You woke up in a start, sweating profusely. Your eyes flew to the digital clock on the dresser, and checked the time. 2:36 AM. Oh right. You were still sleeping beside your abusive husband, Luocha. He was snoring lightly, one hand resting on the curve of your waist. How "sweet". You had put sleeping drugs in his food to make certain you wouldn't get caught taking a pregnancy test behind his back.

You gently rose from the bed; a pregnancy test in your hand as you made your way to the bathroom.
