CHAPTER NINETEEN

“Well?” Fey asked the following week after Allyssa had thrown up her breakfast for the fifth day straight.

“I have to wait to see. I just peed on the stick five minutes ago, and it takes seven minutes.”

“Maybe I should have bought a more sensitive test,” Fey murmured sullenly.

Allyssa chuckled, ruffling her wife’s hair. “Maybe I should have taken one of your tests,” she teased, indicating the veterinarian’s pregnancy tests.

“Oh yeah, I want you to have a foal or a calf,” she teased in return as she crossed her legs, trying to relax.

Allyssa laughed again, imagining that and then wondering if those tests would have worked. She knew the only true way to tell was a blood test, but she hadn’t wanted to look for a gynecologist. They both needed to get their annuals and had been putting it off for a while.

Fey must have been thinking along the same lines. She said, “You know, if this is positive we are going to have to find you a vet.”

“A vet?” Allyssa sputtered, still laughing.

“A doctor of your own,” she teased, joining in the laughter.

“Well, we have to see if we get a plus or a minus…” she began and then heard the ding go off on the timer she had used. They exchanged a glance as she went to check the stick sitting in the bathroom.

Fey tensed, waiting as she watched her wife. If that first insemination worked, they were extremely lucky. And it would mean she was well over a month along. She’d have to check the dates if that was the case….

“It says negative,” Allyssa said sadly, turning around and holding up the stick.

“Damn,” Fey muttered under her breath. Standing up, smiling tremulously at her wife, she said, “Well, we can try again.”

Allyssa nodded, staring at the stick and feeling her heart plunge into her stomach…or maybe that was all the crackers she had been forced to eat. The negative result meant she had a flu bug or something. “Wait…look…” she said, bringing the stick out of the bathroom and showing her wife. “Is that changing to a plus or….”

Fey looked at the stick. She’d bought a mid-priced test after they decided to check just in case. Maybe it wasn’t as accurate as the more expensive tests? But there had been a dizzying array of tests in the pharmacy aisle of the store and they all claimed to give accurate results. There was a minus sign in the indicator box, but it did look like the line through it was darkening as they watched it. “I think it’s trying?” she asked, wonderingly.

“It worked,” Allyssa said quietly a moment later, realizing the impact of what she was saying.

“It worked,” Fey echoed, looking up at her wife as she rose slowly from where she was sitting on the end of the bed, trying to see how her wife was feeling.

They were both quiet for a time and then Allyssa asked, “What now?”

“Now, we find you that vet,” she smiled and gave her wife the biggest smile she could.
