Destination Unknown (Vic Fuentes) ✔️

Chapter 22

"We're having a baby!" Oli announced excitedly through the phone.

I could practically hear his mum screaming on the other end of the phone line, and it kinda made me laugh. I knew she had been looking forward to the day that she could call herself a grandmother. And it was unexpected, but it only made the surprise that much bigger for everyone.

"Well I'm not going to be sent out for anther couple of months, but actually I was thinking that this was the perfect time to take up some of my vacation hours." Oli said, smiling at me. "Well I don't know if I can, but I can always let Josh put in a good word for me. He was allowed time off as well when Abi fell pregnant."

I sat back on the couch and placed my hand on my belly. You couldn't really see anything yet; I assumed that it was way too early anyway. He or she was probably only a few weeks and still the size of a small bean. But it was there.

"Of course we're ready for it, mum." Oli said to his mother as he sat down beside me. He smiled and kissed my cheek as he listened to his mother ramble on. "No of course we haven't thought about names yet, we only found out just a few days ago. I'm sure we can come up with something- when we know, we'll know. But I have to go now, mum, love you. Bye."

Within a week of finding out that I was pregnant, Oli and I scheduled an appointment at the hospital. To say that he was excited was a bold understatement. But I was too.

"Are you both ready to see your baby?" The nurse asked with a kind smile after she finished putting the gel on my belly.

Oli sat beside me, holding my hand, and we both nodded eagerly in response. I was honestly both excited and nervous at the same time. Was this even real?

The nurse then placed the transducer on my belly and started moving it around just slightly as she focused on the monitor in front of her.

"There we go. . ." She then said as she smiled. I immediately tried sitting up a little to look at what she was seeing. "There's the head. . . and the arms. . . the legs. . ."

The nurse then turned towards us, her eyes flicking between Oliver and me. "Would you like to know your baby's gender?" She asked.

"Can you tell already?" I asked, a little surprised. She simply nodded.

Oli then squeezed my hand a little and raised it so he could kiss the back of my hand. "We'd really love to know." He said and I nodded in agreement.

We had both come to the conclusion that we wanted to know beforehand so we could be prepared. And the rest of our families were honestly just as curious as well.

The nurse then moved the monitor in our direction and held her finger to a specific part on the screen. "You're having a little baby girl."

I gasped, happy as the words rolled out of the nurse's mouth. I would've been happy either way, but to me it was some kind of clarification that there was in fact a small human being growing inside of me. And it was just amazing.

"She's so big already." I breathed as I watched the monitor in pure amazement.

"Well she's a fairly normal size for a baby of about ten to twelve weeks." The nurse then pointed out to me.

"What?"

I could literally feel my mouth fall open in shock. Ten to twelve weeks? Did she. . . did she say ten to twelve weeks?

"Is something wrong, love?" Oli then asked me, grabbing onto both of my hands this time and giving me a worried look.

"Oh-oh no, nothing's wrong, not at all." I quickly muttered.

But a lot was wrong. Or at least, a lot was potentially wrong, anyways. I did the math in my head and about ten weeks ago was the time that I was on the island with. . . oh god. However, twelve weeks ago I was still at home, so- but. . . oh god.

My mind was running a mile a minute, and at that point I completely zoned out of whatever the nurse was telling us.

Was this really possible?

Oh god, how was I going to tell Oli?

After making the next appointment, we left the hospital and went straight home. Being a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing, I immediately went to the bathroom.

Oh dear god what had I done? How in the world could I ever fix this? The worst part of it was that I couldn't even be sure of anything until she was born. How was I going to break this to Oliver? Should I tell him that this baby inside of me was possibly not even his, or should I wait it out? Oh god this was such a mess.

"You look a little stressed, love. Are you sure that you're feeling alright?" Oli then asked me as he came into the bathroom.

I nodded, letting out a bit of a shaky breath. I wasn't feeling alright at all, and I probably wouldn't for another good six months. To be really honest, I was feeling absolutely terrible.

Oli then wrapped his arms around me, lacing his fingers with mine as he placed both of our hands on my belly. "Can you even believe that our little girl is growing inside there?" He whispered happily.

I kinda forced a smile, feeling tears welling up in my eyes. But I was just too overwhelmed to hold them back.

Oli probably thought that they were tears of happiness. . . and yes I was happy that I was going to become a mother, but it was all so confusing. Vic could very well be the father of this baby, and I had no idea how Oli was going to react if that was the case.
