She held up her Maxi skirt and sniffed, it felt like it would take her a million years to pack her bag for her trip...or rather The family trip. Rosaline threw the skirt on her bed and let out a frustrated sigh.
She'd always hated the idea of spending the summer at the Campbell's...but with the state she was in,this trip was probably what she needed..
A break from it all,.... work, city friends,social life, Toby.
If anyone,even if it was a psychic,had told her ,her marriage would end in
shambles she would've laughed it off and call the person an hater.
Rosaline sniffed again....the air was probably getting a bit tight and stuffy,that would explain why tears were streaming down her face.
"Female hormones are the worst,I think my period is coming" She told Juicy ,her gold fish.She gave a water bubble in response.
"I knew you'd never leave me-" Rosaline "-unlike some lowlifes that are probably going to rot in hell,it's not like I care or because I love him that I'm talking like this,I'm just angry. Like..hell...where did I miss it??" She buried her face in her hand.
Flashes of the moments she had with Toby ran through her mind.
She threw her head back and forth then came to an abrupt pause.
She scoffed "Toby..what a stupid name".
Her doorbell rang,she stood up quickly and staggered back ,then blinked before she regained her balance and went to answer the door.
Who could it be...I didn't order anything
She squinted her eyes trying to remember if she did order anything that was arriving at the time.
She looked through the peephole to check who it was. It was a Delivery man.She opened the door.
"Good day ma'am-" The man looked bit terrified but he quickly wiped it off his face"-Are you Mrs Johnson?"
Rosaline frowned "Yes"
" Okay,this is your package from Cedars-sinai-"He handed her an envelope"-Sign here,please".
She signed, even though she was not sure of what was going on.
"Thank you ma'am,have a lovely day"
"I won't say the same to you" She shut the door then opened it again.
"Sir,I'm so sorry. What I mean is you too..have a nice day cause I'm not so sure I would"
"That's understandable "He chuckled and entered the elevator
He's cute for an old m-....What the hell...Ros!.
She threw the envelope on her bed and sat beside it. She looked at it ,it was addressed to her and Toby.
What could be in it?
She took a deep breath ,then tore off the seal.
"This better be good" She told herself.
Cedars-sinai...She was sure she'd heard that name before.
She took out a slip and a medical report,then she reached for her glasses on the pillow.
She rubbed the tip of her nose,an habit she picked up when she got her lenses recommended. It made her feel less old, because the glasses made her feel like an old woman.
Being 34 was no joke for a woman, especially one like herself, a divorcee with no kids. Rosaline thought as she read through the report
Pregnant.....Wait..what...who??
"This cannot be happening" She said ,her eye caught her reflection in the vanity mirror,she burst out laughing.
Then she remembered the look in the delivery man's face when he saw her.
Her laugh intensified,her face was flushed,the vein on her head potruded.
Tears rolled down her cheek,she threw the report across the floor.
"I'm screwed".
