The Second Wife by Melinda Mulera (pocket ebook reader txt) 📕

The four of us got into Rose's car and Hazel sat in front when Avery showed it clear as day that he wasn't going to leave me. Not that he would, he was almost stuck to me like glue and I could tell he was a little scared. The grip on my hand as we drove closer and closer to the hospital only got tighter and tighter to the point it was almost unbearable. Hazel kept glancing up the driver's mirror and at me with a worried look in his eyes before he would redirect it to Avery.

There was no doubt that Hazel had grown a soft spot for Avery since that day.

I grabbed my phone from my purse and quickly texted Linda the address without telling her exactly what it was about knowing she would know since I had once told her about it. She replied saying she would be there in the next twenty minutes.

Her being there would ease up the tension in the air.

The hospital gates came into view and I clenched my jaw as my heart dropped into my stomach. This was it.

We drove into the gates and I could feel Avery's grip suddenly weaken. I glanced towards him only to noticed his watery as he but onto his lower lip. Didn't seem like he would cry, he just looked terrified.

"Let's go." Rose said casually as she opened the door and stepped out. I glanced at Avery again and he let go, knowing he had to let go if we would make it inside.

I got out as well and took in the sharp hospital scent.

Well, it's now or never.

Hazel glanced down st me as he stepped out as well, both of us getting off from the same side of the car.

"You ready?" He chuckled as we both closed the door while I nodded slowly.

"Better get done with it. Are you?" I asked and he nodded only to shake his head after a second.

"I'm kind of scared for Avery." He finally admitted to me after hiding it for long. "He's been pretending he was fine. But when he would think I wasn't looking, he'd stare at me with this gaze as though he was really sad."

"He's taking most if it in. But he'll have to face it if he loses. Aren't you scared too?" I asked in wonder.

"I'm scared of course." He sighed out shakily as we began to walk towards the hospital with Rose leading the way. "But I just have to act like the older one for all of us. We can't put all the pressure on you." He smiled as he kissed the side of my head as we stepped into the building. Avery didn't seem to want to talk to either me or Hazel since he was walking just behind Rose. His head was low and didn't seem to be minding where he was walking. Rose instructed him to sit on the benches and so did Hazel when he got the hint that this was where we split up.

Rose and I headed to the reception and she explained the situation to the receptionist who redirected us to a doctor's office where we met a woman who seemed well in her mid fifties. Rose explained the entire sorry to her while I sat beside her and kept getting awkward glances from the doctor who nodded as though sympathizing with me.

"Okay, I will explain the process to you this is the first time you are going through this. Chorionic villus sampling is simply a process where we take a sample of tissue from your placenta. There are two methods you can chose which you can choose from, the first one is Transcervical. In this procedure, we insert a catheter through the cervix and into the placenta to get some tissue sample. Don't worry, it's not painful, just uncomfortable. The second one is the Transabdominal method In this procedure, we insert a needle is through the abdomen and uterus into the placenta to obtain the tissue sample. However, we will have to choose the best option for you since you are over twenty two weeks pregnant, it's mostly done at ten but don't worry, you will find your daddy soon."

"Thank you. She can undergo the proceeded immediately right?" Rose asked and the doctor nodded.

"She's in safe hands." She said and I couldn't help but feel anxious. "Don't worry Ms Brown, you will not feel any pain at all I assure you. It is fast and safe, you'll be in and out in no time."

"How long until the results?" I asked shakily as I stared at her.

"Roughly three days." She smiled charmingly, making me slightly calm. "Mrs Bronze, if you would please step out." She smiled and Rose smiled back before leaving, not even wishing me luck. "Do you want to use the bathroom?"

"Actually I do-"

"That's perfect. The procedure requires you have a full bladder." She smiled as she stood up. "Please, onto the bed, Mrs Brown."

I can't believe this is happening....
