At the Doctor's :.
" Terri-Lynn Phillips." A young nurse with brown hair and gold streaks called looking up from her clipboard.
Terri stood up, holding Chris' hand in her and Robyn's in the other. Earlier it had been Mana and Julie hands she was holding. She let go and stood up, telling everyone that she wanted to go alone, despite protests thrice times. The nurse smiled and Terri could see how tired she was of doing this all day long. She took Terri to a room and told her to sit down on the bed-thing. She thanked the nurse and learned that her name was Bambi.
She took off her shirt and slipped on the cloth flowered robe and waited for the doctor to come.
The Doctor came in about 20 min. later. He was a middle-aged man with brown hair that had traces of gray in it. He had a beard and mustache that sorta of brown with gray and ginger and black in it. He marked some things on his clip as he asked her the routine questions ( height, weight, how she had been feeling lately, if she was on any drugs, drinking, on medication, attempted suicide again, how often she'd been throwing up, allergic to any med.'s or not, what her allergies were, when her last menstrual period was, etc. )
" Am I going to be okay Doctor ?." She asked calmly.
" Oh. Yes You're going to be just fine ( she takes a deep breath and says thank you ). It's nothing that won't go away in 9 months. You're pregnant."
" I'M WHAT ??!?!?!?!."
" We just need a urine sample to be sure." The Doctor said handing her a small cup.
" Okay Doctor." Terri took the cup and walked to the bathroom, coming out 5 min. later.
The doctor took the cup and put a lid on top of it. He walked out of the room, returning 20 min. later, smiling at her. He told her that she was pregnant. When Terri asked how far, he told her that she was 2 months and 28 days pregnant. Before he left her to get dressed, he told her Congradulations and that the baby was conceived on July 31st ( the night she and Erik did it 4 times ) and that she was due on May 28th ( only 11 days after her birthday ). 5 min. later, she came out. She begged the doctor to keep this a secret want that to happen. She had to break the news to everyone at the same time in the same room. Terri shivered 'cause she knew what everyone's reaction, especially Erik's and Mana's and Chris' and Everyone's would be. The Doctor, Dr. Bryant, honored her requests, keeping a fight from breaking out, and just told everyone that there was nothing to worry about and that she was going to be just fine. Sighs of relief and hugs went around the group. Terri hid her guilt behind a happy face and attitude. No-one seemed to suspect anything to her , but, Mana and Chris were wondering if Terri was keeping anything from them that the Doctor had told her.
