Karen walked into the crowded café and looked around the roomuntil she spotted her friend, Ann. Ann had found a table for twotowards the back of the room. She was bent over the universitynewspaper as Karen approached her. “Hey! Here’s my favoritenewlywed,” proclaimed Karen. Ann looked up from the paper andnodded a hello. Karen stared at her friend, her eyebrow slightlyraised. “I know you’ve been married for two months, and hence thehoneymoon is over,” she smirked, “but come on, it can’t be badyet,” Karen half stated, half asked. “We’re fine,” Ann mumbledsoftly. “Then why the long face?” asked Karen. “Having a hard timein one of your courses?” she suggested. “No,” sighed Ann. “I’mdoing really well in my courses, and it’s nice to come home and bewith John,” said Ann as she gazed at her wedding ring. “Sooo...?”asked Karen. Ann looked straight at Karen. Karen thought she couldread confusion and panic in Ann’s strained face. “I’m late,”blurted out Ann. “Is there any way I could be pregnant?” “Well...you are married, to the man you love, birds and bees, that sort ofthing... I guess that means you could be,” stated Karen. “When wereyou, umm, guys together?” asked Karen. “It’s called sex,” said Annrolling her eyes. “Since when have you been shy around me? Thething is we’ve not had sex a lot this month. John went to ameeting, and we want to start taking precautions because we want tobe married for a while and finish school before we start ourfamily. So, in the last month we really only had sex once and thatwas, I think, in a ‘safe’ part of my cycle.” “Did you use some formof protection that one time?” asked Karen as she leaned closer toAnn. “Well, no,” replied Ann. “I told you, I thought it was safe.It was on day 16 of my cycle. So there is no way, right?” Karenlooked at her friend. “What?” asked Ann. “You’re the biology major.You’ll tell me there is no way, right?” Karen pulled out a sheet ofpaper from her notebook. “I need to ask you a few questions,” Karensaid. 1.
