*****ABIGAIL'S POV*****
"No, Abigail. You are not pregnant."
We both let out a huge sigh of relief. Thank God!
"So, what's wrong with me?"
"Abigail, you have acute pyelonephritis, caused by an untreated urinary tract infection."
"English doc," I asked.
"You have a minor kidney infection. It started as a urinary tract infection, likely a silent one, meaning there were likely no symptoms. This spread to your kidney, causing you to become sick. You are lucky you came in when you did. We caught it early and with some antibiotics, you should be just fine and shouldn't have any further complications."
I thank the doctor before he leaves the room. A nurse comes in and administered some antibiotics before leaving. I kindly asked Savannah to leave the room for a moment so Noah and I were finally alone.
"Thank you for coming. You really didn't have to."
"Abigail, what are you talking about? I want to be with you no matter what. If you need me, I'm here, always."
I held onto his words as much as I could but I couldn't stop the fear and panic that was raging within me. The look of pure terror when Noah thought I could be pregnant killed me. I know that now isn't the right time but the look in his eyes told me it was never going to be. Noah clearly didn't feel the same way about me, that I felt about him and I couldn't even try to hide the pain that realization caused me.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
His voice was soft and gentle. Just like his hand as he tenderly wiped away a stray tear from my cheek. I couldn't stop the wave of emotions from flooding out of me.
"I'm so sorry. I should have known I had a UTI. This is all my fault. And I'm really sorry about the pregnancy scare. I know that is not what you want. I know that you don't want to be tied to me forever and I should have been more careful..."
I began rambling. He grabbed both sides of my face and forced me to look up at him. The look in his eye was indescribable. There was a mixture of sadness and pain and also a hint of anger. But there was something else. Something I couldn't quite place.
"Abigail, no, don't you dare think that way. None of this is your fault. And if you were pregnant, we would have worked things out. Sure, it may have not been ideal, but it would've been okay."
I wanted to believe him, but I couldn't. I saw the way he reacted to the idea. He's probably just saying what I want to hear because I'm vulnerable right now. I just wish he'd admit it. He doesn't want to be tied to me.
"But then you'd be stuck with me..." I started, trying to pry the truth from him but he interrupted.
"Good. I can't think of a person that I'd rather be stuck with."
"That's not true. I'm sure there are a bunch of women..."
"No, Abigail. I only have eyes for you and I will always only have eyes for you."
"Come on, Noah. I'm sure some other girl will come along."
"I'm sure they will but they don't matter because I'm with you."
"But what if they're better than me?"
"That's impossible, Abigail. You're perfect in my eyes."
I could hear the frustration in his voice but I couldn't stop myself from continuing to pry. He was obviously holding something back and I just wish he'd tell me. I didn't want to waste my time with a man who couldn't see a future with me, who didn't even want to consider it.
