I’m not sure how long we laid there, my head pressed into Trey’s shoulder as he held me close. But it couldn’t have been more than a half-hour. I think I dozed a bit. I do that a lot now that I’m pregnant.

“We should go see the pasture,” Trey murmurs against my hair. He rubs slow circles on my shoulder.

Moving really doesn’t sound like a good idea. But I wake fully from my doze, and sit up. Before I can go further, Trey sits up next to me and presses a quick kiss on my lips. Then he’s on his feet, searching the grass and blanket for all of our pieces of clothing. We dress quickly, and silently. But surprisingly, the silence doesn’t feel awkward. Not to me, at least.

Together, we fold up the big blanket and then head for the truck. Trey carries the blanket under one arm, and wraps the other around my shoulders while we walk. I place my hand in the small of his back and lean into him. He still smells amazing. Masculine and clean, yet somehow with a touch of the nature around us as well.

I get in the truck while Trey tosses the blanket inside the toolbox and the bed. Then he pulls the truck back out onto the road we were driving down before our very memorable stop.

We drive for less than ten minutes before Trey’s pulling back over again. This time, I actually see cattle. And fencing. Lots of fencing in the distance, too. The cattle and the fence line are a short walk from the truck, but not too far, no matter how weak in the knees I still am. I can make it.

Trey turns off the truck and sit and then sits there moment. He stares at the dash, and I start tapping my foot. I press my hand against my knee and stop tapping. Showing my nervousness isn’t likely to help.

“I’ll take care of you if you get pregnant, Jessa. I want you to know that,” he says. And then he turns to look at me. Excitement, not fear, laces his expression. “I just need you to know that. It would be my pleasure.”

Shock reverberates through me, twisting into an uncomfortable lump in my chest. We didn’t use protection, how could I not have thought about until now? I’d spent every adult year of my life making sure that kind of thing didn’t happen. Is it because I’m already pregnant? Or had I gotten so swept up in Trey that it just hadn’t occurred to me, even to my subconscious?

I just don’t know what to say. I can’t tell him part him I’m pregnant, not now. It just wouldn’t be fair to Clay. It’s only right he knows first.

Finally, I settle for a weak, “Thanks.”

He nods, eyes still on me, before tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. Then he gets out of the truck.

I climb down, too—again, watching for holes—before Trey can make it around the truck to help me.
