The Affair Continues, Part 4

*********************************************************************

Two weeks later, the married lovers were in just about the same positions. It was still early in the morning and they thought they could get some quality time in. Bill was on top of and inside of Teri. Teri was thrashing her head back and forth and trying to maintain her composure. However, she as much as her body craved this and as much as she wanted this, she could not. She did not feel right. Her head was spinning, her mind in a daze, she seemed to be going round and around a whirlpool.

She stopped Bill, apologized and said that she couldn’t do it anymore. She said she felt so dizzy she felt sick. She got up and promptly ran into the bathroom and got sick.

Bill feeling worried got up to check on her. When she was finished he checked her forehead. No fever here.

He asked her what was wrong and she said she didn’t know, she just felt really dizzy and nauseous.

Bill wanted to smile, but he dared not get his hopes up. They had a really hard time getting pregnant with Tyler, their oldest, and he knew that she had not stopped her pills yet. She was waiting for one more period and then she was stopping. Besides, he knew she wasn’t sick a single day with the boys.

“Maybe you should call in and get a sub for the day. Then go and see the doctor. It’s the end of October, just in time for the flu season to start at school.” “I’ll get the boys to school for you.” “Will you be alright getting to the doctor’s by yourself?”

Teri nodded that she’d be fine then winced as the sudden movement had caused her head to spin again.

Teri sat in the doctor’s office waiting to see the doctor with an Emison’s basin in her hand. She hadn’t vomited in a while, but with the way she felt, she just never knew. She wondered why it was shaped the way it was. Whoever this Mr. Emison was that it had been named after sure had a funny way of viewing things. That skinny little curved shape wouldn’t hold anything, she thought.

The nurse came and called her to the examination room then sat her down to get her history. She asked her about her symptoms, and checked for a fever, there was none.

“When was your last period?” the nurse asked.

It was a standard question, she thought.

“Oh, um, I’m a week overdue for it, but I’m on the pill. Sometimes with these my period is very little if any at all.”

Teri thought about the implication, but shook it off to being the flu. She had been on the pill this whole time and never missed a day.

The nurse asked a few more standard questions then said the doctor would be in shortly.

The doctor came in a few minutes later and greeted her kindly. He was an old fashioned family doctor and she had been to see him many times before. He was familiar with Teri as a patient as saw her usually once a year, maybe twice, with whatever bug was being passed around school at the time.

He checked down Teri’s throat and looked into her eyes and ears, checked her glands, then had her lie back on the table as he palpitated her internal organs. Her glands seemed normal and her head was clear of any mucus. He was willing to chalk it up to a good case of the stomach flu, when he had a thought.

“Teri, when’s the last time you had your yearly pap smear?”

“I’m just about due for one now, why?”

“I could do one for you, now and save you a trip to the GYN.” He said, “That is, if you don’t mind.”

Teri had been his patient for years and trusted him implicitly. She gave her approval and he called for his nurse to come in and assist.

Teri went behind a screen and undressed putting on the paper gown he had given her to put on. As she changed, she worried about what had made him decided to do this. She was afraid of what he might find.

The doctor did his internal examine with the nurse present. He carefully collected the tissue he needed on the end of a swab to be sent in and tested. Then he went in to check her uterus and ovaries for any abnormalities. He smiled a little then muttered something to the nurse. Then he moved up to examine her breasts. Her breasts were slightly tender to the touch, causing Teri to wince a little.

He said, “Okay, Teri, you can get dressed now and the nurse will be right in to see you again.”
