That morning, I called and made an appointment with Dr. Natalie Rodriguez. She had an opening at one that afternoon because of a cancellation, and I took it. Part of me felt bad that I didn’t want Lucas coming with me, but I had to know for certain that I was pregnant. Then I could tackle the problem of telling him that he would be a father.
I drove myself to the hospital. I was a nervous wreck the whole time during the drive and had to be careful not to do something that would cause me to have an accident. I knew that once I took the blood test, I would know without a doubt whether I was pregnant or not.
I arrived at the hospital, went into the doctor's office, and checked myself in with the receptionist. Three other people were in the room waiting to be called in. I only had a wait of about ten minutes before the nurse called me into the back part, where the exam rooms were.
