Valerie finally made up her mind to visit the hospital and run a real test on her body to make sure she was pregnant.
Max's birthday was the coming week, and she had to be sure the present she had for him was actually there and not something she speculated on.
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Tiana asked on their way to the hospital.
"I'm fine." Valerie said. "We'll just run a few steps and... It's not like I'm scared shitless by hospitals. I just... Get paranoid, that's all. I'll be okay."
Tiana nodded.
"Alright. But if you change your mind, just let me know."
They got to the hospital and Valerie walked in with a nose mask. She was popular, yes but that wasn't her only reason for wearing a nosemask.
The smell of disinfectant triggered her so she needed to keep the intake as low as possible. That's where the mask comes in.
The doctors ran the test after they had succeeded in taking her blood sample. But it wasn't easy.
