That got an amused snort out of her. "That's sweet, but I should be OK," she replied, kissing him on the cheek. "I'll see you in a few minutes, OK?"
She padded down the hall to the bathroom, closing the door gently behind her. She opened the box and pulled out the test, reading the instructions through three times. And then, figuring there was nothing else for it, went ahead and did her business.
The waiting seemed to stretch on forever. The box said she'd see results in 3 minutes, but she counted to 60 in her head five times, mostly to stop herself from hyperventilating.
Chancing a look down at the test, she felt her knees get weak as she looked at the little blue + in the window.
"Joss?" she called, cracking open the bathroom door.
