Chapter 45: Facing the Letter

Ana woke up preparing to get out of bed and then realized she wasn't supposed to, but she sat up anyway knowing Scott was close by. He was in the sitting area portion of the room typing quickly on his laptop. He was attuned to her needs however and immediately set the laptop aside and headed in her direction. When he reached her, he said good morning to her and asked what she needed. 

Ana let him know that she needed to use the bathroom. Scott helped her put slippers on her feet and walk the short distance. She thought this was pushing the matter, but he was worried she would have a contraction and fall. 

Ana determined it would take less effort overall to let Scott help her than to argue the point. As Ana used the bathroom, she wished fervently that she could take a shower, but it was not to be. She had used her shower token yesterday and would get another tomorrow.
