Chapter 18

“I’m pregnant?!”

The gorgeous smile showing all his teeth that always made her stomach flutter graced his face making his eyes dance. For just a short moment, she drunk in the fine-looking features of a man who could make her feel so wonderful and upset at the same time.

Again she fought the urge to touch him and mold her body against his by tightening up her fist and digging it into her stomach.

“Dr. Redmond validated everything and said it must have occurred on the first try when I explained to him what we had been doing.”

“But we did the test yesterday and it didn’t work.”

“I’m not fighting the results, Charisse. Maybe the stick had some delayed reading and needed the night to kick in. I’m very happy.”

It was a shock to her system, but at the same time she also felt very foolish. “I fainted because I’m pregnant?”

“That would seem so,” he agreed.

Sinking on the bed in disappointment, she said, “I feel like a weak silly girl.”

“Weak?” he asked incredulously, sitting near her. “Charisse you’re one of the strongest women I know. And trust me I don’t give a lot of women that credit. Millions of people are terrified of dying and you’ve faced it three times!” He sounded genuinely amazed. “Your doctor explained that you were so used to controlling everything that happened, you were probably overwhelmed by your body doing something else out of your control.”

She still felt foolish.

Chyna suddenly jerked the curtains away abruptly and Charisse stood up as if she’d be caught doing something wrong as Chyna approached her.

Before Charisse could say something, Chyna hauled off and backhanded her across the face.

“You promised to wait!” Chyna screamed angrily as Charisse had stumbled to the bed taken aback by her older sister’s reaction.

Parker jumped in front of his wife before she could hit Charisse again, which she had been about to do. “Stop it!” he ordered, struggling with her to keep her away from her sister.

“No, I won’t!” Chyna snarled. “She’s a selfish spoiled evil brat!”

“She’s pregnant!” Parker exclaimed.

Chyna instantly calmed down and looked baffled as if Parker had spoken in another language.

He let her go and retrieved the stick Charisse had set down on the bed. Giving it to his wife, he said, “Dr. Redmond confirmed it with blood tests.”

Chyna looked down at the stick in surprise before looking back at Charisse who was just getting back up to her feet refusing help from Parker, who now moved closer to her.

Charisse was feeling like she had been going against her own mother again. The slap had certainly discombobulated her, but she regained her equilibrium fast used to this type of treatment and expecting no less from her sisters. She almost forgot that Chyna had their Mother’s way embedded and was now running on basic instinct.

Her sister started for her in apology, but Charisse held her hands up to hold Chyna away. “Don’t,” she said coldly.

“I’m sorry,” Chyna said. “I overreacted, Charisse.”

“You believed what you want, Chyna,” Charisse sneered and felt around her mouth for any blood.
