Six weeks on Thursday." Shit." Yeah. I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow. Can you come with me?" Sure." Thanks. And don't tell Chelsea. I'll tell her after I know one way or the other." Okay. Are you sure you want to go out tonight?" I NEED to go out. I'm going crazy every time I sit still." Okay," said Elaine, smiling softly. She could.
