brushed it off. There was nothing she could do about how she felt and the idea of Ashton back in town made her smile to herself like a nob. Ania didn’t want to have this small sliver of hope that they would meet again, but she did.
    Her hopes were unfounded, though. Ashton never came to see her and she heard he was leaving town and she hadn’t seen him once. Maybe he didn’t want to see her as much as he had claimed. He didn’t seem to want the next time again, though she could only think of that. When she heard that he was gone again, she tried to really forget about him. It had been a couple of months and it was time to let it go.
    Ania even stopped waiting for him. She tried to get back into the dating scene, but it never went past a couple of dates. She was not feeling herself and one evening when she was on a blind date, Ania got light-headed and ended her date before the entrees were even out. It was a weakness that she had not experienced before, but she had been more and more tired as of late it seemed. She didn’t know what was going on with her body, but the last thing she needed was to stay out on another blind date. It was exhausting and the last thing that she wanted to do was date. After Ashton, no man measured up and she still kicked herself for giving into her desires. Ania had known that he was no good.
    She went home and tried to lie down, hoping she would feel better. Instead, the way she felt got worse and finally her mother insisted that she go to the doctor the next morning after a night of tossing and turning. Ania was sure that it was nothing, but there was a part of her that wondered what was wrong. Something was different in her body, she just wasn’t sure what.
    “You are pregnant Ania. That is good news!”
    She had him repeat himself, so sure that she had heard him wrong. How could she be pregnant? Ania looked over at her mother who was sitting there with her and she could see the shock on her face as well. The doctor seemed to pick up on the fact that the news wasn’t quite as good as he thought it was.
    “Why don’t I give the two of you some time…”
    “No doctor, we don’t need anytime. I just need to make sure you are sure.”
    “Yes, we are sure. You are definitely pregnant my dear. I will leave you with a couple prescriptions for vitamins. I will need to see you back in a couple of weeks.”
    He had a good way of backing off to let the two of them handle the delicate situation. Ania found it impossible to meet her mom’s gaze, but she surprised her with a hug and kiss on her forehead. “It is going to be fine, Ania. We are just not going to tell your father for a bit.”
    Ania agreed rather readily. The last thing she wanted to do was tell anyone. She wouldn’t have told her mother if she would have waited in the waiting room like she had asked. There was a question that she was waiting for and Ania was unsure how to answer it when she asked.
    “Who is the father, Ania?”
    She just shook her head. “I really have a headache. Do you think we can just drop the prescriptions off to get filled and go home?”
    Her mother agreed, but she was poised to ask more. “Is there a reason you don’t want to tell me?”
    “I am still trying to process all of this. It is going to take time. I have to tell him first. I don’t want him to find out from someone else, so can you please keep this between us?”
    “Of course, Ania.” Her mother was just relieved that she knew who it was. Once she became eighteen, the older woman was out of the loop.
    The rest of the way back to their house, the silence stretched out between the two of them. Ania didn’t want to talk, but her mother was not going to let it drop. “You know we are going to have to tell your father. I can’t keep anything from him. I have never been good at lying.”
    Ania sighed to herself. Her mother was not one to keep her mouth closed about anything. She was the one that all of the ladies in town went to for
