Your test is positive

In the evening, Valérie arranged her husband's travel suitcase. She had a heavy heart letting him go but there was nothing she could do about it.

Since the start of their relationship, Thierry depended on her in everything. Even if they all work, Valérie earns four times more than her husband and she takes care of everything, even Thierry, without complaining.

“I’m back.” said Thierry who entered the room. Valérie left what she was doing and went to kiss him.

“You kiss me like it’s goodbye my love.” interrupted Thierry

"You're going to leave me for two months, for me it's like an eternity." replied Valérie, crying.

“My love, you break my heart when I see your tears.” said Thierry, taking her to bed.

"You have always been a source of inspiration for me, you chose me among so many rich kids and yet I had nothing. You gave meaning to my life but I never offered you anything so let me go on this mission The boss promised me a promotion when we return if I do this mission well, I will take care of you and I will give you the life you always dreamed of so stop crying. 'please.' Valérie listened to his story attentively, she approached him and kissed him on the lips. Thierry responded to her kiss with passion.

“Make love to me like it’s your last time.” claiming Valerie whispering in her ear. This excited Thierry.

“But I’m still hungry.” replied Thierry.

"We'll eat later, I want to be in your arms now." He picked her up and threw her on the bed.

They made love for hours and fell asleep.

At 10 p.m. Thierry woke up and looked for a long time at the face of his wife lying in his arms.

"I'm sorry my darling but I have to do this, it's the only way for me to ensure my offspring." he said to himself. He felt guilty for lying to her. Although he has a business trip to make, he will go there with Elena. He got up and went into the kitchen, he helped himself to something to eat to regain his strength.

The next day after lunch they all get ready to leave.

“What time is the flight scheduled?” asked Valerie.

“At eight.”

“I’ll take you to the airport.” Valerie suggested.

“No, no need, you'll be late for work and I should go to the company first to wait for the boss.” protested Thierry.

“What’s the problem if I accompany you there, we will wait for your boss and go to the airport together.” Thierry approached her and held her by her shoulders.

"I don't want you to have problems at work because of me and besides I can't bear to see your sad face when I leave. You can go to work and I'll call you when we get there."

“Okay, have a nice trip, my love.” She couldn't stop crying.

"Thank you my dear, don't cry anymore in my absence okay? Be strong I will come back to you very quickly." he said, trying his tears. She led him outside and called a taxi, she watched him leave until the taxi disappeared from her view. She returned to the living room to grab her handbag and left for work. She already missed Thierry, she felt an emptiness inside her that she couldn't even concentrate on her work all day.

Since Thierry's departure, Valérie was entitled to two phone calls in the morning and evening but as the days passed, the frequency decreased and sometimes a week without a call. Sometimes he was unreachable or he was busy now for a month and a half a week.

Lately Isabelle has been pale and not eating properly. Samira thought it might be due to her husband's absence and silence. She too was of the same opinion.

This morning she decided to call her mother.

“How are you feeling today, sweetie.” his mother replied on the phone.

“It’ll be okay mom.”

“News from your husband?”

“Unreachable for a week now.”

"You're not going to let yourself get down because of him, go see a doctor as you're not going to work today." his mother suggested.

“Mom, I’m anxious, I’m afraid of losing my husband.”

"You won't lose him, your husband is a wonderful man. He may be busy as he says."

"I hope so, mom. I'll let you have a good day."

“Also, don’t forget to go see a doctor.”

“Okay mom.”

Isabelle got up and went to take the shower. After she finished she got dressed and went to the hospital.

“You are very pale and thin, why aren’t you eating properly?” asked the doctor.

"I haven't been too hungry lately, doctor."

The doctor did some examinations and said to him, “Aren't you pregnant by any chance?”

“This is absurd doctor, I can’t be pregnant.” Valérie categorically refused.

“What do you mean absurd, aren’t you married?” asked the doctor confused.

“Of course, but I’ve been hoping to hear this news for five years.” replied Valérie disinterestedly.

“Then I need to take a pregnancy test to be sure.” He reached into his drawer and pulled out a pregnancy test. As he already had a urine sample from Valérie, he performed the test without delay.

Valérie knew that it was just a formality for her because it was not the first time that a doctor had proposed this diagnosis. She was in her thoughts when the doctor called out to her.

“Ms. Zack, your test is positive.”

“You’re joking aren’t you?” she said serenely.

"Why would I do that? See for yourself." said the doctor giving her the pregnancy test. When she saw him, her eyes widened.

"What? Are you sure your test doesn't have any problems?" asked Valérie, a little frustrated.

"Of course not, we can do the blood test to make sure."

“Do it doctor.” Valérie was excited at the idea of finally being pregnant but she didn't want to rejoice until she was sure. She waited a few more minutes before the lab results came back.

“Your HCG level is high, you are pregnant.” said the doctor.

Valérie just stood there and a stream of tears escaped her eyes. She touched her stomach and cried with joy.

“How many weeks pregnant am I?”

“According to your history, you are six weeks pregnant.”

“Thierry will be happy to hear this news.” she took out her phone and called him but was still unreachable.
