"Check-up." Nicholas bit the words, glaring at me with frustration. "Do you even know what the check-up is?"

I was stunned. 'Are you asking me? Let the doctor come in and explain it to you, I'm not sure!"

I thought he was angry about my refusal to remarry, so I tried to soothe him.

After all, raising Tabitha these past few years had been tough. If we could, we should try to avoid any health risks for the child.

"Forget it. Never mind."

I had intended to comfort Nicholas, but it hurt as if I had bitten my own tongue. The more I said, the more realized that continuing would only hurt me, him, and Tabitha.
