"Alice Hale?" A young woman in a nurse´s costume walked over to her. In her hand was one of those red clipboards that you only saw in old films. "It seems that you...passed out?" she asked, just looking at the clipboard.
"No!" Alice said in mock amazement. Then, seeing the nurse´s face droop slightly she said again,"I thought someone...kicked me from behind..." but this seemed to have an even worse impact. She shut up and stared at her hands. "Um... am I pregnant?" She asked the nurse, hoping to get an accurate answer.
"Well, your blood test tells us that..." the nurse flipped the pages on her clipboard. "You are not pregnant!" She smiled at her. "Were you hoping to be?" she asked, slightly hopeful.
"No. You gave me the answer I wanted to hear." Alice smiled at the nurse. "That´ll be all." She waved the nurse away. The nurse, however stood still.
"Would you like to see your boyfriend?" she smiled, a private joke in the air. "Or is he a...girlfriend?" she started laughing lightly. "Someone wrote;
"Alice, hope you are well. Me and Ed are at a hospital near yours. Will visit soon.
Lots of love, Jas."
"SO...is Jas a girl or boy?" she asked, sitting on the edge of her bed. Alice, however, just smiled.
"I´ll tell you. If you tell me if your baby´s a boy or girl?" she beckoned to the nurse´s stomach.
"I´m not pregnant!" The nurse shouted.
"Oops. My mistake!" Alice stifled giggles.
"Hmph!" The nurse gave her a dirty loook and left.
"Idiot."
