“Fine. Am I pregnant?” I blurt out.
She smiles. “Yes, you are. I’m estimating about six, maybe seven, weeks along. We’ll get you scheduled for an appointment with your OBGYN, and she’ll take care of you from there.”
She keeps talking, but I zone out.
I’m pregnant.
I’m pregnant.
I’m pregnant.
“I need to go,” I blurt out. I need to find Trace, make him tell me what is going on, so I can tell him the news. My doctor seems surprised by my outburst, but she hurries things along. I rush out of the room and into the waiting room.
“Brittany.”
I whirl around to find that I walked right passed Melissa. “What are you doing here?”
“You’re a hard woman to find. You didn’t tell anyone you had a doctor’s appointment.”
I frown. “Since when do I have to? What are you doing here?”
“We have plans today.”
“What? No, we don’t. I have to go see Trace before I go back to work.”
“No, you don’t. You have the day off.”
“What?”
“I guess there was some sort of miscommunication between you and your boss, because she told me you had the day off since you had a doctor’s appointment.”
I stare at her. Was there a miscommunication? I thought I was clear that I’d come in once I was done. Maybe not. But why does Melissa also have a day off?
“Come on. Let’s go.” She hooks her arm inside mine and walks me outside to my car.
“Where’s your car?”
“Ben dropped me off. Mine is messing up. I’ll drive; you seem rattled.”
“Where are we going?” I ask once we get in the car. It feels weird to be in my own car and not driving. “I need to see Trace. I have to ask him what’s been going on. I need to know. I need to do it today.” Hysteria starts to build with my panic attack.
“Oh, I’m sure he’s innocent, whatever it is,” she casually says.
“Take me to his office, Melissa, or I’ll scream bloody murder until you do. I don’t have time for whatever you have planned.”
“Will you just chill?”
“No,” I shriek.
“Why? You’ve been quiet this long. What difference is a few more hours going to make?”
“Because I’m pregnant!” I blurt out. Melissa pulls off to the side of the road to look at me with shock and tears start to stream down my face. “That’s why I had a doctor’s appointment. I need to find out what’s going on because last time me and Trace talked about if he wanted kids, he said maybe. Now, there’s a baby inside of me and I don’t even know what the fuck is going on with my boyfriend. I have to see him.”
“You’re pregnant?”
I nod.
“Aw. I get to be Aunt Melissa, right?”
