To Those of you that can not accept the fact men are men and woman are woman no matter what their race move on, I read your comments they are so funny, wake up it's 2010.

I awoke before Ronnie on Friday morning. After making coffee I thumbed through the phone book for clinics near work. After writing down a couple of numbers I went to wake Ronnie, "Ronnie wake up."
"Huh, what is it?"
"Ronnie, should I schedule the test for you?"
"Babe I'm not comfortable with that."
"Okay, It's time to get up."
I went back to the kitchen and poured a coffee before making the calls. I made an appointment for that morning.
I called Steve to let him know I would be late this morning, "Hello, Steve this is Ali."
"Hello Ali, what can I do for you?"
"I have a doctors appointment this morning, I'm going to be late."
"Is everything all right?"
"Yes, just a little growth I want to have looked at, I should be in around 10:00."
"Okay, call if you need anything, bye."
"I will, Bye."
I went back to the bedroom and got dressed, "Ronnie, get up we have to go."
I went out to the car and started it. I gathered my skirts from the back seat and put them in the hamper.
Ronnie came out of the bedroom as I was coming out of the laundry, "Ready?"
"Yeah, lets go."
backing out of the driveway I grabbed the mail from the week, putting it in my bag, "Are you coming with me?"
"I gotta go home," I dropped Ronnie off before going to the A.T.M.
I got to the clinic and went in. Quickly filling out the paperwork, I returned it to the nurse. I didn't have to wait long, "Ali."
I walked back with the nurse, "I see you need a pregnancy test and S.T.D. tests."
"Yes."
She filled out the paperwork for the lab and pointed the way, "When your done have a seat in the waiting room."
I went to the lab and gave the specimens they needed, I returned to the waiting room. I waited about 20 minutes before I was called, "Ali."
I was brought back to an exam room and waited. The doctor came in about 5 minutes later, "Well, Miss Rhodes all the S.T.D. tests are negative."
"It's Mrs., and that's a relief."
"Your pregnancy test is positive."
"I was afraid of that."
"That's good news."
"No, I strayed, there was a problem with the condoms I bought."
"What was the problem?"
"When we were done all that was left was a ring around the base."
"When did this happen?"
"About a month ago."
"According to this report your about 13 weeks along."
"I had my last period about 6 weeks ago."
"It's rare for a woman to have one period after conception, although it is possible."
"My husband has slow swimmers."
"Slow not sterile, it's possible you concieved from him."
"Is it possible that the date of conception is wrong."
"It is possible, although it is also rare."
"Is there another test I can do to narrow down the time?"
"Medicine is not an exact science, I could do an ultra sound and make an estimated guess from the size of the fetus."
"When can we do that?"
"I can do it now."
"Okay."
"I need you to undo the bottom 3 buttons of your shirt and lay back."
I did as instructed and the doctor rolled over the machine, "That may cause a problem."
"What?"
"The bandage."
"I got a tattoo last Sunday."
"Well remove the bandage and let me see how it is healing."
I removed the bandage so he could inspect my tattoo, "We can try, let me know if it hurts to much."
"I need to know, so lets try."
"Lay back and look at the screen."
The doctor rubbed an ointment on my belly before placing the sensor in place. A picture soon appeared, "Give it a couple of minutes to calculate it's readings."
"It looks like a blob."
"It's still early on, the fetus should start to form in the next week or two."
"If I'm thirteen weeks along shouldn't I have morning sickness?"
"That is about the time morning sickness would occur, not all woman experience morning sickness though."
"I understand."
"All right, the picture is clearer and the calculations are done."
"So what am I looking at?"
"From what I can see there is a single fetus."
"Okay, what about those numbers?
"The numbers give us an estimate on how big the fetus is, that gives us an educated guess as to how far along you are."
"So what are we looking at?"
"Hold the sensor," I held the sensor and the doctor grabbed a book, he looked up the numbers.
The doctor printed the information and shut the machine off, "What do they tell you?" I sat back up.
"See the numbers at the bottom of the print out?"
"Yes."
"See these numbers here?" pointing to a book.
"Yes."
"They are the same."
"Yes." He scrolled over with his finger to a 12.
"With the two tests the best estimate is you are at least 12 weeks along."
"I see."
"Do you have any more questions Mrs. Rhodes?"
"Am I to far along for an abortion?"
"According to these tests you are."
"Thank you doctor."
"Your welcome, anything else?"
"Not at this time, thank you."
"Have a good day Mrs. Rhodes."
"You too."
I paid the bill and went to work arriving at 9:45. Walking past my assistant, "Is everything okay Ali?"
"Yes everything is fine, thanks for asking," I went into my office sitting down, I let out a sigh of relief.
I worked through lunch so I could leave at 5:00.
I got home at 5:30 and started a load of laundry. I had dinner and sat down to watch T.V. finding nothing on I remembered my mail. I turned off the T.V. and read the mail.
The last letter I opened was from a payroll service. I opened the letter and read it, You are recieving this check per the order of our client. I looked at the check it was for $2500.00.
