other symptoms of illness, and your nausea
seems to strike at totally random intervals.”
Jade
lifted her head, an uneasy feeling forming in the pit of her stomach... which
was saying something considering how awful she already felt. “What exactly are you saying, Em?”
Emily
sucked in a breath. “Have
you had sex recently?”
A
flush crept over Jade ’s
cheeks at the memory of Dawson’s muscular body covering hers as his cock
plunged into her. “Maybe,” she said defensively.
Emily
snorted. “I’m going to try not to be offended
that you didn’t tell me you got some on your vacation because you're feeling so
shitty.” She folded her arms. “Fact is, hon, you need to take a pregnancy test
because you could be expecting.”
Jade
sat up straight, shock making her momentarily forget the nausea. “No way!” That couldn’t possibly be true. “I’m on the pill!'
Emily
gave her a sympathetic look. “There’s
a reason the HHS says it’s ninety-one percent effective.”
Jade
scowled. “That’s only if you miss days
or run out of pills, and I haven’t. It’s supposed to be ninety-nine point five
percent effective if you take it correctly.”
Emily
gave Jade an arch look. “Yeah,
well, tell that to the baby growing inside of you.”
"There ’s no baby growing inside me,” Jade declared.
Yeah, okay, so her stomach was turning itself into knots but that was probably
because of the illness. Seriously, she was working 12-hour days trying to fix
this advertising nightmare. The stress was bound to be taking a toll on her
body. Good thing she was wrapping up because she desperately needed some
R&R time so that she could kick this bug.
"Oh
yeah? ” Emily challenged. “Well then,
there should be no problem with you taking a test—just to make sure.”
"I ’m not going out to the drug store, Em,” Jade
groaned, leaning her head back against the couch cushion again. “I just can’t
do it right now. I’ll hurl all over the cashier.”
"Not
to worry. ” Emily jumped to her feet.
“I've got some stashed away in case of emergencies like this. I’ll go and get
one right now.”
Dread
curled Jade ’s toes as she watched
Emily disappear into her room. Try as she might to deny it, Emily had sewn the
seeds of the possibility of pregnancy in her mind, and she couldn’t ignore it.
God, what if she really was pregnant? What was she going to do? Should she get
an abortion?
Dawson ’s achingly handsome face rose up in her vision
and guilt jabbed at her heart. The idea of crushing such a tiny life inside
her, one that would have its father’s features, was too much for her to
contemplate. But how was she going to raise this kid by herself? She’d never
wanted the single mother life. She firmly believed that a child needed both
parents to have a truly balanced childhood. She’d never planned on having
children out of wedlock. But, she didn’t have Dawson’s number, didn’t have any
way of contacting him at all outside of calling the lodge and seeing if she
could get hold of him. And that was a long shot, too.
Emily
came back into the room and tossed a pink, rectangular box into Jade ’s lap. “Here you are,” she said. “Go pee on the
stick.”
Jade
sighed, shoving aside her fear as best she could. Gripping the box tightly, she
gingerly shuffled off to the bathroom so that she could determine the truth of
things once and for all. There was no point in being afraid and worrying if she
didn ’t even know whether or not
there was a kid growing inside her, right?
