the large baby bump. I've also got to tell mom, pretty sure she'll be freaked out.

“Although have enjoyed the time I've spent with her, but I know I can't shut her out for long.

“Curling up in a ball with my face on my knees resting on the bed. I can't let Alexanda know about this even if it's the last the I do, placing my hands on my still flat tummy I then whisper

“Don't worry I'll take good care of you. Mommy loves you little”I say cooing, surprised at how well am taking the news without breaking down mentally.

“Maybe having this baby isn't so bad after all. Maybe taking care of this baby is my new goal and mission in life. You know at first, after my failed engagement with David I thought I had lost my purpose but now I have a new one.

“A little child to depend on me”I thought smiling.

“I suddenly feel all nervous and excited at the same time. Am I freaking out? yes I am. But on the other hand maybe this is what I need right now to give me the zeal to start living again.

“Hi cupcake, You in?”My Mom calls out knocking on my bedroom door.

“Mom, Come in”I say sitting up straight.

“Just then she steps in coming to sit beside me, the bed dipping with her weight on it as she sits.

“Cupcake, hope you're doing Okay?”She ask with a look of concern on his face.

“I'm Fine Mom”I say smiling...

“Are you sure we don't have to go to the hospital?”She asks ...

“About that, there's something really important I want to tell you”I said waving my hands and laughing shakily not trusting what I should do.

“Finally, have been waiting for you to say something. You've been acting really strange and jittery lately.”She says...

“What is it?"she asks looking worried.

“Mom I think am pregnant”I say, deciding to be up front about it instead of beating around the bush as my heart keeps on beating really fast...

“You're what?”She says stuttering

“Pregnant”I say speaking a bit loudly..

“How?”She asks with a look of shock and worry on her face.

“When?”She asks with a look of surprise and shock written on her face.

“Just confirmed today with a pregnancy test and David is definitely not the father that's all am going to say for now”I say, a little nervous.

“Baby, that's ...” She says with a tearful look on her face as she pulls me in for a hug.

“I suspected something like this. But I wasn't too sure either, you were sick especially with you throwing up and being sensitive to smell. I didn't really want to believe you were pregnant”She says..

“How did this happen?She asks.

“I don't really want to talk about it”I say exhaling and taking a deep breath.

“Listen young lady you don't just wake up in the morning and drop a bomb like this, telling me that you're pregnant without disclosing who the father is”She says grimacing.

“Am confused you just got here, how are you pregnant when you don't even know anybody her”She says with a sceptical look on her face.

“I guess Mom does deserves more”I thought, so I told her everything except for his name of course, I don't want him being dragged into this mess.

“So are you going to tell me who the baby's father is?”She asks tentatively.

“No”I say...

“I don't want to involve Alex into this”I say vehemently .

“So that's his name? She says with a curious look on her face.

“Yes and am not going further”I say stepping down from the bed as I paced back and forth.

“You know the father deserve a right to know about this. Don't you? She says softly.

“Its wrong, I know that. But am confused”I say to her.

“Fine, do whatever you think is best and remember am your Mother. I'll always support, you can continue staying here that's no problem. And congratulations darling ”She suddenly says with an excited tone.

“I breath out a sound of relief as I rush into her arms laughing and crying. It hurts a lot but I'm thankful I don't have to go through this alone.

“Thanks Mom”I says as I hug her tightly.

“You're the best, Thanks for not judging me”I say sniffing.

You're going to be the best single mom ever, and I'll be with all the way" she says
