The following morning, Ariana went to the bathroom to have a shower. She noticed something strange. The sanitary pad she wore yesterday was clean.

This was the same thing that happened in the last two days. She barely bled out. The first day's flow was supposed to be heavy, but only a few droplets came out.

Ariana's period usually lasted for five to six days. It was consistent all year round, so it was very strange that she barely bled and it stopped on the third day.

What was wrong? Was this because of an underlying illness? 0h, no!

Ariana was perturbed, so she went to the hospital for a general check-up since it was Saturday.

She was expecting to be told she was sick. However, the report she got left her beyond stunned.

The doctor said with a smile, “Congratulations, Ms. Edwards. A pregnancy test was carried out, and it showed that you are pregnant!"

Ariana couldn't believe it.

"But I've been on my period the last two days."

“That was not your period. That was an indication of miscarriage, due to your unstable pregnancy. If you want to keep the baby, you'll have to be careful from now on. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. You'll need to come back for another examination in two weeks." The doctor wrote down some notes on her medical record.

"Okay." Ariana took the paperwork and left in a daze.

She walked out of the hospital, not sure what to do with herself.

She had only just convinced herself that it would be better to not be pregnant, and now in a twist of fate, it turned out she was.

If she told Theodore, he would surely tell her to get an abortion.

A reluctant look appeared in her eyes as she rubbed her belly.

Was she really going to have an abortion?

It was noon by the time she returned home. Judy cooked her lunch, and since Theodore wasn't home, she sat and ate alone.

But she couldn't taste a thing.

Despite her lack of appetite, she forced herself to eat, for the baby's sake.

Theodore was out for the whole of the afternoon, and Ariana became more and more uneasy. She wasn't sure if she should tell him the news, worried about what he might say.
