Chapter 14

Six weeks later

“Oh my god, this can’t be happening. Hand me another one.”

“Is that one positive as well?”

“Yes, now just hand me another one,” I snap, impatiently.

“Alright, alright,” Jenn hands me another test to pee on. I set it on the window ledge next to the others and stare, unseeing, at the four positive tests. “Jenn, look at the instructions. There’s got to be something in there about a false positive or something, right?”

“Umm, just let me check, HcG, morning, negative, false positive,” she mumbles as she scans the page. “Yes! There’s a false positive, just let me read it.” My knee jigs nervously while she reads. “Okay, it says there’s a possibility of a false positive and then there’s a bunch of reasons listing why it may happen. It says the best thing to do is make an appointment with your doctor.”

“Okay, I need to do that, like now.” I reach over and grab my phone, dialing the number while still sitting on the toilet. I’m so panicked, I can’t think straight, or rationally. I’m scared and I’m nervous. The tests have to be wrong. They have to be. There’s no way I could be pregnant.

The poor receptionist takes pity on me, no doubt sensing the panic in my voice. She schedules me an emergency appointment for the morning.

I gather all the tests and shove them in my handbag. I’m not sure if the doctor will want them or not, but I’ll take them along to my appointment anyways.

“I better go, Lace. Switch is due home soon and I want to show him how much I missed him,” Jenn winks.

“Okay. Thank you, for everything.”

“No probs. Do you want me to come to your appointment, or will you tell Roam tonight and take him along?”

“Oh, no! I’m not telling Roam. I’m one hundred percent sure it’s a false positive. I don’t want to scare him off,” I laugh, but really I’m petrified.

What if I am pregnant and Roam leaves me?

“I think you’re in denial,” Jenn chirps in a sing-song voice. Then she says in her serious tone, “Roam is a great dad to Jasper, what makes you think he wouldn’t be a great dad to your baby?”

“There is no baby, Jenn,” I say sternly.

“Okay, miss know-it-all. I’ll pick you up in the morning.” She kisses my cheek and then she’s gone.

Five minutes later, I hear the roar of Roam’s Harley pipes. I listen as he shuts down the engine, then I hear his heavy booted feet hitting the path as he makes his way toward the house.

“Hey, sugar,” he pulls me into his arms and kisses me passionately.

“Evening, handsome,” I smile, when his lips leave mine.

“Somethin’ smells good,” he says, sniffing the air.

“Uh-huh,” I nod, “I made a chocolate cake today.”

“What’s the celebration?”

“My birthday,” I say, softly.

“What?”

“It’s my birthday, I’m twenty four today.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Well, because I don’t like to make a big deal of it, but I always make a chocolate cake on my birthday because it’s what my mom used to do,” I explain.
