Three Months Later

I didn't understand what was going on. I couldn't be!

"Are you sure? All your tests were accurate?" The small grey haired doctor nodded. A small smile played on her lips.

"Do you know where the father is?"

"No," I looked down to the ground. "It was just a one time thing."

"Well, that's all it takes usually. So tell me how did you met this guy?"

I sighed, "It's stupid, I should of just…..its just….. It should have never happened." I rubbed my eyes, then ran my hands through my hair.

"Let me guess," the doctor came and sat next to me on the examination table " you two met on the street, you needed help and he was cute and there. What could it hurt right?" The doctor gave a shrug, "You end up in conversation, you two have some stuff in common. Next thing you know you invite him up to your place for just a quick cup of coffee, you get to talking more, you get more comfortable with each other, joking and what not. Your thinking the guys not only cute but he's charming and intelligent, you really like him. An instant attraction, you feel like you've never felt before." She put a hand to her heart excitedly emphasizing her point "Then you two end up in bed together and come morning there's no trace of him." The doctor put a hand on her hip when finished.

"close enough." The doctor got off the table and grabbed her charts off the end of the table that held the magazines and puzzles put there for the younger patients. She stood in front of me clutching the charts to her chest with one hand.

"I'm sorry I,mjust familiar with this particular scenario in more ways than one and I'm lashing out. I'm sure it's not doing you any good." She waved a hand absently.

"Don't worry about it." I looked up at the doctor smiling for the first time today. Even though it wasn't a real smile it was still some sign showing that I was willing to deal with this. "You know," I said after a few seconds, "it's not that I'm not happy. I really am, I just….It's not the way I wanted it to happen. I mean we met and hit it off. I thought we might of started something that night but I was just a good lay in the end." I looked down shaking my head, fiddling with the strings on my kaki pants.

"Maybe I'm over reacting. I didn't get his number or anything and he did say he worked for a big company. Maybe I'm just assuming he would do something like that instead of going to him and getting his side of the story."

"Well, Karen all I can say is track him down talk with him and if everything goes ok start over, take it slow." I smiled at that. It felt good to talk, to get it out in the open and sharing it instead of treating it like a dirty secret.

The doctor shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other. She cleared her throat and shifted again.

"Uh, this isn't the best time to bring this up but," She crossed her arms over her stomach and looked towards the floor, "We have physicians who will….you know……….if you….If you decide not to um, keep the baby." My head jerked up, eyes wide. The doctor gave me a sympathetic look.

"I know, not exactly a pretty subject but we got the best team here and it would be best to get you an appointment as soon as possible before the situation gets even more delicate."

"Oh no, no. I'm keeping the baby. I'm gonna suck it up and take what I get. Besides nothing could make me give up this baby."

"Ok" She gave a pleased nod. "I'm going to give you a list of some prenatal vitamins to take. Now some only start taking them after your 5th trimester ok? The others you should start now." she scribbled on a piece of paper from her charts and handed it to me. I thanked her and folded it up, putting it in my pocket.

"Also I want you to come see me monthly or how ever many times you want. Ask questions and go to classes. Get all the information you need. You'll fell a whole lot better if you do."

"Alright. I'll be sure and do that."

"Until next time then. I hope everything works out for you." I gave a sigh.

"yeah. Thanks again doc, I'll probably be in again next month." and with that I hopped off the examination table, got my purse and keys, and headed out the door.

A guilty pang hit my stomach suddenly, I just ignored it. I couldn't tell her. She wouldn't know what to do. I continued walking down the marble white halls of the hospital. I needed someone who was experienced in my sort of situation. Someone who knew about dreams……nightmares. I had been having them I guess ever since I got pregnant and they hadn't stopped. The same dream almost every night, that was just not normal.

A.N. Ok, I'm trying something new here so if it sucks….sorry. I would appreciate some advice and so on and so forth…..anything that might make the story better, don't hesitate to state it. I hope you all enjoy this. I saw the movie and though it was great but like every movie there is always that one thing that bugs so I decided to fix it ………..sort of. Any who can't give away any more, you might get an idea of what this story is about…that would be great but greater if your left on the edge of your seats…or at least gets you interested.

R&R please!
