Chapter 38
Rachel called her Doctor, she was getting worried, that there was something seriously wrong with her, they managed to squeeze her in that morning, so after break she left and went to the Doctors.
She got there and explained to the Doctor about how she was feeling.
"Is your period late" the Doctor asked
"Yes, but that's not unusual" she replied, the Doctor took some blood and a urine sample.
"I'll get these sent straight to the lab" it was at times like this Rachel was glad she was with BUPA, her test results would be back later in the Afternoon. Rachel returned to the school, and continued with her work.
Finally the afternoon came, and Rachel's phone rang, she answered it.
"Rachel Mason" she said.
"Hi Rachel, this is Dr Sheppard, I have your results for you"
"Oh"
"We tested a few things, and all your tests came back negative, except one" the Doctor said.
"So, what's wrong with me"
"You're Pregnant" The Doctor said.
"No, I can't be, I done a test, I thought they were infallible" Rachel replie
"In a way they are, a Pregnancy test will not give a false positive, but if they are taken too early a false negative is possible"
"Oh" Rachel said, she was happy, but how would she explain this to Eddie, he didn't really want another child.
"Well, Thank you Doctor" Rachel said before hanging up.
She left her office and walked to Eddies class, he was teaching A level Maths at that point. She knocked on his door, and let her self in.
"Mr Lawson, can I have a word please?" she asked and Eddie left his class after instructing the kids to get on with their work.
"Rach, what's up?" he asked knowing there was something not right with her
"I just got back from the Doctors, and I'm pregnant"
"What, but how?"
"Do I really need to tell you how Eddie, Valentines day, at the hotel remember"
"No, I know how, but I mean, the test was negative" he replied
"I know, but sometimes they are wrong"
"I'm going to be a Dad" he said, slightly louder than he wanted to, the entire class heard.
