HER UNDYING LOVE ✔

Chapter 40

***FOUR MONTHS LATER**

ALEXA'S POV:

It's been four months since I moved away from Danny's, sorry Daniel's house. My pregnancy was now visible.
With Ethan's help, I was able to buy an apartment where I live now.

So far I can say my life is great, I now work in a school near my house just so I can pay my bills and it's another form of getting my mind off Daniel.

I wore a black pencil skirt with a silk white blouse and flat shoes to work today. I wasn't really feeling well, the morning sickness and strange food cravings were gone but now I had mood swings, and my body has been needy for a man's touch and it's seriously pissing me off.

"Hello Alexandra" Philip my co-teacher greeted me

"Hi, you're early today" I smiled warmly at him

"Yeah, I thought maybe you haven't had your breakfast so I decided to bring you some" he extended a bag to me. Ok I know that look, there's nothing between us although Philip has already established his interest in me known to me. He knows that I was still married but he said that he's willing to wait till I'll give him a chance. His words not mine

"That's very thoughtful of you Philip but..." I tried declining

"Please don't refuse, I put in a lot of effort in making this for you. Please don't reject it, please I beg you"

"Fine" I said defeatedly. He smiled warmly and offered the food to me brushing the tip of my hands in the process. This little action was enough to send a tingling spark through my body. Darn this hormones

I took it from him and went on with work. My life went on and on like this for months, with no words from Daniel. I sometimes visit little Ash, which gives me enough time to catch up on the latest news about daniel from Suzzy and Ethan.

I sometimes cry myself to sleep thinking about him, he isn't with me to experience my strange food cravings or my mood swings. Even the first time my baby kicked, he wasn't here to experience such joyous moments of my life. I don't hate him for any of this, I just feel alone and it has become a part of me now.

Philip has been supportive, he was there when my baby kicked for the first time, he helped take me to the hospital for my check ups. He was truly an amazing guy, I'm only sad that I won't be able to give him what he wants, a chance. But, that hasn't stopped him from being nice to me.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months and before I knew it, it was already nine months. I was already ready to put to bed anytime soon and I was so scared.

I was busy eating pancakes that Philip had made for me. He became my personal chef. We were both eating pancakes in my kitchen when I got up to take some juice from the kitchen. Suddenly, I peed on myself

"Oh my God" I gasped as my eyes buldged out.

"What's wrong?" Philip was immediately alert. I looked down at my wet legs

"My water just broke" I said still in a state of shock

"Oh my God, what does that mean? What do we do? Do I call the doctor? Should I give you a pillow? What do I do? What do I do?" He started panting, pacing up and down like he was the pregnant woman

"Relax Philip, deep breath" I was the one pregnant but he was the one in a panic mode "please take me to the hospital" I stated as I started feeling a slight pain and heaviness in my waist

"Ok, let's go" he placed my hand around his shoulder and held me with his other hand as he carefully walked me to the car

***** In the hospital****

"Doctor" Philip called out as we got to the hospital. I could already feel the pain

"Philip quickly, go call the doctor" he ran into the hospital while I brought out my phone and called Suzzy

"What's up boo?" I heard Ash crying in the background

I took deep breaths "it's coming Suzzy, my baby" those were the only words I could say before Philip came with some nurses and they immediately put me on a stretcher carrying me into the ward

I couldn't push, it was too hard. I didn't have enough energy to do it. I wished Daniel was here, but he wasn't. I didn't even know when I started crying until the doctor spoke up

"Miss Alexandra I'll need you to push, unless you want to kill your baby" fear immediately gripping me as suzzy, and Philip burst into the labor room

"Listen boo, just like you thought me, we can do this" Suzzy encouraged holding my hand

"I'm here for you Alexandra, you can do this" Philip said beside me

"Madam, I'll need your friend to push or we'll be forced to do a caeseran section" the doctor said

"Come on boo, you got this" taking deep breaths, I pushed harder than ever with all my strength.

My energy was drained, I didn't know if I had done it or not until I heard the crying of a baby. With one finally sigh, I fell into a state of unconsciousness.

****THREE HOURS LATER****

"Doctor how is she?" I heard someone asking the doctor in my sleep

"She's stable now, there was a little complications in her pregnancy because her blood pressure was raised. I guess she was thinking too much but right now she and the baby are fine" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding

"Oh thank God. What about that thing I asked you to do for me?" The person asked

"We have done it, the results will be out in a few days time do not worry" what are they talking about

"Thank you doctor. Please don't tell anyone about the bills and all if they ask, just say that it's charity" who is this? Why can't I open my eyes? They feel so heavy. I didn't hear the last words before I fell asleep again
