"Dr. Weaver!" Jing-Mei ran toward her boss with an urgent sense. It had been almost two months since she had found out she was pregnant, and she felt by this time everyone should know. She was gaining weight: just a little, but still gaining. And she felt she should give everyone some notice.
"Dr. Chen," Kerry stopped her crutching and turned around.
"We need to talk.. do you have a minute?" She paused for a moment before she realized Kerry was still walking down the sidewalk.
"Sure. What's on your mind?" She turned toward the young asian woman. She and Deb, or Jing-Mei as she was now called, had become fast friends when County accepted her residency in January.
"I just.. I wanted to let you know.. I have a medical problem you should know about and.."
"You're pregnant?" Deb nodded. How had she known? Kerry picked up on the confused feelings she had. "Usually when a woman has something medicallly wrong with her, at least in my experience with staff, it's usually not a real problem at all.. when are you due?"
"Umm.. third week of January. I just wanted to let you.." she stuttered.
"I know. It's okay. I know it's not my place to say, but I haven't seen you with a guy lately.. everything alright?"
She almost laughed, but inside she was a bit angered at the question. Why did she have a right to know who the father was? Or even if Deb knew who the father was! It was insanity, and she knew it, but she thought Kerry had a right to know.. they were somewhat close, after all.
"Actually, my boyfriend works in the ER. I'm seeing Dave Malucci." She stumbled on the last two words and then walked faster, eager to away from the secret she just blatantly told.
