Napasandal ako sa dingding ng clinic ni Mrs. Borromeo, habang nakatulala at hindi makapaniwala sa nakita, sinisikap na huwag bumagsak ang sarili sa sahig.Slowly, as though in a slow-motion video, I lifted the picture clutched tight in my left hand and stared at the black and white mass that the nurse had handed over to me after the doctor had pronounced the five words that I had not been expecting at all."Congratulations, Mrs. Saltzman! You're pregnant!"Buntis ako at hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko. Magkahalong takot, kaba, at saya ang nasa puso ko. Kung noon siguro ako nabuntis ay hindi ganito ang magiging reaksyon ko.A headache bloomed in my temples and I sighed and let my eyes drift shut.Hindi ko namalayan na nilukot ko na pala ang papel na hawak ko, nilalabanan ang mga luha na nagtatago sa asking mga talukap.This was not the time to give in to bouts of self-pity, I had to figure out what to do, how to break the news to Jeremy, and brace myself for what came after.
