Revenge Deal With The Devil-Chapter 92: RUMORS

"You’re late miss Manika." The gynecologist looked at Amelia with a stern gaze on her face.

"I’m sorry doc, it won’t happen again, I just had the sudden urge for ice cream so I had to stop by the way to get some." Amelia said adjusting her glasses nervously as she felt embarrassed that she could control her urges and ended up being late to the doctors appointment.

"What ever, just make sure not to be late again." The doctor warned looking at the check board in front of her, "Lie down." She ordered Amelia turning away to wear her gloves and pick up some stuff.

"You are not here with the baby’s father, he should know by now." The doctor said as she wore her gloves in her hands going closer to Amelia.

"We are not together anymore." Amelia stated simply closing her eyes, she did not want to talk or think about Damon at this moment, she had to think of good things and stay healthy for the baby.

The doctor thankfully was able to read Amelia’s mood and decided not to say anything about it again.

"Raise your shirt up, and prepare yourself what I am applying is going to be cold." The doctor forewarned as she poured the substance that was inside the bottle that she had picked up earlier unto her hands and started to rub it all over Amelia’s tummy.

Amelia hissed at the sudden coolness she felt from the gel like stuff, "So what do you want to do now?" Amelia asked curious about why she was being slithered with such cold substance.

"Well, I want to do an ultrasound and also you get to listen to the baby’s heart beat." The doctor announced causing Amelia’s heart to skip a beat, "Isn’t it a bit early to check the baby’s heartbeat?" She asked feeling like she was not ready, what about if something happened to this baby too, the heartbeat would probably haunt her for her entire life, no think positive Amelia, told her self trying to zero down all negative thoughts.

"Just relax, I know what I’m doing, besides you would soon be entering your third month soon, so it’s a little bit safe I guess." The doctor shrugged as she picked up something that looked like a roll on but it had a wire connected to the machine in the room.

Amelia was beyond nervous, she gripped the sheets tight as she felt the roll on like stuff moving on her belly.

"Open your eyes miss Manika." The doctor rolled her eyes wondering why Amelia was acting like that so she decided to try and calm her down by talking to her.

"So it’s your first time huh?" The doctor asked an obvious question just to calm Amelia nerves.

"Kinda." Amelia said simply referring to her baby in her past life.

"Oh, must be overwhelming then but I think you need to see this." The doctor said gesturing to the monitor which held the developing fetal image.

Amelia felt her heart race seeing the picture of the baby inside her, her hands unconsciously went towards her stomach but was beat away by the doctor.

"No touching." The doctor said clicking her tongue, Amelia felt embarrassed ar being caught doing something like that.

"Can I get those pictures?" Amelia asked unsure, she could not believe that she was carrying such a tiny little life in her and it was hers and Damon even if he wasn’t here, happy thoughts Amelia, she said to her self.

"Of course, sure." The doctor said feeling relieved that Amelia was somewhat comfortable now.

"And now for the heart beat." The doctor announced pressing harder on Amelia tummy moving the device around abd the sound Amelia heard made her eyes water almost immediately.

It was her child’s heartbeat, it carried a soft beating and was so pleasing to the ear, she wanted to share this moment with someone but she does not even have anyone to call her own.

"Can I record this?" Amelia asked the doctor through tears, her hormones were probably acting up again because why was she crying when no one did anything to her.

"Errm, miss you record it no need to cry." The doctor gave out a hearty laughter, many pregnant burst into tears at this moment and turn to their husbands asking them if it was a dream and whether the baby’s heart beat they were hearing was real but this woman just laid there alone, nobody to turn to, she wondered how many emotions where being bottled up inside her.

After the examination Amelia went to the counselling room to listen to the lectures that was being held for pregnant women, to her amazement she saw many women there with big bellies and their husbands supporting them.

Amelia rubbed her belly wondering whether it would grow as big as that in future, she looked for a place to sit down and listened to the lecture carefully eventually taking out a book from her bag in order to take notes so that she would not forget she listened with rapt attention so that she would not miss out on anything.

After the lectures, Amelia tided up her things and stood up to leave, as she walked through the hallways she started to hear whispers that angered her deeply.

"I heard that her husband was a drug lord and was killed during a police raid." A pregnant lady whispered to another as they all speculated why Amelia has been coming for antenatal the past few days without any man or any one by herself to help her.

"People say she is the mistress of a rich man so he threw her off as soon as she got pregnant, that is why she is able to drive such a luxurious car on her own, who knows how many men she had slept with decieving everyone with that her nerdy look, she is just a whore in disguise." Another lady snorted.

Amelia turned deaf ears to what they were saying and clutched her hand bag then adjusted her glasses leaving the hospital trying to be calm and not go all crazy on those women, especially those that said Damon was dead, how could he be dead, he was the devil, killing him was like trying to get a cow to give birth to a horse, impossible.

Amelia angrily strapped in a seat belt as she zoomed out off the hospital too angry to make a stop at any place and headed home directly.

She sighed kicking off her shoes as she slumped directly on the couch, she really needed a break from all those snorty women at the hospital, this was not the first time they go about saying shitty things about her being a whore, the funniest one was that she was a sex slave to a mafia lord and when she got pregnant she was dumped, like sho in the world even started those darn rumors.

"Enough about them Amelia, think of what you are going to eat tonight." She said out loud doing her usual habit of running her hands through her hair, since she was a bad cook, cooking was out of option, so she decided to order food from a highly rated restaurant that was good with what they do and was also sanitary when it comes to cooking.

She went through the menu wondering what she would it and eventually ordered steak, at least that was what she felt like it at the moment.

Amelia just finished a hacking job when she heard the door bell, she opened up and it was the delivery boy, she happily gave him the money and collected her long awaited steak settling down to eat it.

After eating Amelia took a shower and laid down on her bed wearing a bathrobe, as she lazily scrolled through feeds laughing any time she came across a meme or any thing funny when all of a sudden she paused her mind going back to the baby’s heart beat.

She went to her playlist and played it as her heart swelled with emotions listening to the beating, and there was this urge to share it with someone that it would be relevant to.

Before thinking twice, Amelia whipped out her laptop and after minutes of coding she sent the audio file to Damon making sure the number she used was well encrypted, he was the father of the child, he deserved to hear the heart beat of the child as much as she did.

After that Amelia contemplated on whether or not she should said the picture too but decided against it, she should not go overboard and get carried away this was going to be the last time this was going to happen.

Amelia stared at the baby’s picture for a while before using her hands to caress it, "I hope you and your father ends up forgiving me for separating you two before you met, Mama did it for the best." She said as tears dropped from her eyes and it went on to a large scale sobbing, that night she slept with the picture in her arms.
