I lied. I lied to my man. Why? Because I didn’t want to get his hopes up, only to have them crushed. I have been abnormally tired, but I didn’t even register it yesterday, not until Cruz asked me if I felt okay. Then it hit me and hit me hard. Tired, stomach churning at different smells …

I am pregnant. I know it. I know my body.

This morning after Cruz left, I got up from bed and checked my birth control pills. I take them regularly, each pill missing correctly from its packaging. Then I thought back to my periods, and it hit me I haven’t had one in at least two months.

I knew I was busy with Cruz, Coop, and X, but I didn’t think I was busy enough not to notice my missed periods. That part pisses me off. I’m on that shit all the damn time, but obviously, I have been slipping.

I wanted to tell Cruz last night, but if I’m wrong, I don’t want to burst his bubble. He has been on my ass about getting married and starting to make babies. Getting hitched isn’t a big deal to me. I didn’t have dreams of dresses or grand wedding plans when I grew up. To me, it’s a piece of paper, and I don’t need it to tell me that Cruz is mine. I know he is. I also get where he’s coming from, though.

He wants me tied to him in every way possible. I just don’t see the rush. Now, if I’m pregnant, he will really be on my ass for that slip of paper, and I will do it no problem. I love him and my boy.

How will Cooper handle being a brother? Shit.

I shake my head just as the timer on my phone blares at me, telling me the test is ready. I look down and low and behold, a positive.

The first emotion I have flow through me is happiness, elation. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have this, have a real family and kids. I didn’t know what I would have, but before and during prison, I gave up on any chance of that. Then Cruz stepped in my life and gave me everything. Everything.

My smile widens as I touch my belly. A he or she is growing inside me. My heart warms to explosion. I thought it was completely full with Cruz and Cooper, but there is more room for this baby.

Another part of me is scared to death. I have a human growing inside of me. What if I fuck that up somehow? Shit.

I think back to the last two months. I have drunk—not a whole hell of a lot, but I have had alcohol. Oh, fuck. Did I hurt the baby? The pit of my belly falls to the floor. Oh, God, no.

I need to make a doctor’s appointment.

Part of me wants to call Cruz right now and tell him, but that would be seriously shitty of me.
