ALLY:

Dr. Jones was listening gravely to me.

"Did you get your menstrual period?"

I said,

"No."

She told me,

"It sounds like you're pregnant."

She reached into the cupboard below the sink and the biohazard disposable box where people disposed of used vaccine needles and pulled out a small cup.

"I can do a test through your urine to see if you're pregnant for sure."

I said,

"Funny you say that, doctor. I actually have to urine now."

She handed me the cup.

"Here. Just don't flush it."

I went to the bathroom and urinated in the cup and put the lid on the cup. I washed my hands. She was patiently waiting for me with a pair of latex gloves on and a little white ammonia strip. I handed her the cup and she dipped it in. The strip turned neon pink.

"Yes, you're definitely pregnant."

I smiled. This was such exciting news for Austin and I. I asked,

"I am?"

She smiled.

"Yes, your urine never lies. You're pregnant!"

I was so happy to hear this! I couldn't wait to Austin and he would spread the news to his family and my family, and our four best friends, his childhood best friend Dez Wade and his girlfriend Carrie Lainfield and my childhood best friend Trish De La Rosa and her husband Jace Dillon. Dr. Jones listened to my heartbeat.

"Your heart is normal."

She looked at my eyes, ears, throat and nose.

"Everything's fine. You're also up to date on your immunization records. I think you're good to go."

I said,

"Alright. Thank you, Dr. Jones."

She smiled.

"The pleasure is mine."

I got home. I changed into a Minnie Mouse onesie, and I went to the kitchen and grabbed some sliced avacados and some tortilla chips and turned on the TV. I felt like being lazy since I didn't have work and I just felt like stuffing my face and watching every Downton Abbey, one of my favorite TV programs. Downton Abbey was my favorite TV show, besides Glee, The Walking Dead, Project Runway, Friends, House, Big Bang Theory, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Battlestar Galactica, Law & Order Criminal Intent, Degrassi, Supernatural, Modern Family, 2 broke girls, The Office, Seinfeld and How I met your mother. If you're asking, I was into Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs and House before I met Austin. I was into medical soaps, but I never knew I'd marry a doctor.

A man could have any career that would suffice- a lawyer, a doctor, a construction work, pilot, bartender, teacher, maybe even a male stripper. Austin definitely made something of his life- unlike my asshole of an ex-boyfriend, Kevin, who was a cocaine, gun and heroin dealer and for all I knew, he had gone back to prison, or was picking up garbage off a freeway and wearing a jumpsuit, paying a huge ass fine or something else serious for breaking the law. I didn't know how this happened, but I felt sleepy, so I just lay on the couch and fell asleep. When I woke up, I could feel Austin gently rubbing my hair and I noticed a white sherpa blanket on top of me.

"Austin?"

I said groggily.

He pet my head.

"Hey, sleepy head. You're so adorable when you sleep."

I smiled at him.

"Aww, baby!"

"I also covered you with a blanket. You looked a little cold. Which, by the way, how did your appointment with Dr. Jones go?"

I said,

"I'm pregnant."

He smiled.

"I actually kind of put that together, because you've been craving food, this week, you were throwing up, you said your breasts were sore, and you said you were really dizzy and tired."

I asked,

"Austin, how do you feel about it?"

He smiled.

"I'm so excited for you! I can't believe we're going to be parents."

I said,

"Me either! What other patients did you see today?"

Austin chuckled.

"As you know, I gave a guy a prostate exam and he tested negative for prostate cancer and I treated a fourteen-year-old girl who was in the emergency room with a pyrexia of one hundred and nine and projectile vomiting."

I said,

"Austin, the fact that I'm having children and you're a doctor makes me feel good. You know why? Because when we have this child, you'll always know what to do."

He smiled.

"Aw, I love you."

"I love you, too."
