“Where is my bracelet?” she asked herself as she looked through her jewelry box. She groaned, unable to find it. She closed her eyes, trying to remember where she had last worn it. But she wasn’t fully awake and after a night of no sleep because of Derrik, it was hard to function.Just as she was about to give up, she imagined the bracelet on her wrist. She could feel someone touching her softly and with so many emotions that it made her whole body tingle from that one spot on her wrist.“Where did you get this?” a smooth voice with the smell of alcohol asked, and her eyes sprang open.“Vegas,” she declared and she shuddered. She moved to the closet and got her bag. She took out the small jewelry bag she had taken with her. She dumped everything out and grabbed her bracelet. As she put it on, a silver ring caught her eye.“Where did that come from?” She lifted it up to inspect.It was a simple silver band. She frowned at it and turned it around in her fingers. Suddenly, what looked li

“Of course not. He’s married,” she said with a nervous laugh, which everyone picked up on.“Okay, spill,” Keira demanded. “During my exam, I—” she stopped talking. “You what?” Keira prodded.“I got aroused,” she whispered, her face hidden in her hands. She closed her eyes and dropped her eyes, her embarrassment building as the girls started to laugh.“Do you think he could tell?” Sia asked after controlling her laughter.“I am sure he did. He was down there.” She pointed downward. “And I was really wet.”“How wet are we talking?” Keira asked excitedly.“I would have been a water slide if I got any wetter.” They laughed, making Pandora groan. “But he didn’t say anything. I am grateful for that.”Sia took hold of her hand and made her look. “Come on. A lot of women become turned on, more so during pregnancy. I am sure he has seen and dealt with that situation before. Don’t be embarrassed.”Pandora nodded, trying to feel better about the situation. “Anyway, it is better than drooling o

“Please remove your jacket and lie down,” he instructed. She did just that and the nurse walked in. “Can you move your top up a little and your pants down?”She adjusted the article of clothing like he asked and watched as he washed his hands at the sink. When he walked back to her, he rubbed his hands together.“I am warming them up,” he informed her.“Don’t people say that cold hands make a warm man?” Her words made her chuckle slightly.“I think they do, but moms don’t appreciate it when my hands are cold. The gel is cold enough for them as it is.”“Derrik’s hands were always so warm. I was bothered by them. I mean, who likes holding a hot plate all the time?” she muttered and Dr. Parks hummed and went on with his exam.“Your little Bean seems to be doing well. I am going to use the Doppler to listen to its heartbeat.”Within seconds, she heard the galloping sound again and she closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. “Sounds good,” Dr. Parks affirmed and she opened her eyes to look at

Milton grinned evilly. He nodded his head but his cackle slipped out. “My brother-in-law is a good guy. He never drinks more than one beer. The only girlfriend he has had is a girl he met in his first year of college.”Pandora motioned him to go on.“It took him two years before he asked her out officially and then another year before he lost his virginity to her.” Milton rolled his eyes like it was a bad thing. Pandora slapped his arm, giving him a displeased look. “Anyway, they stayed dating for four years and she dumped him because he didn’t ask her to marry him. He didn’t even ask to move in with her. Three years pass and she returns triumphant. She has slept with half the city and is ecstatic that my brother-in-law remained single. He was doing well in life by this point. He didn’t hear anything we had to say and started dating her again. Four more years pass and she demands him to propose. He says he is not sure and she starts making trouble right before the second sister’s wedd

“You ready?” he asked and Pandora looked around at him. He wiggled his brow and she grinned, nodding. The door to the elevator opened and he looked both ways. His smile broadened and then he ran down the hallways with her giggling in the wheelchair the whole time.“Doctor Parks?” someone called, making him come to a halt, ending the exhilarating ride.“Yes?” he answered.“Is this Mrs. Leonard?” a woman asked but there was a lightness in her voice.“Ah, Emily, this is Pandora Leonard. Pandora, this is Emily.” It took Pandora everything not to groan. She recognized the woman immediately.“Pandora?” Emily sounded surprised to see her. “Hi,” she carried on.“You know each other?” Dr. Parks asked.“We went to the same high school,” Emily answered for both of them. “Well then, Emily, can you take her to her room and get her settled? I will be in to hook up the IV myself in a few minutes. I am going to go and get the scanning equipment ready for me to do a full scan on her,” Dr. Parks said
