#Chapter 18 (Arina) – The Announcement
“Oh my god!! You’re what?” Jessica cooed on the other end of the phone.
“Pregnant…” I told her, my voice sounding hollow. “I haven’t been feeling well lately. I thought it was something I ate. But then this morning, I couldn’t transform.”
“Arina! That’s huge news!!” Jessica screamed happily. My fingers were trembling as I gripped the phone, and I was trying to hold back the tears that wanted so desperately to fall from my eyes.
“I haven’t even told Jonathan yet,” I breathed.
“What? Why not? He’s going to be thrilled,” she assured me.
“But what if he’s not? It’s too soon. I don’t think either of us is ready yet,” I told her.
With the way things are going currently, with Rock and my job, adding a baby to the mix seems like a lot. But Jessica seems so happy and so sure that Jonathan would be thrilled. So maybe she was right.
