“I still can’t believe this!” Tears rushed down my cheeks as Jenny sat me down on my coach. She rubbed my back and hugged me tightly, just letting me cry against her.
I hadn’t fully taken the time to process what the doctor told me. She’d confirmed I was pregnant, gave me a bunch of pamphlets about pregnancy and what my options were, then sent us away.
The entire car ride back, Jenny had cast concerned glances my way, but I hadn’t been able to say anything.
“It’s okay, Livi. Why don’t we look at the information the doctor gave you?” she suggested.
I nodded. She made some tea in the kitchen and I sifted through the pamphlets.
I was having a baby. I was having Ellis Peterson’s baby!
Shaking my head, I groaned and dropped my face into my hands. This couldn’t be real. It had to be some kind of dream, no, a nightmare.
Jenny sat next to me and handed me a steaming cup of tea. I didn’t take it, so she set it on the coffee table in front of me.
