WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 51 – The End

Jasmine’s pov ?

Three weeks later

“Baby, it’s gonna be fine”

“But…”

“It’s fine, we’re just here for a normal check up” Thana told me.

Ok, this is what is happening right now…

We’ve had peaceful days, but my health kept declining… the dizziness.. sudden cold.. vomiting and stuff increased.

Thana’s been trying to get me to the hospital for check ups, but I kept refusing.

But finally, he succeeded in dragging me to the hospital, now entering the doctor’s office (aunt Grace) is now a problem.

I sighed.

“I’m gonna be here with you, also, it’s just gonna take five minutes and we’ll be done” he said.

I rolled my eyeballs at his words, he’s talking as if he’s the doctor.. what a sweet talker.

“Let’s go” I said.

He nodded and pushed the door opened, then made way for me to go in and he followed after me.

“Aunt” I called aunt Grace when we fully entered her office.

She closed the file she was reading and lifted her head.. she broke into a full smile when she realized it’s me.

“Jasmine, you’re here” she said, sounding as though she’s been expecting us.

Maybe Thana informed her earlier about our coming here, she got up and walked towards me.. she pulled me into a hug.

“What took you so long?” She asked after pulling away from the hug.

“I…”

“We’ve arrived since 20minutes, but someone was too scared to come” Thanatos piped in.

I eyed him, while aunt Grace laughed.

“Stop teasing her!” she scolded him playfully. “Come, darling.. have a sit”

Aunt Grace led me to her big chair, I sat down and she pulled out some medical tools.. I guess she wants to start immediately.

“Thana told me you’re scared of needles and stuffs…”

I nodded.. though I’m not scared of needles that much, I’m just scared to hear I’m not pregnant.. I’m scared it might be a false news and…

“… don’t worry, we’re not gonna take too much time. I’ll finish everything before you know it, you won’t feel any pains” she assured me.

I nodded.

She pulled out my hand, she rubbed something cold on it and picked her syringe…it sparkled and I quickly moved my eyes away.

“Aunt, did you get everything ready?” I asked.

I wanna do something that will take my mind off whatever she’s gonna do…and it seemed like talking is the best option.

“Yes, I don’t wanna waste your time, since today’s your friend’s engagement party” she replied.

“Thanks, I really don’t wanna be late or Adele might grill me today” I said.

Aunt laughed.

Right, today’s Adele engagement party, I should’ve been the one to do her makeup and stuff.. but she’s scared of making me lose my baby due to stress.

That’s why she hired a makeup artist, so I’ll only attend the party and merry with her.

“Don’t dance too much and don’t drink any alcohol wine… not even a sip of it”

“Why?”

“You’re pregnant”

“Aunt….”

“I know, you don’t wanna believe it yet and that’s why we are carrying out this test”

She sighed, I hissed shortly when the needle pricked my skin.

“But trust me, I know a pregnant woman when I see one” she said.

My head turned towards Thana to see what he’s doing, only to find out he’s focused on his phone.

I scoffed mentally, he’s not even showing any care… his phone is more important than me recently.

“Alright” aunt dragged my attention.

I realized she’s pulled out the needle, with enough amount of my blood in the pipe.

“I’ll go get your blood tested, then we’ll know for sure if you’re really pregnant or not”

“Thanks, aunt”

“I’ll be right back” she said and left.

I got up from her chair and approached Thana, he’s laughing at whatever he’s reading.

I narrowed my eyes at him, then snatched his phone in anger.. he lifted his head and stared at me, the smile on his face faltered at once.

“Baby…”

“Do you really have to give your phone your undivided devotion?” I asked.

His eyes moved to the phone in my hand, he shook his head but attempted to take it back… I glared at him and he withdrew his hand.

“We came here together, you’re supposed to stand by me and hold my hand…”

“Baby, I’m sorry but please give the phone back to me”

My brows furrowed instantly.

“Really? What’s so interesting about it?”

“Em… You wouldn’t understand, just hand it back”

“No” I replied and sat on the empty space next to him.

“Baby, I’m in the middle of something very important” he said.

“I don’t care”

“Baby…”

“Stop babying me!” I snapped at him.

“I really need that phone right now, I can’t afford to…”

I angry threw the phone on his laps and got up, then walked back to aunt Grace’s chair and sat down.

“Are you mad at me now?” He asked.

Isn’t obvious? Is that a question he’s supposed to even ask?

I kept quiet and folded my arms on my chest, then threw my head back on the chair and closed my eyes.

“I’m sorry, but…”

I toned him off as I felt my lids getting heavier, this is what I’m experiencing lately…I always feel sleepy anytime I rest my head on something.

**********

My eyes snapped when I heard the sound of door opening, I sat up and saw aunt Grace rushed inside.

There a very big, bright smile on her face.

“Jasmine, I knew you’re pregnant!” She said.

“I’m pregnant?”

She nodded excitedly, Thana got up and approached us.

“Yes.. you’re seven weeks gone!” she exclaimed.

My brain suddenly went numb, I couldn’t process what she just said.

My eyes wandered to my stomach and I rubbed it gently, I’m pregnant?

She said I’m pregnant.. it’s really true that I’m pregnant.. I’m pregnant!

I don’t know how to react about this, I’m speechless.. utterly speechless!

I could only felt tears flowing down my cheeks, my lips quivered as I stared at my stomach.

Miracle.. this is a miracle baby!

“Baby, now you’re scientifically proven pregnant.. how do you feel?” Thanatos asked me.

I raised my teary eyes and pulled him into a hug.

“I’m happy! I’m very, very, very happy! I can explode in happiness right now!” I cried on his shoulder.

He patted my back gently.

“We’re having our second baby, I’m happy too” he said.

Jesus! I can’t even show how happy I am right now.. but I’m very happy.

“Jasmine, you should always believe in miracles, they do happen” aunt Grace said.

I nodded and hugged Thanatos tighter, I momentarily forgot I was mad at him.

WHEN LOVE IS GONE: Chapter 51 – The End

**********

“Wow!” I awed as I walked past the candle lights and little fairly lights.

It’s so lite here, it’s just as if I’m Alice and I’m walking into the wonderland.

Everything is so perfectly organized, though it’s Adele’s engagement party.. but this is exactly my dream engagement party.

It’s even more beautiful than the one I had picture in my mind, Clark must have spent a lot of money on this..

“Do you like this?” Thana asked in my ear.

“Yeah… I can stay here forever!”

If I had magic, I’d have magically locked myself in here forever and make here my home.

“Hm” he hummed.

I arrived at the entrance, immediately I stepped inside.. flowers started falling on me.

Did they mistook me to be Adele? I laughed.

I turned to tell Thana about it, only to see him on his knees and holding out a ring to me.

I frowned slightly and looked around in surprise.

Adele and Clark are standing in a corner, they waved at me. My eyes located Adele’s ring finger and found it empty, my frown deepened.

“What’s going on, Thana?” I asked.

Isn’t this supposed to be Adele’s engagement party? Why is Thana kneeling before me with a ring?

Ma Gloria is also standing in a corner, she’s carrying Davis in her arms.. my parents and Mr O’Briens are also standing next to her.

“When did you make this plan?” I whispered to him.

He smiled.

“We’ve been making the plans together” he replied.

“But I thought it’s for Adele, we…”

“Marry me” he cut me off.

I blinked, this is what people call surprise. I’ve been planning my engagement party with him, without even the slightest hint about it.

“Baby, I’ve heard people say, behind every successful man.. there’s always a woman…”

Jeez! When did he suddenly became so cheesy?!

“… I want you to be that woman in my life. I know, I’ve made you suffer a lot, I’ve made you waste your precious tears on me, I’ve given you sleepless nights.. in fact, I’m a pest in your life!”

Everyone laughed when he said, even me, I cracked up a little bit. It’s just our family and few friends here, so I guess he’s not shy.

“But since you’re not complaining, I’ll love to continue pestering you.. give me a chance to be the only pest in your life.. please, say yes to me… Marry me, please”

“Thana… ”

“I’m not perfect, but I’ll do my best.. I’ll make sure to always provide food for you.. clothes for you.. I’ll be the best for you if you let me”
