“I have a question,” I heard my sister-in-law say from the bathroom doorway.

I groaned as I spit into the toilet again. I’d had an irresistible craving for a bagel with cream cheese this morning, but since I’d missed my workout, I’d denied myself and had a protein bar instead. Puking was clearly my body’s way of telling me to fuck off.

“Would you like to know my question?”

I lifted my head and sat back on my heels as I waited to see if the nausea had passed.

At first, I thought I was dealing with a stomach bug. I was convinced the ranch dressing at the cookout yesterday was bad, but now that I was sick again because of my breakfast, I wondered . . .

“Hello? Come on. I really want to ask you.”

“What?” I snapped as my stomach churned again.

“Will you end up as one of those people who goes to the ER thinking her appendix is rupturing and then goes home with a baby, or are you going to admit you're pregnant in time for us to throw you a shower and decorate the nursery?”

As I leaned forward and gagged again, I heard Reagan’s voice in the hall. “She’s gonna stand up, and a baby’s going to drop out of nowhere. I just hope it happens over the tile because that’s gonna make one hell of a mess if it’s on the carpet.”

“No baby is gonna drop out of Merry Land,” I assured Reagan as I wiped my mouth.

“I bet the residents of Maryland wouldn’t like being compared to . . .

“Children!” Brenda interrupted. “Focus, people. Reagan, grab my purse. I bought a pregnancy test yesterday.”

“It’s a virus, Bren,” I argued, although her theory did make a whole lot of sense. If I was pregnant, that would mean I was more than two months along. I hadn’t slept with anyone since Chess, and before that, it had been a very long time since I’d been with anyone. “How long has it been since that night we all went to the bar?”

“I looked at the calendar. You’re nine weeks pregnant.”

“Okay. That’s manageable. If that’s what this is, then I’ve got plenty of time to deal with . . . or get used to . . .” I leaned forward and gagged again. “Fuck. I can’t even think about it. I’ve got too much going on right now to have a baby. I didn’t plan on a pregnancy. I’ve almost got everything in order to get custody of Demiree. How is that fair to her? What am I going to tell Chess? I mean, what does that mean for the two of us? It was one night! He’s taking me to dinner tomorrow for our first date! How can a woman be pregnant before she’s even
