Rita stared at the many white sticks laying on top of the toilet top how was she going to tell Iain?
It started all after the day of the shooting when Jacob had been shot, according to Iain him and dixie had had a bad day and whilst dixie was out on her date after being asked out that day he had decided that he would like to go to the pub, but his luck was that everyone had excuses except the "little blondie" Rita freeman, so when the time came round and drinks were done one thing lead to another and when morning came they were laying arms wrapped around each other in bed.
"What happened last night?" Iain rolled over to Rita.
"I think you can guess what happened sherlock." she replied laughing.
"Too many shots? and lots of tequila?" "Haven't had a hangover like this in while." he replied rubbing his head.
"Have you got any paracetamol?" "Now you mention my head is killing."
"i've got some downstairs left cupboard above the kettle," "Whilst your there stick the kettle on mines coffee milk two sugars." Iain replied cheekily.
"Seeing as I'm feeling nice this morning i'll see what i can do."
* 2 months later…*
"Rita you can't go on like this you've been sick each morning I've seen you and don't deny it." we don't i check you over." spoke Zoe.
"Im fine honestly probably caught a bug or something working in a hospital and all that."
"Are you sure why don't you take a pregnancy test just to make sure?"
'What are you insinuating Zoe? I don't sleep around." replied Rita sharply walking off.
"I never said you did." replied Zoe quietly. "May as well talk to my self."
After the conversation with Zoe Rita did avoid Zoe most of the day deciding paperwork in her office was a better idea, but it wasn't it was just a way for the thoughts and conversation to pop in her head, that was it she needed to know, know it was a stomach bug right?
Staring at the sticks that lay on top of the toilet waiting for the three minutes to end possibly the worst three minutes of her life and that was saying something for someone who works as a nurse,
When the time was up she was scared to look incase it gave her the answer she didn't want and that was to be pregnant,
Was she selfish? maybe but her and Iain hadn't been going out long and was baby the best thing to happen now?
Rita didn't even no much about him, his life or wether they would be together till death do part. So how was baby right now going to be alright?
When the positive sign came up on all five that was it Rita found her self collapsed on the floor in a heap thoughts and mind racing, even though she was unsure she had to tell Iain.
Crap how was he going to take this?
"And?"
"And what Zoe?"
"Well i haven't seen you for while, figured you were avoiding me and my question."
"If you must know they were all positive." replied Rita in hushed tone.
"Oh Reet's let's go to my office?"
"What are you going to do?, You're going to tell him right?"
"Yes, no i don't know." "Me and the father have only been together a while, and i don't even know his middle name for christ sakes."
"I'm pretty sure i love him, I've never felt like this around mark you know?" "But what if were not ready for a baby yet you know being early days and that with our relationship."
"Its Iain's isn't it." Zoe replied bluntly.
"How did you know?"
"Everyone can see it Rita you smile Every-Time he comes in, and you've changed good mind!"
"I think you should defiantly tell him, i don't think you'd cope seeing him everyday know you aborted your baby, and never told him it'd eat you up inside." "But in seriousness I'm here if you need me don't shut us out, night in at mine tonight?"
"Thanks but i think i need to see Iain later rain check?"
"Text me how it goes?"
"Will do thanks again Zoe."
