"Arthur! Dutch needs to talk to you." Miss Grimshaw pounded on the door and then walked away. "She scared me." I let out a weak laugh and then get up to continue getting dressed. "Think Abigail wanted to talk to you about something."

'Oh damn please don't tell me he knows.'

"Oh yeah? Did she say about what?" It was quiet for a bit but when I turned around Arthur was asleep. My head turned to the side and then I got on top of Arthur. He woke up and realized where he was at, "looks like someone is tired." He puts his hands on my butt and says, "yeah, very honey."
"What were you going to say?" I ask getting up putting on my hat and boots. "Umm.. oh! Abigail said that it's a woman thing so I don't know." I help him off the bed and we kiss goodbye then we head down stares. "Be careful today honey." I tell Arthur and he says the same thing.

I walk up to Abigails tent and her and John were arguing. "Well I'm trying to get him back!"
"Well then you better try harder!" John bursts out of the tent mad as hell and I call out to Abigail. "Hey Abigail? You needed to see me?" I walk in and she signals me to sit down while she's plucking a chicken for dinner. "Listen.. I think you and I should go to the doctor today." It was quiet for a bit then I finally spoke up. "Is this because of the conversation we had at Clemens Point?" She nods her head, "Yes y/n, you need to be sure so we take care of you when.. it happens." I was so embarrassed on this part but I had to ask, "what.. happens?" Abigail looks up at me with a serious look, "you're joking right?" I shake my head. "Okay let's go." She tosses the chicken in the bucket and we go to the small wagon. "Were going into town!" Mary-Beth comes yelling from behind us. "Wait! Abigail!" She was panting when she got to us. "Would you mind going to the general store to buy some pulp bandages?" She gives Abigail some money and then goes back to washing on the wash board.

On our way to Saint Denis Abigail asks me, "Hey y/n aren't you from here?" I mentally hold my breath, "Yeah, it feels weird being back."

We made our way to the doctor and it was a nice place. Dark wooden floors and cute wallpaper. "Ma'am are you here for a walk in?"
"Yes." I speak up.
"Okay would you mind filling out this paper with your information and the doctor will be with you in a few minutes." She handed me a paper and a fountain pen. I was nervous so my handwriting was messy. "Y/n." Abigail saw me struggling so she placed her hand on my arm. I take a deep breath and continue filling out the paper.

When I was done I sit down on the wooden bench. It was just about a few seconds and the doctor called me in. "Y/n? I'm ready to see you now ma'am." I squeeze Abigails hand, "Can my friend come with me?"
"Sure." He opens the door wider and steps out of the doorway. I walked in and I swear, I thought the small doorway got longer with my vision. For a brief moment, I thought I was going to walk for a while. "Alright just take a seat and get comfortable." I sit down and then hold Abigails hand for comfort. "Okay so you think you might be pregnant. Tell me, what are your symptoms?" I take a deep breath, "Well sometimes I can't hold my food down, I pee a lot, I get emotional like way too frequently and I want to have sex with my husband like constantly." The doctor chuckles, "No disrespect ma'am." The man clears his throat and then checks the last thing on the list he got when I was explaining. "Well.. this is common in most in women. Ma'am.. you're pregnant. Congratulations and welcome to motherhood, it's a stressful and beautiful thing." He extends his hand out and I shake his. "Now are you sick? Or have any family history of diseases?" Shake my head and zone out for a bit.

'Pregnant? I-I don't know if Arthur is ready, I don't know if I'm ready. What if he doesn't want to be a father? Am I going to be a good mother?'

"Ma'am?" I snap out of my trance, "Yes? I'm sorry, I was thinking about a lot."
"I just told you to take care of yourself and if there's any bleeding or something doesn't feel right make sure to come back." I nod my head and we helps me up. "In the meantime, get extra sleep and make sure to fool around with your husband every now and then." He laughs and I do too awkwardly.

"Well let's go to the general store and then we'll home. How do you feel?" I get on the wagon processing everything and I start to cry. "Y/n what's wrong?" A tear rolls down my cheek and I was going to say something but I covered my mouth. "What if Arthur doesn't want to be with me anymore? What if he's not ready? I-" I couldn't help but think the worst. "Y/n you gotta calm down okay? Take a few deep breaths." I felt like my mind was going crazy. Abigail and I made our way to the general store. She asked the owner if they had pulp bandages and I was looking at the candy section. "Do you want one?" She asks me coming behind me. "Umm.." Abigail grabs two and pays for everything. "Will that be all ladies?" The cashier asks. "Yes." The cashier was adding everything up and when Abigail gave him the cash he asked the dumbest thing ever. "So I've always been curious what's the chocolate for? Is it to make you feel special or something." I look at him with a straight face like 'sir did you really just ask that?' I walk away before I do something I'll end up in jail for. "Well that man was dumb." Abigail added while getting on the wagon.

I open up my chocolate before it melts and I take a bite. "Men are a special breed." She laughs hysterically while heading out of the city. "I you might be right y/n."
