Unaware of the change in her expression, Natalie nodded slightly. “Yeah, do you have anything?”
“Yes, I do.” Mrs. Wilson shifted her gaze toward Natalie’s tummy and tried her best to remain calm as she asked, “May I ask you something, Ms. Smith?”
“Sure, go ahead.” Natalie blinked at her curiously.
Mrs. Wilson took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the glass. “Have you had your period this month?”
“Period?” Natalie froze for a moment and shook her head. “No, I haven’t. Why do you ask…”
She paused halfway through her sentence when she realized what Mrs. Wilson was implying and subconsciously placed a hand on her tummy. “Mrs. Wilson… Do you think I’m pregnant?”
Mrs. Wilson walked up to her and said, “Yeah, I think you are, Ms. Smith! Vomiting, craving for sour snacks, and not having your period… These are all signs of pregnancy.”
Natalie’s lips twitched a little in shock, but she didn’t say anything to dispute those claims as they were indeed early signs of pregnancy.
She had experienced the same thing when she was pregnant with Connor and Sharon five years ago, and her heart raced at the sudden realization.
Instinctively, Natalie pressed against her tummy as if to check if there was a baby inside.
Mrs. Wilson quickly stopped her when she saw that. “Don’t do that, Ms. Smith! It’s bad for the baby!”
“Am I really pregnant, Mrs. Wilson?” Natalie asked in a panic.
Mrs. Wilson nodded. “Yes, I’m sure of it. If you and Mr. Shane didn’t use protection, those would definitely be signs of pregnancy.”
Upon hearing that, Natalie went silent as she began to believe that she was pregnant.
I took a pill during our first time, but that was it. Shane has never used condoms, so we’ve basically been having unprotected sex since our second time, which took place a month ago. If I had gotten pregnant during that time, it would make perfect sense for me to show signs of pregnancy now.
