"Congratulations,you're pregnant."
Emily stared blankly at the doctor,wondering if she had heard right.
"What?"
"You're pregnant." The doctor reiterated with a smile.
A ball of joy went off in her heart.
"Oh my God!! I'm pregnant..are you sure? Is this for real?"
The doctor handed over the test results to her.
"I'm sure. You're pregnant, Mrs Sterling."
She received the paper with trembling hands. It was right there.
Her eyes went over the positive remark a million times. It didn't change.
Emily jumped to her feet.
"Oh my God!! I can't believe this,I'm really pregnant."
She could feel her tears of joy threatening to spill.
The doctor only grinned at the excited woman.
"I have to tell my husband. Thank you so much."
She was almost jumping as she left the Doctor's office.
At once,she dug out her phone from her purse and dialed her husband's number.
It rang while she drummed her nails against her thighs with impatience.
One ring,two ,three and no answer.
"C'mon Wesley. Pick up" she muttered loudly.
Eager to deliver the good news,she called again.
Still no answer.
Emily sighed and scrolled through to another number.
The other end picked up on the second ring.
"Hello,Wesley Sterling's office. How can I help you?" a female voice rattled out.
"Jamie, it's me,Emily."
"Mrs Sterling." the woman answered in recognition.
"Yes, Is Wesley in?"
"No, Mr Sterling went home an hour ago."
Emily was surprised but it quickly turned to another wave of excitement.
The universe was aligning for her. It would be so much better to tell him the news in person.
"Alright.Thank you,Jamie" she said swiftly before hanging up.
It took a lot of self-control not to straight-up run towards the parking lot.
However, she managed to walk, grinning from ear to ear and not caring if people thought she was crazy.
As soon as Emily was in the safety of her car, she let out an excited scream.
It had been four years since she had married Wesley straight out of college. They had just celebrated their marriage anniversary a week ago and it was perfect.
Wesley had gone all out with the fancy dinner and expensive bracelet.
He was the perfect husband and he was about to become the perfect father.
She felt giddy. Her pregnancy was going to be the best anniversary present ever.
Emily smiled even more as she came across different billboards with Wesley's handsome face.
In bold letters, the words became replaying:
"FIVE DAYS TO THE RELEASE OF "MURDER ON THE BLOCK"."
"WATCH OUT FOR BESTSELLING AUTHOR,WESLEY- STERLING'S NEW BOOK."
The book wasn't even released yet but it had become the biggest sensation in the book community.
Fans were itching with eagerness and even the editors had predicted it was going to be his biggest book ever.
Emily felt a proud mama bear moment.
