THE RING I COULDN’T WEAR – part 3
Rachael looked at Promise as they stepped into the Doctor‟s office. She didn‟t know what to expect. She had praying in tongues silently, just praying the Doctor would give her a different result from the one she knew.
“Please, sit.” The Doctor addressed the two.
“Calm down, Rachael.” She whispered to her as they sat down.
“The result is out.” The bespectacled Doctor adjusted his glasses and lifted some files as he brought out a white paper and stared at it for a moment and lifted his head. “Congratulations, you are four weeks pregnant.” He stretched his hand to shake Rachael.
Rachael‟s head turned towards Promise. She was pregnant! Like, truly pregnant. “No.” She squeaked.
“What is it?” The Doctor wondered as he dropped the result.
Promise reached for the result and pulled Rachael. “You can‟t do this here, Rachael.” She said.
“You can start coming for your ante natal here, ma‟am.” The Doctor raised his voice as they left.
