“Right then, let’s first get a urine sample, see what that says.” Dr. Goodwin gets to her feet. “No need to stress if it comes back negative.”
“Yeah.” I nod and follow her out of the office.
A few minutes later, I gave her a sample, and the two of us went into one of the patient rooms to wait for the results. Two minutes go by, and she confirms what I have a feeling she would.
I’m pregnant.
“I’m going to bring my ultrasound cart in here, see if we can’t get eyes on the little one. Find out how far along you are.”
Breathing heavily, I nod. Dr. Goodwin starts for the door, and I grab her wrists, getting her attention. “I lost my virginity the night before the attack. What if . . . what if . . . how could I find out for sure?”
“One step at a time, Honor,” she remarks softly, patting the back of my hand.
“Okay,” I whisper and let her go.
Dr. Goodwin steps from the room, and a couple of minutes pass before she comes back, wheeling in a cart. “I’m going to start with one wand and if we don’t see anything we’ll switch to the other.”
“Okay,” I whisper again, knowing what she’s talking about.
Lying back, I lift my shirt and lower my pants enough for her as she sets everything up. After what feels like an eternity, she squirts warm gel against my abdomen and a moment later right there on the screen is a small picture of the baby inside me. Tears fill my eyes as fear threatens to clog my throat.
“Well, this confirms it.”
I swallow down my fear and look from the screen to Dr. Goodwin. “How do I find out the paternity of the baby?”
“We can do a test by drawing a sample of your blood. We just need a sample from one of the other men.”
I knew now with the new technology out there, they could take a sample of my blood and a DNA swab from one of the men to determine if they are the father. Thankfully, Savage is here with me, and we can get an answer. “Can we do that today?”
“If you would like.” She nods. “I’ll put a rush on it.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” While she finishes taking measurements, I quickly send a text to Savage asking him to come inside.
By the time he’s there, Dr. Goodwin has pictures printed and is taking my blood.
“What’s going on?” Savage demands, eyes filled with confusion as he stares at the blood filling a tube.Without a word, I hand him the picture. Slowly, Savage takes it. His body visibly tenses at the sight of the image, and he brings his gaze to mine.“You’re pregnant?”
Tears shimmer in my eyes, blurring my vision, and I nod. “Yes.”
“Sir, if you will, can we please get a sample from you? We’re going to run a DNA test to ensure you are the father,” Dr. Goodwin states, cutting straight to the reason he’s in here.
“Yeah,” he answers gruffly, not taking his eyes off me. Moving to my side, he wraps an arm around me and presses a kiss to the top of my head. “It’s gonna be all right, baby.”
“Okay,” I murmur and wait for Dr. Goodwin to finish.
Five minutes later, she finishes taking my blood and getting a sample from Savage.
“I’m putting a rush on this. It could still take a couple of days but I’m going to try and get the results faster than that. I’ll call you once they’re in. Try not to stress over it. And I’ll see you next week. Monday. Eight a.m.”
“Thank you, Dr. Goodwin.” I give her a small smile and turn with Savage.
Neither of us speaks as we make our way to his bike.
Only then does he turn me to face him, his strong arms going around my waist. “Whatever comes of this, baby, I’m here. We’re going to get through this. Got me?”
“If it’s not yours, I don’t know if I can handle having this baby,” I murmur, my lip trembling.
