"Alright. Just sit over there, you should be able to see an urgent care doctor shortly.” The nurse pointed to a seat at the far end of the waiting area.
"Thank you.” I pulled Justin by the hand and went over to the waiting are to sit down.
"The smell around here makes me feel nauseous". I said to Justin who was looking through his phone.
"Ryan wants to know if you're alright. Your phone's off?" It almost seemed like Justin didn't even hear what I said because he had been distracted by Ryan's text.
"Oh no, my phone has been off?" I rummaged through my bag, looking for my phone. "Wait a minute! I think I left my phone back at home".
"Good job, Ashley!” he said sarcastically. “So what do I tell Ryan now?"
"The doctor will see you now." The nurse came for me, interrupting my conversation with Justin.
"Alright, thank you so much." I got up from where I was seated and turned to Justin, "Wait here for me".
"Okaayyy, what do I tell Ryan?" He gave me a look.
"I don't know, tell him whatever.” I followed closely behind the nurse. I’m so glad that IM Corp gave me a great health benefit.
I went in and greeted the doctor.
"Good morning, Miss. What can I do for you today?" After I gave him a rundown of the symptoms I was experiencing, he scribbled some notes and recommended I run some quick tests. My blood sample was taken by the nurse and I was asked to wait for the results.
"I didn't hear you wailing". Justin sarcastically said as I returned to the waiting area with a patch of cotton bandaged over the site where my blood samples were taken from.
"I am not a big baby like yourself."
Justin chuckled.
"How long till we get to know the result of the test?"
"About an hour. That’s what the nurse told me.”
"We'll just wait and get it then." Justin was back to using his phone as he spoke.
"What did you eventually tell Ryan?" Justin turned to look at me, then showed me his phone revealing the reply he had given.
"That sums it up, don’t you say?" he said, smirking.
I put my hand over my head in exhaustion. "I've really had enough of you".
He laughed, shoving me with his shoulder.
"Shh! This is a hospital!" I say, shushing him.
After about an hour, the nurse came to meet me.
"Your result is ready. You can go in to see the doctor now." She smiled. I wondered why she smiled since she didn’t smile much since we got in.
"Thank you." I walked back into the doctor's office.
Moments later, I was out from the doctor’s office and back where Justin was waiting for me.
A lot of emotions were welling up inside of me- anger, frustration, disappointment, shame, lots of it! What the doctor told me didn’t make sense, yet. How was I pregnant? I could not possibly be pregnant! It was just one time! What the hell am I going to do now? How could I have gotten myself in such a mess?
"Ash, are you okay?" Justin noticed that I was distraught.
"Let's go Justin.” I went on and walked ahead of him throwing a fit of rage.
