She was stung at the young maid’s statement. “No, it can’t be.” She wasn’t sure which had stung her more. The statement that Harold had fucked her, or the fact that she was pregnant.
Sandra tried hard to think. “I don’t believe you.” Sandra said.
“I’ll show you the pregnancy test. I went to the doctor’s last week and found out.” Sally stated.
“Whatever that doesn’t mean it’s Harold’s baby.” Sandra fought to keep control of her emotions.
“Ask him and see if he tells you the truth. I always here you two saying how you’ll never lie to the other one. See if he’s true to his word or not. Because if he is he’ll tell you he did fuck me.” Sally said.
Sandra left the girl standing there. She had to think this out. The girl was too much of a distraction. She was trying to make sense of it all. Because no matter how hurt she was. It was different she knew it was.
Harold hadn’t cheated on her. They hadn’t had their meeting yet. They hadn’t told each other that they loved one another. “No it isn’t the same as Jason.” She screamed out.
Calling Harold she had to know the truth. He didn’t pick up but his assistant Bruce did. “Hey Sandra, I’m sorry he’s in the middle of the meeting right now.” Bruce told her.
“Oh I forgot about that. I’m sorry Bruce. How much longer do you think he’ll be?” Sandra asked.
There must have been something in her voice that made him wonder if she was okay or not. “Is it an emergency Sandra? I can interrupt him.” Bruce commented.
Sandra didn’t answer right away. The next thing she knew she heard Harold’s voice. “Sandra, are you okay? What’s wrong? Sandra please answer me.” He heard the worry in his voice.
“Harold, I’m pregnant and so is Sally.” Sandra said and collapsed crying.
Chapter 23
Harold heard her tell him. “Harold I’m pregnant and so is Sally.” Then he didn’t hear anything but her crying.
“Bruce I have to go. My wife needs me and I will not put anything in front of her, ever. Finish the meeting, give my apologies, and just make it better. Hell I’m the owner, if I can’t leave early, who can.” He stated and ran out the door.
Harold was panicked. He didn’t know how she was taking the news of Sally. Harold had honestly forgotten all about the one afternoon of sex. He didn’t know she was pregnant, hadn’t thought of any precautions at the time or after it.
But here he was learning about it from his wife. Who was also pregnant? Harold was so happy, but yet so worried at the same time. He hated the conflicting emotions he was feeling.
Worst of all he knew that Sandra was going through too many things in her mind too. She needed him right now and he had to get there.
“Get me home last minute.” He said to his driver.
“Yes sir.”
Harold hated the feelings of being lost that came over him on the way home. “Oh my God, please don’t let her leave me?” He prayed out. The trip seemed to be endless.
As soon as they were in the driveway he was out the door, running inside. He didn’t stop until he was beside her.
“I’m here baby. I’m sorry it took so long.” Harold looked down at her. She was a mess. Her eyes were swollen from crying.
“It was before you. Honestly, I don’t want anyone but you. I will never even look the way of another female. I love you and only you. Please don’t leave me.” Harold pleaded with her.
She looked up into his eyes. “I know Harold. I really do. I’ve already thought it out. Really I’m crying so much because I realized just how much you loved me. I can’t believe it sometimes it is just so overwhelming.” Sandra said to him tears dripping down her face.
“Oh baby. I would do anything in this world for you. Don’t ever doubt that. I’m so happy I met you and you told me how it was!” Harold laughed.
“Me too honey. So what are we going to name our babies?” Sandra asked.
“Babies?” Harold asked confused.
“Yes we will raise your and Sally’s baby as our own too! Why not, it’s not fair for that baby to not have you as a father. If we have to we’ll just pay her off.” Sandra stated.
