Holly shook her head and opened the entrance door to the brick building, holding it open for her "Don’t stall That’s just nerves talking Now, co her shoulders back, Sabrina nodded "I can do this"

Then she walked inside and headed for the front desk, Holly by her side "I’m Sabrina Palmer I have a ten-thirty appoint, Miss Palmer Your insurance card please"

Sabrina pulled her insurance card from her purse and handed it to the receptionist

After the receptionist ticked a nah her system, she reached for a clipboard, pinned two forether with a pen "Fill these out and bring them back when you’re finished"

"Thanks" Sabrina took the clipboard and turned toward the waiting area

Both she and Holly sat down While Holly reached for a glossy azine with celebrities on the cover, Sabrina filled out the questionnaire as thoroughly as she could Then she handed it back to the receptionist and sat back down

Holly closed the onna na at the other wo at her Did this wonize her from the picture in the newspaper? Had she read the article? Sabrina sighed How could she think about babies and a future with Daniel right nohen there was so much chaos in her world?

"We don’t even knohether I’nant," she responded under her breath and looked back at her friend "It could all be a false alarm It happens all the time; you miss a period, because you’re under stress And if anybody is under stress right now, then it’s I"

Holly put a reassuring hand over hers "Sweetheart, you need to learn to relax Maybe I should take you to a spa for an afternoon"

Sabrina rolled her eyes "I don’t have time to relax There’s still so much to do And now that my parents are here, I have to play referee on top of it Besides,her arrival day" She shook her head

After consulting her cell phone, she’d had to ade apprising her of her earlier arrival Sabrina otten it Could this nant? She’d once read that a wonancy And then there’d been the dizzy spells, and in the s she’d occasionally felt a little unwell She wouldn’t classify it as s are right now, I’m not sure I’m ready to be a mother"

Holly chuckled and shook her blonde locks "You’ll do fine, and you know it"

"Still, azes locked "You know"

Holly nodded

Sabrina had had a talk with Holly the day she’d found out about the article, after Daniel had told her on the way home from the beach that both Ti deeper, Daniel had also confessed that his parents were aware of the situation, but that he hadn’t told them the whole story And once Sabrina had heard the sanitized version Daniel had dished up to his parents, she felt a tiny bit better At least Daniel’s parents weren’t horrified They actually thought that the way Tim and Holly had set up their blind date was cute, despite the fact that it was unorthodox If only they knew the truth!

"Don’t worry, we’ve got it under control," Holly assured her, leaning closer "Tis Give it another day or two, and we’ll get the newspaper to retract the story and issue an apology"

"Tellaround the waiting roo back at Sabrina "I can’t Please, you just have to trust us I just don’t want you to get all excited You’ve got enough to worry about right now Leave it up to the guys and me We’ll take care of it"

Sabrina couldn’t keep the frown off her face "I would be less stressed if I knehat you’re trying to do At least then I’d have soo away But just knowing that Audrey is behind all this makes me want to throw up"

Holly patted her hand "That’s just the et what she deserves I’ll guarantee it"
