Chapter Eleven

Janie’s hands trembled, but not from the detox. Detox was two weeks behind her now. It was a relief to finally be through with the withdrawals - to finally feel clean and purged from the poison that had nearly ruined her life twice.

Harry had walked through the fire of detox with her. He had visited her, counseled her, and prayed with her. Unable to bear the pain of seeing her brother again, he had remained true to his word and helped her find a counseling facility that offered her a chance at living sober.

He had even arranged this doctor’s appointment for her. She blinked up at the doctor, unable to register what the doctor was saying. The doctor kept talking, but she didn’t comprehend a word. She could only stare.

Finally, the doctor had mercy on her, wrote prescriptions and showed her back to the waiting room. Janie numbly walked down the stairs and into the parking lot. Harry was waiting for her.

This could not get any worse.

He stood from the bench he had been waiting on. His smile falling as he noticed her ashen pallor.

“Janie?”

“I’m pregnant.” Janie blurted the words and then couldn’t believe she had actually said them. Misery clouded around her and she slumped down onto the park bench.

“Hey, don’t cry.” Harry’s arms slipped around her shoulders, gathering her into his embrace. She hadn’t felt this safe since Matthew. “This is good news, Janie. Trust me, this is good news.”

“How?” Janie hiccupped. “I was drinking. All this time I’ve been drinking….It’s going to be deformed…have birth defects…all because of me…”

“Shhh. Don’t panic, Janie. One thing at a time, Sweetheart,” Harry softly interrupted, pulling away from her slightly. Gently, he wiped her tears away. “Now, what did the doctor say? How far along are you?”

“About six weeks,” she whispered. “She said something about abortion and fetal alcohol syndrome…I don’t believe in abortion, Harry.”

“Neither do I. Let’s pray about this, okay? And then we’ll do some research of our own, okay?”
