Cold Showers — Chapter 19

The next morning, Jayda woke up with the need to throw up. She rushed into the bathroom and emptied the contents in her stomach.

She felt dizzy after she was done so she sat on the floor for a while to regain her lost energy.

Feeling a little better, Jayda cleaned up, did her usual morning routine and got ready for work.

Jayda considered today to be one of the days where she woke up on the wrong side of the bed so she was not in the mood to do anything extra. She settled for a simple knee-length official dress and brushed her hair. She decided to go makeup-free today. She reached for her hand and laptop bag, then made her way out of the room.

"I was about to call you down for breakfast," Lilian said, pointing to the pancakes on the table. She was already dressed up for work too.

"You look pale this morning." Lilian closed the gap between them.

Jayda nodded. "I just had my first-morning sickness, I feel so weak."

Lilian pulled out a chair for Jayda and made her sit on it and then took a seat beside her.

"Are you sure you will be fine going to the doctors alone. I don't think you should drive in this situation."

"I'll be fine. I guess I will not take my car today. You can drop me off at the hospital and when I'm done I'll take a cab to the office."

"Okay, What time is your appointment?" Lily asked.

"9.05"

"Then let's hurry up with breakfast so you won't be late."

Jayda ate the little she could, they made conversations in between their food and they cleared the table when they were done.

...........

As soon as Doctor Davis approached the reception, she saw one of her favourite patients, Jayda.

She pulled Jayda into a side hug and ushered her into her office.

Doctor Davis was quite tall, in her early forties, with long dark hair and very friendly.

She took a seat behind her desk while Jayda sat opposite her.

"So, let's get to business. What brings you here, dear?"

Jayda swallowed painfully, fiddling with her fingers. "I took a pregnancy test two nights ago and it came out positive. I'm here so you can tell me what to do next. I'm so confused, I don't even know where to start."

"I assume you've been sexually active," Dr Davis said.

"It was just for a night, a month ago. I took some after pill but the pill failed me."

Dr Davis smiled sadly. "The pill doesn't work out for some people and it can be due to different reasons."

"I guess I'm part of the unlucky ones then," Jayda mumbled.

Dr nodded sadly. "But you'll be fine. What are the changes you've noticed in your body?"

"Lack of appetite, I now dislike most of my favourite food, my boobs are sore and I had my first-morning sickness today" Dr Davis nodded, scribbling something down on her chart.

"Any cravings?" She asked. Jayda shook her head.

After a few more personal questions, She ushered Jay to the laboratory room for some tests.

While waiting for the results in Davis's office, Jayda brought out her tab and went through some pending emails. She also made a few calls to some of her clients.

After what felt like forever, the Doctor walked in with the results.
