Chapter 69

Bella's POV

A week had passed when I woke up one afternoon feeling nauseous. I scrambled to my feet and ran to the bathroom to hurled my guts out. Liam went to the clinic early, so he's not around to witness it.

I have been feeling sick lately and always feeling tired. I know what this means, but I have to make sure. So I made an appointment today with a private doctor. I want to surprise Liam, but I have to be 100% sure.

I asked Collette to come today, but I did not tell her why. She is y best friend, and I felt bad when I didn't tell her about Sophie. Now, I want her to be a part of this, and I know she will be thrilled.

I washed my face and took a hot shower to ease my tired body.  I asked Liam to send  Sophie to mom's this morning. I told him I would have a girl's day out with Collette today, but I have a doctor's appointment, in truth.

I was drying my hair when our doorbell rang. I know it's Collette, but still, I peeped on the hole to make sure and asked who it was. Collettes' voice can be heard from the opposite side, so I opened the door eagerly.

I am dressed in a red, short sundress and my white sweater. I hugged Collette and let her in the apartment while I fetch my purse and my phone.

" So where are we going, exactly?" Collette asked. I smiled at her and didn't say a word.

" Later, Cols. Let's go, or we'll be late for our appointment." I answered her and went out of the door.

" Alright, now you're secretive. Do you have a surprise wedding gift for me? Are we going to a gay bar?!" She asked, and I laughed at how ridiculous and dirty her mind is.

" Bella! Tell me, already!" She shouted after me. I pushed the elevator button and waited for her to join me.

" I swear, woman, if you bring me to a gay bar wearing this, I'll strangle you." she threatened me, and I just smirked at her.

" What's wrong with what you're wearing? You look fine to me." I told her, running my eyes all over her. she is wearing tight jeans and a fitted black midrib shirt with her trench coat.

" I should look good because I am the bride!" she said, then the elevator door opened, and we went in. We went to her car parked in the basement. I can't trust myself to drive a car yet after the accident.

We went out of the apartment building, and I instructed her to go straight downtown. she kept glancing at me, curious about where we are going. When we were near the clinic, I told her to slow down and park the car in front of it.

She looked at me with wide eyes when she finally saw the sign outside the building. I motioned for her to follow me, and she rushed beside me.

" Miss Montreal?" The receptionist asked me when I came in, and I nodded.

" Follow me please, Dr. Reynolds is waiting for you inside. You can bring your friend with you." She said and smiled at her. We followed her down the hall into the small room.

" Miss Montreal, welcome. Come and sit, please." The doctor greeted us and asked us to sit in front of her.

" Good morning, Doctor Reynolds, and thank you for having me even at such short notice." I smiled at the middle woman in front of me.

" No problem, Miss Montreal. Alright, so how long have you been feeling sick lately?" She asked, and I answered all of her questions. After the necessary interview, she took a sample of my blood and had it checked.

Collette has been very quiet since we came in. I looked at her, and she looked pale and nervous. I smiled at her apologetically. She reached for my hand and squeezed it.

" Thank you for bringing me. I don't why I'm the one feeling nervous and emotional when you are the one who will soon find out if you are pregnant or not. Did you tell Liam about this?" She asked me with a voice full of emotions and concern.

" No, I haven't. I wanted to make sure before telling him. And I want to surprise him. You're the only one who knows, Cols. After what happened with Sophie, I owe it to you to tell you about the second one." I told her, and she hugged me tightly.

" Thank you, Bels. I am so excited and nervous and so happy for you both." She whispered. Then the doctor came back, after a while with a smile on her face.

" Miss Montreal, the result just came in. Congratulations, you are 6 weeks pregnant." She announced, and I heard Collette squealed. I covered my mouth, and tears flowed in my eyes. I am feeling so many things.

This means so much to Liam. To witness the growth of my belly with our second baby. He will be able to see his or her birth and will be able to hold our baby when he or she comes out. Collette hugged me and cried with me.

The doctor gave me vitamins and instructions on what to do and what not to do. She also gave me a baby book guide to help me with a proper diet. She also provided me medicine for my nausea and vomiting.

Collette and I went out of the clinic feeling happy, loaded with vitamins and medicine. She held me with care and helped in the car. We decided to go to a restaurant to have our late lunch. Suddenly I am feeling hungry and thirsty.

We were eating our lunch and had been chatting happily when a couple came in the front door that made me gasped. Collette noticed my reaction and turned around. She, too, gasped and let go of her utensils.

The couple didn't notice us because we were seated at the far corner and was hidden from the rest of the crowd. The woman looked familiar, but the man with her made my blood boil.

If I am at a boiling point, Collette, on the other hand, already erupted. She stood up and marched up to the two unknowing couple. I followed right behind her to make sure she doesn't make a mistake and kill the two.

" Fancy meeting you here, Todd. Who's the bitch?" Collette said, and Todd looked up at us with wide eyes like a deer caught in headlights.

" Honey, what are you doing here?" He stood up and went to kiss Collette on the cheeks, but she dodged.

" I could ask you the same, HONEY! And you haven't answered my question, who is the bitch?" She raised her voice and stared daggers in the woman's direction.

The woman in question is just smirking and sipping and acted unbothered with the situation. I looked at her with a death glare, and she raised her brows at me.

" Honey, this is my client, Dr. Paige Johnson. We have an appointment and decided to meet here. Bella, it's nice seeing you again." He diverted his attention to me, and I gave a curt nod and a short smile.

" I'm okay, Todd, thank you. So you know, Dr. Johnson, huh?" I asked him and glanced at the bitch.

" Yeah, yeah, as I've said, she's my new client, and we were about to discuss her case." He answered, feeling uneasy, and kept on glancing at a seething Collette.

" I will send Bella home. Make sure you are already at home before  I go back." Collette said and gave Dr. Paige another glare before storming out of the restaurant. I followed after her and made sure she calmed down before driving.

" I'm sorry, Bella if I ruined our happy afternoon. Do you think she's only a client? She seemed very cozy with him before I confronted them. I will really kill Todd if he is cheating on me." Collette said and gripped the steering wheel.

" I don't know, Cols. But I tell you, that woman is a snake. She is also after Liam. She's the new Psychiatrist at the hospital. Remember the photo we saw Liam kissing at the bar? That's her." I told her. She cursed and hit the wheel.

" f*****g bitch! I will really drill a hole in her head if she ever seduces my fiance." I will strangle Todd if he ever let her seduce him." She declared.

I was lost in my thoughts while Collette was still cursing while driving. Why is Todd with her? How did they know each other, and why didn't Todd told Liam that he knew her. Now I am curious and confused at the same time. I have so many things to tell Liam. I don't know which one to tell him first.
