The big jerk gave her a mean stare, which she returned in spades.

“You don’t scare me. I’ve taken on bigger and badder, believe me. You want to know what I found out about them?”

“Not really.”

“The bigger the ego, the smaller the dick.”

“As you’re never going to get near my dick, I guess you’ll never know, will you?”

His sarcastic remark didn’t faze her. It was everything she could do not to tell him she could tell him what size his dick was, but she wasn’t that far gone.

“Thank God!” she yelled at him.

“Amen!” he shouted back at her.

She got in her car before saying something regrettable and drove out of the parking lot, calling Moon a litany of names.

Her being the first one in the office allowed her enough time to cool down before Priscilla arrived. Going to her desk, she pulled up today’s calendar. Her first appointment wasn’t until eight.

Larissa was about to click onto another screen when she saw the small notation at the top corner. Frowning, she pulled up last month’s calendar, hoping she was wrong.

Closing her eyes, she ran her fingers over her forehead.

You’re just late, she told herself as she pushed her computer chair back from the desk.

Her stomach churned as she went to the treatment room next to her private office. After opening the drawer with the pregnancy tests, she went to the restroom.

With shaking fingers, she opened the pregnancy test. Then, making sure the door was locked, she took it.

Deep down, she didn’t need to see the result before the positive sign appeared. She was never late.

Carrying the test and wrapper back into the treatment room, she disposed of it before returning to her office.

She closed the door and laid her head on her desk.

She detested Moon. He would off himself if he found out she was having his baby. He couldn’t stand her any more than she could him. Would he even believe it was his child? Probably not, and she didn’t want to find out. There was no way she would let that conceited oaf anywhere near her baby.

Pulling a tissue from the box on her desk, she wiped her eyes before taking her purse out. She repaired her makeup, then went to the breakroom to find a snack and grabbed a juice.

Forcing herself to eat despite the food tasting like cardboard, she took the last bite when her appointment arrived.

When she was finishing up, Priscilla walked in.

“Good morning.”

Larissa forced a cheerful smile to her lips. “Good morning,” she returned her sister’s greeting.

“How are you doing, Ginny?”

“Fine, thank you.”

“The baby healthy and happy?” Priscilla grinned at the expectant mother.

Ginny gave her a rueful smile. “From the way she’s dancing on my bladder, a little too happy.”

“You still think you’re having a girl?”

“Yes, at least until the baby comes out and proves me wrong,” she joked.

Larissa laughed. “I admire your restraint. I wouldn’t be able to help myself from asking during the ultrasound.”

“All I care about is if she’s healthy. Whether it’s a boy or girl, I really don’t care.”

“I’m surprised Gavin didn’t come with you today. He hasn’t missed any of your appointments so far,” Priscilla commented.

“He’s out of town, on business,” Ginny explained.

“Tell him we missed him, then,” Priscilla said as she took off her coat and hat.

“I will. Bye.”

“Bye. See you in four weeks.”

“You’re early,” Larissa said once Ginny had left.

“I thought I would get caught up on some paperwork before my appointment arrives.”

“I’ll be in my office if you need me. I want to check in with Eryn. She missed her appointment yesterday.”

Priscilla frowned. “That isn’t like her.”

“I know. I’m concerned. I called her yesterday when she missed her appointment, but she didn’t answer. I left a voicemail, and she hasn’t called back. Maybe something came up and she hasn’t had the time to respond yet? I’ll feel better once I’ve spoken with her.”

Priscilla nodded. “Keep me updated.”

“I will.”

Larissa returned to her office to make the call. Still receiving no answer, she left another voicemail. Then, biting her lip, she went to the front office to wait for her next appointment. Once she finished the appointment, she’d have a two-hour break.

She Googled Eryn’s address and saw it was twenty minutes away. Plenty of time to go check on Eryn and be back before she was needed. Should she, though? She had only seen Eryn twice. Could she have changed her mind about using her as a midwife and didn’t want to tell her? It wouldn’t be the first time a patient had dodged her calls.

She was still indecisive when her next patient arrived. Clearing her mind. she greeted them.

The appointment took an hour, as she needed to go over Mrs. Terrell’s medical history and the folder she had put together for her, which gave her all the information to talk through with her husband to help in their decision-making. The next step would be for the couple to decide if they preferred to use Priscilla, her, or give both of them a pass.
