Ashley looked up and stared in disgust at her reflect in the mirror on the dressing table. If she had been pregnant it would have been a disaster- there was no two ways about it- wanting to have a baby with a man she didn’t even have a real relationship with was just idiotic. Not to mention the whole president angle! Ashley winced when she thought about that. Michael would have killed her if she had been pregnant. At the very least Norm was sure to have made her kill the baby. Ashley couldn’t stop herself laying a protective hand over her flat stomach, as though this baby was something more than a figment of her imagination. “I’ve got to be more careful,” she murmured, resolving to make an appointment with her doctor the very next morning. It seemed that Michael wasn’t exactly the careful type so it would be down to her to make sure that there weren’t any more little scares.
