The doctors begin the slow process of weaning Adam off the ToZaPrex, so Adam is relieved that he’ll still be on the drug for a while. He has to submit weekly blood and urine tests to make sure his body doesn’t show worsening signs. Adam decides his therapist is the best of all the doctors because “you never make me pee in a cup” (189).
At school, rehearsals continue for Stations of the Cross, which is a nice distraction from baby preparations. At home, Paul is obviously stressed, and Adam’s mother cries at everything. Adam is in charge of dessert at the upcoming baby shower. He invites Maya over to help him make a list of things he’ll need. When they realize they are alone in the house, they rush upstairs, only to hear the garage door open. Maya leaves. Adam is frustrated, wondering whether they just missed their opportunity to have sex. Rebecca shoots him grins and twirls her hair, looking “pleased with herself about something” (193).
After Stations of the Cross rehearsal one day, Adam goes to put things away in the storage room like he always does.
