Chapter 6: You're Pregnant
Six weeks later.
Nick's apartment,
Cole sat down on the couch in the living room putting some documents into a file.
Nick apartment was a two bed room condo with a spacious living room and also a kitchen.
Nick walks out of the bathroom with a towel round his waist and another towel was used to dry his hair. "What are you doing?" Nick asked.
"Going for the interview," Cole replied without looking at Nick.
"This is very stupid, you are very stupid. You know that right?" Nick said.
Cole closed the file and looked at Nick and said, "probably, but I do need this job to teach me responsibility."
"Yeah responsibility, you do you, but staying home till school starts," Nick said as he puts the towel round his neck.
Cole stood up, picked up his file and car key, turned to Nick and said, "I have got to prove my Dad wrong." He turned around and left leaving Nick standing there amazed.
"Such a character," Nick shook his head and walked into his room.
Phoebe walked into the Starling Com building wearing a black suit and carrying a black channel bag.
"Good morning Miss Kane," the security man at the entrance of the building greeted.
"Morning Roy," she waved and replied.
Phoebe walked into the building,
"Morning Miss Kane," was all she heard before entering the elevator, as soon as she enters the elevator she sighs and touched her forehead.
The elevator opened and she walked out,
"Morning Miss Kane,," a slim tall beautiful girl who was about twenty years old, wearing a thight black skirt and a white shirt walked towards Phoebe.
"Morning Felecity," Phoebe replied still walking to her office. Felecity was Phoebe assistant.
"Doctor Stephanie is waiting in your office," Felecity said following Phoebe walking towards her office.
Phoebe stopped her track and held her held her head in her hand, "I totally forgot about that, she said. Then she turned to Felecity and said, "thank you very much."
Felecity nodded and smiled before saying, "also Miss Sawyer is also….. Here."
"Why is she..." Phoebe said before walking into the office.
"Miss Kane morning," Doctor Stephanie said as Phoebe entered the office.
"Morning Mrs Stephanie," Phoebe replied as she sat down on her chair. Phoebe looked around looking for Charlotte. "Where is Charlotte?" Phoebe asked
"I'm here," Charlotte said walking out of the bathroom. "Morning Phoebe," she added.
"Morning.... What are you doing here?" Phoebe asked.
"You're kidding me right?" Charlotte asked. When she saw the confused look on Phoebe face she continued, "our parents called last week, they are coming to see how things are going over here."
"Shit! I'm really sorry, I've got a lot on my mind lately and I'm not feeling too well," Phoebe said. Then she turned to Doctor Stephanie and said, "sorry for keeping you waiting….. How did the test go?"
"It's okay I wasn't in a hurry anyway," Stephanie said, then she took out a paper from her bag and said, "Miss you are totally fine."
Phoebe heaved sigh of relief.
"But," Stephanie continued, "you are really stressing yourself too much and it might affect your baby."
"I know, I've just been working really hard on...." Phoebe was saying when she paused and remembered the doctor saying Baby, "what do you mean baby? I have no baby," Phoebe said in confusion.
"I'm sorry but the test said you are six weeks pregnant," Stephanie said as she passed the paper she was holding to Phoebe. Phoebe looked at the paper in shock and gave the paper to the speechless Charlotte standing beside her.
"I'm pregnant? There should be a mistake somewhere because….." Phoebe said in disbelief.
"Actually that what I thought at first because you never mentioned you were pregnant, so I did the test two more times... But it still gave me the same results," Stephanie said.
"It's true, this test is valid you are pregnant," Charlotte said holding the test paper in her hands.
Stephanie stood up took her bag and said, "I'll be taking my leave now, if you excuse me?"
"Thank you Doctor, I really appreciate coming here," Phoebe said with a depressing tone. Stephanie walked out of the office.
Charlotte turned to Phoebe with expectations and asked, "Phoebe what's going on?"
"I don't know, I'm just as shocked as you," Phoebe replied.
"Seriously! You don't know who the father is?" Charlotte asked again.
"I….." Phoebe was about to answer her when she remembered something and her eyes widened.
"No no no no... No, it can't be, no it can't be," Phoebe said in disapproval.
What? What is no? Charlotte asked.
Phoebe turned to Charlotte and said, "I have something to tell you."
Cole stood outside the Starling Com building and sighs before walking into the building.
"Hey! Can I help you?" Roy, the security at the entrance asked.
Cole was dressed casually so he didn't look like someone who could work at the company.
"I'm sorry but I'm here for an appointment for an interview….. For a job," Cole replied.
Roy looked at him from head to toe before saying, "You're looking for a job here dressed like that?"
"Yeah it doesn't really matter how I dress…. Can I go for the interview now?" Cole said.
"Sure, good luck kid," Roy said gesturing for him to enter the building.
"Thanks," Cole said as he entered the building.
Cole went straight to the receptionist desk but no one was there, he brought out the letter sent to him and looked at it, "top floor, okay," he said to himself.
As Cole was about to walked to the elevators he heard some people complaining about something, then he walked towards them and he saw that they were all gathered around a computer that was crashing.
"Excuse me," Cole said as he squeeze his way to the computer and took the keyboard from the young man trying to fix it.
"Hey what are you doing?" The young man angrily asked.
Cole didn't answer but instead typed some codes into the system then the computer made a beep and was working well again. The young man trying to fix the computer saw this and was shocked, "it's working again!"
Cole turned around to leave when the young Man said, "wait! Who are you?"
Cole stopped and turned back and said, "my name is Cole Sa...." Cole was about say Sawyer when he remembered the Sawyer's were quite popular in Seattle the he said, "Saul, my name is Cole Saul."
"Thank you very much Mr Saul, my name is Seaman Osbourne," the young Man said.
"Seaman?" Cole asked.
"Yeah I know it's a very shitty name," Seaman said jokingly.
"Kay, you're welcome Mr Seaman," Cole said as he walked to the elevator.
"Seriously! My brother Cole? You fucked my brother Cole?" Charlotte asked angrily.
"I'm really sorry, in my defense we were really drunk, I don't even remember anything that night," Phoebe said.
"So Cole, my brother is your baby daddy?" Charlotte asked.
"I'm afraid so, he is," Phoebe replied.
"I'm gonna kill him, I'm definitely going to killing him!" Charlotte said.
Cole walked out of the elevator and went straight to the desk at the front of the only office in the floor.
"Excuse me," Cole said to Felecity who was typing on her computer.
Felecity looked at Cole from head to toe and asked him rudely, "how may I help you?"
"I'm here for a job interview, I think this is the office?" Cole replied.
"This is the general manager office, if you are here for a job interview then you are on the wrong floor, you should go back to floor thirteen for the job interview," Phoebe impatiently said.
"Okay thanks for the info," Cole said as he turned around to leave.
"Cole?" A voice called from behind.
Cole turned around and saw Phoebe standing at the office door.
"Phoebe? What are you doing here?" Cole asked smiling.
"I work here, you know the general manager of your dad and my dad company?" Phoebe said in confusion.
Felecity coughed when she heard what Phoebe just said.
This.... This is the company, the new one? Cole asked.
"Yes, I can't believe you don't know that this is the company," Phoebe said.
"No no no, I'm out of here, I'm avoiding my dad but still walking right back to him," Cole said.
"Oh no! You're not going anywhere," Charlotte said coming out of the office.
Charlotte? Okay this I can ask, what are you doing here? Cole said.
"You little punk, so had the guts to....." Charlotte was saying when Phoebe pinch her hands to stop.
"Let's talk about this inside my office," Phoebe said.
Cole immediately understood what's is going on and said, "we agreed we are not going to tell anyone about what happened."
"Let's go inside please, can we?" Phoebe said as he entered the office while Cole and Charlotte followed her behind into the office.
