Chapter Twelve

Bells was pawing at my arm the next morning to wake me up. I rolled over and scratched her behind her neck.

“Looks like you’re going to have a new friend soon Bells.”

She tilted her head at me and began pawing again.

Rubbing her ears, I informed her, “Yeah and you might not like it. The baby will probably pull your tail a few times.”

Bells sat back on her haunches, yawned and looked bored.

I looked over at the full-length mirror on the wall beside my bed and saw myself reflected back. I had some circles under my eyes and looked sleepy even at a distance.

When I had gotten home the previous night after learning my strange news, I had sat on the couch staring through the window for a very long time.

Shocked and a little afraid, I had watched the sun go down while my overly affectionate cat tried to purr me to death. Other people processed this every day in their own way. Perhaps I was just being dramatic. It wasn’t so much that I was pregnant, although that was frightening enough, it was that I knew nothing about children.

They were fun sometimes when I had been around them, but I had no idea what it was going to be like raising one on my own. I had every confidence that I could do it. I was capable. After recent events, I also knew I was resilient in the face of difficulty, and it was going to be difficult, I had no doubt.

My one remaining question, that lingered with me until I fell asleep, was whether I should tell Logan or not. If I did, what would he do?

I kept thinking back to all the bad luck that seemed to be directly related to him and I almost had to laugh at this point. Maybe I had given too much credence to the events.

This was definitely not bad luck. This was a baby and it deserved a mother who saw it as a blessing. I wondered if my own mother had thought the same way.

My hand reached blindly out for my cell on the nightstand and finally found it.

I hit the internet and started researching.

Hmm. Books about raising babies. One million.

Articles about raising babies. Too many to count.

My baby is an alien. Odd.

Baby names. Let’s not go there yet.

Stages of pregnancy. My kid was the size of a kumquat, whatever that is.

Pictures on birth.

“Ahh gawd!” I grimaced, causing Bells to jump.

I needed Andi. And Jules and Liv but I really needed Andi right now.

Problem was, Brock had been known to monitor Julia and Liv’s texts. Since he pulled his “magic” on getting my new number I was afraid to text her. This news had to stay between us.

I decided a phone call would be best.

“Helloo,” she answered.

“Hey you. Are you working today?”

“Yeah but I’m just getting my coffee. How’s life?”

I heard the chatter of the breakroom over the phone. Everyone lived on coffee up there and I missed the social interaction every morning.
