And You're Just What I Need...

Day Ninety

Three months to the wedding and it seems like everything needs to get down. Although that’s not even close to being true, most of the things are finished. We’ve got the venue, food, cake, dresses, people, invitations and registry all taken care of. Now there’s the table settings, flowers, and rsvps to get received.

But at the moment, there are bigger things going on in my head. Things like, am I pregnant or not. Actually, that’s pretty much it. For a woman who never misses a period, and has been on a pretty constant period since she was fifteen, missing one is a pretty big deal. It’s been almost two weeks since I was supposed to have one, and as you can see, I gave it that ‘oops’ time too. It still didn’t come.

So, that’s why I’m sitting in a doctors office at the moment, waiting for the answer. Any answer. Of course Adam doesn’t know anything about this. No one knows anything. I wasn’t going to say a word until I got the answers.

The door behind me opened and my doctor came in with papers in his hand. I was holding my breath, “well, Mrs. Richards, it looks like you had a miscarriage.”

“oh thank God!” I breath out.

The doctor chuckles a little, “not ready for a kid?”

“uh, already have one, don’t need another at the moment.”

“well, like I said, you were pregnant and now your not! Although there’s a lot more science stuff that goes on with that, but that’s the jiff of it.” He explains.

“well, thank you. I really needed that answer.”

“no problem.”

I called Adam the instant I got back to the house. Finn and Dakota were out looking at flowers and Katelyn was on a date with Nick. So it would be the perfect time to tell him.

I hear the other line pick up and before he can say anything I speak, “Adam, I need you to come home.”

“emergency come home or not so much of an emergency come home.”

What if it was an emergency? He just wasted his time asking me that, “um, I need to tell you something important and no one is home except me.”

“oh, okay. I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes.”

“great.”

I made me some lunch then, since I hadn’t had food since early morning and was quite hungry. Coffee at doctors offices don’t fulfill hunger needs while waiting for hours. The front door opens and I perk up, expecting it to be Adam, although that would have been a really fast drive home.

“Julie! Nick and I are going to watch a movie!” Katelyn calls.

Shit. I walk into the hallway and pull out twenty-five dollars, handing it to her, “go to the theaters and watch something.” I say.

“but-“

“Kate, now.”

“but-“

“I’m serious, you guys can’t be here right now.”

“fine.” She says. Nick was laughing the whole time, obviously not caring what they did.

They left and just as they opened the door, Adam walked in. “oh, I see how it is. You could have just told me you know, you didn’t have to push us out the door like you-“ I close the door on her.

“bye.” I say. Adam looks down at me weirdly, “hey.” I say, smiling sweetly.

“hey...” he replies, hesitating.
