It's been a month since Rhea came back to work from her Topdeck tour of the USA and she is wanting to have another holiday.
"Mik, I think we need to have a holiday." Rhea suggested to her bestfriend Mikhaila, Mik for short. "I feel tired and burnt out with all this shift work and the work loads that we have in the ward lately." she continued. For the past four weeks that she have been back, she feel more tired and sleepy than her usual self.
"You just got back from a 28 days tour and you want another holiday?! Good luck in getting one." Mik told her. "You won't get any leave from here unless if you are having a baby, then you can have maternity leave.", she continued.
Then and there I just realise that I haven't had my period for this month. I look at Mik, "Remind me to go to pharmacy when we finish our shift.", I told her.

"Is it 5 minutes already?" I asked Mik. While looking at the close door of my toilet.
You see, I bought a pregnancy test kit on the way home with Mik and I am praying to the high up above that the result will be negative or there will be trouble. I don't have time for myself most of the time much more when I have a baby. No no no.. It has to be negative.
"5 minutes is up. There should be a result now." Mik informed me which snaps me out of my thoughts. Mik and I start running for the toilet, not because we need to use it but because of the preganacy test that is on the basin in the toilet. I grab it before Mik and look at it. Double pink line. I look for the instruction in the box and it says that double pink line means positive.
"OMG! I am having a baby. What to do? What to do?" I said to myself. Then Mik clap in front of my face cutting my chanting of 'what to dos?'. "We go to your GP tomorrow to confirm it." Mik told me. "Now, do tell how did this happen?" she continued.
"The last day of our tour is in Las Vegas.." I started "We are all partying and most of my tour-mates are drunk. I was sitting near the bar sipping my cocktail slowly so that I don't get drunk because I was flying the next day. Then, this gorgeous guy sat next to me and started talking to me. I drank cocktails, he drank his beers. We did not notice how much we have had. We decided to walk around to wind down from the alcohol. Then we saw wedding booths everywhere, I got curious that I went inside. I was so drunk that when he ask me to marry him, I said yes. We got married and have our honeymoon in his hotel. I left him sleeping in the morning because I don't know what else to do. Then, we have this." I told her while pointing on my tummy.
