I wake up next to Josh and I feel an utter shock in my stomach. I run to the bathroom and vomit in the toilet. Josh comes in out of nowhere, pulling my hair back. I get up, rinse my mouth and brush my teeth. I check the calendar in the kitchen.

"Josh?" I call. He comes in.

"Yeah?"

"Today is July 2nd, right?"

"Yeah," he says.

I count the days in my head.

Oh no! No! No!

I lose my balance and fall on the floor. Josh catches me a little too late and now I'm lying against him on the floor. "

"What is it?" He asks.

"I'm late," I reply. "My period is late."

"That's okay. That happens."

"Not for me it doesn't."

"Okay. Lets go to the drugstore and buy a pregnancy test."

I don't understand how he's being so calm about this.

We drive to the drugstore and purchase 3 of them to see if I am actually pregnant. We get back to our apartment and I to the bathroom, slamming the door. I leave Josh waiting outside the bathroom. I pee on all of the sticks and wait.

Positive. All 3 of them.
