Bound by her bump novel Chapter 2

Annie woke up a few minutes past seven to meet up with her appointment which was set for 9:15 am. She would rather get there early than late.

She said her morning prayer, arranged her bed and then did a little cleaning after which she had breakfast. She hardly had any appetite because of how nervous she was but she had to eat something according to the Doctor’s instruction.-

Annie tried her best to eat as much as she could, cleaned the dishes after which she went to take a shower and prepare for the day.

“That will be all dear. Remember to avoid stress, worry less, follow your meal plan and take your medications. It’s normal if it doesn’t work at first, you can always try again.” Doctor Myers said calmly to Annie who was seated on the hospital bed in a pale blue gown.

She nodded.

The insemination was done a while ago and Annie couldn’t explain how she felt. Her heart was beating twice faster all through. She tried to stay calm but it was just so impossible.

“When will I be able to know the outcome?, If I’m pregnant or not.” She asked nervously.

“You can check in two weeks. I’ll give you two tests before you leave.”

Forty-seven-years-old Doctor Myers went out of the room to give Annie some privacy to change back into her clothes. She did that very quickly after which she left for Doctor Myers office. He gave her a flyer which contained the necessary things she needed to know about and also the pregnancy sticks. She thanked him and left the hospital.

As soon as Annie pulled up in the driveway of her beauty parlour, a call came in. It was her best friend, Ella.

“Hey, How did it go?” Ella asked over the phone, slightly worried.

“It went well but it will take about two weeks to know if the procedure was a success.”

“It will be fine,” Ella assured.

"Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself." Annie sighed. "I’m so nervous. I pray it's successful” She said, placing her right hand on her belly.

“I’m sure it will and your child will be so lucky to have you. No doubt you will be an amazing mom, Ann.”

Annie smiled sadly. "You always know what to say to comfort me."

"I'm being very hopeful since this is what you truly want and as for being an amazing mom, I have no doubt about that. You're amazing with Claire and Jayden. I think this baby will be more than lucky to have you."

Annie smiled. "Thanks."

“So should I come over this evening, mama bear?” Ella asked.

Annie chuckled at the sudden nickname “I don’t mind.”

“Okay then, we will see in the evening. Don’t bother preparing anything. I’ll bring some Chinese food along. You’re allowed to eat Chinese right?” She asked hopefully.

“Yes, I’m allowed for tonight. How's your Boss?” Annie teased.

“He's a pain in the ass. You should see my office this morning. You would mistake it for a flower shop.”

“Aren’t you lucky he bought you flowers?”

“A bouquet of red roses would have been enough. He didn't need to go overboard.”

“You won’t forgive him, will you?” Ann chuckled over the phone.

“Well maybe. I just want to stay away from him but I don’t think it’s possible because he’s my Boss.”

“He likes you Ella and I think you’re being too hard on him. Pity the poor guy, please.”

Ella sighed “I will think about it.”

“Alright dear, I have to get to work. My customers are waiting.”
