Pregnancy

"You are kidding!"

Reina whispered something in Rudy's ears that made him question his comprehension ability.

"I am not." She shook her head. "But, I don't know if 'she' was kidding."

"It can't be… I mean…" Rudy paused and pondered for a few seconds to fathom and muttered, "Maria is pregnant?"

"As I said, I am not sure. She told me a while ago and asked me for advice. But before that, you should know that she said that because she missed her cycle— which is more common than you think.

Sometimes, girls skip their menses… or rather, their bodies do. Sometimes, they are unstable and not periodic. Heck, some girls don't even have periods— although that's considered a rare disorder."

Reina seemed awfully calmed about that, but Rudy couldn't hold his emotions.

"Then just use those damn pregnancy tests!"
