Oh, yeah. I was going to take a shower.

I turned my head.

The shower was already turned on.

I stepped out of my panties and took my shirt off.

I walked to the shower and stood under the water, just staring at the wall.

I’m pregnant.

That wasn’t possible though.

I can’t be pregnant.

I’m not having sex with anyone…

Except I did have sex withsomeone.

I put my face into the water and held my breath, trying to chase away my thoughts.

I can’t be pregnant. There’s no way I’m pregnant. That test is wrong. Something went wrong. Maybe I had too much coffee this morning. The caffeine or something in the coffee made the test positive.

Yes! That’s it!

It’s a bad test!

I shut the shower off and hurried to dry my body and get dressed.

I threw the pregnancy test out and went to get another one.

At the store, I did a casual pass through the aisle, grabbing a test.

Then I also grabbed a tube of toothpaste, a small bag of frozen chicken nuggets, a bottle of water, and a pack of gum.

Just to mix things up.

At the checkout, I was jumpy and sweaty.

Scared out of my mind.

Of course the cashier scanned the pregnancy test and looked at me.

I looked away.

I paid and ran to my car.

I opened the pregnancy test and realized I couldn’t just take it right there in the parking lot.

So I drove up the street and parked to go into a convenience store.

I bought another bottle of water.

I realized then I could have just gotten the pregnancy test there too.

My head was a mess.

I asked if they had a bathroom and to my shock, it was very clean.
