“You can do this,” Holly encouraged her.

Sabrina took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face. She’d never been so nervous in her entire life. “There’s so much happening right now. Maybe this is not the right time to find out.”

Holly shook her head and opened the entrance door to the brick building, holding it open for her. “Don’t stall. That’s just nerves talking. Now, come, let’s do this together.”

Pushing her shoulders back, Sabrina nodded. “I can do this.”

Then she walked inside and headed for the front desk, Holly by her side. “I’m Sabrina Palmer. I have a ten-thirty appointment with Dr. Chandra.”

“Good morning, Miss Palmer. Your insurance card please.”

Sabrina pulled her insurance card from her purse and handed it to the receptionist.

After the receptionist ticked a name off the list and ran her insurance card through her system, she reached for a clipboard, pinned two forms to it and handed it to Sabrina together with a pen. “Fill these out and bring them back when you’re finished.”

“Thanks.” Sabrina took the clipboard and turned toward the waiting area.

Both she and Holly sat down. While Holly reached for a glossy magazine with celebrities on the cover, Sabrina filled out the questionnaire as thoroughly as she could. Then she handed it back to the receptionist and sat back down.

Holly closed the magazine and leaned closer. “So, what are you gonna name her?”

Sabrina glanced around, looking at the other women in the waiting room and found one of them looking at her. Did this woman recognize her from the picture in the newspaper? Had she read the article? Sabrina sighed. How could she think about babies and a future with Daniel right now when there was so much chaos in her world?

“We don’t even know whether I’m pregnant,” she responded under her breath and looked back at her friend. “It could all be a false alarm. It happens all the time; you miss a period, because you’re under stress. And if anybody is under stress right now, then it’s I.”

Holly put a reassuring hand over hers. “Sweetheart, you need to learn to relax. Maybe I should take you to a spa for an afternoon.”

Sabrina rolled her eyes. “I don’t have time to relax. There’s still so much to do. And now that my parents are here, I have to play referee on top of it. Besides, my mother is still miffed at me for forgetting her arrival day.” She shook her head.

After consulting her cell phone, she’d had to admit that she’d indeed received her mother’s text message apprising her of her earlier arrival. Sabrina must have simply forgotten it. Could this mean that she was really pregnant? She’d once read that a woman’s short term memory suffered during pregnancy. And then there’d been the dizzy spells, and in the mornings she’d occasionally felt a little unwell. She wouldn’t classify it as morning sickness, just a sensitive stomach.

“The way things are right now, I’m not sure I’m ready to be a mother.
