Feb. 28th, 2016 02:56 pmDemelza rather feels as if her head is spinning.
Earlier in the day, she and Ross had attended the doctor's office at the suggestion of Mindy, who had been so kind as to show Demelza the pregnancy tests back when she had been sick on the street on her very first day of work. She had been told that seeing a doctor would be necessary, that they would want to take a picture of the baby so as to know for certain when it would be due and that they would want to check on the health of the baby, too, but it's all so strange to Demelza that the appointment had been a bit overwhelming. Ross had done his best to help, of course, as he always will, but now that he's kissed her and gone back to work, Demelza finds she doesn't want to go home quite yet.
She has so many questions and she knows of one person who's had a child before. Perhaps his world is not quite like Darrow either, but she suspects it's more like Darrow than her own.
She uses her portable telephone to call Abby and ask if she'll stay with Julia a little while longer, then changes the direction of her course toward Candlewood Apartments. It's only once she's nearly there that she realizes Galen may not be at home, but now that she's come this far, she figures she might as well try. If he isn't, then she'll go home to her daughter and put her questions to bed, at least for now.
As she stands in front of his building and presses the buzzer for his flat, she places her free hand against her stomach. She's so slight that the roundness has become noticeable to her already, though Ross insists she's as small as ever. It's there, however, that first indication she's with child and although Demelza hates the way her body changes with pregnancy, she can't help but smile just a little. Soon enough this child will make him or herself known in much more obvious ways, but for now it's still quiet. Still just for her.
