Just For Tonight

Mini Chap 12

Life went on for Lillian.

It has been 2 weeks now after that one-night stand.

Yes, she got comfortable calling it that in her mind because she can't seem to think of another term for it that wouldn't make her furious.

"Do you have a tube, Lillian? Gosh. This is beginning to be my worst day of the week and it's still 10 in the morning!"

"Here."

"Lucky for you to have a quieter uterus than the rest of us this month, Lillian. You never seem to have pains."

She broke in her daze and glanced at her companion, "What day is it?"

Her companion, a fellow doctor, smiled at her unusual daze, "Its the 28th, Lillian. You've always been having it every 20th. Atleast you have, for the past 10 years we've been working."

She froze, dread creeping fast throughout her body like last time.

Like that time.......

She cannot believe this.

"You go first, Annabelle. I'm gonna drop somewhere first."

Dr. Anabelle Hunt gave her a knowing smile, "Make sure you do, Lillian. Good luck."

She suddenly regretted switching specialty from OB-GYNE to Medical Diagnostics.

Of course she knew all about it. The contraception, the after-morning pill, but her mind blanked out after that big reveal and decided to sleep instead of taking a few steps to the nearest pharmacy.

This was her fault. Everything was her fault.

She was still waiting a few seconds for the result to come but she knew already what she would be seeing in that little plastic kit.

Of course. Its positive.

Her phone rang before she can even react to it, "Hello?"

"Lillian, remember, you were supposed to be meeting the family in the airport today. Where are you?"

I'm in my office, staring at a pregnancy test kit. Imagining it is telling me a sarcastic congratulations for getting pregnant.

She closed her eyes. She have to restrain herself.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes."

She just have to keep this to herself until the wedding is over and she could finally be alone again.

Alone again, with a baby.
