A couple of hours later, Jean was settled in her hospital room. She’d only been there for a few minutes when her obstetrician stopped by. “You must be Jean. I’m Dr. Foster. How are you feeling?”

“Whatever they put in the IV is really helping. Is it safe for the baby?”

Dr. Foster nodded, smiling. “Dr. Jordan suspected you were pregnant after hearing your symptoms, so he made sure he gave you something that would be fine for the baby.”

“Oh, good.” Jean was shocked she hadn’t thought of that before, but she was glad she’d asked now.

“It looks like you’re about six weeks pregnant, which will have you due around the fifth of January. I’m going to have my staff call you to make an appointment as soon as you leave here. With your acute morning sickness, we’re considering you high risk, and we’ll watch you extra close. For now, we’re only worried about settling your stomach and getting you hydrated. Hopefully you won’t be here for more than three or four days.”

“That long? Will I be able to go back to work as soon as I get out?”

Dr. Foster frowned. “I can’t say for sure, but I think you’ll have to take the rest of your pregnancy off. I haven’t seen such an acute case of hyperemesis gravidarum before. You’re going to have to treat yourself like an invalid if you want that baby to make it.”

After the doctor left, Jean looked over at Dillon. “I’m not going to be able to work.”

He shrugged. “You hate your job. It sounds like a good time for you to start taking care of yourself.”

“I guess I have no choice.” She smiled slightly. “I like the idea of sleeping. A lot of sleep sounds really good.” Her eyes were drifting shut again.

He grinned. “I’m going to go have someone drive your car home. You sleep, and I’ll be back first thing in the morning. If you need anything, give me a call.”

She forced her eyes open. “Bring my toothbrush and a nightgown. I feel strange with my ventilated backside. And I want some slippers.”

“All right. I can do all that.” He leaned down and kissed her softly. “Take care of my baby.”

Jean’s hand went to her flat stomach, finding it hard to believe there was a baby there. “Be safe.”
