Ch. 1 Suspicions
It's December, just 4 months after Lu and Jonas's August wedding. Lu is sitting in her office looking over some patient files. As she gets up from her desk to leave for the night, she feels as though she is going to be sick. She blows it off as just the flu.
"Lana," she says as she walks up to the receptionist's desk, "I'm heading home for now. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Whoa! Hold on kid!" Lana exclaims as she looks up at her friend to take the files. "Lu, are you feeling okay?"
"Of course I am! Why do you ask?" Lu asked.
"You don't look so good." Lana said.
"Don't worry," Lu said casually, "I think it's just the flu.
"Well, Lana ain't no doctor, but I don't think it's just the flu. Now what's going on with you girl?" Lana said in a concerned tone.
"You know Lana, to be honest, I don't think it's just the flu either. I mean, I'm 3 weeks late, totally nauseous, and I am always tired."
"Lu, are you telling me what I think you're telling me?"
"Lana, I think I'm pregnant."
"Hey, that's great girl!" Lana exclaimed.
"Lana!" Lu quickly said, "I said I think! I'm not for sure yet."
"Well then you come right over here," Lana said, taking Lu by the hand. "I'll give you a little something for your nerves." She gently placed a pregnancy test in Lu's hands. "Now you go and take that test!" she said, giving Lu a tiny shove towards the restrooms.
