Emma was oddly quiet the next morning after my job interview. We had applied for jobs. I, a car dealer, and Emma, a manager at a Walmart.

I found her in the bathroom. She was doubled over the toilet, throwing up.

"Are you ok? Are you sick?" I asked. Emma held up a finger for me to wait.

"I. Think. So," she said between getting sick.

"Um, you want me to call via Christi clinic?"

"Yeah, sure."

We arrived a bit later.

We arrived at my appointment at around noon. It wasn't busy, thank goodness.

"Mrs. Harper?" it was a woman nurse with brown hair in a tight bun, and pink nurse clothes.

We walked with her to a room, and my doctor, Dr. Wilson, checked me up.

"I think you need a sonogram."

"Wait. I'm pregnant?"

"I don't know. Did you two...?"

"Uhm... Yes, sir. About a month ago." Eric said, mustering enough courage, despite pink tipped ears and cheeks.

"Well, I'm afraid you are in high risk."

I am pregnant?
