Sera, not expecting any calls, wondered briefly who it was. She made her way over to the table where the phone sat and picked it up. “Hello.” “Hello,” came an unfamiliar woman’s voice. “I’m Darlene from Dr. Yules’ office. Is this Sera?” “Yes, this is Sera.” “I was calling to inform you that the results are back. Two of the fetuses are doing just fine.” Sera felt relief rush to her head. She hadn’t tried to focus on negative possibilities but it was something she knew she’d have to keep in mind. She hadn’t realized how much she’d wanted to hear those words since she’d been inseminated until she’d gotten the good news. “That’s fantastic! Thanks for calling.” “You’re welcome. Don’t forget your next appointment is scheduled for next Monday.” “Thanks for reminding me.” “Have a good day.”
