" Congratulations Mrs smith your pregnant". The Docter said with a warm smile upon his face as he looked at Amanda. But Amanda was still in shock at hearing his words " Is this some kind of joke?, I can't be pregnant my last Docter said I lost my fertility after my Accident" she said.
The Docter gave her an Apologetic smile." I'm sorry to hear that, but I've just received your test results and it says your four months pregnant". He said leaning back in his chair. " I'm pregnant," she said in disbelief as her hand went to her stomach " I'm going to be a mother? She asked with tears in her eyes.
The Docter smiled again " yes Mam you're going to be a mother," he said smiling again." I'm sure your husband will be thrilled," the doctor said. Amanda tensed as her hands tightened in sudden anger. She did have a husband, but he divorced her for his secretary. They were married for six years, For six long year's she devoted her life to him.
They were happy at first but after her accident that caused her to have to go through extensive surgery, The Doctors said she wouldn't be able to have children. After that her husband became distant and cold, a completely different man from the man she fell in love with at college.
He suddenly became busy all the time, always going on business trips, when it wasn't business trips, all the time he would come home smelling of other women's perfumes.
Amanda tried to bear with it as difficult as it seemed and for the most part she succeeded. But when she found out that her sister that was working as his personal Secretary had been sleeping with him. She sighs as that dreadful memory she's tried so hard to bury deep down came rushing back to the surface.
Four months ago
Amanda's heels clicked against the marble flooring as she walked towards the receptionist's desk. She carried a picnic basket with all his favorite foods that she spent the entire morning preparing.
The receptionist smiles as she saw Amanda. " Good morning Mrs.Bank's how may I help you?" The receptionist smiled. " Good morning Stephanie, I'm just here to deliver something to my husband is he here?" She asked politely.
" Let me check for you give me a minute," she said as she went to her computer. Amanda looked around sharply dressed men and women going about their business." It seems he's in a video conference and isn't available at the moment, would you like me to send him a message telling him that you're here waiting for him in the Lobby?" Stephanie asked.
" Yes I would appreciate that thank you," Amanda said. " Give me a moment," She said going dialing his number. " Yes Sir I'm sorry for disturbing you, but Mrs Bank's is in the Lobby waiting for you, yes sir I'll inform and send her up immediately," Stephanie said hanging up the phone.
" MR Bank's says he'll be down shortly" Stephanie said to Amanda. Amanda smiled gratefully" Thank you and by the way how's your son doing? the last time I saw him was at the children's Hospital fundraiser" She said.
" He's doing fine Mrs Bank's, He's staying with his grandmother" Stephanie said. Amanda smiled but her smile slowly faded as she saw her husband walking towards her.
With his hands wrapped around her Sisters's waist both of their clothes looking rumpled and wrinkled. " What's going on here?" Amanda asked. Her husband looked at her coldly " What does it look like, I'm holding unto my Fiance" he said coldly.
" Fi... Fiance?" Amanda managed to say. " Yes me and Nathon are engaged" Emma said holding up her hand showing off her sparkling engagement ring.
The assembled crowd began to whisper and point. Amanda stood their feeling her blood running cold. " How can the both of you be engaged when where both still married?" She said. " Are we?' Nathon asked smugly crossing his arms over his chest while looking at Amanda. Noticing her confused expression he continued. " you remember those papers I had you sign the other night, they where divorce papers so me and you aren't married well not anymore".
Amanda stood there completely shocked. How could her own sister do this to her, her sister that she had to work two jobs in order to take of, her sister that she raised when her mother passed away from cancer. How could her own sister betray her like this?.
Tears fell from her eyes as she choked back a sob. " how could you do this to me the both of you? Haven't I given you both everything you've both wanted?" She said. Nathon scoffed " Have you?" He asked.
" You know i would have given you a baby if I was able to" Amanda said. Nathon gave her a cold stare " and yet you can't, can't you that's why I found someone who can" he said wrapping his arms around Emma once more.
Amanda looked at her sister shocked as she saw her place her against her stomach with a smug and provocative smile on her face. Looking around at the assembled crowd she saw various emotions. Some were laughing while pointing at her, while others had pity in their eyes. Nathan kissed Emma on the forehead then looked at his ex-wife coldly. " so that's it then five years just thrown away like it was nothing" Amanda said.
" I'm done having this conversation leave before I call security" Nathon said coldly. Amanda spun around and began walking towards the glass sliding doors when Nathon suddenly called out.
" Oh by the way Amanda just so you know all your things have been donated to a charity" Nathon said. Amanda stopped and tightened her fist in anger. " you heartless bastard" she said coldly while glaring at him. As much as she wanted to give him a piece of her mind she decided she was going to be the bigger person and walk away.
" Amanda" she heard Emma chasing after her as she marched through the parking lot towards her parked car. " Amanda would you just listen" Emma said. Amanda stopped and turned around glaring at her younger sister coldly.
" What do you want?" She asked coldly. " would you just stop and listen to what I have to say" Emma said. " This should be good," Amanda said crossing her arms over her chest. " Look I didn't mean for this to happen ok, and I hope that when my baby is born they can count on their aunt?" Emma asked tears pooling in her arms pleading with Amanda to understand. Amanda's eyes softened for a moment before she remembered this was her sister's tactic ever since they were kids.
She narrowed her eyes at Emma " Save me the crocodile tears Emma, I know all your tricks" she said voice ice cold. Emma chuckled as she wiped away her fake tears. " you've caught on pity that it had to end this wasy sis" she said with a Shrug.
" We were never Sisters Emma, no sister would betray her family by doing what you did" Amanda said. Emma rolled her eyes while giving a mock pout.
" come on Amanda your acting like it's my fault, I might be prettier than you but you that's not why Nathon cheated on you" Emma said she then continued without mercy. " It's because your broken Amanda, you're a friutless tree that couldn't give Nathon's family what they wanted it's no wonder that even though his mother knew about our Affair she kept it hidden from you," Emma said coldly.
Amanda felt her heart shattered even more. She always believed That her mother in law loved her, but if she could keep such a big secret hidden from her what else could she be hiding" she thought to herself
" Anyway I'm getting bored with this conversation" Emma said flipping her long blond hair while strutting away from her sister. She tossed a arrogant smile over at her sister. " See you later Sis," she said then walked away.
Leaving Amanda alone to mend her Broken heart.
