Tobi patted his arm. “Yes, if it’s what I think it is.”
“What do you think it is and what else could it be?”
“In all likelihood it’s the same virus the kids have. The symptoms are exacerbated because of her pregnancy. But it’s good you brought her in. We have medicine we can safely give her and I think an IV will do a lot to make her feel better.”
“And if it’s not a virus?”
“We’re not going to worry about that unless we have to. Now, go wait and I’ll call you as soon as you can come back.”
Zack went back to the waiting area, sat down and stared unseeingly in front of him, imagining all sorts of dire things that might be wrong with Laurel. The longer he waited the more he worried. He pulled out his phone and tried to read some news but he couldn’t concentrate. He had to stop himself several times from googling Laurel’s symptoms and pregnancy. Finally, the nurse came and told him he could see Laurel.
She was lying on the exam table, hooked up to an IV. She still looked a bit pale, but all in all, she looked pretty good considering her last twenty-four hours had been spent in the bathroom being sick as a dog. She opened her eyes and held out her hand when she saw him. “Thank you.”
He took her hand and dropped a kiss on her forehead. “You’re welcome. I’m just glad you’re feeling better. You scared the hell out of me.”
