The clerk glances down at my purchases and sighs. She factors to the again. “Strive to not spend all day in there.”

“I don’t suppose we’re the primary ladies to do that,” Virginia mutters as we enter the restroom collectively.

There’s one rest room, no stall, and nil privateness.

“Possibly you two can wait within the hallway.”

Indigo rolls her eyes. “You don’t have something we don’t have.”

Virginia grasps Indigo and whirls her round. “We gained’t look.”

“I wasn’t going to look,” Indigo claims.

“Significantly? You have been watching Leia like she’s a science experiment.”

“It’s science.”

I tune out their bickering whereas I open the three packages and lay them facet by facet on the sink subsequent to the bathroom. The directions declare the checks will work even when it’s not morning. I hope they’re proper.

“You possibly can flip round now,” I inform Indigo and Virginia as soon as I’ve peed on the sticks.

“I’ve set my alarm to a few minutes.” Indigo waves her telephone within the air.

“What are you going to do when you’re pregnant?” Virginia asks.

Pregnant! No. That is to show I’m not pregnant. However what if I’m? I clasp my chest as my respiration turns into labored. Did somebody steal all the air in right here?

Indigo slaps Virginia’s shoulder. “Strategy to go. You’re giving the pregnant woman a coronary heart assault.”

Pregnant woman? My knees weaken and I sway to the facet. Indigo wraps an arm round my waist earlier than I faceplant on the ground.

“Why don’t you sit down?”

I scan the utilitarian restroom. “The place?”

“On it.” Virginia locations rest room paper on the bathroom seat till it’s coated. “That is pretty much as good because it will get.”

Indigo helps me sit and I drop my face into my palms. “This can be a catastrophe.”

“It’s not a catastrophe. You’ve a superb job. A superb residence. A supportive household. And a person who loves you. You’re going to be effective.”

I whip my head up. “Household? My mother and father haven’t deigned to speak to me since they came upon I used to be pregnant at seventeen and my grandparents died when Isla was a child.”

“Not these jerks. I imply us.” She motions between Virginia and herself. “We’re your loved ones.”

“And you’ve got Isla and Fender, too,” Virginia factors out.

“However how lengthy will I’ve Fender if I’m pregnant. You don’t know what occurred to him. He’s going to lose his thoughts.”

I solely realized I like Fender a short time in the past. I’m not able to lose him. I’ve been planning to maintain him without end. I groan and drop my head into my arms once more.

“What do—” Indigo is minimize off when her alarm beeps. “It’s time.”

I swallow the lump in my throat. It’s time. I don’t need to look. Possibly if I don’t look I can faux this isn’t occurring. I might be a type of ladies who present up on the hospital in labor who didn’t notice they have been pregnant.

“Panic’s over. You’re not pregnant,” Indigo declares.

I gasp. “You appeared.”
