Emily narrates:
I find myself in the doctor's examination room, and when I see him in person, I'm completely stunned. Wow, this man is handsome. I smile like an idiot and understand why Peyton chooses to see him.
"Mrs. Emily, it's a pleasure to meet you. How can I assist you?" he asks, smiling and shaking my hand.
"Thank you. Well, I came here for a complete check-up. I haven't been keeping up with regular check-ups due to lack of time, and I want to see how I'm doing," I respond with a smile on my lips.
"I understand. I'll ask you some questions to get a better understanding of your medical history," he says, starting to inquire about intimate details.
After answering everything, he examines me and finds everything to be in order. However, he gives me a prescription for blood tests to evaluate my overall health.
"Alright, when you have the results from these tests, come and see me for a follow-up, free of charge," he informs me.
I nod and contemplate what to say. Ultimately, I decide not to hint at anything, as he seems to be quite professional so far. Besides, with the tests, I have the perfect excuse to return as soon as possible. I plan to have the tests done tomorrow or today, depending on whether fasting is required.
"We'll meet again with the results. Thank you for your attention," I bid farewell as I stand up from the chair.
"You're welcome. See you at your next appointment," he says, winking at me.
I blush and leave the consultation room with a face as red as a tomato. God! What a man! Enough of that. I scold myself and refocus on the pending plan. I schedule an appointment for the tests the following day and learn that it will take two days to receive the results.
Peyton narrates:
Since Mason's mother left, I'm concentrating on talking to the doctor, I have to coordinate the visit I have with him, because Mason wants to go, and my doctor has to say what I tell him so I can live my pregnancy calmly and not have to work.
About Emily's visit, I don't believe her at all, what's this about her wanting to make a relationship with me? Ha! I'm not that naive, even less so when he commented to the nurse that I warned him about what I needed, that was too much interest after having none in me. I'm not a fool who is going to take his words at his word, less so when I know he adored Paige.
Luckily, I have Camila's loyalty, she will be my ally against Mason's family, since her mother is investigating about me, she must not be the only one.
I arrange everything with the doctor and let Mason know that we have an appointment tomorrow to see our son.
I find myself thinking about what he might say about bed rest, I'm tired of being in bed, but at the same time I don't want to work. Ash! How hard this all is, I sigh frustrated at the whole situation.
If Mason hadn't fallen in love with that woman he had as a wife in those years everything would be different, we would be happy and in love counting the days to be together as it always should have been.
Little details that make the difference between couples.
All for that damn woman, who I hope he never has to see again in his life, the farther away the better. Besides, that when our son is born, he will forget that broad.
By the time we are a family everything will be wonderful, I will have everything I deserve and enjoy the money I should have always had.
That thought reminds me of my "in-law's" questions all that interest in my family is because she suspects my interest in Mason's money, obviously I will always be dignified and deny this fact until the day I die, my love for Mason is the only thing I want to receive from him.
I made up a quick answer, he has no reason to meet my parents, they are only going to embarrass me in front of my future husband, they have no spirit of self-improvement. They are content with what they have and are not ambitious like me.
Something I never understood, although they have always given me, better said, they gave me what I asked for there were times when they did not have the money to pay for my tastes, in those moments my father, who is the only one I love of the two, would stop paying bills in order to give me what I asked for. Sometimes he works from Monday to Sunday to have money for everything, but those are the consequences of having children, giving them everything they deserve, and I deserve heaven and earth. I deserve to live surrounded by wealth and luxuries, to which my beauty is equal.
Sometimes I wonder who in my family I have to thank for my beauty, my body logically I have earned it with exercises since I was a child, but my natural beauty I don't know who I get it from, I don't look anything like my parents. That's a question I've been asking myself for years when I started to become aware of things.
Ever since I left my parents' home, I've been on my own to make a living for myself, and I've never managed to do it, until now. Mason is the man destiny had in store for me, to give me everything I ever deserved to have in my life.
I never spoke to them again, at least in the last few years, since I left on my trip, I don't know anything about them, my mother dared to tell me that I was one of those women who sells her body, she didn't understand how I managed to travel without having a job or money. I didn't tell her about Mason, which would have only added to her theory about the money to support me on the trip and pay for school. I remember like it was yesterday what he said to me when he saw me leaving with the suitcase of my clothes from his house.
"If you leave this house now you will be dead to us."
Those were the last words I heard from my parents, I never saw them again and I don't plan to see them again, they are just a hindrance in my life.
