“So what did the doctor have to say,” Kate asked me.
“That he does think that I have the flu on top of morning sickness, then he
explained to me that the morning sickness should go away at the end of my first
trimester. Also, he said that for some women the prenatal vitamins could possibly
help with the nauseousness. After we listed to the baby’s heartbeat and made sure
that I was okay he had me make an appointment for next month. I also had to
make an ultrasound appointment for in a couple of weeks.” After I finished
explaining what had happened at the doctors appointment, I was a little out of
breath.
“So he prescribed you prenatal vitamins,” Kate asked.
“Yes,” I answered.
“That’s good, but why did you want me up here while you two talked,” Kate’s
mom asked me.
“Well, I remembered that Kate said that you had her when you were my age so I
kind of wanted to know how you did it,” I said.
“Oh, I think I’m the wrong person you should be talking to since I kind of failed

“Yep, but we’re not really sure how she took it,” I answered.

Nate and I are going to switch to online schooling so that we’ll still get our high
school diplomas and go onto college,” I explained.
“Well, she didn’t kick you out so she must have taken it at least okay,” Kate’s
mom said.
“You look tired so maybe you should take a nap,” Kate suggested.
“No, I think that this flu is going to stop me from doing so,” I replied.
“What did Dr. Hollington say about that,” Kate asked.
“He said to rest as much as I can and it should go away soon,” I said simply. “If it
was bad enough or if I was further into my pregnancy, I would have been put on
