“Headaches and I have to pee a lot more than usual.”
“Is this a heavy pee or a light pee?”
“I don’t know,” I said. “I’m not really looking at it.”
“You should save it in a jar sometime just to see,” she said. “Urine is pretty fascinating. It’s a good aphrodisiac, too.”
What the…I pretended like I didn’t hear her say that.
“When was your last menstrual cycle?” she asked.
“Two weeks ago.”
“I doubt that, Miss March. Are you sure?”
“Oh, wait.” I shrugged. “Maybe a month or so ago?”
“Well, that makes a lot more sense.” She smiled. “You’re pregnant.”
What? My stomach hurt too much to laugh. “Funny. What’s really wrong with me?”
“Blood and urine tests don’t lie, Miss March.” She handed me a sheet of paper. “You’re definitely pregnant.”
“No.” I shook my head. “No. It’s logistically impossible for me to be knocked up. I remember having a period, and I haven’t had sex in while.”
“So, you think this was an immaculate conception?”
“No, I think your tests are off because there’s no way I—” The realization dawned on me in slow motion.
This month’s period never came. The last one I remembered was the week before I slept with William.
Oh my god…
“What’s that you were saying, Miss March?”
“Nothing.” I refused to accept this diagnosis. “It has to be something else. Can you check me for STDs?”
“We already did that,” she said. “Would you like to take another pregnancy test to confirm?”
“Yes, please.”
“Fair enough.” She set a plastic cup on the counter and pulled out a brown box. “You can take one more before you leave here. As a parting gift, you can have an entire pack of these at-home tests, since we have a ton of overstock.”
“Can I retake it now?”
“It’ll have to wait.” She scribbled something on her clipboard. “I need to check a few other things. Lay back and place your feet in the stirrups.”
I obliged, and she snapped on a pair of gloves.
“Can you spread your legs really wide for me, please?”
“This is as far as they go.”
“You wouldn’t be pregnant if that were the case.”
“Seriously?” I sat up. “Can I see one of the other doctors?”
She pushed me down and moved my legs for me. “Relax, Miss March. I imagine that this is tremendous news for you and the baby’s father.”
