"Babe! I already missed hearing your voice, being here is..."

Silence took over the call when he heard you sob. You'd called Leon urgently, although your words could no longer come out of your throat.

For days you've been feeling ill, having dizziness and recurrent vomiting, so you decided to take a pregnancy test, which came back positive. The outcome could have been different, but you didn't consider that any protection you had with your boyfriend could have failed. You were terrified, shaking and not knowing what to say to him, which immediately alarmed Leon.

The last thing you wanted was to get him into trouble because he was at work.

"Honey, talk to me, please", You hear his desperation in his voice, without really knowing what is happening to you. "You're worrying me, I'm going to leave my practice and run to you, okay? Stay there".
