It is the Wednesday morning of my first day back at work since we had the transfer. I have been feeling fine the past few days – only some mild cramps which we were told to expect. Franky has been brilliant at looking after me and making sure I'm comfortable and have what I need at hand, she is heading back to work again today as well, after taking a few holiday days to stay with me, I could tell by her demeanour as soon as we awoke this morning that she doesn't want to be separated from me.
"Hey Franky, come here, I'll be fine at work babe, it's only two classes then I'm in my office all day doing paperwork. Don't worry, I'll rest as much as possible." I give her a quick kiss then grab my bag and keys.
"I know you will baby, just call me if you need anything, and I mean anything, bye!"
It is now Friday night and we are both curled up on the sofa watching Netflix, something has been on my mind since I woke up but I've yet to say anything to Franky. As if she can read my mind she looks up at me and asks what's wrong.
"Well the thing is, and don't get excited or anything but my period never came when it should have this month and like I said to Dr Cooper I have been regular for over 20 years. I know it's only been one week and we have another week to wait but I can't help wondering if maybe it's worked."
"Oh wow, really? Any other symptoms you think you might have, are you feeling a bit tender anywhere? And when I ask that I mean your boobs" Franky says in an excited tone.
"Well now that you mention it they have been a little, but I'm not sure if it's just in my head because I want it to be real." I say frowning slightly.
"If only we had one of the best psychologists in the whole of Melbourne who could help differentiate between what's physical and what's in your head…oh wait a minute Gidge, that would be you!" Franky says with a wink and pokes my arm.
"Oh very funny Franky, you know what I mean, and I'm just very impatient!"
"Just over a week from now and we'll know, we just need to wait a bit longer sweetie." I smile at Franky and decide I'm going to take a nap snuggled against her side.
