GoodReadShake off those thoughts, Quincy thought as the car neared the hospital.
She made her way straight to the agreed-upon doctor's office and knocked on the door.
Dr. Quincy knew well - a former college buddy who'd spent years abroad before recently returning to start her practice. "Quincy! It's been ages, and look at you, more beautiful than ever. There's this grace about you that just shines through." That had always been Quincy's way.

"Oh, stop it..." Flustered by thepliment, Quincy took a seat, "I'm here to get a check-up, we're planning on starting a family." The doctor nodded, inevitably curious, "Did youe alone? Where's your husband?" Planning for a baby usually meant she was married.
"He's...he's swamped with work! And, well, we're not married yet, but it's happening soon. I asked him toe, but it felt awkward." The doctor chuckled, "Landing a eous wife like you, your fiancé is one lucky man!" "Not at all, he's pretty remarkable himself." Hastily, Quincy pulled out her phone to show a sneaky snapshot she'd taken of Everett.
"This is him." Taking the phone, the doctor admired the photo, "Wow, he's handsome! Looks like a movie star. You two are quite the pair!" "He's not a celebrity." Quincy wanted to elaborate on Everett's status but decided against it, fearing it might lead to future requests for favors, "He's in business." "You're blushing! You've got that newlywed glow." "We have to tie the knot at spoint, I can't stay single forever." "That's true." The examination went smoothly, covering all necessary bases.
"Your health is excellent, no issues at all! Just keep track of your ovulation, that's all we can predict for now." The doctor whispered, "I noticed...um...you've not been intimate?" Quincy's cheeks turned scarlet as she nodded.
"That first tmight be a bit painful." "Oh, stop it!" She felt her face burning up.
After chatting a bit more, Quincy left the hospital and sent a photo to Everett.
I should be ovulating in about three to four days. Just had a check-up, everything is healthy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverett was watching a movie with Dorothy when Quincy's message arrived.
His phone was on silent.
He didn't notice the vibration, but Dorothy did.
"Your phone." "Letcheck." Everett dimmed his phone to avoid disturbing others. Reading the message, his brow furrowed in disgust. Dorothy, peeking over, smirked instead.
It wasn't until the movie ended and they were leaving the theater that Everett confronted her, "You see another woman trying to seduceand you laugh instead of getting jealous?" "Well, it's not like you're actually going to sleep with her, why should I be jealous?" "You should be jealous! It means you care." Dorothy quickly agreed, "Okay, okay I'm jealous!
