Thankfully, Sarina's car did not have a GPS tracker on it. Otherwise we would have had to stick it on someone else vehicle to give them a run around. So instead we attached a camera to the rear back gate to pay attention to see if any one seemed to be following us tomorrow so I could try and identify them.
Sarina called and talked to Lirael, having her tell her that she had bled at first too and wasn't sure she was pregnant at first either. That it could be implantation bleeding. It helped ease some of her worries, but not all. She was more worried about another ectopic pregnancy which I could share in her concern.
The next day came and we did as Lance suggested, me in the back seat looking at the camera we had attached to the back of the car. Sarina drove and got on the freeway going the opposite direction we needed to go and was off the next exit. She hurried to the on ramp getting back on the right way and merged into traffic. We had left an hour earlier to give us some time to do this. When she got off the freeway she took back streets and added lots of turns and doubled back on a few parts before we got to her Ob/gyn. We hurry inside and we check in and wait.
They have her pee in a cup and then drink something and we have to wait for an hour for her blood and pee to be tested again. When we finally get those done, we're taken back to the exam room. We wait in tense silence until her doctor comes in.
"Hello Sarina and ah yes, Brian. Congratulations on getting married you two. Now, Sarina, you want to tell me what brings you in?" Her doctor takes a seat, opening up her file on the computer and starts typing some of the things written down.
"Well, I had a positive pregnancy test and it's only been about a week and I'm bleeding." She gives her all the other information she needs and then has her change into a gown to see what's going on.
After checking the amount of blood, she does an ultrasound and it's not long before we see a little tiny ball on the screen. Her doctor smiles at us both.
"I believe that you're experiencing implantation bleeding. This is normal and since the blood is turning brown, the bleeding seems to have stopped or at least slowed." She points to the screen and presses a button, "That is your baby and everything looks fine so far. You seem to be maybe four or five weeks by the size." She hands a picture of the ultrasound to Sarina. "Congratulations you two! You're going to be parents!"
She reassures Sarina and lets her know if she starts bleeding again she can always make an appointment and they'll see her asap or she can go to the hospital if she can't get in to the office. We thank her and leave, me in the back seat again as Sarina drives us back home. I stare at the picture of our little one in her stomach and find it hard to register that this little ball is going to be our baby. Ours.
"Brian! I think there is a car following us. White Toyota." Sarina snaps me from my thoughts and I look at the video.
I peak my head up enough to check where we are in town and tell her to take left up ahead and then a right into the shopping center.
"I want you to act like you're going in to go shopping in the market, go immediately to the bathrooms in the front though." I instruct her as she take the light to the left and then makes a right into the shopping center. The white car follows us and Sarina parks slightly off to the front of the store. This gives us a chance to get a perfect view of the person in the car who's wearing sunglasses but can still make out his features.
"Go, babe. I'll text you as soon as I notice he goes inside."
Sarina nods, and walks quickly inside. I sit paying attention for guy to get out and when he does, my blood boils. It's the same mother fucker who came into my office. I carefully watch him on the camera as he approaches the store and I'm grateful for the dark tint of our windows as he walks by. He doesn't look inside the car but walks into the store front. I immediately text Sarina that he's inside. Another minute later Sarina comes out her hair is now up instead of down and she's turned her jacket inside out that's a different color than the outside portion. She hops in and hurries driving out of the parking lot.
"Good job babe. Now, you need to circle around and drive and zig zag from the area and find a place to park like a busy restaurant." I pull up on the map where she can go and instruct her the route to go. We make our way to the restaurant while I'm watching like a hawk on the screen.
"I'm going home, Brian. This is too much. It's stressing me out." Sarina says after a few minutes.
I look up at her and nod, "Alright babe, I'm just letting you know, it was the same guy that brought those pictures into the office."
"DO WHAT?!" She immediately pulls over and as soon as she does, she turns to me, fire in her eyes, "I'm going back. Let that motherfucker follow me. I'm going to have some fucking fun with this shit."
I grin, "What did you have in mind?"
"You know what? I think we will go home, I'm going to need back up for this to work well."
The smile on her face has me questioning her sanity at the moment.
When we arrived back home she decided to tell me what she thought. She and Lirael or Amanda could go to the mall, hitting up all the lingerie stores and sex stores, seeing how close he would get. Then afterwards, they could go to a male strip club and if they were followed inside they could tell security that they noticed a guy following them.
"I think Lirael will be the one who should go with you, maybe even Alyssa." I suggest since Amanda was into girls, she'd be less inclined to go to the male strip club.
"You're right, I'll call up Alyssa first."
It didn't take long before Alyssa and Lirael were over with the kids and Lance, leaving us with the kids to watch while they went out.
"Should we have Simon or Scott go with them?" I ask Lance, since he would know who was working. They seemed to be having a blast getting ready, being giggly and doing each others hair.
Lance sighs, "Depends do you want a bad influence going with them or a bad-er influence?"
"You're right. We'll send Simon. Scott will be trying to get on the stage with the male dancers."
"Only because Simon has probably slept with a few of them." Lance pops back and we burst in laughter, causing the girls to pop their heads out.
"What's so funny?" Lirael asks, eyeing us with a probing brow.
Lance shifts in his seat, uncomfortable excitement building in the tension of his muscles, "We thought Simon should go with you guys."
Lirael's eyes brighten, "That's a great idea! I'll call him up!"
Lance leans over and ask quietly, "So how did the doctors visit go?"
I can't help the grin that fills my face, "Everything looks fine, here." I get up and grab the sonogram picture, "Our first picture of the little one."
"Trust me when I say, it's the first of many to come my friend." Lance chuckles as baby Richard makes his way crawling his way over to his daddy.
"Look at you bud! You crawled so far!" Lance picks Richard up making him giggle.
The twins are also wiggling their butts, crawling to check everything out slowly, pushing themselves up and down when they get excited.
Alyssa comes out, looking beautiful. She looked almost as done up as on her wedding day to David.
"You look very nice, Alyssa. I'm glad you're going out with them." I try to put a smile on her face, knowing that ever since David passed that certain light in her eyes has dimmed.
She smiles warmly, "Thank you Brian. Thank you very much for watching the kids for me to go. You sure that you guys will be fine? The twins can be a lot just for two people. Richard I know gives you two a run for your money." Alyssa says turning to Lance.
We both scoff in unison, "We got this."
Lirael pokes her head out long enough to shout, "Famous last words!" before pulling her head back in and returning to whatever they're doing.
