A DAY LATER, Dr. Graham confirms my pregnancy with a urine sample and congratulates me on making it through my first trimester. She says things looked good despite my humiliating confession that I drank an entire bottle of vodka earlier in my pregnancy. She was very compassionate and assured me that I should be just fine. When she asked about the baby’s father, I shook my head and told her that I would be doing this on my own.

“If anyone can do this, Mia, it’s you.” Her words comforted me, giving me the courage to do just that. I could have this baby and raise her without Adam. Between my mom, Josh, Araceli, Shelby and Pete and me, she’d have all the love she’d ever need.

Dr. Graham recommended an OB-GYN, gave me a script for prenatal vitamins and said that I could continue running as long as I feel good.

I walk into the grocery store to pick up some ingredients to make dinner for Shelby and Mike. I know she’s exhausted and Mike has been working a lot of overtime these days. The first person I see is Angie, bagging groceries at her register. I think the whole store knows I’m back from Texas when she squeals with delight and gives me a tight hug.

“Come on over here, girl. Give me some love.”

Angie eyeballs me from head to toe, “You look good, Mia. You look happy and healthy, girl.”

Happy? No. Healthy? Yes. It’s not that I’m unhappy about my unexpected pregnancy I just wish I had a way to let Adam know. “Thanks, Ang. I feel good. This summer was just what I needed. Josh sends his love.”

“Oh, that sweet boy! How is he?” Her eyes shine brightly when she smiles.

“He’s good. I think he’s coming here for Christmas this year.”

The line of impatient shoppers grows longer and the sound of someone clearing their throat gets our attention. Angie snaps her teeth, turns to her customer and says, “Patience is a virtue. Didn’t your mama teach you that?” I smile and wink as I push my cart to get some food.
