"Hello? Miss. Sidle? Are you OK?"
Sara scrambled to pick up the phone, caught it just before it hit the floor and quickly held it back to her ear.
"Sorry, dropped the phone, what did you say?" She almost squeaked out before clearing her throat while listening to the speaker at the other end question her.
"Is that Miss. Sidle? Sara Sidle?" A voice spoke through, Sara's heart drooped as she realised that the voice speaking to her was a young women. Still curious she answered.
"Yes, this is Sara Sidle."
"Hi there Miss Sidle, this is Betty from the Munroe clinic, you sent your forms in a few days ago. Part of our screening program is a personal meeting followed by a physical check-up. I was hoping to arrange a time."
"Right OK, well today is actually my day off, I don't suppose you have a space available today do you?"
"I'll just check for you miss." A few moments of silence filled only with the faint sounds of a keyboard typing followed on the phone."
"Yes we happen to have had a cancellation. Is 11:30 OK? It should take about 1 hour to reach us from your address."
Sara glanced at the clock, 9:15, yes she had time.
"Sure that's fine. Thanks for getting back to me, I'll see you later."
And with that she hung up the phone. She placed it back on the receiver steadying herself against the table with the hand which had just replaced while her other hand reached up and placed a hand on her abdomen.
She stood there for a moment until the clock hand moved and brought her back to the present. She threw on some smart-ish but comfortable clothes after having a shower. Grabbed her purse and grabbed her car keys before heading out of her door, locking it, making her way down the steps to the ground floor of her complex where her car was parked outside.
Looking at the clock as she got in the car she read the digital display saying 10:15. 'That's good, I have about 15 minutes spare, I know where it is but I will need that in case I get lost. And maybe to have time to calm down when I get there.'
Turning the key until the engine came into life, she then pushed on the pedal and pulled out into the road, turning left at the exit as she pulled onto the road. Heading towards the Munroe clinic for her appointment. Wondering if this would be the last stage before they agreed to let her have a baby or not.
