“Alexis Blythe?”

I looked up nervously from my chair in the waiting room and saw a nurse with a kind round face look up from her clipboard.

“That’s me,” I answered timidly. I got up from my seat and walked toward her.

“Hi, right this way. You’ll be in the room three doors down on the right. Dr. Stevens will be in to see you shortly.”

“Thank you.” I rubbed my hands together nervously as I went into the room. My body was tense with anxiety and fear as I sat down and waited for my doctor. I had been feeling sick to my stomach all day and prayed that the news was going to be good.

“Good afternoon, Alexis,” came a male voice from the doorway.

I looked up and saw Dr. Stevens enter the room with his chart.

“Hi Dr. Stevens. How are you?”

“Doing pretty well. How are you feeling?” He put on his thin oval reading glasses and flipped through the chart in front of him.

“To be honest, pretty nervous.” I took a deep breath and searched his face for clues of what kind of news he was going to tell me.

“That’s understandable. Well we got all the tests results back.”

“Okay.” I felt my hands tighten into fists as my nails dig into my clammy palms.

“Alexis, the pregnancy test came out positive. You’re going to have a baby.” He looked at me tentatively, waiting for me to respond to the news. I knew what he was thinking. From my chart, he knew that I wasn’t married. He was probably curious if this was good or bad news.

I felt my heart racing inside my chest and was unable to speak. I drew in a deep, ragged breath to calm myself down. A million thoughts whirled inside my head and yet I couldn’t seem to focus on a single one.

“You’re two months pregnant, and at this point, you still  have some time to decide what you want to do about this pregnancy …” Dr. Stevens voice trailed off as he watched my reaction.

I frowned at him and was taken aback by what he was trying to say. “I’m keeping this baby, Dr. Stevens. That’s not even a consideration for me.”

“Okay. I just wanted to raise that issue now before we talk about your other test results. You should know that the further along you are in your pregnancy, the more complicated it would be for you to change your mind—”

“I appreciate your concern,” I interrupted him, “but, abortion is just out of the question.”

“Okay, here’s the results to the other test we had done.”

He handed me the document and before he began to speak again, my eyes zoned in on the words I feared the most—the words that I didn’t want to see today.

Oh my God, I was going to have a baby with …

The gravity of the news blindsided me and I found it hard to breath. I knew the tests could all come out this way. I knew it was a big possibility. I thought I was prepared for this. I thought I had mentally braced myself for the one things I didn’t want to become a reality.

But I was wrong.

The test results left me speechless and in shocks, and I felt my mind and body violently rejecting what this all meant.

Am I strong enough to get through this? Could I face this alone if Damian abandons me when he found out? I had feared the moment that I had to tell Damian that I was pregnant, but what I feared even more than that was having to tell him everything. I knew deep down that he would probably leave me the minute he found out.

I stared blankly at Dr. Stevens. I watched his mouth move, but I couldn’t hear a word he was saying. The only thing I heard was a loud buzzing that rang in my ears as the shock of the news hit me hard. My mouth opened and I wanted to tell him that I didn’t believe him, that this wasn’t really happening to me, but somehow I couldn’t seem to make a sound or move. The room began to spin around me as a dark heavy fog feel over me and I watched as Dr. Stevens and the room disappeared into the blackness.
