Chapter Eleven

Knock on the wall if you need me.

Joss held Brady’s note in her hand and read the words over and over again.

If only it were that simple.

She flopped onto her back and lay thinking so long the room brightened with early morning sun. Finally, she flipped the covers off her body, lifted her T-shirt, and stared down at her flat belly.

Pregnant. She’d always dreamed of having children of her own. But in those dreams, she’d never been a single parent.

Last night, Brady had totally covered her butt. Even though he’d been awkward and uncomfortable handling Claire, he’d still done a great job stepping in and helping out. But that in no way meant he’d be enthusiastic about having a baby of his own.

After all, he didn’t even want the baby’s mother.

On a sigh, Joss pushed herself out of bed. A strange sensation of vertigo made her head swim for a moment, but at least she wasn’t nauseous. She treated herself to a long shower, threw her hair into a ponytail, and got dressed.

Maybe she could get in to the doctor’s for a pregnancy test today. Even though she had a trio of 99.9-percent-accurate results telling her she was now eating for two, she didn’t even want to broach the subject with Brady until she’d gotten final confirmation from her doctor.

She made the call and got approval to go to the lab for the urine and blood tests, but would have to wait until Wednesday before she could see the doctor. Fine. She could wait. It wasn’t like she didn’t already know the answer.

In the kitchen, she stopped short as her brain tried to determine what was out of place. That was it. Nothing was out of place. The counters were clean. The dishes were washed.

Brady.

Her heart squeezed in her chest.

She chanced two pieces of toast for breakfast and reveled in her still-settled tummy.

Before she left for the lab, there was one thing she needed to do—she retrieved Brady’s note from her nightstand and wrote a quick note of her own on the back:

Thanks for all your help last night. I really appreciated it. ~J

There. Short. Sweet. To the point.

Outside, she found his truck gone and was glad for it. The last thing she was up for was another round with Brady—of fighting or anything else. She slipped the note into his mail slot and headed out to pee in a cup. Joy.

Afterward, she called Christina and asked her to come over. She didn’t want to say anything to Brady yet, but she sure as hell needed to get some of this off her chest before she exploded. Some serious girl time was in order.

An hour later, Christina arrived with sustenance in hand—a large pepperoni pizza and two pints of Ben & Jerry’s.

“You are my favorite person ever,” Joss said as she unburdened Christina of some of her load.

“Of course I am.”

They placed everything on the coffee table, and then retrieved drinks, plates, napkins, and the all-important spoons from the kitchen.
