“Well, nausea, trouble sleeping, anxiety, anemia,” he counted off all of my symptoms on his fingers. “All tell me that either you are dying or that you’ve got an extra passenger in there.”
“I can’t be pregnant. My birth control is ninety-nine percent effective.”
“You can still get pregnant with that one percent, my dear,” the doctor said, huffing a dry laugh. “Do you have a male omega partner?”
I hesitated before nodding.
“And when was his last estrus? I assume it was recent. Did you know that omegas go through a period of hyper-fertility during their heats, meaning that your run of the mill birth control would have had nearly no effect. If you didn’t change your birth control for his estrus and he didn’t wrap up… then I have a feeling you may be pregnant.”
I gaped at the man. “That’s impossible.”
But even as I said it, I knew that it was more than possible, in fact, it was likely. I’d cried more the last three months than I thought I ever had and add that in with the constant nausea…
“Well, we can’t say for certain unless you take a test…”
“Which I have,” Wiz finally chimed in from behind me as he rifled through his backpack and produced a little white box.
“When the hell did you buy that?” I asked, staring at it like it was a poisonous snake.
Wiz gave me a sheepish smile. “Our front desk attendant said something to me last night that kind of got my gears turning. I was going to talk to you about it today, but then you passed out in the hallway and here we are.”
The doctor stood. “You can use the attached bathroom if you’d like. I’d highly suggest setting up an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible either way.”
With that, he left Wiz and me alone, both still staring at the box.
“I can’t be pregnant,” I repeated.
“Just take the test so we know either way,” Wiz told me gently as he put it in my hand and guided me to the bathroom.
Once I’d shut the door, feeling a little dazed, I began to read the instructions on the box.
“Do you know how to do it?” Wiz’s question was muffled by the door.
“It’s not rocket science, Wiz,” I called, rolling my eyes.
“Have you ever taken a pregnancy test before?”
No I had not, but he didn’t need to know that.
It was a digital pregnancy test that touted that it could get results fifteen days sooner than all the rest. I didn’t need any of that because, if I was pregnant, I was going to be about three months along.
I peed on the end of the stick and set it on the counter, my heart in my throat.
It was times like this I wish I had Aurelia and Brynn with me. They would have waited outside of the door, joking and trying to make me feel better.
And then I remembered that I was still angry with Aurelia for lying to me and my mood soured once again.
Lifting my shirt, I stared at my stomach, turning one way and then the other and trying to figure out if I looked pregnant while I waited for the test.
My belly looked the same size as always, though there was just the tiniest pooch of distended flesh just underneath my belly button.
Lifting my shirt higher, I stared at my breasts. They had also felt more tender lately, but I figured that being manhandled by four different men would make anyone’s breasts sore.
“Ciara, waiting out here on my own is killing me,” Wiz said as I continued to try and see if there were any physical signs of my being pregnant.
With a sigh, I opened the door. “It’s not done yet.”
Wiz crossed into the bathroom and checked the stick for himself. “How long do these things take?”
