Morghan Sheppard, still not feeling well after several days, decides to head to her doctor’s clinic. Getting an appointment with her GP, as she knows, has never been easy.

The GP’s secretary schedules an appointment for Morghan a full calendar month down the road. It’s the only appointment slot available.

That month, even though it felt like a lifetime, soon passed. Dr. Rachel Garratt, an accomplished GP, was sitting alone in her office when Morghan made her presence felt.

Curiously, after a quick examination and a test, Garratt arrives at a conclusion. Pregnant. Morghan is more than a little horrified.
