Chapter 5

“Let me tell him,” Dean had asked, his eyes pleading with me to understand.

I’d been disappointed, and perhaps he’d known I would be. Somehow, I’d envisioned a nice, delicious dinner over which we would tell him together. I hesitated, but only for a second. “All right.”

I was rewarded with the biggest smile I’d seen in a long time. “Thank you,” he’d said, pulling me to him for a long, lingering kiss that had gone on for close to half an hour.

It was only two days later, and I’d just waved goodbye to the two of them from the front porch before wrapping my arms around myself to ward against the chill and going back inside. It was an off day for me, and without the two of them here I honestly had no idea what to do with myself. I could clean, sure—when could the house not use a little picking up? I could curl up with a good book, or...

I honestly didn't know. The truth was, I was more than a little nervous over the idea of the two of them being alone. They hadn’t had many nice things to say to each other in a long time, and I highly doubted that what Dean had to tell him would make it any better.

I ran through all the things I could do in my mind but only one thing stuck out: sleep. I couldn’t deny that I was tired. I was pulling longer hours at Dairy Queen lately and running constantly. I still got up early every morning to see Morgan off to school and Dean off to work and the truth was, I was exhausted.

The idea of my warm, plush bed sounded so good I found myself wandering back to my bedroom without giving it another thought. Before too long I was back in between the sheets and closing my eyes. Even with the darkness behind my lids, I found I couldn't stop my mind from racing. What would Morgan say when Dean told him? Would he be upset? I was pretty sure he would be. After all, what teenage boy liked hearing that his mother was pregnant? Especially when things weren't exactly perfect at home.

With a sigh, I turned to the other side of the bed, but I didn’t find sleep any easier. I pulled the pillow out from under my head and flipped it, hoping that the cool side of the pillow would lull me to sleep. When that didn’t work, I’d nearly resigned myself to getting back up when a thought hit me. It was so outrageous for a person like me to even consider that I giggled aloud and then looked around at the empty room, feeling embarrassed. There was one thing that had always gotten me to sleep even when it was at its most elusive. Something I hadn't done in years, even in spite of the trouble Dean and I had been having.

I was normally the kind of girl who waited patiently, who didn't take matters into her own hands, who let the man take control.
