Chapter Seven

I wake to beads of sweat across my forehead and a strong urge to vomit last night’s dinner. I roll out of bed and rush to the restroom. I barely make it before I’m cupping my mouth. I heave and retch for what seems like fifteen minutes. By the time I’m done, I am miserable. Somehow, I make it back to my empty bed and sleep for another few hours. The nausea doesn’t subside even during my restless sleep. By the time I give in and dry heave, I decide I need to make a doctor’s appointment today. I call and am relieved they’re able to see me right away.

The waiting room is quiet, only me and another woman who looks like she’s as sick as I am. Shit! I hope I don’t have some crazy flu. She glances over and smiles a little, then rummages inside her purse and pulls something out. She leans over and hands it to me. It’s a roll of Arrowroot cookies.

“Try one. I promise it’ll help.” She nods.

I slip one out and nibble on the end. “Thanks.” I try to force the cookie, but it takes a lot of willpower. My stomach is dead set against me feeling better.

“Your first?” she asks, tossing down her magazine.

I roll my head to look at her. I’m so friggin’ tired I really don’t want to chat right now. “First what?”

She points to my stomach. “Baby.”

My eyes widen, snapping me awake. “Oh, I’m not—” I stop when it hits me. “Oh. My. God,” I whisper, doing some quick math in my head. I can’t believe I’m so stupid.

“Congratulations.” She stands after her name is called. “Maybe I’ll be seeing you around.”

“Maybe,” I answer, completely shocked by this possibility. I try so hard to stop myself from getting excited, but a smile tugs at my lips.

I go back to reception. Luckily, both doctors are in the same office. “Um…I think I need to see Dr. Brown, not Dr. Rice,” I say and lay a hand over my stomach and think back over the last couple of months.

“Let me see.” The receptionist types away on her computer. “Dr. Brown has an opening in twenty minutes.”

Oh, thank God I don’t have to wait too long.

I pee in a cup and wait with a thumping knee for the doctor to return. So many things are running through my head, one being…what now? A few weeks ago, I would have been confused, but today, right now, I know what my heart wants. I want a home with Cole up on the mountain, full of our family. Suddenly, a haunting feeling creeps in when I think I still have two very stressful situations I need to get through—Lynn’s court case, and what’s going to happen with my father.

The door opening snaps me out of the thoughts screaming in my head.

“All righty, Savannah,” Dr. Brown says, adjusting her blouse as she sits across from me. “How have you been since the miscarriage?”

I swallow hard and try to be brave.
