We both burst out laughing.
We weren’t close-close, but we were close enough that she knew pretty much everything there
was to know about me seeing as Ember and she were great friends.
She knew mine and Luca’s entire story.
She knew that Luca and I had been seeing a fertility doctor to try to get pregnant.
She knew that I couldn’t work at my old hospital where I’d previously been working because of
how uncomfortable I now was with Dr. Cromwell who was treated like royalty. Dr. Cromwell who
still made me feel bad for his child’s infatuation with me. His child’s infatuation that was so bad, it was found out, that he tried to murder his friend based solely on the fact that he saw me in a sports bra, kind of infatuation.
She also knew that I had a plan to go get a pregnancy test after I left this appointment.
“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself,” Cheyenne said. “How about we go take your pregnancy test and
discuss specifics.”
I liked the idea of that.
“I don’t…” She waved away my words.
“We have tests here, honey. We’re an emergency room,” she teased.
I felt my face flush. “Well, I know that.”
It was as I was coming out of the bathroom in the employee’s lounge that I saw two of my favorite
people in the world.
One that held my heart, and the other that had helped protect my heart while he was away.
I stopped just outside of the door, my pregnancy test with my pee still on it in my hand, and stared.
“They’re a sight, aren’t they?”
I looked over at a young woman who was standing outside of her exam room.
She had a laceration on her face, and she was pressing gauze to her forehead while she stared at
the two men.
“You can have the one on the left,” I teased. “The one on the right is my husband.”
The woman smiled. “Deal.”
She looked down at the white test in my hand.
“Is that pee on your…” She gestured to it. “It’s positive, you know.”
I looked down at the indeed positive pregnancy test and smiled wide.
“Umm, yes, it is. That’s why I’m holding it on the paper towel.”
She pointed to a biohazard bag that had some half-melted ice in it.
