Emily threw up into the metal toilet for the fourth time while Patty held her hair out of her face for her.
"Honey," Patty said. "I don't know what it is but I think you need a doctor."
Emily had been in prison for a week by then, and had been feeling like absolute garbage.
"No," Emily said. "I don't need a doctor. I think I know what this is. Did you get it?"
"Yeah, I got it."
Patty handed her a small box and a cupcake a turned away.
"Honey, you better hurry up back there."
"Why? You excited?"
"Well, that and I have to go too."
Emily sighed, pulled down her jumpsuit and underwear, and sat on the toilet.
She took a bite of the cupcake and opened the box.
She took out a home pregnancy test.
Patty had lied, she was so excited to see if Emily was right or not. She heard Emily start to pee and she smiled and started to jump up and down with excitement.
"Shit," she heard Emily say.
"What, what is it?"
Emily pulled her clothes back up and finished off the cupcake.
"It makes you wait five minutes."
"So?"
"Unless you get a positive right away."
Patty turned around and Emily was holding up the test.
In the small digital bar, there was a plus sign.
Emily was pregnant.
