Pregnant? PREGNANT?
How could this be?
I hadn't slept with anyone. Though Cole had made his intentions clear and I'd been under his haze, I hadn't given in.
I couldn't.
In my mind, my marriage wasn't over. Hero would be my first and last, no matter how hard it hurt my heart.
Tawnee turned to me, nearly knocking me off the table.
"Kristina... you never told me...?"
I shook my head, attempting to dispel the fog that surrounded me.
"Like she just said... I didn't know... Um..."
I trailed off, wondering how this could be possible. My stomach wasn't stretched into a giant balloon by any stretch of the imagination. I couldn't be more than a week or two-
God, stop this.
I wasn't pregnant.
I was the wrong patient.
"When was your last period?" The doctor asked though it didn't look like it mattered either way.
I paused for a moment, ticking off the days on my hand. Then, horror filled my pale face.
"A few weeks before my husband left..." I began. "At least... crap..."
No. My periods had been pretty irregular. Since I'd had that implant... Oh, fuck. My year had ended. We hadn't visited the doctors since the wedding.
"I'm not even bloated or anything." I went on, trying to see reason.
Much to my surprise, the doctor laughed at my response.
"I can see this is your first time. You can't be more than a few weeks. Were your husband and you sexually active? How long ago did he leave if you don't mind me asking?"
I sighed.
"Yes, we were. It's been like a month-"
"Actually dear," Tawnee interrupted, "I think you've lost track of time. It's almost been two months."
I gasped, wanting to slap myself silly. Had it really been that long?
"How... far along do you think I am?" I stuttered.
The doctor quirked her mouth to the side.
"No more than four to six weeks would be my guess but we'll insert an ultrasound."
I sucked in a sharp breath, eyeing the familiar computer lying to the side of the room. How had I not seen that before?
Without warning, a tear ran down my cheek.
I was pregnant.
With Hero's baby.
