Pregnant
I was sent to a Domestic Dispute at a retirement home in Auckland. The job information said the complainant was a female aged over 70 who was having a domestic dispute with her “ex” and that she was pregnant.
After confirming the words in the last piece of information, I went to the scene to be met by an elderly female who did kind of appear to be pregnant.
She was wearing makeup that made her look like an aging Bette Davis and she was smoking. On the walls of her unit was a picture of Jesus, flanked by pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. During the rambling conversation she hinted that one of these three was responsible for the pregnancy.
She said that she didn’t need the stress of a domestic while “in her condition.” While saying this, she patted her stomach. I asked her if smoking was the right thing to be doing and she said that it hadn’t killed her yet and probably wouldn’t now.
I asked her who the father of the child was and she replied, “Immaculate conception, dear.”
Needless to say, I recorded and closed the job after giving the report over the air to everyone who was waiting for the story.
