I stared into the abyss of Ryu Medical Center and groaned as a sinking feeling washed through me and I began to feel even more nauseous than I had been feeling the past few weeks. I had been under so much stress and strain that I had chalked it all up to a bundle of nerves. I rarely let stress get to me, but lately it had just been eating away at every part of me. I was to the point that I barely enjoyed anything anymore, except being with Sid. That was the only thing holding me together, was my love for him. And the way he looked at me with warmth, genuine love and appreciation for having me in his life. I could see it and it made me feel wonderful.

When I got nervous, I usually felt it in my stomach. So, I’d let things go, but now it seemed to be getting worse and then I missed my period the week before. That was when I thought for sure I would have a nervous breakdown. I’ve always been as regular as clockwork, but I went several days without, and it began to gnaw at my mind.

So, at Candy’s urging, I took a home pregnancy test. And it came back positive. According to the test, I was pregnant. I was determined to prove that the test was faulty, it just had to be wrong. There was no way that I was with child. Not now. It was the worst time in my life for me to consider becoming a mother.

But it was a damn good possibility. Sid and I had been a bit reckless with our sexual practices. I was not on the pill and he wasn’t snipped either. So, we were really playing Russian roulette with our genitals. That was part of what made the sex so exciting. We just went for it and didn’t hold anything back. It was not like me to throw caution to the wind, but when I was with Sid it was like the whole world didn’t matter and I could do whatever I wanted without any negative consequences.

Now, it was here. I had to face the music.

So, I made an appointment with my doctor. Candy had offered to come with me, but I had to face this alone. I felt it was better that way. I’m not sure why I even told her about the home pregnancy test. I guess I just needed a shoulder to lean on and she was always there.

I walked into the doctor’s office ready to face the music. And the trumpets were blaring…

“You are pregnant,” Dr. Ross said when he came into the office after my initial exam. The exam was a bit awkward, as I guess these types of things are supposed to be, and of course he asked all the weird, embarrassing, and intrusive questions with the sensitivity of a farm animal. But I imagined the routines got old after a while. I could see how that might just get boring as hell after a while.
