Chapter 1: Surprise!
Lucy stared in shock at the stick in her hand.
Pregnant it read.
She couldn’t believe it. They’d only been dating for a little over two months and now a baby was going to be added to an already very complicated situation.
Lucy had absolutely no idea how this could have possibly happened.
They were always so careful and she took her birth control religiously. She’d never missed a dose in her life and she even had a stash of morning after pills, just in case.
Lucy quickly tossed it in the trash can before getting dressed and ready to head into work.
She frowned and a whole new panic flooded over her.
Work. Tim. Oh god. How the hell am I even supposed to tell him something like this? she thought.
Then a thought/idea popped into her head.
Pregnancy tests aren’t always 100% accurate. It could’ve been faulty (much like her birth control, apparently). There was still a chance this might just be a false positive!
She could call in and tell Sergeant...crap...Tim had been promoted to Grey’s position after Grey was promoted to captain...Tim would be the one she’d have to call.
Anyways, she’d call in and tell him she’d be in late. Then she could go to the urgent care down the road and get a test done there. They would be able to confirm whether or not she’s pregnant.
Lucy sighed and took a few long, deep breaths before picking up her phone and calling Tim.
“Hey Lucy. Is this work or play?” he answered flirtatiously.
Lucy wasn’t in a flirting mood.
“Work. Listen, I’ve um, got a doctor’s appointment this morning that I completely forgot about. Anyways, I’m going to be in late today. Like maybe 10:00? I’m so sorry it’s such late notice, but I hope it’s ok!” she told him nervously.
“Yeah. That’ll be fine. I’ll put Jackson on desk duty until you get in and then you two can partner up for the day. Everything’s ok, right?” Tim quickly replied.
“Yeah. Everything’s fine. I promise!” she assured him . “And tell Jackson I’m sorry about getting him stuck on desk duty the first 3 hours of his shift!” she added.
Tim chuckled
“Ok. Listen I’ve got to get ready for roll call. Have fun at the doctor and I’ll see you when you get here! Love you!”
“ Love you too!” she cracked a small smile as they both hung up.
