1 MONTH LATER

Jamie woke up at 5am to the annoying sound of her alarm clock going off. When she sat up she was hit by a waver of nausea/dizziness and so she quickly laid back down. When she tried to sit up again she had the same reaction, but she knew what was about to happen and so she rushed to the bathroom, and made it to the toilet just in time. She choked and gagged until it came up. (which was about 3 minutes later)

She began to cry and unknown to her, her unknown morning-sickness had caused Lu to wake up.

"Hey what's going on huh?" Lu asked in a sleepy tone. The night before she had been called into work and so Lu wasn't able to sleep much the night before. She had gotten in shortly after 3am.

"Oh Lu ! I'm sorry ! Did I wake you?" Jamie asked as another round of sickness hit her and she hunched over the toilet .

"It's all right sweetie are you OK?"

"I'm fine Lu don't worry about me"

"Do you want me to give you a check up? I am a doctor you know."

"No I'm fine really don't worry about me."

"But I am worried about you."

In that 1st month they had grown very close. The girls were like the daughter's that Lu had never had. And Jamie was sort of like the little sister that Lu had never possessed.

Lu accepted them into her heart with out a second thought it was like she and the children had grown up together. Lu was 18 when Jamie had first started coming over to her house. Jamie's mother and Lu had at one point in time been real good friends and Jamie's mom was one of Lu's patients.

1 Month After That

Jamie had been sick every morning for the past month. Lu had a pretty good idea what was going on but she wanted to see if Jamie would come to her. She was in the bathroom once again when…..

"If you need anything you know where I'll be." Lu said to Jamie as she dressed Emily.

"OK Lu don't worry!"

"I'll try not to… anyway I'm going to finish getting the and ready for Day Care. You go lay down. Your not in any fit state to go to school today."

"But I have a big.."

"No buts….go lye down. I'll be in to talk with you in a few minutes. I'm going to run them to Day Care."

"But won't you be late?"

"I called in and told Lana I would be a little late today."

Lu left and Jamie hurried to the bathroom and performed a Pregnancy test on herself. She waited 3 minutes and then when the word 'Pregnant ' showed up on the test she started to tremble with fear. What would Lu do if she found out? Did she already suspect something was wrong? How could she care for another baby? Would Lu kick her out? Where would she go?

All of these questions and more played through her head like a song that repeats itself over and over and over again. She laid the test on the sink and went to her room she laid on her bed and stayed there until Lu got home.

30 MINUTES LATER

Lu knocked on Jamie's bedroom door.

"Come in!" Jamie called

Lu walked in and sat down on the bed beside Jamie

"So what did you want to talk to me about Lu" Jamie asked acting totally confused

"Jamie I want you to listen to me OK?" Lu said in one of her tones that can only be described as a Lu tone.

"OK sure" Jamie's expression was blank and if she was worried at all she didn't show it.

"Jamie I know you've been through a lot of hard core shit lately and if my guess is correct it is about to get a lot harder…." Lu was interrupted by a sudden outburst of tears from Jamie.

"Lu I need to show you something."
