Lover Sacrificed - Chapter 34

A few weeks later Nalla found out things were actually much worse than she thought.

She hadn’t bled.

Which could only mean one thing.

She was pregnant.

But she had no way of confirming. It wasn’t like she could go to the nearest drug store and buy a home pregnancy test. She had to talk to Doc Jane.

She bit her lip. She had been debating with herself for the last two days.

To call or not to call…

Surely Doc Jane was bound to the Hippocratic oath right? Even if that was a human thing? Because if she wasn’t then Jane would tell V, Vishous would tell Butch, the cop would tell Rhage… and once Hollywood knew, hell even George would know.

Fuck… fuck… fuck… She had prayed for this, and now her prayer had come true, she was terrified.

She pressed the dial button but immediately hung up.

And was immediately called back.

- Nalla, did you call?

- Ah, hi Doc Jane. Yeah. Yes, I did.

- Ok. What can I do for you?

- Do you have to ah… keep that oath where you have to keep your patients stuff secret?

- The Hippocratic oath, sure yes of course. I’m still a doctor, even if I’m a ghost.

She laughed and Nalla cleared her throat.

- So, if I asked you something, or you found out something about me, you couldn’t tell Vishous, right?

- Nope.

- What about Manny, would you have to tell him?

- Not if you didn’t want me too. Nalla honey, is something wrong?

- I ah… think I need a check up.

- Ok, what do you think is wrong?

- I can’t say. Not over the phone.

- I see. When do you want me there?

- Whenever you can.

- Are you still at the cabin?

- Yes. Hello?

- Hi.

She turned around to find Doc Jane in her bedoom. She was fast!

- So tell me, what can I do for you?

- Do you promise not to tell anyone?

- I promise.

- Not even Vishous. Or Ehlena or Manny. Nor my mom and dad. Promise. Oh and definitely not Darius.

- You think you’re pregnant don’t you?

She nodded, glad that Doc Jane was as intuitive as ever.

- I haven’t bled. And I know what that means, but I… it was only once. Some females don’t get pregnant after a whole needing of being serviced. It’s not possible for me to…

- Calm down. Let me get my things ready and I’ll tell you for sure.

Nalla sat on the bed as Jane set up her portable ultrasound scanner.

- I’ll start with the internal exam ok? Take of your pants and lie on the bed.

Nalla did as told and watched as Doc Jane snapped on a pair of gloves.

Biting her lips at the discomfort she watched Doc Jane’s face, whose expression gave nothing away.

- Your needing was 3 weeks ago right?

- 4 weeks.

- Have you had any intercourse since?

- Ah…

She blushed but Doc Jane stayed professional.

- Everything you tell me stays between you and me Nalla. Yes or no.

- Yes. About two weeks ago.

- Ok, let’s continue with the external exam.

She was desperate to ask but decided to be patient as Doc Jane was concentrated on putting some kind of gel on her belly.

She moved something over it and then showed her the screen.

It was empty! She wasn’t…

- Do you see this little dot, right here?

- Yes…

- Congratulations my dear. That’s your baby.
