Chapter 23

After waking up the next morning, Alexa felt dizzy and nauseous. She thought it was just the after effect of the beers they drank the other night. "Hubby, can I take a day off today, I'm not feeling well. I'll ask Bella to be your secretary for today." Alexa said to John. "John checked her temperature and other vitals but all were normal. "Ok, rest for today. After I finish my clinic hours, I will go home immediately." John said before he kissed Alexa and left. Alexa called Bella. "Are you ok?" Bella asked with a worried voice. "I'm ok, I'm dizzy, I'll just sleep, maybe later this will be gone." Alexa aswered. "Ok, I'll be John's secretary for today. Sleep well." Bella said and end the call.

Alexa slept for about an hour, when she woke up, she's still dizzy. She stood up and hurriedly ran to the bathroom to vomit. Her stomach was really upset. She went back to the bed. Suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Eventhough her world is still spinning, she was able to open the door and Rain entered. "Are you ok big sister? You're pale!" Rain held Alexa because she was about to fall. They sat on the sofa. "I'm really dizzy, I vomited a while ago but nothing came out. My stomach is somewhat upset. I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. " Alexa said feeling tired. "Can you walk, let's go to the hospital!" Rain said with worries in her face. She guided her big sister until they reached Alexa's car and drove fast. While driving, she called her big brother, "Big brother, I'm with Alexa and we're going there. She's not ok." Before John could answer, the call was ended. He ordered the ER staffs to prepare a space for Alexa. He panicked, he's walking back and forth at the parking lot. Bella and Myra were patiently waiting at the ER. "What could it be, she's ok last night, right?" Myra asked, worrying about her friend. "We will know it later." Bella aswered. Mike tapped John shoulders. "Relax bro, she will be fine." Mike said comforting his friend. John just nodded.

Finally Alexa's car arrived. John immediately ran towards the car and opened the door. He worried too much when he saw the paled face of Alexa. Alexa opened her eyes and when she saw John's face, she smiled weakly. John carried Alexa towards the ER. He laid her on the ER stretcher and pushed it inside the room prepared early. Alexa vomited again but same as before, there was nothing. Mike checked Alexa, took her temp, blood pressure, pulse rate. John ordered complete laboratory test. But at the end, all were normal. Mike called the laboratory, "Perform a pregnancy test." He said and winked at John who at first didn't understand what Mike have said but when he finally realized the test, he smiled widely.

It took 30 minutes before the result was released. All are waiting but John was the one who can't explain his feelings. "Dr. John, congrats! You're a daddy now!" Myra shouted. John was very happy. "I'm a dad now, I'm a father now! Whoohooo!" He shouted. All the staffs congratulated him. Alexa fell asleep and she wasn't aware of the celebration outside.
