"Maybe we should just wait till the end of the shift because if it is bad news…" I'm entering sutures followed closely by Luka. I turn around to look at him.
"It's not… it's not bad news. Chances of having an abnormal amnio are what? One in a thousand?"
"Two hundred." Oh God…
"Still, pretty good odds." You really think so? It's our baby we are talking about here!
He picks the receiver of the phone and hands it to me.
"We'll be fine." If I could only feel that way without worrying... I'm just too nervous.
I get my cell phone from my pocket and show it to Luka. Press the speed-dial and wait for someone to answer. Luka puts the receiver back on the phone. He looks nervous too.
"Hi, this is Abby Lockhart I think you have my amnio results."
"Yeah, let me check." The woman at the other side of the receiver says.
"She is checking." I whisper to Luka. He takes my left hand in his and then his right one over my wrist. He pulls me towards a close gurney so he can sit down and then with his right arm tried to make me come closer. I'm still a little reluctant and stay as far away as I can, I can't be close if it is bad news.
"Hi"
"Everything is alright. The results are normal." I finally let a smile come to my lips.
"That's great."
Luka closes his eyes and opens them again.
"You seem to have a perfectly healthy baby."
"That's great." He pulls me into his lap and hugs me while he smiles.
"No blood sensitization or any genetic disorders that we can determine."
"That's great. That's great, thank you." Luka pulls me into a kiss. I can't stop smiling!
"Would you like to know the sex of your baby?"
"No, but thanks again. Have a good day."
"You too. And congratulations."
"Thanks." I close the flip of my phone disconnecting the call. He kisses me again but this time he deepens the kiss. I place my arms around his neck and let him hold me.
"So everything is alright?" He says breaking the silence after a while.
"Yeah, nothing that the amnio could detect."
"That means you can relax now."
Chuny enters the sutures room and when she spots us on the gurney she looks at the floor. "Oh sorry. I just need the rapid infuser, have you seen it?"
"It's in trauma 2." I say while I get up from Luka's lap. Well, this was weird.
"Thanks." She says and head back out.
"Let's get something to drink." What? Oh…
"Ok. I'll go get my coat."
"Meet you at admin I need to check on some labs first."
We walk outside silently until he says:
"So what do you think?"
"About what?"
"The baby's… the baby's sex is right there on that amnio report." Oh that…! He isn't giving up, is he?
"Did you know that X chromosome carries three times as much genetic material as the Y."
"And you didn't ask?" No! And I'm not telling you she offered the information.
"Do you think that's why men are simpler?"
Luka swallows hard and then says: "Look, some nurse in Coburn's office knows the sex of our baby and we don't. Isn't that weird?"
"It's a little weird." Ok, I guess it is…
"So?"
"So…"
We reach the coffee cart.
"So… Coffee and apple juice please."
"Eh, two coffees please. I don't know… just makes it seem so real." And more scary...
"You're sixteen weeks, amnio is normal then it is real." Don't even say it…
"Is there anyone we have to tell?"
He's paying for the coffees. "You should probably tell your mother." My mother! Right...
"Oh yeah, I was think about hold off on that."
"Till when?" How about till the baby is born?
"Till…"
I hear the sound of a car heading our way. Luka pulls me out of the way protectively and with a concern look he follows the car with his eyes. He looks back at me. "You ok?"
"Yeah. Isn't that Clemente?" We both run to the ambulance bay to check what happened. And there goes the rest of the conversation, which I know it's not over.

What a day… I'm at admin hanging out, while eating some ice cream.
Morris comes chasing Albright. "Change the orders!" Not again!
"This means war you know."
I hand him a form for the chart.
"Change the damn orders!" I've never seen Morris act like this… as if… Oh… what is he twelve?
Albright takes the chart from Morris's hand and walk away.
"Nice work Morris, she's been driving us crazy all day."
Haleh who is next to me adds: "Refuses to learn any of our names, calls us all nurse."
I'm going through the mail. Nothing interesting here. "She refuses to learn our names too. I think she is only interested in learning the male resident's names."
"I hate women like that." Morris says. Yeah, right… you and your little crush…
I look from Morris back to Haleh. Haleh finally walks away leaving me alone with him.
"Why you still here?" he asks me.
"Em, because my fridge at home is empty and I was hungry. You want a bite?" I offer him part of my ice cream.
"Didn't I see you eating one of those 20 minutes ago?"
I nod. "This is my third." It comes out muffled by the ice cream.
"Third? What are you pregnant?" Oh God… Come on Abby think of something… Think.
I look at Morris, I start smiling, and add: "What? What are you talking about?"
Morris follows and points at me. I'm walking to the trash. "Oh my God you are!"
I throw the ice cream away and say: "You are crazy."
"You are, aren't you?" How the hell do I get away from this one…?
"No" I keep walking. Just keep denying it.
"You are totally pregnant!"
I look around to check that no one can hear us: "So what? You are in love with Albright." There you go!
"No I'm not!"
"Oh, Morris! Come on."
"You shut up."
"You shut up too."
"You shut up first."
Pratt, who walks to the admin desk, "Shut up about what?"
I look at look at Pratt and then back at Morris. "Nothing."
"Nothing." Yeah, that's what I'm talking about… nothing. I better get out of here before someone else finds out.
