*****

She thought about telling him on the phone why she wanted him to come over, but she didn’t. Partly because the words wouldn’t form, but mostly because she had sick images of him running away, refusing to come over, discarding her completely, in her mind. Instead, she asked it casually. Yes, he said, he’d come by after practice.

Jocelyn spent the time studying, her head bent over the books. She’d thought she would be too distracted to get any proper work done, but she found that that wasn’t the case. The work actually helped. It distracted her from herself, from the life inside her belly, from the football star’s child inside her belly. The future receded and the past disappeared and for a few blessed hours it was just her and the books. Then her phone vibrated so loudly against her desk that she started. Zack was outside.

She buzzed him up, trying to keep her voice steady over the intercom. When he walked in, the smile on his face could’ve killed her. It was the same cocky smile that he always wore. Over this past month, she had scratched beneath the surface of that cocky smile. She had learned that he was kinder than she had first thought. She had learned that there was depth to him she hadn’t guessed at before. He truly didn’t know anything was wrong.

He made to kiss her, but she pulled away. The hurt in his face pained her, but she knew if she kissed him she wouldn’t be able to stop. She would lose herself in it, and it would only be harder to tell him afterward. “Please, sit down,” she said, turning her back and walking to the other end of the room.

When she turned back around, he was sitting on the couch, uncertainty writ plain across his face. He thinks I am going to break up with him, she knew. He thinks I am going to dump him. The sickly hilarious part is that after this he’s going to want to break up with me. There was a stool opposite the couch, across the coffee table. Jocelyn took it and looked her lover in the eyes.

She had rehearsed a speech about how much she liked him, how much she liked spending time with him, and how much fun she had had. She had muttered it over and over, even without realizing it, all afternoon. But now, with him standing before her, the speech seemed silly. There was no way to soften this blow. She took a deep breath, and let it out.

“I’m pregnant.”

At first he didn’t seem to hear the words. He cocked his head, like a man listening for a faraway sound, and then realization came over his face in a wave. His lips twitched into a smile which he seemed to force away. His face became calm. The only indication that something was wrong was the way he tapped his finger on the coffee table. He didn’t seem to realizes he was doing it.
