Alissa Soleil's POV

I woke up to the sound of curtains opening and then sunlight hit my face.

I closed my eyes together then slowly fluttered them open.

"Rise and shine, sis. We need to go for a morning walk with Ma. It's a beautiful day out" Bry said.

I yawned and got up.

As soon as I did, I felt my stomach turn.

Oh ghad.

I rushed to the bathroom and I threw up in the toilet bowl.

"Are you okay?" Bry asked worried.

He came to me and rubbed my back as I kept throwing up.

"I'll get you a cup of water" he said and he rushed out.

I finished throwing up and I went to the sink and brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I feel nauseous.

Did I eat something I shouldn't have last night?

Maybe.

Bryan came and gave me the water as he rubbed my back.

"Are you sick?" he asked worried.

I shook my head.

"Just a little nauseous but I feel fine. Must be something I ate last night" I said with a shrug.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I nodded.

"Give me a moment to get changed and I'll be out. Let's all walk together" I said.

"You sure you can walk?" he kept asking.

I chuckled and gave him a pat on the back.

"I'm fine, Bry. I promise" I said.

Bryan sighed and nodded.

I washed up when Bry left and then I got dressed into a khaki lantern sleeve pocket front button half placket romper paired with my khaki flat sandals.

I brushed my hair and put a little tint on my lips then I grabbed my wallet and phone and got out of my room.

It's been 2 weeks since I told Cal.

It's also been 2 weeks since Luke started sending flowers.

Yes, started because he didn't stop.

For the past 2 weeks, he's been sending flower bouquets to the hospital and at home.

Each and everyone had a card reminding me that he was waiting for me.

Because of that, Cal took it personally and he too started giving me a flower bouquet at work.

For 2 weeks, the flowers in the house have started to pile up.

It might be inconvenient for me but Ma likes it a lot and she arranges the flowers in a vase and decorates the house with it.

Also because of it, I've been the hospital's daily gossip.

It starts with:

'Is Dr. Williams and Dr. Ellis officially dating?'

'Who sends the other flower bouquets?'

'Does Dr. Williams have a contender for Dr. Ellis' heart?'

'Who's going to win over Dr. Ellis?'

And more stuff like that.

Another effect of all this is Cal's ex is mpre pissed off at me be than she already is.

That one, I actually kinda like.

She can stay pissed for all I care.

It's a rest day and I'm going out with Bryan and Ma.

About a week ago, Bryan found a job.

As expected of him.

It's only a part time job and it's a night shift.

He said he picked a night shift so he can accompany Ma in the morning and then go to work once I'm done with mine.

Over the 2 weeks that Bryan has been staying with us, he and Ma have already become really close since they spend their days together.

I thought it was so wholesome.

On the other hand, Bryan and I call mom and Axel every day to keep them updated about our lives.

I also contact Liana everyday to make sure she's doing fine and everything.

Bry and Ma were already waiting in the living room.

"Are you okay, dear? Bryan said you threw up" Ma asked worried.

I nodded.

"I'm fine, Ma. I really am" I assured her.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Yes, I am. Now, come on. Let's all take a walk outside" I said and I clung onto Ma's arm.

We went out of the house and started walking to the direction of the park.

We talked about what Bry and Ma do at home while I'm gone.

They sometimes watch movies and then Ma teaches Bry to cook.

She also teaches him to knit and crochet.

Then, Bry teaches Ma how to use an umbrella for self defense.

We laughed hysterically at that.

It's nice to know that they're bonding so well and that both of them enjoy each other's company so well.

I feel relieved.

When I told Ma that Bry will be staying with us probably long term, she said it was fine.

In fact, she was pretty excited.

She said it's nice to have many kids with her and she's more than happy to welcome him into our lives.

Ma is just the sweetest.

Bryan likes Ma a lot too.

He said he was relieved that I found someone like Ma and she was thankful to Ma for caring for me and loving me unconditionally even if we weren't blood related. After some time, we reached the park and we sat down in our favorite spot.

Ma and I still walk here every morning. Now, we have Bryan with ud which makes the walk even more special than it already is.

We watched as kids play and dogs running around the park.

It was such a relaxing scene to watch.

"Why don't we stop by at a cafe before going home and eat there?" I suggested.

"I'd like that" Ma said.

"That seems like a great idea" Bry said and I nodded.

The cafe it is.

We stayed there for a while and I looked at Ma and saw that she was smiling.

I smiled as well.

Then, my phone rang and I looked at it to see Cal calling.

Ma and Bry looked at me.

"It's Cal. Excuse me for a moment, I need to understand it" I said.

Ma nodded and Bry just looked at me.

I walked away from them and answered the call.

"Cal" I said.

"Hey"

"Hi. What's up?" I greeted and asked.

I was slightly anxious that something was wrong in the hospital since Cal usually just texts during the weekend unless it's really important. "Are you free tonight?"

"Me? Well, Ma, Bry and I are going out later and we'll be out for the day but I think we'll be back before dinner so I guess yeah" I said. "Nice. Do you want to go out for dinner?"

"Dinner? Sure. Is there an occasion or something?" I asked because it was so random.

"No, not really. It's just been a while since we had dinner. Like proper dinner and not one when we get off work at midnight kind of dinner"

I chuckled.

"Okay okay. Dinner it is" I said.

"I'll see you later then?"

"Yes. Also, how should I dress?" I asked.

"We're going to a 5 star restaurant"

"Fancy it is" I said and he chuckled from the other line.

"Yeah"

"I'll see you later" I said.

"See you"

Then, we ended the call and I walked back to where Ma and Bry were.

"Is everything okay?" Ma asked worried.

I nodded.

"Everything is fine. Cal just asked me to have dinner with him" I said.

Ma nodded.

Bry looked at me with a raised brow.

"What did you say?" he asked.

"I said yes" I said.

Bry just bit his lower lio and looked away as if he was troubled by something..

I know Bry and Cal aren't really the closest yet.

They haven't really gotten a chance to get to know each other further so I get if he's troubled by me spending time with Cal and all.

I know he just wants the best for me.

Maybe I'll talk to him about it later.

After a little more time, we finally left the park and went to nearby cafe that Ma and I really like.

As soon as I entered the cafe, the scent of coffee beans and bread hit my nose.

It smelled even better than usual.

It was almost enticing and I immediately felt hungry.

I ordered for us and as I looked at the breads displayed, I felt likr drooling.

They all seemed so good to eat.

I ordered what I wanted which was quite a lot than my usual order.

I could always take them to go if I couldn't finish them then I'll eat it at home.

Also, Bry is with us. He has a big appetite.

I got our order and Bry helped me.

"Is this all for us?" Ma asked a little surprised.

I nodded.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry than usual. Also, Bry is with us and he has a bigger appetite than both of us combined, Ma" I said.

"That may or may not be true" Bry said and we all chuckled.

We sat down and started eating.

The bread tasted delicious.

I liked it even more than before and I couldn't even explain why.

Maybe they added a little something to the bread to make it tastier.

We talked during breakfast and it was a really fun meal with Bry and Ma.

After breakfast, we headed back to the house so we can all shower and get dressed to go to the mall.

We reached the house and all headed to our rooms.

I prepared my clothes and then went to the bathroom and quickly showered.

I got out of the bathroom with a robe after drying myself off.

Then, I blow dried my hair and slipped into my clothes.

I wore a beige solid shirred back cami romper paired with a white cardigan and white low heeled sandals.

I curled my hair into waves then put them in a half up hairstyle.

Then, I put my necessities in a white purse.

I then grabbed my perfume and sprayed it on my self.

The scent hit my nose and I made a face when I didn't like the smell.

I smelled it again and didn't like it.

It seemed fine yesterday.

I sighed and brushed it off and just didn't put perfume on.

I went out of my room and Bry was already waiting on the couch.

I sat down beside him as we waited for Ma.

"Are you feeling better?" Bry asked.

I nodded.

"I do. I feel better so don't worry too much" I told him.

Then, Ma came out.

"Let's go?" she said and I nodded and Bry and I stood up.

I grabbed my keys and we headed out.

We went to my car and got inside.

Ma sat on the shotgun seat and Bry sat on the passenger seat.

"Shall we?" I said.

Both Ma and Bry nodded and I started the car and we drove off.

I turned the music on and the 3 of us jammed to the music until we reached the mall.

After some time, we reached the mall and I parked the car and we got off.

Ma held on to me and Cal and we walked inside the mall together.

We ended up going to the clothing stores and we got ourselves some clothes.

I got Bry a ton of clothes as well although he said not to.

In my defense, I wasn't with him for 13 years, that's a lot of shopping sessions missed and I wanted to make up for it.

Specially now that I'm more than financially stable and I can take care of my family well.

I also bought clothes and other gifts for my parents, my friends and my nieces and nephews which are Lia's kids and Kalil's kids.

I'll store them then give it to them if I visit. I can also send it to them or I can give it to them if they visit me.

We had lunch at the mall and our day was just amazing.

Just before going home though, I felt nauseous again after we passed a restaurant and I smelled something that I didn't like very much.

I excused myself and went to the bathroom where I ended up throwing up.

It was weird.

I was fine earlier and suddenly I'm throwing up after smelling a certain scent.

It was unusual because I've encountered a lot of disgusting scent and my stomach wasn't this sensitive to them.

I sat on the toilet bowl for a while.

Then, something hit me.

I couldn't be, right?

I gulped as I looked at my stomach.

It can't be.

It was one time.

One time after 13 years of having no s*x life at all.

I felt anxious but I still pushed myself tilo get out of the cubicle.

I went out of the bathroom and went to a pharmacy in the mall.

Ma and Bry were waiting for me somewhere else so that's a relief.

I bought 3 pregnancy tests.

Then, I rushed back to the bathroom.

I took all the tests and I waited patiently to get the result.

I felt like throwing out again because I was anxious.

I hope I'm wrong.

We only did it once that night.

It was a spur of the moment and it was with Luke.

My ex-mate and ex-husband of all people.

This isn't the right timing for it.

I can't be pregnant.

Then after a few minutes, I looked at the tests.

My jaw almost dropped to the floor and I felt like I was close to fainting.

Positive.
