Eratu was about eight weeks pregnant, making her eligible for a scan. Maybe if | convince her to get a scan, and she hears the baby’s heartbeat, she might change her mind about the abortion. 2

“| want to go with you to the clinic then,” | said.

Why?” she asked suspiciously.

You will need someone to support you. It feels good knowing there

is someone out there waiting for you,” | told her. | saw her swallow, and she nodded.

Well, today is good for me, shall we?”

| waited for her to get ready, and in thirty minutes, she was there. | drove her to the clinic. Eratu was eager to do this.

“I'm so glad it’s finally time. You have no idea how much money | lost because of the pregnancy sicknesses. This one time, | was giving a client a private lap dance when | buffed all over him,” she told me. |

chuckled. It was funny.

Anurse came to us. Eratu had already made an appointment with the doctor, so all she had to do was fill in the forms. We were told to wait for ten minutes for the doctor. | paced the hallway.

“Hey, while we wait, can we do a quick scan? I’m bored,” | said nonchalantly.

‘What's the point?” she narrowed her eyes.

“| told you, I’m bored,” | whined, grabbing her hand and taking her to

the scanning room..

We found another nurse. Luckily, she agreed to do a quick scan. Eratu, despite complaining, changed into the blue gown and lay on the bed. The nurse put the gel on her tummy. It was barely showing.

| heard the strong heartbeat of the baby before she could. A smile spread on my lips, but | had to be inconspicuous.

“|

You hear that, Miss. That’s a strong heartbeat,” the nurse smiled. Eratu’s gaze was still on the small TV. She was indifferent. But suddenly, she burst out crying bitterly.

“That little thing is growing inside my tummy...” she cried. | didn’t know how to decipher her tears.

Awhole human is inside of me,” she sobbed louder. The nurse was

shocked and glanced at me,

It's alright. You won't carry it much longer as you wanted,” |

shrugged, acting mellow.

She wiped her tears and sat up. “I’m scared, Lila,”

Of what?”

The abortion and keeping it,”

My plan was working. Hearing the baby’s heartbeat did something to her. Even if she didn’t want the child, it was still hers. They shared a heart, a body! There was nothing greater than a mother’s devotion.

Well, I’m here for you on whatever decision you make,” | told her. |

would support her decision no matter what. She changed into her

outfit and walked out of the scanning room.

The doctor was ready to perform the abortion now.

She held my hand and looked into my eyes,” Will you be there when |

come out?” | could tell she was scared,

Yes,” | answered softly. Eratu smiled at me as she entered the theater room, and | returned a sad one. Once those doors closed, | fell on the grey couch. | didn’t expect to feel this emotional. Tears pooled out of my eyes. The nurse at the front desk was concerned and came to ask if | was alright.

“I'm not okay, but | will be,” | told her as | cried. She went back to her desk, glancing over there with concern. My phone was ringing, it was Jace calling. I’m sorry, Jace. I’m sorry | couldn’t save your child. | thought. | couldn’t bring myself to answer his calls.

My eyes focused on the door, but suddenly, the red light went blue. Are they done already? That was too fast. Eratu walked out of the door. She leaned against the wall and sighed.

‘I'm only a host. After nine months, you're giving money... Plenty of cash. I’m leaving this city, and | don’t ever want to see you, Jace, or

this little cute thing

in my stomach,” she frowned. | almost

fell to the floor in happiness. | nodded vigorously and ran to hug her. Eratu chuckled and held me.

We are having a baby!” | screamed. The nurses all hissed at me and glared in warning.

“I'm sorry,” | mouthed.

“Don’t go convincing me to be part of this baby’s life, please,” she said seriously,

“|

Yeah, you're only a host. | know,” | told her.

“A host,”

Jace would be ecstatic. He would have his baby, and I’ll be its mother.

| will be a mother. Me.

Jace.

| called Lilac after visiting her workplace after | left my pack. | wanted to surprise her with lunch, but she wasn’t responding to my calls. My mind went into a frenzy. Ever since she left me, | have lived in constant fear she might leave me again. | called everyone who knew, but they had not heard anything from her.

“|

Are you sure, Love?” | asked her over the phone. She chuckled.

I'm sure she just went somewhere. Jace, you can’t live in fear she will leave. She came back to you. Trust me, that girl is going nowhere.” My breath shuddered. My phone beeped, and | was reminded brutally by the calendar that it was the day Eratu was going for the abortion. | felt hurt. | was losing my child again, and there was nothing | could do. | needed to be with Lilac. She always managed to ease my pain.

[ Where are you, baby] I texted her. Her response came.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

[Let’s go out for dinner tonight, pick a place. Surprise me. Xoxo] | smiled and replied okay.

| made a dinner reservation for us at one of the new restaurants. She was alright and safe, so | went back to work. There was a lot to do after the confession we heard.
