Becky checked her bag pouring the final obstruction, but the pill wasn't there, she took the phone to hear Louis' reply.
"Louis, about that pregnancy pill, you should throw it away, you don't know who's the owner, it might be someone who dropped it accidentally."
"Yeah, you're right, I called you because you were me the entire day and so I thought, what am I saying, is not like you're the owner of the drug. I'll throw it away."
"Okay, bye now."
"Bye," Becky ended the call and with a deep sigh she breathed out in relief holding her chest, it was close for Louis to discover that she was the one and the pregnancy.
She bit her finger anxiously, she knew she couldn't hold it for long but the best idea at the moment was if she didn't know about it.
She stood up phone calling the pharmacy.
"Hey, I need the prescription I brought. Yeah, no is not like I've finished it, I just lost the product, that's it."
"Okay ma'am, we'll be on our way."
"Okay," Becky dropped her phone with thoughts surrounding her head, she tapped her feet anxiously biting her finger.
"Oh Louis, don't figure this out," she murmured subconsciously.

Mike came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, cleansing the water on his hair.
A beeping alarm sounded in his bathroom as he casually walked to the side of his bathroom touching the screen wall and revealing someone which he was not wanting to see and yes, it placed a displeased expression on his face.
His view was cold and ambiguous.
He answered the ringtone call and then his cold voice remarked his tension.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh wow," the woman folded her arms gently bringing her shades down her nose.
"So you're only willing to talk to me when I come to visit your house?"
"What do you want?"
"You, I need my son to give me explanations."
"What are you saying, mum? You should go back."
"I should go back? You've become a spoilt brat these days, don't think because you've grown up you can become rude with your mother."
"Mum, I'll make you enter but I know your intentions for this visit."
"You should be lucky is a visit and not a stay, open the door, his cold view reduced as he heaved a deep sigh and then he unlocked the door for the entrance.
His mother casually entered the house dropping her bag as she looked around for him.
"You don't have to stress, Mum, I'm here," she turned in the direction to see he was at the top of the stairs.
He walked down with cold lethal steps as his Mum forced a smile.
"Is good to see someone," his mother stated as Mike came down and then, he hugged his mother.
"What did you come to do?"
"Why? Shouldn't I come after hearing the trendy news about you and that girl on the internet?" She spoke in disgust.
"You shouldn't call her in that tone, Mother."
His mother gasped for a second recognising his rude gesture.
"What did you say?"
"Mother, you're saying these words because you don't know her."
"You've said it yourself, you've gotten my point. Why would I allow a random girl which I don't know from date my son, only God knows what has happened in her past that might come again to hunt you."
"Mother," he yelled causing his mother to jolt and shudder from the deadshot gazes he gave her, as he moved toward her, she anxiously shifted her leg backward.
"Between the both of us, you know who is good for who, and you know that she is the one who might get affected by my past. She'll be the one who'll become scared if she finds a whiff of my past but what am I doing? I'm trying to be a good person whose past does, not affect wanting to be someone better for her. Just for her so mom if that's what answers your disgust attitude, that's what you should take as a reply, and mum," he say about leaving as he turned around.
"Don't pester that girl, she's had enough already," he said and left as he made his mum shudder in remembrance of his words and tone a while ago.
He was right, he was the one who was going to affect Louis if she discovers what had happened in the past.
She sat down with a deep sigh but then she felt uncomfortable as she stood up walking to his kitchen to look at his refrigerator for a cold juice.
Taking cold milk she found in the refrigerator, she couldn't believe Mike, was he going to use his past to intimidate her?
As his mum, the only thing she wanted was someone who was going to accept Mike despite seeing his worst, and didn't want her son's heart to break.
"I just hope you're making the right decision," she subconsciously murmured taking from her cup.

Louis scrolled through her laptop looking for some information she could find about her lung disease.
She'd been researching and trying different medications that she saw on the internet which could also though she first asked her doctor if it was an appropriate prescription.
She couldn't feel the symptoms yet though she knew she didn't want to disappoint the people that she loves so it was good if researching other medications that would help would be best.
As she continued, she received a call from an unknown number and then she answered it.
"Hello," she didn't get a reply and after seconds of listening to nothing but silence, the call ended.
Louis looked at the unknown number with a frown on her face, who could possibly be calling her?
At a telephone booth, Mike's mother placed a cent in the call credit box and then she dialed Louis' number, she'd sneakily taken it from Mike's phone.
As she called her number it got answered but when she was about to speak, she stopped because of what she saw right in front of her.
She didn't dare to speak nor stutter and then she ended the call as she ran to her son with tears flowing down her eyes.
"Mike, please don't do this to yourself," she pleaded.
