CHAPTER EIGHT

CHRYSTAL WALKED CLAIRE out to the front doors. Just as she was going to return to her office, Rayna flew into the reception area. There was a somewhat wild look on her face but, at the same time, she looked as if she were ecstatically happy.

Grabbing Chrystal, she pulled her back behind the glass reception area.

“Rayna,” Chrystal exclaimed. “What is it? You look positively strange!”

“Chrystal!” Rayna said in a shaking voice. “You’re not going to believe this!”

“Please tell me!”

Rayna took a deep breath before she started to speak.

“Okay, well, you know how I was all upset this morning?” she said.

“Yes, yes, of course I do!”

“Well, I just stopped my period,” Rayna went on. “I mean it was like I didn’t ever have it! So I decided to just hit up the drug store to buy a pregnancy test. I came back here and took it. And guess what! It’s positive!”

Chrystal just stared at her unable to take in what she was saying. How was that even possible?

“Rayna, are you saying that you’re pregnant?” she finally managed to ask.

“Yes!” Rayna shrieked. “That’s exactly what I’m saying!”

“Rayna, sweetie,” Chrystal said in a soft voice. “That’s just not possible. I know how much you would like for it to be, but there’s no way it can happen like that. There must have been some error somewhere.”

“I knew you were going to say that, Chrystal,” Rayna replied. “That’s why I went back and bought another test. It turned out positive, too.”

“Okay, Rayna, I’m going to give you an order right now. You need to call your doctor and tell him that you need to be seen immediately. In fact, tell him that you’re on your way over now. I insist. Go and tell him what you’ve told me and then get an examination, blood work or whatever else will give you a definitive answer. Okay? Now make the phone call and get out of here.”

“Yes!” Rayna cried. “I can do that!”

Grabbing her cell phone, she called her doctor’s office and repeated to them exactly what Chrystal had told her to say. After she hung up, she grabbed Chrystal and hugged her once more before fairly skipping out of the office. Chrystal stared after her simply shaking her head in bafflement. Once she had given Elsa and Shandi an explanation for Rayna’s absence, she went back into her office to complete her afternoon appointments.

As it turned out, Rayna was gone most of the afternoon, but Chrystal and the other case workers managed to keep up with everything so that it all ran smoothly. Even though Chrystal was quite busy with her clients that afternoon, she still managed to wonder how things were going with Rayna at the doctor’s office. When she finally returned about an hour before the office was to close, she was practically glowing. She appeared at Chrystal’s door just as one of her appointments was leaving.

“Ask me,” she said grinning at Chrystal broadly.

“Um, okay,” Chrystal said hesitantly. “What did the doctor
