Fatima was asleep in her bedroom when Dee came barging in...
Dee: wake up sleepy head, it's almost 10am and you have an appointment at 11am.
Fatima: (sleepy voice) Dee my appointment is not until 12 so why are you waking me up so early?
Dee: first of all, 10am is not early and secondly, did you forget about your appointment with Dr Jackie?
Fatima: (sits up) SHIIIT!!!
Dee: there's no need to panic sissy, you have ample time to get ready and lucky for you I have a super late call time for today so I'm free to accompany you right now.
Fatima: (sighs) Dee I don't think going to see Dr Jackie is a good idea. I mean she's mommy's best friend and practically like an auntie to us, I doubt that she'll be able to maintain Dr-Patient confidentiality.
Dee: okay true, Ms Jackie can't hold water but Tima who cares if she chooses to discuss with mommy what type of birth control you decide on?
Fatima: (starts crying).
Dee: (consoles her) okay Fatima you're scaring me, what's wrong? You've been moody everyday since you came here, if being away from Zac makes you so damn unhappy then why did you even come?
Fatima: (sniffles) it's not that Dee, I'm not crying because I'm away from Zac. I told him that I need a break and he respected my wishes.
Dee: okay... so what's wrong? Talk to me sissy.
Fatima: (wiping her tears) this is what's wrong! I don't know what's been going on with me lately. I'm an emotional wreck! I find myself crying for no apparent reason and I can barely keep any food down.
Dee: maybe this break away from Zac is doing more harm than good? I think you should just call him because you clearly miss him.
Fatima: no it's not that. Although Zac and I have physically been apart for four days, he still calls to check on me everyday so trust me, we're good. The break is definitely serving it's purpose.
Dee: (hesitant) uhmm Tima I know it's not my business but have you and Zac ever had unprotected sex?
Fatima: (looks away, shamefully nods her head in agreement)
Dee: (gasps) Tima!!! But that night at dinner you told mommy that-
Fatima: (sighs) I know Dee... it was a mistake okay, we just got caught up in the heat of the moment.
Dee: how long ago was this?
Fatima: it was when we were in Italy, like four weeks ago. And before you ask what you're about to ask... NO I'm not pregnant because I took a plan B the next day.
Dee: plan B isn't always effective, especially if you were ovulating during that week.
Fatima: (crying intensifies) OMG!!! I cannot be fucken pregnant, mommy is going to kill me!
Dee: Tima please calm down, let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe it's just a false alarm. When was your last period?
Fatima: (sniffles) last month.
Dee: shit that's not a good sign, but listen, you just go get in the shower while I go snoop in mommy's cupboards for a pregnancy test, you know she always has a bunch of medical supplies laying around.
