Alice’s eyes were puffy. She’d cried all day the day before, so it was understandable. She couldn't believe Ash’s reaction. She’d expected disbelief and for him to be upset. It was a huge thing to take in, but what she hadn’t expected was the accusation and outright denial.

They’d had sex without protection. Was it so far-fetched that she was pregnant? Her eyes pricked with more tears. It was the hormones. She went from vibrating with anger to feeling unbelievably sad. Then she would get angry all over again, and afraid. Who could blame her? She was alone. A tear escaped down her cheek. Alice swallowed hard. Wallowing in self-pity wasn’t going to help. She sniffed and reached for one of the magazines on the coffee table. A lady sitting across from her gave her a smile. It was filled with concern and pity. Yup, single mom over here. That and unwanted pregnancy. It was written all over her. She smiled back. The lady was only trying to be kind.

Her phone beeped again. She fished the thing out of her purse. It was Meredith. Her friend had been so supportive. She was just checking to see if Alice was okay. She’d wanted to come with her today, but Alice needed to do this on her own two feet. It was her and the baby. Just the two of them and best she get used to it. The sooner, the better.

She was just texting her back when the receptionist called her name. “The doctor will see you now.” She was a sweet lady who looked to be in her mid-thirties.

Alice stood up. “Thank you.” She walked through the open door and down the hallway to the only door that was open. Alice peered around the jamb.

A very young-looking woman, dressed in a white lab coat looked up from her notes, pen poised. “Morning." She put the pen down. “I’m Dr. Evans.”

“Good morning.” Alice walked in, closing the door behind her.

“Take a seat.” Dr. Evans gestured to one of the two chairs on the other side of her desk. She opened the file to the left of her. “Alice Hargreaves?” She raised her brows, looking Alice in the eyes.

“Yes, that would be me.”

“Is this your first appointment with an obstetrician? Since finding out you were pregnant?”

“Yes, that’s correct,” Alice noted.

“Are we still waiting … for someone?” The doctor looked at the empty chair pointedly.

Alice felt her cheeks heat. She shook her head. “No, it’s just me.”

“I understand.” Dr. Evans nodded once.

Alice seriously doubted that she did, unless of course she too was knocked up and all alone. Enough with the pity party, Alice!

“Shall we begin?” Dr. Evans asked. Without waiting for a reply, she went on. “There is a changing room through there; you will find a blue gown hanging on a hook behind the door. Please remove all of your clothing and put it on.”

Alice nodded once. She stood up, the chair screeched loudly on the tiled floor. She walked into the small changing room and there it was, the blue gown.
