Initially, I was annoyed that Patrick thought I'd have menstrual cramps this bad. It was then it struck me.
I was late.
Was it possible? Thoughts raced in my mind as I absentminded told Patrick to get me some aspirin. Anxiety crept into my heart and I pushed it down, chiding myself not to make a mountain out of a molehill. It could be just cramps, after all.
I waited impatiently as Patrick cleaned up the mess I threw up and headed off to get aspirin. I scrambled up, wincing and pausing at the bedside as pain pricked at my abdomen. I stumbled to the bathroom, rummaging the cupboards for the pregnancy test equipment, my heart pounding so loudly I was half afraid Patrick would come back.
Positive. I rubbed my eyes, head spinning, as I looked at the test results. My heart raced if it hadn't been racing for the past minutes when I did the test. My heart thudded as if it would break out of my ribcage. Stars actually appeared at the side of my vision.
Positive.
You've got to be kidding me.
