Even though she had the results to her test, she still wanted to be sure. She scheduled an appointment with her doctor, just to rest her fears. She got a friend to cover her as she made her way to the medical office. She had ignored a couple texts and missed a phone call from Bette, she knew Bette would be worried. She was nervous and Bette had a way of knowing something was wrong, just by hearing her voice.

"Well Tina, everything looks normal," her doctor said, removing her examination gloves, "I see no sign of pregnancy, but we’ll know for sure once the blood tests come back."

"Thank God," Tina said, with a sigh of relief, "I mean it would have been exciting, but I just can’t deal with a baby right now. I’m just not in the right place in my life to raise another child."

"I don’t know what you have going on right now, but it seems like you need to take a break. Stress is one factor in your symptoms, another is food."

"Yeah, I haven’t exactly been eating right."

"Tina, take some time to yourself once and a while. Go on vacation, spend a few days with your signifigant other, or just take some alone time. Yoga is a great stress relief."

"Oh I know it is, I’ve just gotten out of the habit."

"You’re a healthy young woman, slow down," she said and smiled, "and I know I don’t have to tell you sex is a great stress reliever."

"No problem in that department," Tina said and giggled.

"We’re all done here Tina, I’ll call you later on with the lab results."

She smiled to herself on her way to meet Bette at The Planet. She honestly wouldn’t have minded being pregnant, even though it would have been Eric’s baby. She didn’t think it was possible, she hadn’t slept with him in three months, she didn’t even think about it. But that would be her luck, her ex not wanting to give her a child but he unwillingly gives her one anyway. She breathed a sigh of relief at that. She wanted to be pregnant with Bette’s baby, their baby. Be a family with someone who wanted children.
