Episode Seven
Noah
Showered and ready to relax and end his night as he had the last two, Noah plopped in bed and grabbed his phone off the nightstand. He hit the app and then the call button. It rang until it went to voicemail and Noah double checked the time. It was still early. He made sure to call before Jackâs bedtime so he could say goodnight to him. About to hit the dial button, Roniâs picture popped up on his screen. She was calling him back but on the phone.
âHey, what happened? Why didnât you do the video chat?â
âBecause Iâm still working on getting this guy ready for bed, and itâs easier to walk around with my earpiece on than video chat.â
Noah picked up the remote to lower the TV. âOkay, whateverâs easier as long as you two are the last two I talk to before I go to bed. So, what happened with your birth control?â
He heard her huff. âYouâre not gonna believe this. I called the pharmacy, but they didnât have my prescription, so I called the doctor, and they said they canât prescribe them until I take a pregnancy test to rule out that Iâm not pregnant before I start the new pills. So, now I have to go in tomorrow if I want to make sure I get my pills before my period is over. Which Iâm sure is coming any minute.â
She went on to name all the signs of why she knew her period coming. Among them were her mood swings, which was a relief because it explained why sheâd been so weird when he talked to her earlier. For a minute there heâd thought maybe Jackâs results werenât as positive as she first made it sound and maybe sheâd been afraid to break it to him.
Right on cue, she switched the subject to just that. âI got a call from the doctorâs office. Itâs official. Jackâs a perfectly normal two-year-old.â
Noah could hear the smile on Roniâs face, and he lay back, exhaling loudly. âSo, youâre done, done? No more follow ups?â
âNope. All done.â
âThank you, Jesus. Now we can really move on from this shit.â
âYes, we can.â Roni agreed quickly. âI donât even wanna talk about it anymore or I might start crying. How was your tournament?â
Surprised by this since it was all sheâd talked about for months, he thought for sure sheâd want to go over his results and everything they said and such. But hey, if itâd been up to him, he wouldâve been done discussing this months ago. Even better? This meant heâd also heard the last of Dr. Douche.
âIt was good. Still winning.â
The nightâs conversation was cut shorter than normal because Jack, who Roni said had a long day, started getting fussy. Since it was still early, Roni said sheâd call him back if she was able to get Jack asleep early enough. But by ten, Noah figured he wasnât hearing back from her and called it a night himself.
