Chapter 44: Pregnancy confirmed

"Your urine and blood work came back positive. Congratulations! You're pregnant", the female doctor announced with a huge smile on her face.

Amy froze; feeling like a bomb had gone off in her head. Only the doctor's last two words repeatedly echoed in her mind. The doctor looked at Amy, observing her reaction towards the news.

She suddenly had a sense of dejavu; Amy was mirroring the exact emotions she felt when she found out she was expecting her little prince. 'What could possibly be troubling this young woman?' she mused.

"Please lie down on the bed over there so we can run a little scan to see how far you are", the doctor instructed. Amy quietly did as told and went over to lie down.

"Lift your top and undo your Jean button and zip."

Amy was akin to a robot doing as instructed. It was like her body was not her own; as though she was observing everything from a third person perspective.
