Octavia sat anxiously in the room, her hands sweating beside her.
She tried so hard to control the anxiety; tried so hard to stop herself from shaking, but she couldn't.
Tears rested on her lids at the thought of being pregnant but wanting to flush the child. The whole thing was still like a dream to her.
She sniffed and lifted her hand to her tummy, holding it tight.
Well, perhaps, Mica was right.
First, she couldn't bring herself to face Khalid and tell him she was pregnant. Secondly, she didn't think she was ready to become a mother. Hell! No way. She had no experience and wasn't in the right environment.
Thirdly, Becca...
How was she so sure Khalid would even want a child from her after she had killed his first child? And even if he did, what about Becca? Something in her guts told her the witch was never going to be at peace if she ever gets to know about the baby.
So yes, Mica is right. Terminating this
pregnancy was the best thing to do.

Shortly, the door opened and she sniffed and looked to see Mica coming in.
Oh! She had gone to make preparations for them to leave for the hospital.
Mica stood at the door and stared at her.
"Come on. It's time" she cocked her head and Octavia stood up and followed her out of the room.

Mica had been able to convince Draco to grant them access out of the premises, and with the high ranking he had, Draco was able to do it. Although, she didn't tell him their main reason for wanting to leave.
They walked for sometime and getting to the road, they boarded a cab to the hospital.
"Hey, you'll be fine" Mica placed her hand on Octavia's thighs as they sat next to each other.
She could see how tensed she was. Octavia didn't say a word but just looked away. Probably, no amount of consolation could help her at the moment.
The rest of the drive was silent with just the car's FM playing and after a long ride, they got to the hospital.
It was a smaller hospital, but Mica trusted the doctor and knew he was good at his job.
With each step they took into the building, Octavia felt herself becoming more nervous. Her hands were getting more sweaty.
They met some nurses at the reception and just when Mica was about asking after the doctor, he showed up.
"Mica" he called as he walked towards them with his medicated glasses and stethoscope around his neck.
"Hey, Cyrus" she moved away from the nurses.
"Wow! What a pleasant surprise, if I must say". He chuckled and they exchanged a little handshake.
"Um...can we make use of your office, please?" Mica asked.
"Why, of course. Of course. Please, this way"
And he led them to his office. Having enough privacy in the office, Mica explained her reason for being there.
She introduced Octavia to the doctor and explained the situation at hand to him.
The doctor understood perfectly and carried out his own test on Octavia to be sure she was indeed pregnant. And after a few minutes, the results were out and proved positive.
He asked her one more time if she really wanted to go on with the process and Octavia having no option, told him yes.
**
He gave her an injection on her butts and gave her two tiny pills afterwards to gulp down...
"You need to hurry home now before the
contraction starts. It'll be here anytime soon" the doctor said as he scribbled down something in his book.
"Thank you, Cyrus" Mica paid him the money needed and left with Octavia.

Master Klaus' Clan =)
"Master" one of the boys called as he walked into the room where Klaus was seated, reading the news.
Klaus didn't look at him, but just focused on the paper.
"We've got some news, Master. A while ago, Octavia was seen leaving the Khalid's clan with her sister".
Klaus looked quickly at him at the mention of that.
"Octavia?" He repeated. "The same b*tch that fought me and is causing a rift between Zack and Khalid?"
"Yes, Master" the boy answered ecstatically and Klaus drooped the paper in his hand to think.
"Hmph" he huffed. "Do you know where she was headed?"
"No, Master. We don't have that information".
So, the b'tch left the clan. That'd have been a good opportunity.
"Master..Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" The boy asked with a cranky smile and Klaus smirked as well.
A few seconds passed, then he said:
"Stay at alert, Troy. If she's seen leaving the clan again, let me know"

Getting home with Mica, Octavia laid on the bed to rest and await the pains the contraction.
As she laid downwards on her tummy. She could feel tears threatening to spill her eyes, but tried real hard not to let it drop.
Mica sat beside her and took her hand into hers.
"Octavia..." she called calmly.
She didn't need glasses to see through her sister's pain - brokenness.
"I'm sorry you have to go through this" she added.
A few seconds of silence passed, then Octavia asked:
"Does it hurt...really bad?"
Mica's jaws dropped instantly, but no - she couldn't bring herself to break in front of her sister.
Well...yeah, it does she sighed. There was a pause.
"How does it feel?" asked, her voice sounding so timid.
Her hand was still in Mica's.
"It um...you start feeling this pain like your intestines are rumbling, your lower abdomen would get tight and hurt a lot. Then, the bleeding... but in the end, you'll be fine" she concluded, adding a little hope.
Octavia couldn't believe she'd be facing all that. She really couldn't believe it.
"When it's done...do you think I'll be strong enough to go for camp?" She asked.
"Of course, of course. In a few days, you'll be completely fine - trust me".
Well, the camp was just around the corner and it was an event that could only happen once in a blue moon.
All the members of the X-family from different clans were to come together and in the course of the camp, a new Leader will be appointed.
So, it was the biggest and most important event that could ever happen in the X-family, and no one was permitted to miss it.
