“Not you, sir.”
Noah stops.
The receptionist points at a group of chairs. “Over there.”
“I don’t think so.”
“You don’t,” she says and tells the nurse to stop. “Can you hold up while I get security down here?” She tilts her head at Noah and gives him a little smile. It’s as if she’s asking, “Do you really wanna fuck with me?”
Noah taps the counter and points at the chairs. “I’ll be over there.”
“Thank you, sir.” She gives the nurse the okay signal.
We move along.
I’m taken to an examining room with curtain walls. “So, what’s going on?”
I tell her I’ve been feeling off.
She checks my vitals. “Blood pressure is high. The gentleman said you nearly fainted, is that right?”
“Yes.”
“We should probably run some tests.”
“I might be pregnant,” I blurt. No sense trying to hide it from a nurse. If there is anything wrong with me other than that, I should probably know about it, for the baby’s sake.
“You’re not sure? Haven’t seen a doctor?”
“Not yet.”
“We’ll check it out, then, to make sure. You relax, and I’ll be back.” She gives me an easy smile. It’s comforting.
“Thank you.”
She leaves and pulls the curtain closed. Comes back five minutes later and draws blood. Leaves again, and a doctor shows up. “How are you feeling?”
“Fine.”
“So, I hear you might be pregnant. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
“The nurse says you had a fainting spell?”
“Been a little dizzy lately.”
“Been getting enough sleep?”
“Not really.”
“Have you been eating properly? Have you eaten yet today?”
“Actually eaten? I’m not sure.” I started on a sandwich with Bobby, but I’m not sure I even took a bite.
“Nutrition is important,” the doctor says.
“I know.”
