The pregnancy had been unplanned. Children were never a concrete part of her plan. For so much of her life, her one goal was to become a doctor, to save lives, and it was so all-consuming that there was never room for anything else. The future that she had imagined for herself as a freshman in college was always set under the fluorescent lights of a trauma room. The other parts of it, the life she would have outside of her work, was always fuzzy at best. Jack had been the lovely surprise at the end of her residency, knocking on her door the day she graduated, flowers in his hand and his heart on his sleeve. She would have never dreamed up Jack Abbot for herself all those years ago in her freshman dorm room, yet here he was, making her life better in every way that mattered. So she can’t help but allow herself to start to imagine a life with a child, half of him and half of her.
