With the sour taste of vomit in her mouth she ran a cup of water only to be met with more retching as she tried to use it to cleanse her mouth.With the sour taste of vomit in her mouth she ran a cup of water only to be met with more retching as she tried to use it to cleanse her mouth. All Joan could do was struggle back to the bed, lowering herself as best she could and reclining in a fetal position in an attempt to quell the tide of the abdominal pains she was experiencing. Joans first suspicion was she was pregnant but when she went several more weeks without any symptoms she decided it must have been something she ate or was a touch of the flu. Then it happened again, violent abdominal pains and retching but since she had not eaten it was only non productive heaving with nausea and pains lacking any comparison with anything she had known before. It had now been almost six weeks since her evening with Jacque and Joan realized that she had missed her period. She was fairly certain that Jacque had gotten her pregnant and she had noway of contacting him to tell him of his impending parenthood. Mid-day when she felt a little better, Joan ventured to the drugstore to get a pregnancy kit to confirm what she knew in her mind was so. Feeling a little embarrassed as she set the kit on the counter, She did not want to answer any questions about her potential pregnancy. She just knew the clerk would notice the absence of a wedding ring on her finger and assume she was some slut who "slept around" and got herself "knocked-up". |
