I let out a frustrated sigh and scrub my hands over my face "Okay, fine Let's leave that for a moment and move to number three What do you want to do with your life?"

Chapter 12

Stephanie

There's a knock at the exa open and Lucas is walking through I feel incredibly naked and vulnerable in nothing but this paper gown and my socks as I sit on the exa for the doctor to co since he wasn't here when I was called back fro room My mind raced as to what that couldown

It took own on, and hop onto the table, but in that ti to be a part of this We've hardly talked in the last week and he canceled our date--well, our hookup--the other night I kneas going to be pulling back after his talk about the play-offs, but I didn't think it would include pulling back fronancy stuff

"What are you doing here?" I ask dumbly

He just shakes his head atto be here"

"But you weren't," I say so out of , "You're late"

"Have you seen the doctor yet?" he asks me, and I want to punch him

"No," I mutter

"Then I'm not late," he says with a smirk

He's right and I give up on discussing it further "I guess you're not"

I dropbetter to do Another knock on the door and its opening again, this tilasses comes in He looks first to me and sticks his hand out "Hi, I'hout your pregnancy"

"Stephanie Frazier," I say as I shake his hand

He turns to Lucas and then his mouth drops open "You'reyou're"

"Lucas Fournier," he finishes for the doctor as he shakes his hand "Nice to meet you"

The doctor gives a little laugh and shakes his head in auard for a minute"

"No worries," Lucas assures the doctor, and then shoots ood rumpier

"I didn't realize you were married, Mr Fournier," Dr Woods says pleasantly, and it's an honest guess I suppose I e to have a baby, but Dr Woods is froeneration and he probably just thinks differently

"We're not married," I explain, and Dr Woods looks to me "We're just friends"

"Oh, I see," he says with a hesitant smile, but I can tell by the confused tone he doesn't understand anything about our relationship

Join the club, Dr Woods Join the club

Dr Woods sits on a low stool and rolls it to a desk He opens up a laptop that he'd been carrying, and after a fewwhatever information he has on me already, turns and says, "You esti to your history"

"It's not an estimate," I tell him

"Well, sonant--"

"I know the exact date I got pregnant," I interrupt hiht stand and there's no one else in the picture near that time"

"Oh," Dr Woods says as his eyebrows rise He glances to Lucas, who's come to stand beside me as I sit at the end of the examination table "Oh, I see Well, thenit doesn't appear that you have anyto the history foroing to do a physical exaet some blood and urine saet dressed and then go over into my office where it's a little more relaxed and we can talk about what lies ahead for you"

I can only nod, suddenly feeling overwhel that vibe off or not, because Lucas's hand co squeeze I have to force rab his hand like it's a lifeboat
