Chapter Seven

Renee

IT’S BEEN A FEW WEEKS SINCE THE FIRST threat was left on my porch. I’m honestly not sure if there’s been anymore or not because Shadow hasn’t said a word about it. We talked the day after it happened, and I told him that I completely agree with not knowing what’s going on unless he feels it’s something that I really need to know. For the time being, we’re staying at the clubhouse and Mike is with me anytime I have to go to work or therapy.

Today, I’m at work and it’s been non-stop since I walked through the doors. We’ve had everything from the common cold as the weather starts to get colder to broken bones, heart issues, and car accidents. I love the days when we’re busy, even if it means seeing so many people in pain. That’s the one part of my job that I can’t stand. I’d rather be back up on the maternity floor where, for the most part, happiness is the main feeling. But I’ll take what I can get and make sure that I’m there to help as many people as possible.

“Renee, you feeling okay?” Liz asks, sitting down next to me as I take a breather in the lounge.

“Not really. I’ve been feeling off for the last few days. I don’t know what’s wrong,” I tell her, putting my head down on the table in front of me.

“What’s going on?” she asks, rubbing my back as she sits down next to me.

“I’ve been so tired and nauseous. It’s been at least a week,” I answer, not lifting my head.

“Any fever or anything else?” she asks, continuing to rub my back.

“No. At first I thought I was just getting back into things too fast, but I know in my gut that’s not it. And, with the stress of everything going on, I haven’t had my period, so there’s that too,” I explain as I finally lift my head.

“Are you sure you’re not pregnant?” Liz asks, standing up to walk over to the fridge and grabbing the ginger ale that I have in there.

“No. I mean, this isn’t what I felt like when I was pregnant with Dylan,” I tell her, thinking back over everything that’s gone on lately. Shadow and I aren’t exactly using protection, but with our schedules it’s been hectic.

“Let’s go,” she says, grabbing my drink and walking out of the room. “We’re going to the lab now so that you don’t have to worry about this all day. You’ll know one way or another and can make the right decision about what to do. Besides, you’re a nurse and will realize that not every pregnancy is the same.”

I follow Liz through the halls in a daze. Is it really possible that I’m pregnant? I mean the last few months it’s been hit or miss if I even see Shadow. He’s up before me to go to work and then comes in just before I fall asleep. He’s exhausted and hasn’t taken a day off in weeks.
