Noah

I lay in the dark, curled protectively around Lena, who had cried herself to sleep.

Neither of us had really discussed long term plans. I was focused with getting the biotech company up and running and turning a profit, and Lena was still emotionally fragile after the beating from her father. We tiptoed around discussions of the future.

We both knew our living arrangement was temporary, but it was easy and comfortable. Our sexual chemistry was off the charts, and ever since the first time, I had been very careful not to get her pregnant. Too little too late.

We were playing with fire. My place now looked like a couple lived there. Bras and stockings hung to dry in the shower. Little touches that were all Lena like flowers on the table and real food in the refrigerator were dead giveaways that I wasn’t alone.

We couldn’t keep pretending. If we did, one day this was all going to implode, and the fallout wouldn’t be pretty.

The red numbers on my bedside clock ticked away—01:32 , 02:47, 03:12, 04:59—and I lay there wide-eyed, trying to wrap my head around my impending fatherhood.

Beep-beep-beep.

Red eyed and sleepy, I felt Lena stretch in my arms, and that traitorous part of me twitched in response, telling me it wanted me to do more than just hold her.

She would welcome me. I knew she would. She always did. We fit together perfectly. At work we could finish each other’s sentences, know what the other was thinking, and build on our ideas, making them far better than they would have been alone. At home, it was the same; we c-o-existed seamlessly, living together like we had been doing it all our lives instead of just a few months. There was no intrusion, no fighting for space when she began to stay there. It just worked. Now the space reflected not just my, but her personality too. And in bed, we were dynamite. We matched each other perfectly.

Where was I going with this? I mean I had a freaking engagement party to another woman in two days, and there I was living and having a baby with Lena. My life was so screwed up.
