"Who's this?"

I am doing so many things at the same time that I didn't even see the screen of my cell phone before I answered the call. The phone is between my ear and my shoulder; I get up from my desk with a box that contains many files and folders on top of it.

"It's me, Adam..."

For a few seconds, the things that I carry in my arms threaten to fall when I hear his voice again, I manage to keep everything in order even though some of the folders have gotten out of sync and I have to be extremely careful when I walk so they don't fall.

Nick leaves the captain's office at that moment and comes to help me.

"I'm very busy, I can't talk to you now," I answer when Nick takes the box, I take the opportunity to take the folders.

"I need to talk to you," Adam says to me, and I can feel a little strange. "Unintentionally, I heard a conversation that you and Erin were having... Is it true what I heard?"

"What are you talking about?" I ask him with trembling hands, walking with Nick to take all the documents to the archives.

"Are you pregnant?"

I don't know if I've turned pale but Nick turns to see me a little worried, I just hope that the noise in the office has not let him hear what Adam said.

"I can't talk right now; I already told you I'm busy..."

"No, Vanessa... we need to talk now, why didn't you tell me?"

"Adam..."

"I can ask my transference to New York, I promise you that I will do everything I can for you to be fine"

"Adam!" I raise the tone of my voice making him stay quiet. "I'm really busy, I'll call you later..."

I cut the call and put the phone in my bag, I don't turn to see Nick but I know he is going to ask me something.

"Everything's alright?"

"Yes," I answer faster than I would have liked, Nick seems to notice that I'm not in the mood and suddenly I feel bad. "I'm sorry, thanks for helping me... I think I can do it alone..."

I try to get the box but he denies it.

"I have nothing to do," he replies with a shrug. "So... Adam, huh?"

I let out a sigh and nod.

"Are you trying to get back?" He asks, opening the door.

"Absolutly not," I reply quickly and denying with my head. "The truth is that I don't know why he called me, he probably wants to return my things that were left in his apartment or I don't know..."

Nick nods and we just leave the files there and go back to our desks.

Erin called me yesterday afternoon, we talked about Adam and she told me that she didn't say anything, that he had not even asked her about it. She said he had come in when she told me they needed her in the office so it's very likely that he heard the whole conversation.

I had been so busy the last two days that I couldn't go to the doctor, Erin made an appointment for me to be sure I attended. My period has not yet arrived and I am really worried about the fact that it is very likely that I am pregnant.
