~*53*~*27*~

"Mrs. Detwieler."

I rise. Maria gives me a reassuring smile.

"It's alright," she says.

I walk after the nurse into a room.

She hands me a hospital gown and says, "The doctor will be with you shortly. You

can change behind there," pointing toward a curtained-off portion of the room.

She leaves, and I go to change.

This is the first time I have been to a doctor since I had scarlet fever when I was thirteen.

Max and I know that I have to go to and see the doctor, to be

completely sure of my pregnancy and the baby's health.

Maria had volunteered to come, as Max had to attend to some business out of town

for a few days. Some times it's hard being a producers wife, but it has its ups and downs.

After I change, I sit on the bed and wait.

It seems like it has been hours until the doctor finally comes in,

but with just one glance at the clock, I can tell it has only been minutes.

The doctor introduces herself.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Detweiler. I'm Doctor Julie. First, I want to ask you a few basic questions."

"Okay," I say, becoming a little less tense.

"How long have you been married?" Is her first question.

"It will be two months tomorrow." I reply, somewhat uneasy.

"How are you feeling? Have you felt nauseous at all since you have been married?"

"No, but there was this one time when I had done some hiking and felt faint afterwords." I say, thinking

back to when Maria had told us the news.

She nodded and wrote down some notes. After this, she examined me.

It was over in five minutes, much to my happiness.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Detweiler. I will have to analyze this test, when I get the results I'll

let you know," she says, dismissing me.

I walk out of the examination room to the waiting room. I look around but I don't see

Maria anywhere.

I ask the nurse behind the reception desk, "Excuse me, have

you seen the woman I came in with a while ago?"

"She has gone in to see the doctor, she should be out in a minute." She replied,

looking annoyed.

"Thank you."

I go sit down. I hope Maria didn't faint or get sick while she was waiting for me.

A woman comes in and sits down next to me.

"How do you do?" She says, smiling towards me.

"How do you do." I reply, still observed in my thoughts.

"A nice day today, isn't it?" She asks me.

"Hmm? Ah, yes, a very nice day."

"Are you here for a pregnancy test?" She questions.

"Yes, and you?" I reply.

"Yes, I am." She remarks. She looks down into her lap and says, "This is the first time

I've come. My husband is out of town, and I had no one else to come with me."

"Me, too. My husband is out of town on business, so my friend came with me." I

reply. Try to turn the conversation to another topic, I ask, "Have you heard about

the auditions for Romeo and Juliet tomorrow?"

She looks up and says, "Yes, in fact my husband will be trying out for the part of

Romeo's father."

Surprised, I reply, "Oh, really? My husband is directing that play!"

"Ah, that means we shall be seeing each other again." She says with a smile.

At this point, Maria came out. She looks surprised when she sees me and says, "I

hope I didn't keep you waiting, Geunevere. I just didn't think you'd finish up so

soon."

"That's alright, I was just talking to Mrs.…" I look questioningly toward the lovely

woman seated next to me.

"Higgins. Eliza Higgins."
