Particularly when he saw AJ step into the office and look around...
Chapter 5
"Have you had other episodes of dizziness?"
Elizabeth finished buttoning her blouse and started to shake her head. "Well, a few, yes" she admitted to Rebecca, flicking a glance at her. There was something about the female physician that inspired trust. "But nothing this bad."
"Nausea? Missed periods?"
She felt the blood drain from her head and sank back against the exam table. "You think I'm pregnant?"
Rebecca lips twitched. "You know better than I at this point, Elizabeth. Is it a possibility? Might as well look at the most obvious explanation first, don't you agree?"
Despite everything, she and Jason had never discussed having more children together. They'd married because of Cameron and anything beyond that had never been an issue. Perhaps that was odd, considering how long they'd been together, but Jason had never brought it up, and Elizabeth had taken her cue from him. Besides, she'd been too busy trying to walk the tightrope of being a wife without letting her husband know that she'd gone beyond their original arrangement by actually falling in love with him.
"I suppose it's a possibility," she admitted, feeling the color return to her face with a vengeance. Though for what reason, she couldn't say. She and Jason were married, after all. "But I'd have to be pretty early along. And I really think that it's unlikely..."
"Let's run a test to be certain. Okay?"
Ten minutes later, Elizabeth walked out of Rebecca's office, feeling more dazed than when she'd come to and found herself in Jason's arms in the exam room.
The scene that greeted her, however, was a blow she could have done without.
Jason standing near the wall, his expression closed.
AJ sitting on a chair next to Cameron, their two heads close as they looked at the handheld video game that Cameron was playing with.
"What are you doing?" Her voice was sharper than she intended.
Cameron's head lifted and he bounded over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You're okay?"
She leaned over and kissed his forehead. "I'm fine," she assured him. Then she straightened and looked at her husband. "Nothing to worry about at all. I'd like to go home, now, though."
"Hey, great," AJ pushed to his feet. "Ma told me that Jason there built a house with his own two hands. Could hardly believe it. Can't wait to see it. I guess that's the house you two share. Strange how Ma never said you guys were hitched."
"No!" She flushed and looked at Jason, wishing that he would say something. She wasn't surprised at all that Monica hadn't mentioned her. The woman would prefer to pretend she didn't exist at all. "I mean...perhaps another time. I am feeling a bit tired."
AJ shrugged. "Sure. Whenever. I'll be around a while, after all."
At that, Jason looked over at his half-brother. "Why?"
"Because I'm going to be working at CeeVid. I'm moving to Pine Valley, man. I thought Ma told you all this. Isn't it great? It'll be almost like old times again."
Elizabeth felt Jason's eyes like a physical thing. "Sure," he said sardonically. "Like old times."
