Erica's POV

Me being as tired as I've been weak but the sickness poorly have gone away for a few days now. It haven't been any sign of it, but Shaheer has insisted that he'll look after me, not let me go anywhere by myself.

Today Shaheer is gonna go over to shooting while Ifraah is coming over here. He've asked if I wanna come several times but I've been saying "no", he can't look after me absolutely all the time.

The bad thing is though, this morning I've begun to feel a wierd and uncomfortable urge of nausea, and a massive headache is most likely on it's way. He is going in about 15 minutes, and it's exactly today he shouldn't have gone to be honest. I'll not say anything to him, I'll have Ifraah here anyway, but I'll try to hide it as far as it goes.

I laid on the couch and Shaheer had seen that I didn't look too good, he was clearly right but I said it was nothing. I meant that he need to go to the shooting, he cant leave his work for me.

"Erica are you sure?" he asked me, sitting down looking at me caringly. The tiredness got worse and worse, it came once again, but I needed to let go of him for the day.

"Just go Shaheer, I promise. Ifrah will be here" I answered looking up at him. He went down giving me a peck on the lips, before disappearing downstairs and out the door, looking extremely worried.

A really bad headache mixed with my tiredness isn't a good combination at all. I began to feel extremely dizzy all of a sudden. Completely without any warning everything went black..

I opened my eyes slowly, looking at Ifrah sitting down on her knees looking worryingly straight at me.

"Oh god Erica, you're awake. What happened?" She said taking a deep breath out of relief. I opened my mouth to answer but the smell of her perfume came in my throat and the nausea hit back. I sprinted to the toilet emptying my whole stomach, hearing footsteps coming closer.

Ifrah sat down beside me, asked me to look at her. I probably looked as weak and poorly as I had done a few days ago because she had the same facial expression as Shaheer.

"Ifrah where's Shaheer, I want him to be here" I suddenly cried out, without warning again, no warning about any tears coming.

"Shh. I'm taking you to the hospital, we need to check this. We'll call him, I promise" she answered.

I had been running a whole lot of blood tests, and now my doctor is on his way with the results. I'm scared of what it can be, maybe I'm extremely dangerously ill.

"Ifrah, what can it be" I asked her laying down on the bench while she sat in the chair beside me.

"I have no idea, we'll just wait and see what he's coming back in with" she said smiling at me.

The doctor came after about 10 minutes, looking happy actually, something that I really couldn't understand.

"You see Erica.. When you came in here I thought it was something extremely wrong, but it is the completely opposite. The things you've been feeling is called symptoms, just that you've had some very strong types of them" I looked nervously over at Ifrah, none of us had any clue about what it could be yet.

"You and Shaheer are expecting a baby, you're about one month along. I'll let you two be alone for a moment" he said leaving with a big smile on his face.

I really couldn't believe it was happening, we were ready and we wanted a child and now it's happening. I was in such a shock and I couldn't hold the tears back. I sat up looking at Ifrah that looked extremely shocked as well.

"I can't believe it. Shaheer and I are becoming parents" I said while happy tears couldn't stop coming down. Ifrah came up to me, hugging me tight.

"I'm so happy for the two of you, I'm gonna become an aunt" she squealed happily.
