Heavy Uncertainty

Kade

The sky is overcast. Grey clouds are looming over Reno, growing darker by the hour. I’m not bothered by them. Nothing seems to be able to dampen my mood at the moment.

It’s been over two weeks since I decided to stay and help Jules out and I’ve been surprisingly happy. Work is fun and Jules is…

I glance at her, sitting in the passenger seat of Keith’s pickup and squeezing her hands together. We’re heading to the hospital so she can get an ultrasound. The doctor recommended it when they met. Cassidy took her to that appointment. Jules was so nervous when they left that I ended up pacing around the bar, my list of jobs forgotten.

She returned with a timid smile though, and Cassidy relayed a bunch of details while we ate lunch together. Jules and the baby are both healthy.

Apparently this ultrasound today is just standard procedure to check on the baby’s vital organs. Last night, Cassidy asked me if I could take Jules to the hospital. I kind of didn’t know how to reply at first, but I promised I’d help Jules out any way I could and said yes before I thought too much about it. Cassidy and Keith are out of town today. I’ve borrowed Keith’s truck, since Jules doesn’t do motorcycles, and I’m trying to quell her nervous twitching with some upbeat country music. I don’t think it’s really working.

Reaching across, I gently squeeze her hands. “It’s going to be okay. It’s just an ultrasound.”

“I know.” Her voice always goes so soft and tiny when she’s stressing.

I’d love to know what she’s thinking. The doctor told her they can probably determine the sex of the baby today. Maybe she’s wondering about whether to find out or not. I nearly ask her but as we catch sight of the hospital, her entire body tenses.

“So, I’m thinking of having dinner at Skate Home tonight, before I walk you home.” I distract her. “What are you gonna cook me?”

Jules glances at me and blinks a couple of times. “It’s your day off. You don’t want to eat there.”

“Yeah, I do. Your food’s the best. I’d eat it every night of the week if I could.” I grin, loving the way her cheeks tint red whenever I give her a compliment.

“So what’s on the menu tonight?” I slow the truck and turn into the parking lot.

Jules’ eyes dart to the large white building and then back to me. “Um…”

“Please say ambrosia pie.” I wink.

She smiles and tucks her hair behind her ear. “Of course. That will definitely be on the menu.”

“I knew it’d be a crowd favorite.”

“I still can’t believe how popular it is.” She shakes her head.

“You’ve tasted it, right?”

She giggles. “It’s different when you’ve cooked it yourself.”

“No, you just suck at taking a compliment.”

Her lips twitch as she dips her head and starts picking a loose thread on the edge of her jeans.

I park the truck as close to the entrance as I can. Jules takes her time getting out, nervously hovering by the bumper.
