Feeling someone start rubbing my back, I lifted my head to see Chuck standing there. Sitting up, I glared at him. “Chuck? What are you doing in L and D?”

Shrugging his shoulders, he gave me a wink and walked off. I got a chill as I watched him walk away. I made a mental note to talk to Preston today about work. Ever since I had gone to Nantucket, nursing didn’t seem to be a priority in my life anymore. Helping Preston follow his dreams with Flanagan’s was at the top of my list now.

Standing up, I held on to the counter and whispered, “Whoa.”

Becky, a nurse who had been working there for five years, walked up to me and grabbed my face gently as she looked into my eyes. “Harmony, something is not right.”

Nodding, I replied, “I agree. It’s called double shifts, a hot boyfriend who likes to wake me up in the middle of the night to make slow, passionate love to me, and not eating for six hours. That and I think I’m getting the flu.” Glancing over, I saw another nurse, Rachel, walking up to us.

Rachel laughed as she walked behind the desk. Shaking her head, she made a tsking sound. “You are not getting the flu. I already know what is wrong.”

Sitting back down, I glanced between both nurses. Becky looked at Rachel and said, “No!”

Rachel nodded. “Yes.”

“Holy shit, do you think?”

My head snapped over to Rachel as she threw her head back and evil-laughed. “What in the hell are the two of you going on about?” I asked with a confused look on my face.

Becky turned to me and tilted her head and sighed. “Aw, look, Rach, she doesn’t even have a clue yet. How cute is that?”

Rachel smiled. “It is cute. I remember those days.”

Rolling my eyes, I turned away from them and dropped my head onto the desk. “I don’t have time for this. My brother is getting married and Jenn wants to go dress shopping. I’ve never heard of a three-month engagement. Why they are getting married in May is beyond me. No one can plan a wedding that fast!” Stopping myself from talking, I thought back to my marriage to Trey. “Okay. Well, it can be done, but still. What’s the hurry?”

Rachel leaned against the counter and said, “Unless she’s pregnant.”

Laughing, I lifted my head and looked at Rachel. “Please, Sandy is the most put-together person I’ve ever met. She would never forget to take her birth control pi—”

Lifting an eyebrow and tilting her head, Rachel smiled. “You were saying, Harmony?”

Dropping my mouth open, I slowly stood up. “Oh fuck.”

“Oh, I’m pretty sure you’ve done plenty of that since you got back with your hot ex-fireman-now-turned-even-hotter-Irish-pub owner.”

Covering my mouth, I let out an internal scream. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Turning, I placed my hands on the counter and dragged in a deep breath. I let it out and said, “How could I be so stupid?”

“When did you run out of them?”

Closing my eyes, I said, “The end of December. It was near TJ’s birthday. I was so upset I stayed in bed the whole day.”

“Last period?”

Shrugging my shoulders, I said, “They have been so off since the accident. Even being on birth control, it wasn’t uncommon for me to skip a month or two.”

Becky walked up and held up a pregnancy test, smiling the biggest smile I think I’d ever seen on her face.

“Shit,” I mumbled.

Becky raised her eyebrow and said, “No, baby, you piss on it.”

Grabbing it out of her hand, I pushed past her as Rachel and Becky laughed. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my pocket.

Preston: Hey, princess! I’ll be there in twenty.

Walking into the ladies’ room, I hit REPLY as my hands trembled.

Me: Okay! Love ya!

Stay calm, Harmony. Take a deep breath in and blow it out. You’re not pregnant. Nope.

I pushed the stall door open, pulled my scrubs and panties down, and peed on the stick. Holding my breath, I sat it down on a piece of tissue paper as I flushed, pulled up my panties and scrubs, and grabbed the test. At the sink, I set it down next to me, then turned on the cold water and splashed my face.

Wow. Is it hot in there? I’m burning up. See, that just proves I’m getting sick. I’ll call in my prescription tomorrow and start taking the pill again.

Smiling, I nodded as I stood tall and confident. “I’ve got this!”

Grabbing the test, I held it up and read the results. A wide grin spread across my face as my pulse picked up and I felt a lightness in my chest.

Looking in the mirror, I let out a nervous giggle and shook my head. Spinning around on my heels, I made my way out of the restroom and headed to the break room. I was careful to avoid Becky and Rachel at all costs.
