“Oh, okay.”

“Everything looks good, Savannah.” Doc pulls the rubber gloves from his hands. I look over to Jenni and her eyes are still wide in disbelief.
“He has to do that every time?” She points at my feet, which are still propped up. I pull them down.
“Not every time.” Doc smiles. “How are you feeling?”
“I feel great. The nausea has subsided.”
“That’s good news. It looks like the remainder your pregnancy should be easier on you.”
“Yeah, I think so. Oh, I do have this pain.” I point to my rib cage. “At times it feels like its burning.”
“Okay.” He stands and presses on the area. "Does this hurt?”
“No, not right now.”
“It may be your muscles stretching as your body conforms to your pregnancy.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“So how’s everything else?”
“Fine. Good.”
“And Sin?”
“Good.”
“What about sex? Are you having any discomfort when you achieve an orgasm?”
I laugh. “That’s not an issue.”
“Oh?” He questions. “You realize that it’s perfectly fine to have intercourse, right? You don’t need to abstain from it.”
“Oh, I know. I get that, but there aren’t any issues in the sex department except maybe I’m wearing him out. I’ve found a completely new sex drive that I didn’t know I had. I can’t get enough.”
“Are you shitting me?” This comes from Jenni.
“No, I’m not shitting you.” I make an effort to move my eyes to the doctor.
“Lucky bitch,” she says under her breath.
He laughs. “Well, pregnancy wise everything’s right on schedule. I do think you need to at least check in with an OBGYN to make sure I’m not missing anything. If it makes the club feel better, I’ll sit in on the exam, if you’re alright with that.”
“Okay, I’ll find out and then I’ll call the office.”
“Great.” He turns to Jenni and reaches his hand out. “Jenni, it was nice meeting you. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around.”
“Yes,” she says. She waits until the door shuts and she starts peppering me with questions. “I can’t believe you and Sin have been going at it like rabbits and you never told me! I thought we were friends.”
I roll my eyes. “So because I haven’t told you every time Sin and I have gone at it, I’m not your friend? Seriously?”
“No offense, but look at you right now. You’re all round and stuff. How is it that you’re even more sexual now than when you were skinny?”
“So you’re saying I’m fat? I’m not fat, you imbecile. I’m pregnant. And it has nothing to do with that.” I throw on my clothes and gather my purse. “I’m not overthinking anything. Jenni, what I feel for Sin and how we express it is something I’ve never experienced. This is love, Jenni, real life love.”
