Chapter 3 - Baby Blues?
Really didn't want to go into work today. I had really bad stomach cramps, but Kerry wasn't having any of it. I called in sick and was told to get my arse into work. She isn't human I swear. So anyway, I got into work, feeling really ill, and was on my feet all day with John fussing over me insisting I had a break. I needed a break pretty badly, but I knew that once I was out of that hospital, I wasn't coming back. So I carried on, struggled on really, until I threw up in the ladies toilettes. Then, and only then, was I finally allowed to go home.
'Look, I'll be fine.' No wonder John didn't believe me. I sounded terrible.
'Ok,' he didn't believe me, 'I call when I get back to county and then'
'Every five minutes after that. Ok. Fine. Look, just GO.'
'Alright, alright. Hey,' He turned round while heading for the door, 'Susan said she'd come round after work.' Then he left, before I could throw the glass at him that was next to me.

'Hi. How are you?' Susan came in slowly, Carter must have warned her that I was grouchy.
'Feeling better. Just a tummy bug I think. I should be fine for my shift tonight.'
'No way. You are staying right here. I have specific orders, from your lovely boyfriend, not to let you go anywhere. And I'm here all night to make sure you keep to the rules.' Great, I've got a babysitter.
'Look Susan, it's nice of you yeah, but I'm fine know. I just OW.'
'Oh my God, Abby are you ok?' Susan rushed forward. I was doubled over, the pain in my stomach was terrible. But, then it had gone as quickly as it had come. It had felt like someone was kicking me, from the inside. It felt like, like I was,
'Pregnant! Oh Abby I knew it. Congratulations!' Susan gave me a huge hug. 'Did you know?'
'Um, no. Well I guess the thought's passed threw my mind in the last hour but it didn't go through to the next round.'
'What the,'
'Oh,' I laughed. I guess that sounded pretty stupid. ' I've been having boxing matches with my theories. Pregnancy was beaten by carbon monoxide poisoning.'
'Abby what? You know what, I don't want to know.' We both fell apart laughing.
