I’m full on shaking now, what am I going to do?

My phone pings in my hands.

Sergio:You feeling better sweets? I’m downstairs and ready for our run when you are.

Great, just what I need. I put my fists to my eyes and squeeze.

Think! Think! Think!

Right pull your shit together, Cam.

I take a deep breath and text him back.

Me:I’m still feeling pretty crap, do you mind taking me to the pharmacy please?

Me:Don’t mention it to mom though, she’ll only worry. I just want to grab something to settle my stomach.

Sergio:You sure you don’t need to see the Doc?

Me:It’s a stomach bug Sergio, I’m sure.

Sergio:Ok, I’m down here in the guard office when you want to leave.

Me:Thank you. Give me thirty minutes.

I knew I could count on Sergio. Making my way gingerly toward the shower, I get in and appreciate the warmth of the spray on my stressed and achy muscles.

I’m dressed and ready to leave forty-five minutes later. That’s practically early for me.

“Morning, sweets, you do look rough. You sure you don’t want me to take you to the doc?” Sergio questions as he frowns at me and steps out of the office.

He’s not used to seeing me in jeans and a sweatshirt.

I slip on my boots as I glance at him.

“Thanks, you sure know how to kick a girl when she’s down. And no to the doc. I’m fine.” I smile at him.

He frowns and shakes his head, guiding me toward his car.

The pharmacy isn’t too far from the house, and Sergio doesn’t insist he comes in.

“I’ll wait outside.” He nods at me to enter the pharmacy.

I’m so grateful he understands my need for privacy. I know he has a sister a year younger than me, and he sees me as a little sister of his own.

“Thanks.” I pat his shoulder and enter the building.

I make my way over to the family planning section, checking to make sure Sergio isn’t watching. He’s not, he’s in full guard mode, scoping out the area.

I look at the options of tests in front of me, there are so many. This is not something I ever thought I’d be doing before I got married.

A small whimper escapes my lips. I’m so screwed, my papa is going to kill me.

Oh God! Alessandro too.

We’re both fucked.

Right. Get your shit together, Cam. You don’t know anything for sure yet.
