{ELON Private Hospital}
Zoey POV
A light gasp escaped my lips as I looked at the two thick lines. Words, breeze and tears I don’t know which of the three I’m feeling.
“I’m pregnant, ohmigod. ”
“Babe. Are you okay? ” Calvin’s worried voice made me blink my tears and the tears came out rushing.
“Calvin, Calvin. Oh my gosh… ” I started stuttering. He opened the door when he noticed I was stuttering.
“You have tears on your cheeks. ” He uttered as he moved his hand to wipe them off.
“I’m pregnant Calvin. Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.. ” I rush my words, almost hard to put them together but then, he pulls me into a warm hug. Kissing my face in appreciation. He kept whispering comforting words which only kept triggering the tears to keep coming.
We walked out of the restroom and sat down on the bed.
“We should have realized this before if you weren’t ignoring my words. ” He uttered and caressed my cheeks.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting it to be pregnancy but I mentioned how I used to feel to you this morning. I realized they are pregnancy symptoms. I’m sorry for not realizing it so–”
“It’s fine Zoey. You are pregnant now. Are you ready to check your body up. ” He asked and I didn’t think before nodding.
“We will first go to the hospital before the agency. ” I mumbled and he nodded. I rush to my feet and I look at the mirror, I stare at my stomach and I smile.
“Zoey is not barren anymore. ” I giggled and brushed my hair quickly.
“I should be careful this time around. I can’t lose this baby again like the first one. ” I mumbled to myself and went inside the bathroom to freshen up.

ELON PRIVATE HOSPITAL

We safely arrived at the hospital and we went inside. Calvin suggests we shouldn’t use our regular hospital. I wanted to argue with him about it but he was adamant, so I gave up.
“Welcome Mr Calvin Simon.. ” The nurse at the reception welcomed us with a greeting.
“Have you been here before? ” I asked and he nodded, taking out the family hospital card.
“With who? ” I asked and he arched his brows.
“Cali of course… She’s visiting two hospital— ”
“Why? She didn’t tell me about this. ” I asked, almost raising my voice.
“Calm down Zoey.. You have Ann with you.. Why are you getting furious over this matter? I haven’t said something that will make you furious. ” I whisper and I realize I raise my voice.
“I’m sorry. ” I apologized, staring at him for more answers.
“You can visit Doctor Murphy for the test. ” The nurse uttered with a warm voice. Calvin collected the card and we were directed to his office.
“About my words earlier.. Cali said she doesn’t feel safe going to the first hospital she’s going for her check ups. So we decided to come here since Austin and Ayden are the owners. ” He explained as we entered the elevator. I came numb after he explained everything.
“You didn’t tell me this. ” I pouted and he sighed.
“Cali said I shouldn’t. She doesn’t want you to feel bad for not being pregnant… We all know how desperate you were to get pregnant… So I didn’t want you to feel less of yourself. ” He talked and I nodded.
“Are we seeing Crystal now? Ann asked with popcorn in mouth.
“Not yet darling… Mommy wants to have a quick check up. ” I uttered and she hummed.
We arrived at Doctor Murphy’s office and we’re invited to come in.
“Oh! Mr Simon. ” Doctor Murphy stood up from his seat to welcome us.
“Good morning Doctor Murphy. ”
“It’s been a long time since I saw you with your sister. ” He talked and I put Ann in my lap. I showed him the P-test results and he smiled.
“Finally. It’s here. I told Mr Calvin that nothing is wrong with you when he explained how things were going with you. His younger sister was worried about you when she came here. ”
“You are here for an ultrasound. ” He asked and I nodded. We stood up and he asked me to lay on the ultrasound bed. Few minutes later, he confirmed I was two weeks gone. I locked eyes with Calvin, he smiled and placed Ann’s hand on stomach.
“Did you feel that? ” He asked Ann.
“I didn’t feel anything, it’s just her stomach. ” She uttered and doctor Murphy laughed, including Calvin himself. In minutes, everything was done and left doctor Murphy’s office to the parking lot.
“Should we tell everyone about it. ” I asked and shook his head against the idea.
“When you are five months gone we will. For now, it’s just us… I don’t want to lose this— ”
“Isn’t that your personal assistant? ” I interrupted his words and he looked at where I pointed my finger.
“What’s she doing here? ” He asked no one in particular and we walked closer to her.
“Pooja. ” He called and she turned around. She gasped as if she wasn’t expecting to see us.
“What are you doing around ELON? Calvin asked calmly but I was curious about her being here. She started stuttering.
“I came to visit a friend… She came for a check up. ” She uttered with her lips trembling a bit.
“Is she fine? Where is she? Calvin asked, looking around.
“She went in with her sister.. I came out to make a call. ” She stuttered at the first part but rushed the rest.
“Oh! Okay… ” Calvin mumbled and we turned around to walk away.
“My instincts kept something off with her. But I don’t know how to put it down with Calvin. I sat down inside the car but my eyes were still on Pooja. WHO IS SHE? ” I thought and goosebumps raised on my skin. I sighed heavily.
