I hummed as I cracked eggs into a bowl. It was amazing what a good night’s sleep could do. My stomach was better, and I’d decided to call Victor and arrange to head in for a short shift in the afternoon.

But first, breakfast.

I whisked my eggs, and popped some bread into the toaster. A pat of butter in the pan, then I poured in my eggs.

And immediately regretted it.

One hand covered my mouth as I turned off the stove and moved the pan off the heat. Then I bolted to the bathroom.

I was glad I’d had a fairly light dinner as I grabbed a handful of toilet paper to wipe my face and made a mental note that eggs were decidedly off the menu.

I sighed and leaned back against the wall. I’d obviously picked up a bug somewhere, though it was an odd one. Usually I wasn’t so scent sensitive.

In fact I hadn’t had a reaction to eggs like that since I was pregnant with Samantha.

“Oh, God…” I said, realization washing over me. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

I shook my head. That couldn’t be it. It had been nearly a year since my last heat. Then again, Alan and I had never bothered with protection.

My head thunked against the wall. I’d have to go get a test. That would be the only way I’d know for sure.
