Chapter 2 Pain To The Max

After relentless waves of nausea that felt like a storm raging inside her, Hadley ended up in the hospital.

“Doctor, what’s happening to me?”

She sat nervously in the waiting area while the doctor examined her test results.

“Congratulations,” the doctor finally announced. “You’re pregnant.*

The news momentarily took Hadley’s breath away, her eyes widening as she processed

Leaving the hospital, the harsh rays of the summer sun prompted tears to gather in her

eyes.

With her eyes closed, Hadley whispered to herself, “What am I going to do?”

Her marriage to Eric was still new, barely two months old, and their physical relationship had been limited–quick and infrequent.

Hadley had previously thought that Eric simply wasn’t interested in being intimate, and frankly, she didn’t much enjoy their encounters; they were just too painful.

Now, the painful truth hit her.
