lately was busy bent over and hugging a toilet while paying their homage to the porcelain altar.
So far I had been lucky enough to be able to escape it. I had gotten my flu shot and washed my hands after each activity and it really helped cut down on the amount of times I got sick. Yet all that protection wasn ’ t a guarantee that I would be able to escape the flu. It ’ s a good thing to remember and get into the habit of kiddos!
Now I stood in the bathroom, still in my night clothes, and staring at a pregnancy test. Truth be told, I never imagined it would turn out that way. Really, I didn ’ t! I suppose I always had that romanticized idea that I would be learning about the baby at the doctor ’ s office or through some other setting.
Mom had called me her “ love goblin ” because of how active I was when she was expecting me. She later said that I would have a baby just like me.
I think it was time I owed her an apology.
It certainly wasn ’ t the most romantic way to take Blake that I was now pregnant but it was time. He should know and it was about time I needed my mother ’ s advice on what to do and what to expect.
I really didn ’ t want to become one of those helicopter parents that researched every little detail about what would be happening to my body, but I sure did want to know about it. I had the feeling my sister might be most interested in what was going on as I was the first of the two of us to get married let alone have a child.
When should I even tell them? Mom didn ’ t tell the rest of the family until she was in the second trimester as she had been told doing so sooner could cause harm to the baby. I had no idea if it was true or not or if it were even a religious thing that she had been told. Still, I wondered what she would think if I told her ahead of time? I certainly couldn ’ t lie and end up having one of the longest human pregnancies on record!
The first thing to do would be to tell Blake.
I was going to do so had he no rushed past me.
“ Clear the way! I ’ m gonna —”
It didn ’ t take long to realize what was happening and what he was about to do. I stepped aside very quickly to avoid him and stepped out of the bathroom. Even when sick people still deserved their dignity.
I did suppose the news could wait as I wasn ’ t completely sure that I was truly expecting. I should at least see the doctor first as home testing kits could be wrong. I wasn ’ t sure why I was being so paranoid about it. What reason did I have to be paranoid about?
Once I had news one way or another I ’ d see about telling Blake the news.
“ Are you alright? ” I asked Blake.
“ I ’ ll be fine once this passes, ” Blake replied. “ I ’ ll get something to eat and drink when I ’ m feeling better. I ’ m hoping to be able to keep something or another down. ”
“ I ’ ll get some lemon-lime soda for you, ” I offered.
“ Thank you, ” Blake moaned lightly.
I went out to the kitchen and found a bottle of unopened soda. I had also noticed a can ginger ale next to it. I had decided maybe I should have the ginger ale and would let Blake have some soda.
Reaching out I pulled two cups from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. I didn ’ t bother pouring any soda out for Blake but would wait for him to meander on out to come and get it.
I had decided to drink the ginger ale and made myself a mental note to see the doctor. The sooner I knew if I was expecting the better I could prepare and tell everyone the news.
Chapter Two
Even being married and starting up that program I still had some work to do at Blake ’ s job. I still largely held the same position I had done so prior to my marriage to Blake it was still work that needed to be done.
At least today it was mostly making copies and putting them in certain piles
