Kim scooped Stella off the sofa and hugged her close as she sat down. Her brain felt like it had been scrambled and she didn’t know what to focus on.
Leo had been honest with her and she had to appreciate that. Didn’t mean she agreed with his assessment of their situation. A small part of her understood his worry, but the logical side wanted to smack him upside the head.
No one got guarantees. Ever. Life was one big-ass crapshoot, and you played the hand you got dealt. She’d learned that lesson on a few different levels. If she lived her life afraid to have a baby, then where did that leave her? No one to love. No one to raise.
Stella purred as Kim rubbed behind her ears. Hell, she didn’t even have Stella. Once she left here, she was on her own. With a baby on the way. She couldn’t forget that. In less than a month she’d be able to screen for Downs. She’d know as soon as possible exactly what she faced, and she’d be ready. Just because Leo wanted something didn’t mean he got it.
She should use his excuse as a reason to hate him, a way to keep her distance from him, but even that didn’t fly. Her rational brain said of course he’s scared, look what he’s had to deal with his whole life. But her emotional side wanted to break down like a child because he didn’t want their baby. Or her. It wasn’t as if she expected him to profess his love and welcome her with open arms. It was just what she wished.
Foolish. Should have been her middle name. Because despite knowing better, she’d gone and fallen for the dope who got her pregnant. And though he said they were in it together, she didn’t want him around if he didn’t love her. Or the baby, for that matter.
Together. What was his definition of the word anyway? Did he mean together together? Like live in the same city or same house? Probably not. He probably meant in the decision making process. Which still sucked because she’d have to deal with him on a regular basis.
Leo’s footsteps padded down the stairs and Kim looked up as his muscular legs brought him closer. His workout shorts were loose around his legs, but his T-shirt fit snug enough to outline his sculpted chest. Even with the stitches over his eyebrow, the scrapes on his face and the road rash on his legs, he was totally drool-worthy.
“Change your mind about the shower?” he asked. She didn’t catch any cynicism in the question. If anything he seemed to understand she needed space. Not that he was willing to give it to her.
“Yeah.” She barely got the word out and focused on Stella since she didn’t want to see the pain in his eyes. There was no way in hell she was going to feel guilty about having this baby.
He watched her for a few seconds before sitting next to her.
