Did you write this story? It's very well-written and beautifully

There are a couple of places I couldn't understand:
1. what does "an acute case of pregnancy" mean?
Yes, I am sure, I tell Tim, I am going to go buy a car. He considers me through half-opened eyes for a moment, says, okay, then rolls back over and goes back to sleep. The first order of business is to return the used car that I picked up the day before. My contractions are about ten minutes apart. I discovered that I contracted an acute case of pregnancy within two weeks of moving to Albuquerque from Dallas, where I lived for the last five months. I made the decision to place the baby up for adoption not long after, having found myself homeless and broke and with no one to turn to. I told my family that I wouldn’t be keeping him and within a week, my sister Kim called and asked if she and her hu*****and could adopt him. She was twenty-two and had been married for three weeks. Of course, I said, relieved.
2. What words are at the two XXXXs?
Last night, at the XXXX of Tim’s stepdad, I went to a car lot that sells used rental cars. The slimy salesman delivered his XXXX to Tim, not me, even though  I made it clear  that I was the one with the money; still, he barely looked at me and instead locked eyes with Tim while he explained the great benefits...
