85 7 Weeks Pregnan

The night that Lizzy and Brandon spent with each other's presence marked a significant day of their lives. It was because a month later, Lizzy find things wrong for her.

"Bluuurrggghhh…" as she vomited for the third time already. She did not know why when she wanted to eat sweets, she became nauseous. She wanted to vomit more but all she ate that night was sent to the toilet bowl already. She wiped her mouth with the towel and rinsed her mouth with water. The taste of her vomit is still there which made her lost appetite. She proceeded her morning rituals before exiting her room.

She descended the staircase and found her mother in the living area, reading the latest fashion magazine.

"Good morning mother." she greeted the woman whose attention was at the magazine but the woman seemed heard her so she nodded without looking at her.

She sat beside her mother and silently poured tea on the porcelain. She wanted to warm her stomach but when the fragrance assaulted her nose, it made her insides churn. She wanted to vomit again so she dashed out from the living room and run towards the bathroom.

Her mother raised her head and stared at her departing back with suspicion. Actually, she was observing Lizzy in the corner of her eyes and she noticed the pale complexion of her daughter. At first, she just thought that Lizzy was just overworked and needed some time to rest but it was already a month and she began suspecting.

Lizzy became more and more sleepy as days pass by. She became irritable and her mood swings from one after another. She had a huge appetite on sour things and she hated scented things. She tossed her perfumes to the bins and changed her scent into mild which her nose accepted.

She did not notice that her regular menstrual cycle did not come that month because she had a jampacked schedule.

She over worked herself for the entire month which made her collapse.

Her mother, Suzzane, rushed to the hospital upon receiving the news. She did not know why Lizzy collapsed just like that.

Lizzy laid down in the hospital bed. She's still sleeping. The doctor attached an IV drip to her because she lacked water and nutrition. She lost weight within a month and that made her more looked haggard.

Suzzane looked at her daughter with tenderness. She caressed her hair and the door opened. She looked at the man which made his way towards Lizzy.

"And you are?" Suzzane asked the man because he did not even knocked the door. He just barged in there and sat beside Lizzy.

"I'm Brandon Feine. Her friend. Someone said that she collapsed and I'm here to visit her." he said.

"I'm Suzzane, Lizzy's mother." the woman introduced herself to Brandon too.

She wanted to ask Brandon if what's his relationship with her daughter when the doctor came in with the results on his hands.

"Who among you here is Ms. Francais' relative?" the doctor asked.

"Me. I'm her mother." Suzzane answered.

"Please come with me. I have something to discuss with you." the doctor said.

Suzzane nodded and followed the doctor's suit and before she exited the room, she looked at Brandon.

The door closed and Brandon left alone with Lizzy.

He held her hands and gently kissed them.

He never thought that the woman marred a significance in his life even though he did not know any thing about her.

During the past month, he investigated Lizzy's background and found that she was a business partner and friend of Lyndon.

She was in the same circle with him. She owned a hotel and restaurant chain that is actually the biggest rival of his company. More than that, he found her an exciting woman. He knew that the night that something happened between them is the woman's first. He knew later on that Lizzy was still on the process of moving on with her one-sided feelings for Lyndon but he can wait as long as she will end up with him.

The past few days taught him that he wanted her. He wanted Lizzy to be his and he would do anything just to get the woman.

So, when that morning that he got the news that Lizzy collapsed, he set aside his work to visit the woman and surprisingly, he met her mother, Suzzane Francais.

In the doctor's office, Suzzane sat down on the chair and faced with the doctor's grim face. With that, she began to feel nervous.

"Mrs. Francais, your daughter is 7 weeks pregnant." said the doctor with seriousness in his voice. Suzzane on the other hand was taken aback with what the doctor said even though, there's a part in her that she already knew that Lizzy is pregnant.

"Is this true doctor?" she asked as she got the results from the doctor's hand.

"Yes. The test shows it and with that, I advice her to properly rest and take vitamins for her nutrition and for the fetus. Here, I'll recommend you a good gynecologist." then he handed out a calling card from his drawer.

"She needed proper rest because she's still at the first trimester and her condition is quite unstable. She's stressed and it's bad for her and for the fetus." the doctor added.

The doctor said many more things but it did not register on Suzzane's mind as she went to Lizzy's room.

She pushed the door and saw that Brandon is still there, holding Lizzy's hand.

"Can I talk to you outside?" Suzzane asked him which the man replied with a nod.

***

They arrived at a restaurant and booked a private room so that they could talk more privately. When Suzzane saw him, she instantly knew that the man had to do with her daughter's pregnancy. Also, when she thought more about it, Lizzy had only introduced one man to her and that was Lyndon so Brandon was a puzzle.

They ordered food and they ate in silence.

"So, Mr. Feine, where did you meet my daughter?" Suzzane asked as she sliced her medium rare steak.

"At Allure. I was drinking there alone and saw her on the bar counter, drunk." he said honestly. Hearing this, Suzzane frowned because Lizzy is not the type of woman who would get drunk at a bar.

She continued with her food with ease and occasionally drank the red wine which was served along with her steak.

"What do you in life, Mr. Feine?" Suzzane asked him again.

"I have my own company and also I'm a model." he answered before he chewed his food.

Suzzane nodded upon learning this.

"Are you in a relationship with my daughter, Mr. Feine?" she asked while she wiped the remnants of red wine on her mouth with the table napkin.

"I want to pursue her." he said honestly. "I find her as an ideal woman that fitted me. I know that she did not have any idea about me but I also want to know her more."

"Do you know that my daughter is currently pregnant with your child?" she asked straighforwardly to the man.

"Is she? I will take responsibility but ask her if she's willing to be married with me." Brandon said before he sipped his wine.

"Okay. I'll ask her later." Suzzane agreed and Brandon nodded.

They parted ways and Brandon gave Suzzane his calling card and his private number. He walked Suzzane back to the entrance of the hospital before he went away.

Suzzane entered Lizzy's room without any noise, afraid that she will disturb her daughter's rest. She placed the fruits on the bedside table along with her vitamins. She then gently caressed her daughter's head and after awhile, Lizzy woke up.
