Chapter Nineteen

Becca

“Hey, Mol, you home?” After knocking a few times, I tried the door and was surprised to find it opened.

“I’m up here,” she yelled.

I walked inside with a sinking feeling growing larger by the second. Something was going on—something was wrong.

Molly sat cross legged on the light pink tiled floor of the master bathroom. She didn’t look up.

“Is everything okay?” I asked.

“I don’t know.”

I sat down next to her, finally realizing she held something in her hand.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Yes.” She held out the piece of white plastic so I could see the two pink lines.

“Wow, congratulations. I didn’t know you guys were trying to get pregnant.”

“We weren’t.”

I took a moment to formulate a response. This was one of those situations where you had to say the right thing. “Oh. Well, congratulations anyway.”

“Ben’s going to freak out. I still can’t figure out how to tell him.”

“Did you just find out?”

“No. This is my third test.” She pulled out two more sticks from under the sink.

“Seriously? You didn’t trust the first two?”

She shrugged. “I wanted to be sure before I told Ben.”

“I’m sure he’ll be happy.”

“What if he’s not?”

“Why wouldn’t he be? You guys are married, and he has a good job. What’s the problem?”

“I’m not ready. What if he’s not either?”

“What do you mean you aren’t ready?”

“I haven’t even settled on a career yet. It’s too soon.”

“Then how’d it happen?” I tried to keep the bitterness out of my voice, but this was a really sensitive subject for me.

“I forgot a few pills last month.”

“Aren’t you the one who has an alarm set on your phone to remind you to take them?” I used to make fun of Molly about it in college. Every time, she’d go off on a tirade about being responsible. I didn’t need an alarm. I took my pill at the same time every day just in case.

“Not anymore. I turned off the alarm after Adam died, when it wasn’t such a big deal. I never worried as much with Ben, I guess.”

“Maybe it was your subconscious way of getting what you really wanted—a baby.”

“Please don’t go all psychology mumbo jumbo on me.”

I laughed. This had nothing to do with my psychology major in college. “I’m just saying it’s possible.”

“At least I haven’t really been drinking. I’ve had maybe one beer this month.”

“That’s a good thing.” I touched her hand to get her attention. “This is a good thing.”

“I hope you’re right. Do you really think Ben will be happy?”

“I don’t know Ben that well, but my bet is he will be. He’s so in love with you. Why wouldn’t he love knowing you’re having his baby?”

“I hope so. I just have to decide when to tell him.”

“Tonight. Why wait? I’ll do my own thing, give you some time.”

“No. That’s silly. We have plans.”

“Yeah, but telling Ben this news is important.”

“I know. But what are you going to do?”

“I noticed a Redbox at the gas station. I’ll pick a movie up.”

“Are you sure?”

“Positive.
