that was in her thirties. She was constantly smiling.
-How did you know this news? Have you made a pregnancy test? , – Asked doctor. He was sitting in from of the woman holding pan and was ready to take notes.
-There was no need in a test. I can feel it. And I have all the symptoms. I feel nauseous in the morning; I have strange food preferences. I become extremely emotional. I am crying all the time. And my body has changed.
The doctor nodded and noted something down.
-And how do you feel in general?
- Oh, I’m so happy, I love children. I like to imagine how we will play together, and what books I will read to my lovely baby. – The woman said wistfully.
- And what about your husband? – Asked the doctor.
- And what about him? Of course, he is as happy as I am, - the woman answered with no interest in her voice. And with almost no pause she continued showing much more excitement in her voice, – You know what I am really worried about? It’s so hard nowadays to find a good school. I already found a few variants. Of course, there should be music lessons; I am certain my child will be genius Violin player, or maybe piano, we will see, - it seemed that woman can talk forever about her precious child.
The doctor put his notebook and pen away and took his patient’s hands in his.
- Alice, did you remember our previous meeting? - Asked the doctor in a calm way.
Alice continued smiling, showing no reaction to the doctor’s question. – I showed you your test results.
- Really? I don’t remember, is everything ok with a child.
- Dear, - said doctor, as if he was talking to a small child. – There is no child. You are not pregnant.
And after a small pause when he got no response, he continued, - You can’t be pregnant. You are infertile. Remember, I explained it to you.
Few seconds after this, Alice was still sitting with a smile on her face, as if she hasn’t heard what was said. And then she became furious.
- No, no, it cannot be, you are a liar! - the woman started shouting and then she aggressively pushed the doctor with unexpected for the woman of her weight force. – I’m pregnant, I’m pregnant, I know it, – She continues shouting.
Few nurses run into a cabinet and tried to calm the woman, they have managed to do it, only when one of the nurses give her sedative injection while three others were holding her.
One of the nurses helped the doctor to stand up, - are you ok, Doctor?
- Yes, yes, I’m fine, thanks, take her to her ward, — The doctor said. — I’ll come soon.
The doctor looked tired.
The nurse who helped the doctor to stand up asked him, - What happened to her?
- A poor girl, after a false positive pregnancy test she has known she is infertile, and her husband left her after that she went mad. Her desperate parents took her here. She is our patient for 2 months already, and it’s hard for me to say, but for now, I don’t see any improvements, - finished the doctor looking really sad.
The next day, Alice was sitting again on that couch and smiled as nothing happened.
-Hi, how do you feel?- the doctor asked taking his seat in front of his patient.
- Oh, the doctor amazing, - said Woman smiling.
- Actually, even better than amazing, I have some fantastic news, which I want to share with you.
- Yes sure, what happened, - asked the doctor taking his notebook.
- It's finally happened! - Alice said being extremely excited. She took a breath and continued.
- I'm pregnant!
