Something So Perfect (Something So 2) - Page 68

“No. I fainted. Once. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather. I think I caught a bug and it’s just taken a couple of days to get over it. Plus, I had a busy day today and I didn’t eat. Now that I have eaten, I feel fine.”

“How long did you faint for?” he asks while he flashes a light in my eye also.

“A couple minutes,” Matthew says to him.

“Did you hit your head?” he asks.

“No, I caught her while she was going down,” he says while the doctor writes into the pad.

“Everything looks okay. I’m going to wait for the blood and urine results. I’ll let you know as soon as I get them,” he says, walking out.

I put my head back, closing my eyes. “I could be home right now on the couch.” I open one eye while there’s a knock at the door. Parker and Vivienne walk in.

“Hey,” Parker says, going to Matthew’s side to squeeze his arm then coming to the bed. “How are you feeling, sweetheart?” she asks with such worry.

“I’m fine.” I try to reassure her.

Vivienne sits on the bed next to me. “You really know how to steal someone’s thunder.” She smacks my arm, laughing. “You couldn’t let some attention go to Matthew and his felony!” She turns to wink at Matthew. “Je savais que c’était une connerie.” I knew it was bullshit, she says to us.

The door opens now and Cooper walks in with I think every snack that the vending machine sells in his arms. Walking to the bed, he puts it all where my feet are. “That’s from the vending machines in the waiting room. Your father went to the vending machines in the cafeteria.”

“How?” I ask Parker. “How do you survive?”

She just shrugs. “You get used to it a bit, then you just reel them in a bit.” She hugs Cooper around his waist. “If it gives him peace of mind, I just do it.”

My father walks in with the same state as Cooper did. “Here, I could only get these. The machine ran out of change, so I have my assistant coming down with more snacks.”

I groan out loud while Vivienne laughs and starts going through the food. “C’est come L’Halloween.” It’s like Halloween, she says.

I lean forward, grabbing a pack of chips and a Gatorade. “There, happy?” I ask the room when another knock on the door makes us stop. The doctor walks in with the nurse following him.

“We have the results,” he says, looking at his feet and then back up.

Parker inhales deeply while tears come out of her eyes. Matthew pushes his way past everyone to get to me.

“If you will excuse us while we have a private conversation with Karrie. You can wait outside and she will call you in as soon as she is ready,” he says as I look around the room.

Parker has tears pouring over her lids, as well as my father, who looks paler than Casper the Ghost. Vivienne is wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye.

“It’s okay. They already think I’m dying. You have my permission to continue and give me the news.” As I say that my stomach starts to turn. I don’t know why I’m expecting him to tell me I’m going to die in six months. My palms get sweaty as Matthew grabs one and kisses it.

“I love you,” he says to me.

“Well,” Dr. Founder starts, “we have your results and you’re pregnant.” The second the words come out of his mouth, my ears start to ring. My neck starts to get hot again.

Parker is smiling and has her hands together. Vivienne gets up off the bed to high-five Matthew. Cooper is standing there, holding on to his wife with the biggest smile I’ve seen him make. My father walks over to Matthew, slapping him on the shoulder, then leaning over the bed, he kisses me.

“Your mother would be so proud of you,” he says, making tears start to fall. My hand goes automatically to my stomach.

“There has to be a mistake,” I say out loud. “I’m on the pill. Tell them, Matthew.”

The nurse chimes in, “The pill is not accident proof.”

I shake my head in shock. Matthew comes to sit by my side on the bed. He takes my face in his hands. “I love you so, so much.” He kisses me. My hands go on his. “We are going to have a baby,” he says, letting go of my face, his hand going straight to my stomach. Leaning down, he talks to my stomach. “I love you so, so much.” Then he addresses the doctor. “So does she stay in here for nine months or do we get moved?”

Cooper laughs out loud while my father puts his hand on his mouth. “No, we will be doing an ultrasound in a bit and then she is free to go home.”
