CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO-1
HAILEY
I woke up to see that the red devils had shown their black horn, and were mocking me and laughing.
My period was here, and I wasn’t surprised. The next five days would be the absolute worst.
Valerie was already up and out of bed. I could hear her voice and Liam’s in the kitchen.
I slowly dragged myself out of the bed, wincing as I saw the red spots on my sheets.
I walked to the bathroom, and took a warm shower, already feeling my stomach cramping, and the headache kicking in.
The first day was always the worst, and I was looking forward to the pain killers. Once I was done, I dried off, put my robe on and walked out.
I went to my closet, and realized that I had run out of tampons and pads, and needed to run to the pharmacy to get more. Maybe, Valerie would have a spare I could use for now?
Ugh.
This was the absolute worst.
I called out to her, and she walked in.
“Hey, can I borrow some pads, please? I forgot to buy some and ran out. I have none left.”
“Of course. I bought one since last month and I haven’t even used it yet.”
She opened her nightstand and got the pack of pads, and handed them to me. But my facial expression caught her attention.
“Hailey?”
“What do you mean you haven’t used it since last month? Does that mean you haven’t seen your period for a month?”
She thought about it, and froze. Valerie has never missed a period. In fact, I was the one who used to have inconsistent periods due to my PCOS, until I reversed the condition, and my cycles returned to normal.
I could hear Valerie’s heartbeat. It was beating a million miles a second, and the look on her face. said it all.

CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO 1
“I haven’t had my period for a month. What does this mean?”
The silence was deafening.

“Valerie, you don’t have to worry, it might just be a side effect, or stress. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Maybe the stress and the emotional roller coaster was too much, and your body is reacting and is taking its toll.”
She shook her head. “You don’t understand, Hailey. I’ve been stressed, gone through the death of my first love and every other trauma, but not once did I miss a period. And not to mention, that Giovanni and I haven’t exactly been taking precautions because it just happens sometimes. So, there’s a possibility that I may be pregnant. Shit. What do I do?”
“First, you need to take a pregnancy test and see. You need to make sure before you freak out, or worry about something that may not even be true. Just calm down, and take a breath.”
“How the hell am I supposed to take a breath when I think that I may be carrying a child? A child! And I don’t even know if the father is going to stick around and be a part of the picture.”
“Val, one step at a time, okay. Let’s not panic and jump to conclusions. This is not the time to freak out, and we can’t make any decisions without the results. I have a spare pregnancy test, so just take the test and we’ll know for sure. If the test is negative, then you can relax. If not, then we’ll deal with it. But right now, let’s not make any assumptions or decisions.”
She nodded, and followed me to my room. I got the test, and handed it to her.
“I’ll wait outside, and if you need me, I’m right here.”
She gave me a small smile and went to the bathroom.
I could feel her anxiety, and knew she was terrified.
I wore my tampon and sat down, thinking about the possible scenario.
I’ve never thought of Valerie having a baby, and being a mother. She was good with Liam and I knew she was going to be an excellent mother. But, was she ready for the responsibility and the commitment?
