on the floor mat there,” she instructs.
    As I lay down, Sophia gently places her hands on my stomach, and begins to focus. In just moments I begin to feel better and she stops.
    “ Thanks Sophia, I feel much better.”
    “ Well I hate to tell you, but it won’t last for long,” she says with a very surprised tone.
    “ Really, I must have got a real bad batch. I think I’ll avoid sushi for a bit.”
    “ Ebony, it wasn’t the sushi.”
    “ What was it? Am I going to be okay? You look really concerned.”
    “ You’ll be fine, don’t worry. So what was it you wanted to tell me earlier? I think maybe now is a good time since we’re alone,” she begins to pry.
    “ Well I might as well just tell you. Matt and I finally took the next step, I’m now a woman. So to speak,” I admit with a goofy grin.
    “ A woman, more than you know. That is totally what I thought you were going to say. So when did this happen? I want all the juicy details.”
    “ Actually it was the night Grams passed. It happened here. We didn’t plan it, but it was amazing.”
    “ I am so happy for you, but I just want to be the responsible one and make sure that you and Matt used protection.”
    “ Well that first time, no, we didn’t it happened so unexpectedly. We didn’t have any. But of course now we do. I figure it was okay, since we were both virgins and it was only one time.” I blush a little at the admission.
    “ Ebony, you should know better than that,” she starts to lecture, “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to nag you. I just worry about you and Matt.”
    “ Thanks, but really there is nothing to worry about. We always are safe now,” I defend, “Oh no here it comes again.” I lean into the toilet.
    “ Ebony, I’ll be right back, I’m going to get Constance to help,” she mentions with concern as she leaves the washroom.
    Then a knock on the door, “Ebony, may I come in? Sophia said you are not feeling well,” Constance requests.
    “ Yeah.”
    Constance and Sophia enter and close the door behind them. Constance places a cool cloth on my forehead.
    “ Here sweetie, this may help.” Constance hands me a small cup of medicine.
    “ What’s this?” I ask.
    “ It will help you feel better,” she replies.
    Sophia gently rubs my back, “So Ebony, I told Constance what was going on. I also mentioned that I attempted to heal you and what I sensed.”
    “ It is bad I knew it. What’s wrong with me?”
    “ Well sweetie,” Constance wipes the tears from my eyes. “It is nothing that will kill you.”
    With a slight hint of panic I take a deep breath. “Okay, well that’s good. So then what is wrong?”
    “ It appears as though you are pregnant,” Constance shares.
    “ I could sense it when I was trying to heal your suspected food poisoning. That appears to be morning sickness,” Sophia confesses.
    I sit back on the floor and begin to panic, breathing faster and faster. “You’re freaking kidding, right? This is just to make sure that Matt and I use protection from now on, right?” the tears stream down my face.
    “ Oh hunny, I wish it was. Are you okay? We will all be here to help you.” Sophia cradles me in her arms as I sob.
    “ What am I going to tell Matt? Oh my God school is starting in a few days, great way to start senior year.”
    “ We have time to figure this all out, let’s just make sure. I will book you for an early ultrasound. Technically you should not even know yet. I even find it weird that you are feeling the symptoms so early,” Constance informs me.
    “ We need to get you calmed down and back out there before everyone else wonders what is going on,” Sophia recommends.
    Knowing they are both right, I try to calm down. Clean myself up and rejoin everyone for a night of movies and games. I need to do my best to keep up a façade that everything is normal. At least until Constance can do the ultra sound tomorrow. After I know for sure, I will find a way to tell Matt. The panic begins
