Chapter 34: Dream

Reyna’s P.O.V 

After cleaning up in the kitchen, I opened my laptop and tried studying. Unfortunately, the anxiousness was eating me up and I could not wait until tomorrow morning. I turned my laptop off since I won’t be able to do any work at all. I made an alarm on my phone before lying down on our bed. I tossed and turned until I fell asleep. I woke up the next day at 5 am to the sound of my alarm. I turned my alarm off and got off the bed slowly to not wake him up.

I went to the bathroom and took out 2 of the pregnancy kits. I read the instructions, then pulled out the stick. I peed on the plastic cup and then poured some of my pee on the stick. I put the cover of the stick back on and placed the test on the sink. I walked back and forth inside the bathroom, then checked the time. It has been only 1 minute. I sat on the toilet seat and waited as I bit my nails. The waiting is driving me crazy. Once the 5 minutes were up, I took the stick from the sink. I was scared to look at it. I am scared of the result.

After gathering enough confidence, I looked at the result. I felt the blood drain from my face. It says positive. I could not believe it. I took out another stick and peed on the stick directly this time. I wanted to make sure. After another 5 minutes, I checked the result, and it was still the same thing - POSITIVE.

I collapsed on our bathroom floor as I was left shocked. How could this happen?

I stayed in bed the whole day. Thankfully, I don’t have any classes today and I am all alone in the apartment. After lunch, I took another test just to see what the result would be. I did the same process, and the result came out the same. I am indeed pregnant. I was so scared. I love kids so much, but I never thought that I would have one of my own this early. 

I have not yet finished studying. I don’t know what my parents would say when they find out that I am pregnant. I don’t even know what he would say when he finds out that I am pregnant.

After collecting my thoughts and pulling myself together, I went for a checkup. I visited an Baron hospital and was told to have an ultrasound. I immediately went and did an ultrasound. As my belly was doing the ultrasound, I saw how little my baby was still. Once the ultrasound was done, she prescribed me pregnancy meds. I was lost in my own thoughts as I walked on my way home. Seeing my baby at the monitor today, she was just the size of a strawberry seed. As I stared at the monitor, all the fear and anxiousness were replaced with love.

I have always heard how pregnancy makes you fall in love with your baby without even seeing them. I have always heard of how amazing it was. I never truly understood it until I saw my baby on that monitor. It gave me courage and wiped all my anxiousness. I felt like I could conquer the world. It was such an amazing feeling.

I got back in the apartment and made dinner. I told him about the baby. I was just finishing cooking when he got back from college. I told him to go freshen up first while I set the table. We talked about how his day was over dinner. When dinner was almost over, I told him the news.

“I have something to tell you.” I blurted out.

“What is it?” he asked.

“I know this is all out of the plan and everything, but I am pregnant.” I confessed, playing with the food that was left on my plate.

There were a few minutes of silence. I was growing more and more anxious as I waited for his reaction. I looked up at him and saw he was shocked.

“Are you serious?” he asked.

I simply nodded. I felt that my voice would betray me if I tried to speak.

What he did next shocked me. He got up from his seat and hugged me. 

“I am so happy! You have no idea.” He exclaimed.

“You are not mad?” I asked.

“Why would I be mad?” he asked.

“Me being pregnant would ruin our plans. We still have 2 years in University. How are we going to raise a child and study?” I explained.

“Baby, relax. We will figure things out, okay? Let’s take this one step at a time. One day at a time.” he replied, hugging me.

We spent the rest of the night planning about our new schedule. He insisted that I should have 9 hours of sleep and he even made a meal plan for me. He said that I need to have enough rest and nutrients for the baby. We also talked about going home on the weekend to tell both our parents about the news. We are just really hoping that they would not be disappointed. But as he said, we will worry about it when it comes. I slept that night with a big smile on my face.

We drove to our parents house. We shared our news to them. But They were so angry and stated complaining and throwing stuff at us. One hit my head I felt pain and wake up to reality then I realised I was dreaming all along.

Thanks Goodness it was a dream. I don't want to loss my scholarship and put my parents in shame.

Not long my phone rang it was River calling. 

River: Hi Babe Are you asleep already. 

Me: Yes, I was have a nightmare. So I wake up.

River: can sleep either. I decided to call you.

Me: Hope all is well? 

River: yes am good just want to hear your sweet voice. 

(Reyna blushed)

Me: wow, thanks babe that was sweet of you. Good night. 

River: Good night. Love you babe.

Me: love you more my love Bye.

I hang up and slept again.
