Several weeks passed. Although her sister’s condition hadn’t changed, she still called daily as soon as she got home.

“Hi Dad,” she said.

“Hey honey.”

“How’s Nicole doing?” she asked as she kicked off her high heels.

“The same. But at least she’s not getting worse.”

“True.” She sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her aching feet.

“Are you going to be able to come back and visit soon?”

“I’ll see if I can find an open weekend. I haven’t been feeling well.”

“Stress isn’t good for you,” he said. “You need to take care of yourself. Your mom is beside herself with worry.”

“She’s not worrying about me.”

“I know you think she’s mad at you, and maybe she is, but she still loves you,” he said.

“I love her too. I wish she’d at least speak to me. The last time I tried to talk to her, she told me she had nothing to say to me unless I come home.”

“She’s being stubborn.”

“I miss you, Dad.”

“You should come home for a visit. Even if it’s only a day,” he said.

“I’ll see what I can do. It might be a few days though, because I think I’m coming down with something.”

“You need to go to the doctor if you’re getting sick.”

“No,” she said. “I think it’s a low-grade virus, nothing the doctor can help me with. I need to take some aspirin and I’ll be fine. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

“Let me know if you can make it out. Even though Nicole’s unconscious, I think she still knows when we’re there,” he said.

“I will.”

She hung up and padded to the medicine cabinet. The bottle of aspirin was empty. She groaned as she bent to look under the sink. Her stomach rolled. All of the stress at work had been getting to her the last few weeks. She hadn’t felt right in a while.

As she pushed aside a box of Epsom salts, she knocked over a plastic basket filled with tampons. A chill raced up her spine. She plopped onto her butt in front of the cabinet and stared at the tampons. When had she used them last?

She struggled to remember the last time, so she jumped up to check her wall calendar in the kitchen. She’d been tracking her cycle since she’d had an irregular pap two years ago. Everything turned out okay, but her doctor had told her to keep track so they could test her immediately if anything changed.

As she flipped back two months, her heart raced. She found the row of tiny red X’s two weeks before she’d left for Lost Hills.

“Oh my God.”

She stepped back so fast she jarred her hip against the kitchen counter. A flash of pain sizzled into her leg. Her knees went weak. She stumbled into a chair and gripped its wooden arms. This couldn’t be happening. She couldn’t be pregnant.

On shaky legs, she wobbled to get her purse. She walked to the corner drugstore and returned with a pregnancy test. Back in her bathroom, she eyed the stick warily. She set a timer on her phone and waited.
