Chapter 213
~ Octavia ~
I couldn't stop thinking about my mother's question. "When last did you get your period?"
The truth was, I had no idea. I'd been so wrapped up in work, the court case, the wedding planning, that I hadn't even noticed time slipping by like that. But now that the question had been asked, it was all I could think about.
She did not push, I just dismissed her slightly and told her it was nothing and I had gotten my period. She looked at me skeptically but let it go.
That night, after everyone had left and I was alone in the house except Olga and others. Franklin and Fredrick had gone out. I made a decision. I drove to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test. Actually, I bought three of them. If I was going to do this, I was going to be thorough.
Back home, I sat in the bathroom for what felt like an eternity, staring at my hands. I was nervous. Excited. Terrified. All at the same time.
