We pulled into the doctor’s office after the thirty minutes of awkward silence interrupted by awkward conversation.

I started to get out.

“Wait. Just sit still.”

Maddox jumped out and walked around the Jeep and opened my door and held out his hand for me.

“Thank you.”

I took his hand and stepped out. He put his arm around me and placed his hand on my back as we walked into the entry of the doctor’s office. After checking in we sat and waited to be called. He held my hand and tapped his foot nervously the entire time.

Once called in I was sent to the bathroom to pee in a cup. When I finished and came out Maddox was thanking a very friendly nurse who gave him pad of paper and a pen. I watched him smile and then look towards me and his face tensed again.

I rolled my eyes as I walked past him and followed the nurse into the exam room.

Maddox sat and wrote on that note pad until the doctor walked in. He stood and shook his hand.

“Nice to see you both again.” Dr. James sat and rolled his chair up next to Maddox and I. “So you think you may be pregnant again?”

“We do. I would like to ask a few questions if you don’t mind.”

“Go ahead Maddox ask away.”

Maddox seemed to be concerned with the fact that I had in fact been on the pill for a month previously and that even though I had only missed a weeks’ worth of pills I was pregnant. Apparently he found thing online that said it was possible but that he still didn’t understand.

“Your body thinks it’s pregnant while you’re on the pill. That’s why it is such a highly effective form of birth control. When you stop and then menstruation accrues your body knows it in fact…”

I sat back and crossed my arms as they went back and forth. I wasn’t listening anymore. It was something I learned in seventh grade health class. Maddox however, never had.

“Harper?” I looked over at them after he repeated my name. “See this is what’s been happening. She seems so—off.”

The doctor laughed and patted him knee. “That happens during pregnancy.”

I was off? I was off! Oh man he was in for it.

The knock at the door interrupted their conversation. The nurse smiled as she handed Dr. James the chart.

Dr. James opened it and smiled. “Congratulations.”

Maddox let out a deep breath. He continued asking questions and writing things down. They didn’t stop chatting even when the nurse came in to draw blood. Maddox did stand next to me and held my hand while the blood was drawn. But as soon as the nurse left, he continued asking those questions and writing everything down. Very cute, very intense, very… Maddox.

The doctor scheduled an appointment for an internal exam in two weeks. I did not ask one single question at the appointment. Not one.
