"But I don't want a baby," Lila blurts out, as if her will alone could keep it from happening. She's never thought about the possibility, because for her there's never been one. She takes care of herself, and herself only.

"I don't feel pregnant, Lily," she insists, feeling dizzy from more than the drink. "I don't feel like there's...anything in me." She quiets a moment, her mouth drawn in a firm line. "What is the test?"

Surely she'll pass it, and it will say she's fine.
