WHEN I WOKE UP THE following day, Charlie was on my arm, snoring away. Rolling over, I realized Chris was already gone. The sunlight streamed in through my sheer white curtains, and I figured he must have left for work.

I had no more cramping all night and was anxious to make sure the coast was clear and get to the bathroom. As I sat up in bed, I noticed the small note on the pillow he used. Scrawled out in perfect cursive was a message from Chris.

I hope you sleep in and feel better when you wake up. I’m off to work, but we have some things to discuss. I will call you later. Love, Chris.

Love, Chris. I looked at the words over and over, wondering why such a simple saying made my stomach flutter and my heart race. They were just words, a generic sign-off used in letters all the time. Still, he had come all this way and stayed with me. He really was invested in this child, and it felt good to know I wasn’t completely alone.

Climbing out of bed, I walked to the bathroom and examined myself, relieved that everything seemed completely normal again. No spotting. I sighed and leaned over the sink, staring at my reflection. My hair was a mess, and dark circles smudged my eyes, but suddenly none of that mattered.

My cellphone rang, and I dashed to my nightstand to see who it was. When I realized it was my doctor, my hand shook as I swiped to answer the call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, is this Miss Stevenson?”

“Yes, this is Monica.”

“Hi, Monica, it’s Doctor Herrera. I saw the note that you called last night, concerned about some spotting. Is everything okay this morning?”

“Uh, yeah, I think so, actually. Maybe it was from the exam?”

I heard the doctor murmur her agreement through the phone. “Likely. It doesn’t always happen, but it does happen and is no cause for concern. It’s in the notes I sent home with you after your appointment, but I should have told you. I’m very sorry if you were distressed.”

I felt like I was already failing as a parent. There was so much information to learn, things to read. I did skim the notes but must have missed that part. “I’m sorry. I feel silly now.”

“Oh, goodness. Nothing to feel silly about. This is an exciting but new experience. You could go through this three different times and have three different experiences. Don’t let all the books and advice everyone throws at you overwhelm you, and never hesitate to call me directly if you are worried. I’m just glad to know the spotting stopped. You should be perfectly safe to resume normal activities such as exercise or sexual intercourse.”

I nearly choked on her words. It was good to know. After all, my hormones were raging, but still, I didn’t exactly have the active sex life she assumed I had. “Thanks,” I replied as casually as possible.

“Oh! And your blood work came back. Your hormone levels are right where they should be, which means the baby is growing stronger daily.
