Chapter 41: Chapter Fourty-One
Olivia
He apologised and promised forever. And I know it's a bit naive of me to believe what he said but I'm blissfully over the moon and i don't care. And so the rest of the day we spend curled up on the comfortable sofa making out like teenagers. We had groceries delivered. I told Jason I was not ready to go back to 'his place's, which started a while new argument.
He was sad that I didn't refer to it as home like I always did and apologised all over again and it was so cute to watch him do all that apologising. He refused to leave, so Monday morning we went to work from my place and returned there after work. Apparently Jason had some of his clothes delivered there while we were at work in case I said we should stay another night and also in case something similar to this happens again.
Wednesday when we were on our way to work, Jason received a call from the good doctor. He said the woman he spoke to said that my results are out but eluded nothing else. So here we are on the way to the doctor instead of work. I'm a bundle of nerves because I don't know what to expect, but Jason is so chilled he's actually on the verge of happy.
I called Julia and told her I'd be late for work, I don't like the fact that I'm getting special treatment just because I'm dating the boss. She didn't even have much of a reaction except for asking if I'm ok. It was as if it was a normal thing for me to do. But I can't talk about it to Jason now because the car just stopped infront of a white wall building.
When we walk in, we're greeted by the sterile smell of medicine and pills. We walk to the reception area and Jason does all the talking while I look around. He pulls me then to a sitting area and I sit.
"The doctor is still seeing to a patient but will be with us as soon as he's done." Jason tells me and I nod but don't say anything further.
"Are you ok? You seem nervous." He asks me taking my hand into his after sitting down.
"I don't know why you're not. I'm more scared than I am nervous." I tell him and he furrows his eyebrows.
"I understand that we've never really spoken about this before, and I jumped the gun in assuming. Baby do you want to have babies?" He is right and i appreciate that he asked me although he's late in asking me, but I appreciate it all the same.
"Of course I do, Jason. It just feels as if this is all going too fast. And you're too relaxed through it all." I tell him truthfully and he nods slowly as if processing my words.
Just when he is about to answer me, Dr Smith comes walking towards us and we stand up and walk towards him and greet him.
"Let's step into my office please." He says and opens the door.
He walks towards behind his desk and takes a seat. He pulls an envelope out of a drawer then hands it to us. "Congratulations, you're about to be parents." He says then and my knees give out from under me. Luckily I'm standing behind the chair and it catches me.
Jason takes the envelope and opens it, reviewing the data on the piece of paper. I don't know how to feel or what to say, but a part of me is excited over the fact that I'm about to be a mother, my hand goes to touch my flat tummy as if I will feel something.
"Ms Willow would you like to get an ultrasound?" Dr Smith asks me.
"Isn't it too early? Actually no don't answer that. No, not now." I say to the doctor but Jason says yes.
"Jason I don't care what you want right now, until my mind has come to terms with these news, there won't be an ultrasound." I say looking him straight in the eyes. I don't know what he see's in them because he just nods his head.
After the doctor gives me an appointment date to come back, we head out to work, with Jason quiet the whole way there. He is not even on his phone, and he is sitting so far away from me. I know he doesn't like the fact that I refused an ultrasound, but this is my body and apparently the baby growing inside me as well. I'm glad this pregnancy is taking me well though, not like how some women be sick and not able to keep anything in their stomachs. It's a flex.
Around eleven Julia comes into my office and asks me if Jason is ok, when I ask her why she tells me that he refused every meeting that required him to leave the office. I told her I would talk to him, after she left, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. And then I left my office to go to his.
"Why are you refusing meetings outside the office?" I asked him after I walked into his office.
He doesn't answer me, he just looks at me the he scoots his chair back and turns it and opens his arms and I know what he wants. I laugh as I walk to him and plop on his lap. He immediately puts his arms around me and puts his head on the crook of my neck and breathes me in. I laugh because he's behaving like a baby.
"I just wanted proof of life." He murmurs and it tickles.
"I also want proof of life. But I'm not ready yet to get it." I tell him honestly.
He lifts his head then and looks me in the eye. "You're scared." He says reading my eyes and I nod and it's my turn to put my head on the crook of his neck, hiding. "It's ok, we'll do it when you're ready, but there's nothing to be scared of." He says rubbing my back.
"Now, will you leave the office and attend your meetings and stop sulking?" I ask him then and he laughs.
"Fuck no. I've already had Julia call everyone to tell them to come to the office." He says.
I lift my head then and look at him. "That's my job dear sir." I tell him, I've been busy the whole morning with his calendar though. Julia said to reschedule most meetings especially the ones that he had to fly out of the country for.
"I know it's your job, it's done though, so now can you please leave my office. I have a meeting to prepare for." He says helping me stand. "I'm going to have a door installed here this weekend. I want to be able to see you when I work." He says as I walk towards the door.
"That won't be necessary, I won't be working here long." I say then walk out the door.
