Ninety. My baby
The Soul-sucking org? Ezekiel's eyes turned to slits the moment Monalissa made that statement. Elijah was really good! However, this was the last time he ever got credit from him
"He", Monalissa continued, her eyes focused on the road, "must have already known about the pregnancy and your rejection of it", she said.
Ezekiel looked at her. Her face which looked vibrant some minutes ago now seems to have lost its light, and was now enshrouded in a dark icy cloud.
This was a part of her he always liked but had become rare since she got quite close to him. Now, that vibrance got dwindled thanks to his decision. This made his heart pound a great deal as they went to try hospital. If the child was his, how was he going to react? Will he still doubt it?
Monalissa felt the heated gaze on her pale skin, almost boring holes into her body. She clenched her fists under her clothes.
"Master", she called, bringing him out if his sea of thoughts.
"Yes Walker?", he answered.
"Can I drop by at the factory for some hours? I would like to see Hanabi and Luke", Monalissa said.
Ezekiel looked at her. She still called him master... Heaving a deep sigh, he made a mental note to tell her of her real identity when they got back.
"Alright", he replied. "Kim will drop you off... I have to go to the company", he said.
"Okay master", she said. The car ride continued in a heartbreaking silence but none could do anything about it.
They soon arrived at the hospital. Ezekiel went over to open the car door for Monalissa but the latter was already out making Ezekiel sigh in exasperation. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"There are things I want to be doing for you from now on", he said. Monalissa looked into his blue orbs and was almost engulfed in the flames of desire crowded in his eyes. He reached forward, his palms cupping her delicate face which had become cold since last night.
"I'm sorry Walker", he apologized. "Whatever the result says, I don't care anymore. I just can't bear you not talking to me. I miss you", he confessed.
At his words, Monalissa wanted nothing more than to throw herself into his warm and strong embrace, holding him firmly while crying her heart out. She missed him too but, will he still even value her if she agreed to him? She was already scared of being hurt again.
"Master, you don't have to be like this", she said recoiling from his touch. She couldn't allow herself to be carried away.
"We're going to be late for the test", Monalissa said. She closed the car door , then looked at him.
"Let's go master", Monalissa said.
"Yeah, let's go", he said and grabbed her hands which were quite soft to touch. Monalissa stilled, her feet rooted to the ground. Ezekiel looked at her, pursing his lips.
"Walker, I don't want you to lose your way", he said, gesturing at the big hospital that stood before them. This was different from the last place she was at.
"I'm not a baby", she said, oblivious of the pout she made when she spoke. This sparked something within Ezekiel.
"But you're my baby", he said.
Monalissa's legs nearly melted to a pulp at his words but her consciousness regained it's sense allowing her to behave.
Ezekiel gave a slight chuckle and began taking her to the Gynaecology clinic.
They arrived soon and was met with Doctor Maya's assistant.
"Good morning", the male doctor greeted with a sweet smile.
Monalissa returned the smile. "Good morning doctor", Monalissa said.
Ezekiel's brows furrowed in a jealous frown. "Where's Doctor Maya?", he questioned, his face cold as he looked at the doctor.
"Doctor Maya will be here in some minutes. I will take you to the ultrasound room", he said.
Monalissa nodded and looked Ezekiel. The latter nodded at her, a signal for her to go. He walked beside her, his focus on her every step.
They were brought to the room for the test. Monalissa sat on a stool while Ezekiel stood. They waited for Doctor Maya. Two minutes later, Doctor Maya arrived at the ward.
"Good morning Miss Walls, Mr Don", she greeted with a warm smile.
"Good morning doctor", Monalissa returned the greeting.
"I will commence the test for your pregnancy, that will help us know for sure, the exact date you took in, and how old the pregnancy is at the moment", she said and looked at them.
"Do we really need to do this?", Ezekiel asked. "It's just our samples that is needed for the test".
"We need to know Miss Walls state of health and the baby first", Doctor Maya said.
Doctor Maya looked at Monalissa. "Miss , Walls, let's start", she said.
Monalissa nodded and was about to stand when she suddenly felt a sudden weightlessness. "Oh", she mouthed.
Ezekiel carried her to the bed and lay her there. The doctors had no say in this and could only blush at the sweetness the duo were showing off.
Doctor Maya came forward and to commence the test. "I will begin now", she said. The assistant doctor came forward with a tray of supplies. Doctor Maya took the surgical rope there and tied the place immediately after her elbow. Cleaning her arms with a cotton wool that was immersed in methylated spirit. Then she took the syringe and inserted it into her skin, to her vein.
Monalissa didn't flinch as she had undergone pains more than this. It was as though nothing had happened.
Doctor Maya drew the blood and handed it to the assistant who took it to have it checked out. She placed the damp cotton wool in the spot the syringe was inserted and pulled out from.
"It won't take time. The result will soon be out", Doctor Maya said.
"Yes doctor", Monalissa replied.
Ezekiel came forward, taking the cotton wool from Monalissa's fingers, he placed it on the spot where the syringe was removed from. Monalissa looked up at him, their faces almost jamming in that little action.
"Let me do it for you", Ezekiel said, his voice a Gentoo plea. Monalissa sighed within, allowing him to do what he wanted.
Soon the doctor arrived with the results. He handed the result to Doctor Maya who gave it Monalissa.
"Here Miss Walls", she said.
Monalissa took the envelope from her, and opened it while looking at Ezekiel. Her hands were a little shaky but she still opened it.
Pregnancy - positive++
Four weeks!
Monalissa nearly screamed. What the hell?! That was a month. Even Ezekiel was shocked.
He looked at Monalissa. The last time they had sex....was just the new day before her kidnap.... He had only taken her from the back... Perhaps, some proteins might have travelled down there....?
Doctor Maya smiled at Monalissa. "It's okay Miss Walls. Everything's fine. You'll have to undergo an ultrasound to see the state of the baby, though there might be nothing to see yet".
This result brought a while new feeling to Monalissa, her eyes glistening with tears. "I want to see it", she said.
"Of course", the doctor replied. She lay on the bed, for the test to begin. The assistant came forward, bringing the machine closer.
"Raise your blouse", he said to her. This ignited a frown on Ezekiel's face and he immediately looked at Doctor Maya.
Doctor Maya understood the warning sign and immediately stood from her seat.
"It's ok Jackson. I will do that", she said.
"But I can handle this", the doctor whose name was Jackson said.
"It's fine", Doctor Maya protested, signalling him to take a step back. Doctor Jackson finally got the message and stepped back with a smile. He looked on from the side.
Ezekiel looked at him. Then at Doctor Maya. "Don't you have any female assistants? I can't stand him", Ezekiel said his face tightened in a deep frown.
Monalissa looked at him. "Master, calm down. Doctor Jackson is just a doctor", Monalissa said.
"But before that he was a man!", Ezekiel pointed out.
"No issues. I will be out. Miss Walls, congratulations", he said and bowed slightly to Ezekiel as a sign of apology. Ezekiel ignored him, focusing his eyes on the woman lying down on the bed.
Doctor Jackson left the ward, leaving the trio in the ward. The ultrasound commenced. There was already a formation in Monalissa's womb, but it still very little. If one didn't look well, they wouldn't notice.
"The gender is not visible yet, so we can't tell. Since it's four weeks old, the DNA test won't be difficult", Doctor Maya explained. "I will take the sample of the baby and that of Mr Don", she said.
Ezekiel looked at Monalissa, and at the monitor screen, his heart skipping a beat. The thing was still very little. His anticipation heightened and he couldn't wait to know what the outcome would be.
The doctor took their samples, which didn't take time. "The result will be ready at the end of this week", she said.
The test finally came to an end. This caused for an extra tightening of security around the hospital. Ezekiel made sure that nothing went wrong but then again, things like this doesn't always go smoothly.
