Chapter 5

Amelia lays on her bed as she thinks about Damian. 'So he's a CEO" she thought.

"I wonder what a CEO does," she says to herself.

She caresses her stomach and remembers her baby. She then started to think deeply about abortion and her baby.

'If I abort this baby, will that make me a murderer?' she thought as she gently stroke her flat tummy.

She looks around her room where pictures were seated on top of the bedside table. It was baby pictures. Pictures of her and her parents joyfully smiling at the playground.

She started to recall what her mom always told her every night without fail. 

"We love you our dear Lia, our most precious daughter"

If she aborts the child, is she going to take the child's future away from it? Is it going to make her a bad person? She thought about it, as her maternal instincts were kicking in.

"I-I...am I going to abort the child?" She asks herself as she stares at the picture of their family.

She quickly picked up her phone and dialed her friend's number.

"Why? Is anything wrong?" Tara asks sounding concerned.

"Um. I...about the abortion"

"What about it?" Tara asks again.

"I don't want to get an abortion anymore," Amelia says as she mustered up all her courage.

"Are you sure? Why?"

"I..." Amelia was about to explain but she cut herself off. She knows that Tara wouldn't be able to understand her.

"I understand. But you still have to go to the doctor. Just make sure that everything is alright" Tara says through the phone.

Amelia hummed and said goodbye to Tara and hung up the phone.

-The Next Day-

Amelia steps in the Ob's office at the hospital. She is greeted by the sweet smile that was plastered on the Ob's face.

"Hello. You must be Amelia. I've heard from Tara. It was brave of you" the Ob said, her eyes filled with sincerity.

"Hello" Amelia greets back and slightly bowed as she feels nervous.

"No need to be nervous. I'm just going to check the baby"

They went inside the room and Amelia sat down on the bed. The Ob asked her to lift her shirt so she did. The Ob then rubbed some kind of gel on her stomach before laying down the ultrasound machine on her tummy.

The Ob pointed at the screen, "that's your baby, dear"

Amelia turned her head to the screen and then smiled at the sight of the small dot on the screen.

"So small" she softly said but loud enough for the Ob to hear.

The Ob laughs at her comment. "The baby's small huh?"

Amelia blushes, slightly embarrassed from what she said.

A few minutes later, the consultation finished. The doctor gave her a list of what vitamins she needs and she also explained what's good and bad for the baby.

Amelia says goodbye to the doctor and left the room. She walks to the elevator with the printed ultrasound on her hand. The elevator opened and she was greeted by a familiar face. The same ice blonde hair, the same jade eyes that stared at her. It was him. Amelia froze in shock, her eyes wide in surprise. Damian immediately recognizes her face and was about to call her name when Amelia ran away and heads toward the fire exit, completely disregarding what the doctor said about strenuous activities.

'Why did she run?' Damian thought as he looks at the direction where she ran to. 'How unusual. Isn't this the floor for people who are pregnant?' and after a few seconds, he finally realizes something.

'Could it be?'

He quickly walks toward the office of an Ob that he knows without minding the people that were calling his name. He pushes the door open without knocking which surprised the lady who was inside, quietly eating her lunch.

"Jesus, can't you knock, you pompous, gigolo of a CEO?" the girl said and wiped the spills of the soup from her cup ramen.

"I don't have time for your insults, Tamara," Damian says with a straight face.

"God, what is it?" Tamara says while blowing the steam off her cup ramen.

"Do you know of a patient here who just left named Amelia?" Tamara froze and looked at Damian with suspicion in her eyes.

"And why would you want to know?" she said with her eyes squinting.

"There's no need to ask, just tell me if she was here or not. And the reason" Damian demanded, now slightly irritated. His eyebrows slight furrows and he had a cold air around him.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I can't just give personal information. Especially from this patient" Tamara refuses even with intimidation from Damian.

"She's, I slept with her. Once" Damian says while exhaling deeply. He was frustrated and his curiosity was killing him.

"What?!" Tamara shouts and stood up, dropping her chopsticks.

"Why are you so surprised?" Damian asks. It was not like it was the first time Damian slept with a woman.

"So it's you!" Tamara says and points at Damian with her index finger.

Damian didn't say anything and only creases his eyebrows as if saying what-do-you-mean.

"Oh my god. What a small world" Tamara says and touches her head with both her hands as if she's gone hysterical.

"I knew you were a snake, a gigolo, and a man-whore, but I didn't know you were this bad. Oh god" Tamara continues to talk to herself like a madman.

"Tamara" Damian calls out to her with his deep voice that could reach the pits of hell and eyes so cold he could probably freeze an entire desert.

Tamara looks at Damian with sweat on her forehead. Of course, she would feel scared. Damian looked like he was about to kill somebody with his gaze.

"I-I'll tell you ok! You have the right to know anyway" Tamara says and finally sat down and calmed herself. She offers Damian to sit at the chair in front of her table but Damian refused and said,

"Spare me the long talk. Just get to the point"

"That girl, Amelia...she is pregnant. And she's a teenager which is a big problem for both of you" Tamara says with her hands intertwined with each other while placed on the table.

"Is she going to die?" Damian asks.

"No, she's completely healthy"

"Is the baby going to die?"

"That, possible, if she doesn't take care of herself and the baby, they both could die and I don't think she's going to tell her parents"

"Then, I just need to take care of her right?" Damian says and then quickly walks out of Tamara's office.

"What do you mean by that?" Tamara asks but Damian who fled in a hurry didn't get to hear it.
