A month that passed. Juliette and Rick had been married for two weeks. Juliette was still moving things into his house. Juliette had been throwing up the last two days. Rick was in the shower getting ready for work. Juliette came running into the bathroom and threw up. Rick opened the shower a little bit.
"That's it you're not going to work today." He said.
"I gotta go." "I have to hand that article in to Angela."
"I can do that."
"I have that phone interview this afternoon." "I need that lead for the story."
"Baby you're sick."
"I'll be fine."
"You know ever since we got married you've become so stubborn." He said jokingly.
"Well to bad you're stuck with me now."
"Good." Rick got out of shower. "Juliette you really should stay home baby." "You look so pale."
"Well thanks a lot." "I'll be fine don't worry."
"I'm supposed to worry about you." "I'm your husband."
"I remember." "I was there." "Now get dressed we're gonna be late."
They went to work.
"Good morning Angela." Juliette said.
"Good morning." As soon as Angela saw Juliette she knew she shouldn't be there.
Juliette had been at her desk for about ten minutes.
"Juliette can I see you in my office?" Angela said from her office door.
"Yeah." She went into Angela's office.
"Juliette go home."
"Why?"
"It's obvious you're not feeling well."
"I'm fi- She fainted.
"Oh my god, Juliette." "Rick!" "Rick get in here!" Rick came running in.
"Oh god what happened her?" Rick asked worried.
"She was talking to me and she just fainted." Angela said as she dialed 911. "Hello we need an ambulance."
Juliette was rushed to the hospital. Rick had been waiting in the waiting room for about a half hour. The doctor came out.
"Mr. Porter?" She said.
"Yes." He stood up.
"We have Juliette's test results back."
"Is she alright?"
"She's suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum."
"What's that?"
"Extreme morning sickness."
"Morning sickness?"
"Yes."
"That's all?"
"That's all."
"So she's gonna be ok?"
"Yes." "She's dehydrated so we have her on an IV but she's going to be just fine." "We'll have to keep her here for a few days to make sure she can keep food down."
"Ok." "How far along is she?"
"Two months."
"Ok." "Can I see her?"
"She's not awake yet but sure."
Rick went in her room. He sat down next to her bed and smiled. He held her hand. Fifteen minutes later she opened her eyes.
"Rick?" She said confused. "What's going on?"
"You're in the hospital."
"The hospital?" "Why?"
"You fainted in Angela's office."
"I did?"
"Yeah." "You scared the hell outta me."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You're pregnant."
"I'm what?" She said shocked.
"You're pregnant." "You have extreme morning sickness."
"How far along?"
"Two months."
"Two months?"
"Yeah I guess the pull out method doesn't work." He said laughing.
"I guess not."
"I know we didn't plan this yet but I'm happy."
"Me to." He kissed and hugged her. "Two months?" "Great." She thought. "I have no way of contacting John." "How am I supposed to tell Rick he might not be the father of the baby?" "Should I even tell him?" "It's not like I can tell John anyway."
