Chapter 1
"I don't understand this." Howard was standing over the texts the got from the Arena club safe. "Me neither. " Peggy sighed. They had been going over theses documents the entire night and didn't get any further. "There has to be something. I mean why would they hide it so much if it is just weather reporsts and gibberish." "The SSR is still not further in Jacks case either. But he is doing better. Might wake up soon. Maybe he saw something or he can tell us if there was anything the murderer took. His valuables were still in his hotel room." Peggy rubbed over her face. She was so tired. She had worked through the night before, why was this hitting her so much harder? Sure she hadn't been sleeping well. Waking up with nighmares almost every night, but she was still feeling much more run down than she should be. "The concierge saw two men walk up in the time that the murder was attempted. Does Agent Sousa have a clue on those two yet?" Howard asks. Peggy swallows hard, she is starting to feel sick and cold from the sleep deprivation. "I don't know. I found a couple of men who match the description, but i don't know if Daniel found them or got the concierge to identify them. But we have reason to belief they were just hired hitmen." "Sure, but they could still be helpfull. Tell Daniel..." "You can tell it Daniel himself." Peggy snapped. "Woah. Whats going on?" "Daniel and i are not really speaking. We had a fight and i don't want to talk to him right now." Howard lifted his eyebrows. "Okay."
"Ms Carter, Mr Stark. Ana is making breakfast and would like to know if you were to join us?" "Yes. Mr Jarvis we will be up soon." Howard said and Mr Jarvis nodded. Peggy frowned. The tought of breakfast made her stomach turn. "Mr. Stark. Here is the paper for today." "Just leave it here i will read it later." Howard got up." I will change before breakfast. Lets get back to this after." Peggy nodded. Once she was alone, she checked the documents again, that they got our of the Arena Club save. The pins of each member opened the save and had revealed these to them. Suddenly her stomach flipped and she darted over to the sink to throw up. Her stomach had been sensitive for a few days, but she was stressed and tired and so it hadn't worried her, but so far she hadn't thrown up. She washed her face and walked back over to the table they had spread their evidence. Her eyes wandered over the paper. The date stood out to her. The last few days had flown by and Peggy hadn't even noticed. She frowned and looked at the date again. "Oh god." She got up quickly and ran up to the kitchen.
"Mrs Jarvis. I have to talk to you." "Yes dear. Of course." Ana smiled. "Oh darling, did you not sleep all night. You look terribly tired." "I am, but its okay. I..." Peggy stopped. She pulled Ana over to her room and closed the door. "Mrs Jarvis." "Oh call me Ana. Its much over do i feel." "Yes. Thank you. Ana. Then please call me Peggy." "Good. What is it dear? Is it the night terrors? I have notice you waking up at night." "You did?" "Yeah. I heard you. You scream and then you get up and grab a glass of water from the kitchen. I wanted to comfort you, but i didn't want to impose." "I have not been sleeping well. But its fine. Everyone has nightmares from time to time." "True." "That isn't what i wanted to talk to you about. I'm so sorry. I just need a woman to talk to and you are the only one here. So please forgive me." "I don't understand, Peggy. You must explain." Peggy sighed loudly. "Hmm... You know that Daniel and i are not on speaking terms." "Right. I was wondering what that was about." Ana said. Peggy nodded slowly. "Well. Daniel.... We had a nice evening and we were talking about the future and he said, that he always imagined himself having a few kids and a house and maybe a dog and a wife that cooks him dinner when he comes home, and that now with his Chief salary he can afford that and that he is so excited. And i thought that well... we are a couple so i assumed he changed his plan to fit my character better. I said, that with my salary we can afford a cook, because i can not cook for the life of me and a nanny for the kids, since the SSR is hopeless with out the two off us." Ana chuckled. "They really are a bunch of idiots." "Sometimes." Peggys chuckled dryly. "Well. His demenour turned totally. He said he was under the impression that all women want to stay home with their kids, because it is scientificly proven that kids need their mother. And that is just what mother did." "Oh." "Yeah. I said well i don't want kids yet anyway. I love my job and my body and..." A tear ran down Peggy cheak. "Oh, darling." Ana cooed. "Well he said, that we aren't getting any younger and that he wants to get married soon and have kids soon after, he just always dreamed of that Agent Larsons has his son, he just wants that aswell." "And you don't." "I... I don't know. That isn't all. I said, that we can talk about that, but i would definatly be going back to work after. I am not a housewife, not that that is bad... Sorry..." "Oh no. Please. I know what you mean." Ana squezzed Peggys hand. "Well he said. He can for sure find me a parttime desk job at the SSR once the kids are in school." Ana took in a deep breath. "Oh." Peggy sniffled and pulled out a hankerchief. "And now you are not talking." "No. I just left. But that isn't all... The topic seems to have risen in urgency." Ana frowned. "My period is late. over a week." Ana took in a deep breath. "Oh." "And i've been nauseous the last few days and i threw up this morning." "Oh no, darling." Ana cooed. "I don't know what to do. I don't want kids yet. I don't even know if i want kids ever. I mean i grew up being told that that was what was my future. Husband and kids and that. But i... i always chalanged what everyone told me. So... I don't know what to think. I am so tried." Peggy was full on crying now. Ana got up and wrapped her in a hug. "I know, darling. I'm so sorry." "No I'm sorry. I shouldn't be crying to you about that... You of all people." "No... Dear. Please. Its okay. I have made my piece. Edwin and i have started to look into adoption agencys. There is so many kids without parents after the war. They need good homes, too." "That is wonderful, Ana." Ana nodded and smiled. Peggy smiled back tearily and then took a deep breath. "And i don't even have time to think about all of that. The SSR is a mess and its running so much deeper and Jack... I don't have time for this." "Its okay. Why don't we have breakfast with the men and then you take a nap. You look exhausted." "I don't have time. Sorry. I'm not even sure i even am pregnant. I need to finish this case." Ana sighed. "Come on. Atleast eat something."
"This didn't help us one bid. We have to be missing something." Peggy said as they left the Arena Club again. "Yeah." Peggy leaned on the flowerbed and let the sun shine in her face. "Come on Peg, Mr Jarvis is waiting in the car." "Pst." Peggy frowned. She turned to were the noise came from. She looked over and saw a woman with brown hair waiting at the corner. Peggy would have noticed this smile anywere. Dotti Underwood. "What? Why... Dotti." "Hm?" Howard said. Dotti motioned for her and Howard to come over. Peggy grabbed Howards arm and pulled him over the street to where Dotti was standing. "Dotti?" Dotti shook her head and walked away. Peggy followed her. "This could be a trap." Howard said, but Peggy just rolled her eyes. Dotti stopped at the end of the ally. "What are you doing here?" "You are going after the SSR?" Dotti asked. "Not exactly. Only after those who work agains what the SSR is ment to be." Peggy contered. "Well. I have a tip for you, but you need to promise me something in exchange." "What?" "Don't keep looking for me. I have had to leave three times because you were on my heel. You are the only one capable of finding me. I am really good, but i want a normal life. I have never had that. Noone leaves the institution i was raised it unless its for a case. Well they think i'm still in jail. Its my chance to leave this live behind and start a new life with a new name." "You want to change your name?" "Well Dotti is not my name either, you know that right?" "Right." "Well. Do not try to find me. I will go away maybe even go to another contry. Do not follow me. That is what i want." "Okay. Done." "Good. Well check Vernan Masters key again. It opens a hidden cabinet in his studdy at home. You need to use key to the cabinet in his desk to lock it and then use the pin to open the hidden compartment, you'll find some more thing that might help you." "Thank you." "Okay. Bye Peggy. It was nice meeting you." Dotti said and turned. "Wait?" "How did you survive the neurotoxin?" "Where i was raised we were microdosed on all kinds of toxins, it hurts like shit, but it make us more imune to most toxins. I was still out of it for a week." Peggy opened her eyes wide in astonishment. "Jesus." Dotti smiled and ran away. "Wait you are just going to let her go?" "I saw the facility she was raised. She was abused from an early age. She did a bunch of really bad things, but its because she was made to do these things she had no choice. Kill or be killed." Howard sighed. "Great."
The alley was too quiet. Peggy knew trouble when she smelled it, and right now, the hairs at her arms stood up. She stepped ahead of Howard, her hand resting near the holster at her hip. "Stay close," she muttered. "Why whats wrong?" Howard adjusted his tie. "Come on, Peggy. Dotti left. Let's not get paranoid." Before Peggy could retort, figures emerged from the shadows. Five men, all armed. One had a crowbar, another a knife, the rest brandishing pistols. "Stark, Carter." one of them growled. "You've been asking the wrong questions."
Peggy didn't hesitate. She lunged at the closest man, striking his wrist so hard that his gun clattered to the ground. Spinning, she kicked the one with the crowbar in the ribs, sending him staggering backward.Howard, meanwhile, had his hands in the air. "Now, gentlemen, I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding—"The man with the knife lunged at him. Peggy barely had time to yank Howard aside before the blade slashed through the air where he had been standing. She grabbed the assailant's wrist, twisted hard, and sent him sprawling. But pain flared up her arm—a searing, hot sensation. She looked down. Blood was already soaking through her sleeve. "Peg, you're bleeding!" Howard yelped, ducking behind a crate. "No kidding," she hissed through gritted teeth. She turned just in time to block another attack, driving her elbow into an attacker's stomach before slamming his head against the wall. He slid to the ground, unconscious. The remaining two thugs hesitated. Peggy used that. She grabbed one by the lapels, using his weight against him to flip him over her shoulder, sending him crashing to the ground. A swift kick to the head took him out. The last man turned to run. Peggy snatched up a fallen gun and fired at a nearby trash can. The shot echoed through the alley. The man froze.
"Who sent you?" she demanded, advancing toward him. He shook his head. She pressed the gun barrel against his forehead. "Talk."He swallowed hard. "Sandersan. Senator Sandersan." Peggy frowned. "Why?" "I—I don't know! He said to stop you two from digging!" Peggy studied him for a moment, then knocked him out cold with the butt of the gun. She exhaled sharply, pressing a hand to her bleeding arm. Howard peered out from his hiding spot. "So... does this mean we're in trouble?" Peggy sighed. "Howard, when were we not?"
Peggy wrapped her arm in the car. The cut was deep and Peggy knew it might need stitches, but right now she had to get to Vernon Masters house and check the desk. If those men heard Dotti they might detail back to Senator Sandersan and he might get there before them. Howard had gone of to find everything there is to know about Sandersan and left Peggy with Mr Jarvis. "Ms Carter, that looks really deep. Might i suggest a detour over the Emergency department." "No. Time is of the essence Mr Jarvis. We need to see what secrets Vernon Masters had." "Oh I called Ana since we will not be home for lunch, and she wants me to tell you that Mr Sousa called and said the shooter is dead." "What?" "I don't know more. She said, he just said to tell you the shooter is dead." Peggy nodded. "I'll call Daniel."

"Good afternoon, Mrs Masters." Peggy said as the woman opened the door. "My name is Agent Carter and this Mr Jarvis. We are investigating your husbands disapearance. My collegues from the SSR already took everything out of Mr Masters office, right?" "Right. They cleared everything out. I was wondering when i'd be getting that back. My brother wants to help me with all the finance stuff and he needs the papers and documents for that." "Right it might still take a while. Unfortunatly a few documents were missing. So i was sent to check the office again, just to make sure that there is nothing left behind." "Missing?" "Yes. We have reason to assume that some documents were stolen or misplaced on purpose and in order to find your husband we need to find out by whom. But if the papers just fell behind the desk or slipped under a shelf, we would look like real fools looking for a thief." "Quite right. Yes." Mrs Masters opened the door and let Peggy and Mr Jarvis in. "Just up the stairs." She guided them to the office. "I'm sorry, i am cooking for my brother and his wife, they are said to come for dinner. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." Mrs Masters said and scrambled away. "Poor woman. She seems really devastated." Peggy sighed. "Well. Lets head on." Peggy was already regretting putting on the blazer over her dress. She had to hide the bandage, but it was increadibly hot. "There." She pointed to the desk. It was a asymetrical desk, with two drawers built in on the right side. Peggy checked the two drawers. Both drawers could be locked with a key and the keys were conveniantly still in the keyholes. The top drawer was farely small, so Peggy tryed the bottom one first. She opened it with the regular key first. It was a filing cabinet, but like Mrs Masters said, it was empty. She closed and locked it again and then pulled out the Arena Club pin and pushed it into the keyhole. But nothing. So she placed the key back in the hole and turned to the top drawer. She opened it and saw it was empty aswell. She quickly tried out the Arena Club pin and with a silent click the drawer opened. "Bingo." She said and smiled. "The drawer had a double flooring." Mr. Jarvis looked amazed. "Great." Peggy grabbed the files and opened them. The symbol that stared up at her was one that haunted her worst nightmares. "Hydra." She wispered. She put everything back the way it was and hid the papers in her blazer. "Lets go."

"Mrs Carter. Ana is calling us for tea." "I'll be right there." "Oh and Ms Martinelli is said to arrive shortly." Peggy smiled. Angie had landed a small role in a motion picture production and Peggy was very proud of her. Now Angie was going to stay with them for another week until she would fly back to New York. "Thank you. Oh and i talked to Daniel. They found the shooter, he confessed, but he was hired to shoot and before the could get something out of Tompson he killed himself with cyanide. His last words were 'Heil Hydra' " Peggy said and watched as Mr Jarvis swallowed hard. She sighed and got up. Her arm hurt and her mind was anywhere but the case. The files found in Vernon Masters studdie were coded aswell, but not in any code that Peggy knew and as far as she could tell also not the same code that is used in the Arena club files. "Of course its an unbreakable Hydra-code that is going to be the downfall of a Codebreaker."
"ENGLISH!!" Angie yelled as she stepped through the door. "Oh i missed you." "Hey Angie." Peggy smiled and hugged her. "I missed you, too. Ms Fancy Movie Star." "Yeah well i'll only be in the picture for like two minutes." "That is still awesome." Peggy smiled as Angie squezzed her again. "Well how are you doing? Still doing the secret spy thing." "Yeah well bad guys don't stop existing unfortunatly." She winces as the hug pulled on her bandage. "Oh Peggy, You got hurt." "its okay. I already bandaged it." "Well its bleed'n through. Come with me. I'll patch you up. I have four younger siblings and i'm tellin'you they were clumsy as somethin. You'll see i'm awesome at that." "Its really not... I can do it myself." "Oh stop, English. Let me." Peggy nodded. "I'm gonna say hi to the Jarvises and then i'll be there."

"Here you go. I got you some warm water." Ana said as she placed the bowl of water on the small table. "Thank you." Ana smiled and sat down on the chair across from Peggy. "Well, that is quite the nasty cut there, Ms Carter." "Firstnames please, Ana. When you call me Ms Carter it feels like you are scolding me." "Well maybe i should." But Anas face looked more worried than angry with Peggy. "You should really be more carefull, especially now." Ana said worriedly. "I'm always carefull." Peggy said and hissed as Angie cleaned the cut. "Sorry, English. Its quite deep. Do you have some sutures?" "You can do stitches?" "Sure. I learned it from my Ma, she was a nurse." "Okay. There are some in the First-Aid kit under the sink." Angie nodded and got up to get them. "Are you gonna tell her?" Ana asked quietly. Peggy sighed. "I don't even know if there is something to tell." "Peggy." Ana cooed. "She might be able to help you decide." "Yeah." "Are you gonna talk to Daniel?" "I'll have to eventually." Peggy sighed and a stray tear ran down her cheak. "Oh, dear. Don't cry. Its okay. We got you." "What is it?" Angie said confused. "Oh Peg, Why are you cryin'? Hm? Hurts so bad?" "No. Its not that. Its something else." Peggy took a deep breath and then told Angie everything. The fight with Daniel and now her assumption about being pregnant.
"Oh Peg. I'm so sorry." "Its all a mess." Peggy was still crying softly. Angie had already finished sewing and bandaging the wound and was now leaning on the table looking down at Peggy. "I'm so confused. I don't know what i want." "Were you two not being carefull?" Angie asked teasingly. "Not funny, Ange. And yes we were. But aparently that is not a 100% savety." "Eh. I heard the condom people sell the reject condoms for cheaper instead of tossin them out." Angie said and Peggy chuckled. "Its not your fault, English. Yeah?" Angie said and nodded at Peggy. Peggy got up and sat back down at her bed. "I'm terrified." Peggy cryed. Angie sat down next to her. "I was born right after a world war and i fought in the next and i feel like i've never been so scared in my life and so unsure." Angie let out a long breath. "You thinkin about gettin rid of it?" "No... Yes. Maybe... I don't even know for sure if there is an it." "There is a good womans clinic at the hospital. We can get you tested." Ana said and took Peggys hand. "You are not alone, dear." "Yeah. Whatever you do, we are here for you." Peggy let out a big yawn. "Well and on that topic. Peggy, Please go to sleep. Yes?" "Its still early. I have a case." "Peggy, come on you can barely hold your eyes open." Angie said. "You might not know what to do now, but if there is an it and if you decide to have it, you will want to have taken care of it proberly, right?" Peggy wiped her hand over her face. "Yes. Okay. I'll sleep." She nodded. "Good." Ana smiled. "We'll be in the kitchen if you need us. We'll wake you for dinner." "Sleep well, English." Angie said and smiled.
***
"Oh Peggy you are awake, i just wanted to come and wake you." "I just woke up." Peggy said, she still sounded tired and Ana couldn't help but notice her hands shaking. "Did you have a bad dream again?" Peggy didn't answer. She just grabbed a glass of water and took a big sip. The phone rang and Ana left the kitchen. "Peg, You know you can talk to me about that. I can not understand what you have been through, but i can listen. I'm a good listener." Angie said, taking the glass from Peggys shaking hands. "Thank you, Angie, but i'm okay." Peggy smiled weakly. "You're as stubborn as they get." Angie said and softly boxed Peggys uninjured arm. "You aren't much better." Angie smiled and blushed slightly as Peggy squeezed her hand. They looked at eachother a minute to long, before Ana came back and the took a step back from one another. "Oh. Sorry. Peggy. The hospital called to tell you that Chief Tompson woke up. You can talk to him tomorrow." "Thank you, Ana. I'll be going there first thing tomorrow." "Maybe you can go to the clinic while you are at the hospital. You know. Its right there." "I do not have an apointment." "Oh you don't need on. You can just go there. The doctors are really nice. They have helped me so much after my surgery." Peggy picked up her glass again and sighed. "I can come with you." Ana offered. "I'd also go with you." Angie said. "Thats really nice of you, but i'll be okay. I just need to figure out what to tell you husband as he is more or less my partner on this mission, he will want to come talk to Tompson with me." Angie nodded. "Well just tell him it a woman check up. He always got so flustered when i talked to him about my period before my surgery." "Men are really stupid when i comes to that. Like we bleed and?" Angie said and Peggy laughed. "Yeah i remember when i was washing my linnens in a camp in France or Poland or somewhere i don't remember and a Soldier came over to tell me something. He saw what i was doing and turned bright red and turned around. Like there was a war and there was blood everywhere." Ana chuckled and Angie laughed out loud. "Wow. I am always in so much pain, i just want to curl up and cry and you were in an active warzone. Peggy that is badass." "Mine was never super bad. I was pretty lucky in that way. I'm sorry yours is bad." Angie winced. "Well its getting better the older i get. I don't know." "Its not really researched yet." "Yeah. Sadly not." Angie nodded.
Jarvis and Howard came in and sat down a the table with them. "Dinner is ready, i just need to take it out of the oven." "What are we having, my love?" Mr Jarvis asked. "Its like gulash but i made it in a dish in the oven. Its a new recipe i got from Jolanda. I hope its good." Ana said and placing the steaming dish on the table. "It smells awesome." Angie said and Ana smiled.
***
"So we will get to the hospital at 9 tomorrow morning and then meet up after back here. Howard will talk to his friend and then we will try to figure out the code again." Peggy said. "Thats right, Ms Carter." Howard nodded. "Good good." Howard pulled Peggy aside. "Hey Peg, your girl. You think i have a chance with her." "Howard Stark, if you so much as come near Angie i will punch you." "Hey, She is an adult, who wouldn't want to have a nice time with me." "No. Howard. Ew. Stop it. Do not try to court my friends. No. Especially not Angie she had to endure enough men enticing her." "Oh okay. I wouldn't. I'll keep my hands to myself. But she is really pretty." "I can not deny that, but Howard i promiss you she will not want that. Your advances will be in vain. So don't even try." "Pff. Yeah. I don't believe you, but i will not do anything. Promise." Peggy nodded. "Good."

Peggy took a deep breath in the car. The morning had been rough. She had woken up around 4 from a nightmare. Luckily she seemed to not have woken up anyone else. She had gotten herself a glass of water and tried to go back to sleep, but around half past 5 the nausea came in and she had spent the next two hours throwing up. She honestly couldn't remember when she was last so sick. Angie had brought her tea around 7 and shortly after that her stomach seemed to have settled, but she still felt a little queezy and wasn't in a particularly good mood.
"Mr Jarivs. After we have talked to Chief Tompson, i will make my way down to the womens clinc. Angie reminded me to get a yearly check up and since we are already there i thought i might aswell get it done, since i will forget it." Mr Jarvis blushed ever so slightly. "That is quite alright, Ms Carter. I will wait in the car for you." "Thank you." They silence was defining afterwards. "So Hyrda." Peggy broke the silence. "I always thought that it wasn't over yet." "Yes. Aparently so. To be honest that scares me." "Yes. Me aswell." "If Vernon Masters was part of Hydra, i'm not sure we can trust Chief Tompson." "Yes. That is true. But what if he just confiscated the papers about Hydra. What if the Arena club was collecting the data." "That might be true, but we can not be sure. We need to encrypt the documents." "We are onto that. Its not encrypted with any known American encyption also not with any Hydra encryption i know. Howard and i are working on it." "Right."
***
"Marge. I was wondering when you'd come to see me. You look terrible." "Says the man with the collapsed lung. Chief Tompson. I'm glad you are better." "Thanks. If you are here to ask me about the shooter. I didn't see him. He wore a mask." "We already got the shooter. He was a hitman, but he killed himself before we could get something out of him." "Oh. Well can't say i'm sad." Peggy took a deep breath. "I will be honest with you Chief Tompson. I don't know if i can trust you. We have reason to believe that Vernon Masters wasn't only working for the american government. Since you were close with him we need to be sure we can trust you." "I gave you the key to the Arena club. I helped you, i was shot. What more can i do to make you trust me?" "Well. I need you to be completely honest with me. What did Vernon Masters want from you?" "He wanted to help me move up and therefore he wanted me to find dirt about you and use it against you. To humiliate and destroy you." "Okay. And you found something about me. Got it. " "Yes, I investigated because you had something on me. What i told you on the plane." Peggy nodded. "Jack. I'd never use that against you." "Well that is because you are a much better person." Peggy didn't say anything. She turned to look out the window and sighed. She didn't really have a plan, but sometimes saying it right out was the best way. "Jack. Did you or Vernon Masters work for Hydra." "The nazi sience lab?" "Yes." "No!" Jack was genuanly confused. "Well we have found documents stamped with Hydra logo in Vernon Masters office. Therefore we have reasons to believe he worked for Hydra. You were really close with him and followed orders by him, so perhaps you did too." "No. I did not. I don't know who Vernon masters worked for. He always said he had dirt on everyone, but he also said the Arena Club had dirt on everyone, so i assumed he ment that." "Hm." Peggy frowned. "You don't believe me." Jack stated. "No. I do. But i think Vernon Masters might habe been a double agent." "I promiss, Carter. I don't work for Hydra. Never have. Never will. I... The nazis... My sister is mental disabled. I am...." He stopped himself. "I would never support people, who kill others because they are disabled or Jewish or for who they love, or their political views. Okay. I am ruthless, but i have values. I would never. I love my sister more than anything and hearing what the Nazis did to people with disabilities. It makes me sick." "I believe you Jack. Don't worry." "Thank you." "It makes me sick aswell." Jack nodded. "If Hydra really still exists and they have dirt on everyone. They can blackmail themselfs back into power and we can't let that happen." "No. We will not let that happen." Sweat had spread on Jacks face. "You need rest, chief. I promise we are doing our best to figure this out." "I can help." "No. You just woke up from a coma. You litteraly have a tube in your lungs. You need rest and i am not helping. I'll be back to check on you though. Rest, Peggys orders." Tompson smiled. "See you."

"Mrs Carter." A nurse called for her. "Ms. I'm not married." She nodded and pointed to a curtained of space. "Okay. Have a seat please." Peggy nodded. She was so nervous. "What can we do for you today?" The nurse asked. She had a friendly smile and kind eyes. "I think i might be pregnant." "Okay. What gave you the impression? I am late in my period and i have had bouts of sickness the last few mornings." "Okay. When was your last period?" Peggy answered all the nurses questions and let her take her bloodpressure, heart rate and gave a urine sample.
"It will be about four to six hours for the test. We will call you and then you can also set up appointments for prenatal checks." "Okay. Thank you." Peggy said. She had wanted to ask about termination, but she couldn't. She was too scared. The stigma around it was so big. She didn't know who she could trust. She knew she could still ask about it, once she knew for sure.
