Chapter Thirteen

Phoebe walked through the door of the office as Peanut held it open. After another argument about the doctor’s visit this morning and the restless night she’d had before, she wasn’t in a very good mood. Since Peanut had arranged to have this appointment this afternoon after talking to his friend this morning, she’d agreed to come. She wasn’t too happy about his highhandedness but after a simple google search she’d decided to allow it. Dr. Gilbert was one of the leading OB/GYN’s in the area specializing in complicated and at-risk pregnancies. Getting an appointment with him should have taken weeks but somehow Peanut had gotten her one the same day. She wasn’t sure she even wanted to know how he’d managed it.

She walked to the receptionist’s desk and waited while the woman was on the phone. She checked for a sign in sheet but didn’t see one. The woman at the desk smiled at her as she hung up and asked for her name. When she gave it, she was handed paperwork to fill out and told to have a seat. Peanut was a silent shadow as she walked to two chairs along one wall. She was glad that Jasmine was in school today. She didn’t want Jasmine to feel the tension between her and Peanut. She was still angry with him and he’d been taciturn all morning.

She filled out the forms as best she could without knowing a lot of her mother’s or father’s medical history. It made her heart twinge a little because by the time her mother died she’d barely even known her. How had her life gotten so off kilter? She didn’t know but from now on she wasn’t allowing it to happen. She’d do what she wanted for a change. No more letting other people push her to do things she didn’t want to do.

Phoebe didn’t want to admit that she was already letting Peanut push her into something by being here today. Fine, so she had some work to do but she was going to get there. She returned the papers to the woman at the desk before sitting down next to Peanut again. He sat with his legs stretched out and his hands resting on the arms of the chair, looking more like he was in his living room than a doctor’s office. Several women eyed him warily. One was openly eye-fucking him, which was rude considering he had obviously come here with her. For all the woman knew they could be married, and she was sitting there watching him like he was a piece of meat. Phoebe found herself glaring at the redhead sourly. She probably looked like a jealous wife or girlfriend, but she couldn’t help it. Frustrated, she grabbed a parenting magazine off the table and started flipping through it.

“Stop abusing the magazine, Lovely. You can’t still be mad about me making the appointment when someone had just canceled. You said it yourself, Dr. Gilbert is one of the best baby docs in the state,” Peanut grumbled from beside her.
