The scene at Rosie’s house was quite a funny one. Arianna was seated on a couch with her knees kissing and little distance between her two feet, one of her hands cupping her cheeks while the other held a hospital report. She kept staring at the paper on her hand with disbelief written all over her face.
Rosie on the other hand was standing at the end of the wall with her back against it, she kept her gaze fixed on her best friend with an expression that was hilarious to describe.
The reports clearly showed that Arianna was weeks pregnant, she could not believe it. How did this happen? This is why she always avoided hospitals; they never had any good news for her. The last time she was at a hospital, it was to receive the news of her mother`s death, and before then she had gone there only to find out that her father`s Leukemia was at a chronic stage and a few days later, he kicked the bucket.
“Who does it belong to?” Rosie asked softly, as she had come to accept the fact that her best friend was pregnant.
“It is… It’s him Rosie, the man… the man from Valentine’s night,” Arianna stuttered as she fought back the tears that had pulled up in her eyes, ready to overflow at any moment.
“Are you sure Aria? It could be Dave” Rosie said.
Arianna waved her head in the negative. “No Rosie… I haven’t been intimate with Dave in months, the last time we had sex was in December.”
“So what are you going to do now? How are you going to find him?” She queried.
“I have already tried for the past two weeks, he is a ghost so I have to move on, I just have to face my fate,” Arianna replied sadly. She stared at the reports one more time then dropped it carelessly on the table.
“You mean you are going to keep the child? But you don’t even know it`s father, are you sure this is a good idea?” Rosie asked out of concern for her best friend.
“I don’t know Rosie, but I can’t kill my baby. I simply have to keep her,” Arianna sighed.
“Her? You want a girl?” Rosie couldn’t help but notice that her best friend had tagged the baby feminine already.
“Yes, I want a beautiful girl, I always wanted one even though not like this, but I guess fate has its way of doing things. Boys are so stubborn and selfish,” Arianna forced a chuckle, trying to console herself.
