KATHERINE'S POV.

ST Clark hospital.

It's been a little over one month since the whole one night stand thing fiasco and I'm trying to put it way behind me...key word. Trying.

I still haven't told Carolina. I am sure she'll freak out and then take me in a celebratory dinner like she said she would the first time I ever have sex.

I nervously tapped my fingers against the doctor's desk as I waited for Doc Natalie to come back in.

I've been feeling a little unwell and decided to check myself. It's something I did on frequent. It was an habit my mother cultivated in me. But I think it's because I've been working myself too hard.

Even though I suspect it may be something else but if didn't have to guts to admit it to myself because we've all established that I could be a cowards.

We've just launched a new division where we do home delivey after customers can order from our app.

It's cool and the idea was definitely good but it was equally exhausting. We've had way too many orders coming in and lots of adjustment had to be made to fit our new division or expansion.

"Katherine." Doc Natalie called as she entered her office.

"Doc." I smiled at her as she took her seat across from me.

Natalie is Carolina's cousin. She was the one who treated me whenever I got sick. I would like to consider us to a degree as friends but not very close friends.

"Your test results are out and uhmm.." She looked down at screen of her smart tab that I'm guessing was displaying the results.

She slid a two leaves file over to me for me to take a look. I took them but I didn't really understand them but to an extent... I think I did but it seemed my brain shut down.

"You're pregnant." Natalie says.

Pregnant
Pregnant
Pregnant
Pregnant
Pregnant
Pregnant

Pregnant
Pregnant.

The words echoed in my mind over md over again but it seemed no matter how many times it repeated in my head I couldn't grasp it.

"W-W-What?" I stuttered.

"You are a little over month gone." She explains further.

Sometimes you run and hide from things but they end up finding you.

I didn't know when my hand went to my stomach. It felt flat. It hasn't changed... I don't think there's a baby in there but there is. The test results clearly shows there is.

"I'm pregnant." I told myself.

It slowly began to sink in along with a n headache. I was pregnant.

"Katherine, are you okay?" Natalie asks, her faces expressing concern.

"I am... I-i-is my baby alright?"

"The test results shows that everything is fine but we still have to the the ultrasound."

"Oh..." I didn't feel like talking. Nothing I could say would feel right or comforting.

A part of me was wondering why I wasn't crying already.

"C-Can I come back in a few hours for the ultrasound?"

"Of course."

I nodded muttering a small thank you before leaving her office. More like stumbling out.

I took my time to assess my situation. I didn't actually leave the hospital. I spent my time on the roof taking  time to assess my condition. When I finally cried and tried to feel sorry for myself. It began to sink in a little. I think.

It was unexpected and alarming but the baby was in my life already. I wasn't going to run from it.

  I might not know who the father is but I was it's mother and I know I would love him or her.

I almost chuckled as different thoughts of assurance and panic crossed my mind. I had people who would stand by me and help me. I had never thought in a gazillion years I would ever sleep with a stranger let alone get pregnant from a one night stand.

I decided I'll love and protect my child. The one night stand might have been a mistake but the baby's existence wasn't. But that didn't mean I didn't feel confused and angry at how careless I had been. I clutched my phone in my hand and contemplated calling Carolina or my Dad.

  I would have never thought I would already be planning to be a mother before I reached twenty four. I spent more than two hours thinking about my situation before I decided to go back for my ultrasound. I wanted to see my baby.

THIRD PERSON'S POV.
ST CLARK HOSPITAL.

Caspian Montgomery had a look of indifference on his face as he listened to the men that kept on rambling.He looked down at his silver wristwatch and couldn't wait to get the meeting over with.

"....With your enormous generosity. The hospital couldn't be doing any better. Mr Montgomery." The half bald doctor nervously chuckled at the end of his sentence.

The doctor didn't receive a response from the Caspian but he  prefered it to actually getting a reaction from him. He knew about the man's cruelty and ruthlessness but the also knows of his power, wealth and influence.He hated sucking up to others but he knew Caspian was very powerful and he also owns the foundation that funds their hospitals and many others.

Yuvraj and the other hospital top officials walked behind Montgomery as he headed to the elevator. They kept filling Caspian's ears with talk and project the hospital was partaking in but Caspian was half listening.

On the other side of the hall,
Katherine took out her phone that dinged indicating she had a message. As she looked down on her phone and turned right she crashed into someone. She stumbled back as the papers in her hands scattered on the floor.

"I'm so sorry." Katherine immediately began to apologize as she bent down to pick her papers.

Everyone froze as a small woman who wasn't looking where she was going crashed into Caspian Montgomery. The little girl immediately tired to scurry to pick the papers she had dropped on the floor as she raised her head up to look at the man she had crashed into.

Katherine froze in place as the person she crashed into was in other than her grey eyed man, her one night stand and now apparently the father of her child.

Montgomery looked at the woman that had invaded his mind the past month. The lady who his assistant couldn't find.  She looked smaller than he remembered but her eyes was as he remembered. Light brown with flecks of green and gold in them. He could see how she froze at the sight of him. And her eyes widen in shock, her big round eyes increased the air of innocence around her.

He looked at one of the paper that fell from her hand and fell at his feet. He bent and took it up to give her but his  eyes caught something in the sheets and his curiosity was piqued. His eyes scanned the sheets and his brows went up in surprise.

"Are you okay sir?" Yuvraj ask concerned before turning to the small lady who had crashed into his boss and was currently staring at him with wide eyes.

"Sir-" The chief of surgery began but was cut off when Yuvraj motioned to him to stop.
Yuvraj couldn't figure it out but he could sense something in the air. He could see how Caspian's shoulders squared and how his jaw clenched.

Katherine's wide eyes went from the stranger's face to the stranger's hands.
Her eyes widen in horror at the sight of him holding her test results. He wasn't just holding it, he was looking at it, reading it. Katherine's heart to began to beat faster as she immediately walked forward to get her result back.

"T-T-That's mine." Kathrine stretched out her hand to collect her paper but he didn't move as he continued staring at the paper.

"P- Please give t-that back." Katherine walked towards him to get it from him when he raised his head to look at her.

Caspian's face was cold and void of any emotions but his eyes said a lot. It expressed confusion, anger and surprise.

"This says you are pregnant." His voice was hard and cold.

Kathrine glupped as she tried to swallow the lump forming in her throat but to no avail. she tried to calm her raging heart.

"Give that back." Kathrine tried to sound firm but I came out as a plea instead.

Katherine jumped at the sound of a low growl erupting from his chest.
Not just her but the hospital officials did too. The executives immediately became nervous and tried to think of a way to pacify him.

Yuvraj didn't know what offended his boss but it  seemed to him like his boss was very mad and although Yuvraj was more confused he could see that his Boss's change in behavior were already making the hospital executives nervous.

"I need that -." Kathrine tried to demand  but wasn't able to finish her sentence when a strong hand got hold of her arm and pulled her to him.

"What are you doing?" She shrieked as she tried to pull her arm away from him.

"You're coming with me." He ordered.

Katherine looked at him in surprise and fear.
"W-what?"

"I'm leaving."

Yuvraj didn't need to be told to understand that his boss was talking to him as he headed to the elevator pulling the little lady with him and they finally disappeared out of sight when the elevator closed.

Yuvraj was left in awe with the hospital officials. He closed his eyes and his brain tried to come up with an excuse. He let out a silent sigh in frustration. This wasn't the first time his boss would do something weird and would leave him to deal with it.

Yuvraj turned to the hospital executives who looked at him for an explanation. Yuvraj planted a polite and confident smile on his face as he prepared to explain the situation he himself didn't understand and make up an excuse.
