Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security – John Allen Paulos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t know how long I held on to my breath but all I could say is that the test was inconclusive.
I should be relieved right? I should be .. I said at the back of my head
If your test is inconclusive, the tester has one of two options. I can buy another test and retest myself or I can choose to confirm any results with my licensed physician.
If I choose the former option, it is recommended that I buy another test and perform it during the morning, when the pregnancy chemical is most potent.
I sighed through my nose once again, but this time it was due to defeat rather than anything else. I hadn't gotten a confirmation or a denial which means, all these things left me still unsure.
I was the type of person who tended to stress out about things until I knew their outcome, usually bringing my relief rather than more stress.
I had worked on this and had become better accustomed to going with the flow, but at present, my newly acquired skill set seemed to be going out the window.
However, before I let myself get upset, I heard a knock coming from the bathroom door
“Nina? Are you done? What’s the result?”
I forced myself to focus on what I had to do next. And what I had to do right then was to make an appointment with my doctor as soon as possible.
“I’m coming out in a minute” I shouted back
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about twenty minutes on the phone and a conversation with the nurse who answered the phone, I had appointment for the next day at three o'clock that afternoon.
Now all I had left to do was to wait for the result and pray on whatever the outcome is, Iñigo would take the news well.
“Well? Have you called him yet?” Meg asked as she sat on one of those chairs near the kitchen island
I was making my self busy making pancakes for some afternoon snack and eventhough I knew who she was pertaining to .. I still minded it off and pretended I don’t know “Who?” I asked while Meg just grunted from behind.
“Come on, Nina. Don’t tell me you’ll keep it from him?”
“Wala pa namang dapat sabihin kasi all these things are yet uncertain.” I reason out and laid a plate of pancakes on the table
I poured a maple syrup on top of the pancakes and then offered it to Meg who just watch me with this expression you could barely read “Want some?”
“Are you bribing me, Fernandez?” She said and then crossed her arms on top of her chest
I shrugged “I don’t know what you’re talking about” and then stuck my tongue out
“Nina, You know I couldn’t resist your pancakes and offering me this means you wanted me to shut up.. nasty bitch!” She said while pointing the fork at me
“Hoy! Kung maka-akusa ka ah!” I sat across her and started chuckling
“Pero, Nina..” Her tone began trailing off in a serious rhythm
“Whatever the outcome is .. I’ll always be here for you”
The way it came out of her lips made me realize how lucky I am to have her. It’s like im getting all emotional watching her smiled at me that way, assuring me that it’ll be alright soon
“Thanks Meg”
and then a tear fell to my eye
All these preggy rendezvous making me emotional
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Meg decided to be absent for her work just to accompany me on my way to Dr. Jimenez, a gynecologist whom Meg recommended considering she was a distant relative on her mother’s side
Meg grabbed my hand and squeezed before we slid out of her car
“Kaya mo to, Nina” she said with a smile
We got to the building about a thirty minutes early in order to fill out any and all necessary paperwork, insurance forms, and the likes.
By the time I was called to get examined, familiar face showed up exiting the door.
“Nina?! Of all places I could bump into you”
A man in his late 20’s uttered as he gave me that megawatt smile of his. Standing a few feet taller, Kaifer wasn’t alone entirely .. on his right a woman about his age ,whose looks could be compared to that of Kristine Hermosa's, was wrapped around protectively in his arm
“Nina, this is my wife .. Vivienne” Kaifer gestured me to the woman right next to him who
projects those of unusually angelic faces you could ever laid your eyes with. She smiled genuinely flashing me her worth a thousand smile
“Love, this is.---”
“Yeah” He was cut off by Vivien herself “It wouldn’t take seconds to recognize her since, unlike you who kept himself busy with his other women..”
She scowled her own husband, rolled her eyes before she turn her head back to me “I actually watch TV and heard about her being Iñigo’s charming girlfriend.. ”
And then she smiled again alternating her frowns awhile ago and pulled that angelic face I first saw her with “Hi, I’m Vivienne Aguirre-De La Merced.. although it may sound better to drop the De La Merced part.. I think it may do for now. Nina right?”
“Yes, Nina Fernandez”
“Dr Jimenez is my OB too.. are you here for a visit? Are you, by any chance preg--”
Just when Vivienne was about to finish, the door went completely a jar right before us
A lady, whom I think was a nurse in charge, came out of the door with her chart “Miss Nina Fernandez?”
“Right here” I waved my hand which right away caught her attention
“Dr. Jimenez said you could come in now.. Right this way, Ma’am” She gestured me to the white door with a flash card hanging ‘the doctor is in’
“We should hang out some time but for now, we better go, Right Kai?” Vivienne uttered
“Yeah. See you around, Nina”
before I grab on to the knob and turn it, I glanced back to the other side of the room. Through the glasses window, I could see Meg sitting around while she smiled
I smiled back when I watch her mouthed “Kaya mo yan!” while her two thumbs were held up
“Kaya ko to!!” I told my self before finally facing Dr. Jimenez
Kaya ko ba talaga?
Before I could entertain the answer to that particular question, Dr. Jimenez walked in. She was well into her forties, but had a brilliant smile and looked young for her age.
"Ah, Miss Fernandez right?" she said as she glanced down at her paperwork. After a moment, she looked up to me with friendly brown eyes.
I couldn’t even utter a single word so I just nodded at her
“Alright.. Let’s get you to a few test and we’re ready to go”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I waited fearfully on the hospital bed as my heart seeming like it was beating 10 times as fast as it should. I felt like I could just have a heart attack right now.
I fidgeted slightly, playing with my fingers nervously it was a habit I have whenever I’m nervous as crack and stealing a glance at the clock subsided it a little
4:37 pm.
"Miss Fernandez"
My head instantly snapped towards the nurse in shock, making the nurse jump slightly.
"Oh... sorry." I said, biting my own lower lip. "...So what's the result?"
The nurse looked at me, her face forming a weird expression seeing as she wasn't sure if she should be happy or not. She handed the board to me, which I took shakily, my eyes closing momentarily before I scanned the board.
My breath caught in my throat as I finished reading it down and I dropped the board, in view of the fact that my hands were shaking in disbelief. Tears formed in my eyes and I gasped, bringing a hand to my mouth, my tears now spilling from my disbelieving raven orbs.
"...It's positive." I whimpered before my vision went blank
