Too annoyed to think of a comeback, Theresa folded her arms sullenly.
‘You’re pregnant, my dear.’
Theresa went white. Without thinking, she grabbed the chair for support, sinking down slowly into it. It took a second or two to process what he’d just said. When eventually she spoke her voice sounded croaky and odd.
‘That’s not possible. I’m infertile. I tried for years … my ex … specialists.’ Her powers of sentence construction seemed to have deserted her. ‘There’s no way. I’m forty-four.’
‘Well, sorry,’ the doctor shrugged. ‘But you are pregnant. I can tell you that with one hundred per cent certainty. You’ll need to have a scan but I would guess you’re somewhere in the region of three months along. Does that ring any bells?’
Yes. Christmas bells. Horatio’s loving, tortured face loomed into mental view. It was ridiculous, impossible. All those years of trying and hoping, of ovulation tests and IVF and sperm spinning and macrobiotic diets. And here she was, twelve years and one drunken one-night-stand later …
‘You must have missed at least one period.’
‘Probably,’ Theresa mumbled. ‘I’m so irregular anyway. I thought …’ She laughed nervously. ‘I thought it might be menopause.’
‘Again, I’d stick to the poetry. So I take it the pregnancy is … unexpected?’
She nodded, stunned.
‘But, you’re planning to go through with it?’
She looked up as if she’d been stung. ‘Go through with it? Yes. Of course.’
