I walked into the practice to see Jake for our weekly appointment, and smiled at Cecilia. “Hi!”

Cecilia didn’t smile back. She got up and walked over to me, which she hadn’t ever done before. Maybe she needed me to fill out some forms. “How are you feeling?”

I thought for a moment. “Fine. I mean, like a whale, honestly, but also fine. I’m ready for these babies to get out of me.” I smiled.

Cecilia, again, didn’t smile back. “Are you really sure, then, that you need to come here every week?”

“What do you mean?” I was genuinely confused.

Cecilia softened a little. “I mean that I don’t know of a single other patient who’s in here every week during her pregnancy. Or who has her doctor attend her breathing classes with her. Dr. Dresden is a very busy man and I know he’s going out of his way for you—and I know why.”

My breath caught in my throat. Did she know about how I felt for Jake?

“It’s because you’re his best friend’s daughter,” Cecilia said.

I just barely managed to hold in my sigh of relief in time.

“But I worry that he’s neglecting his other patients and sacrificing his own down time,” Cecilia went on. She sounded sincere. “You seem like a good kid, but I had to say something.”

Guilt churned in my gut. I had been so happy to see Jake and spend time with him, I hadn’t thought about how that would affect his other patients, or how much of his life I was taking up. He must’ve been so annoyed with me.

“I’m sorry,” I said honestly. “I had no idea I was monopolizing his time like that.”

Cecilia gave me a smile, finally. It was a tiny one, but it seemed to be genuine. “I can see that. But now you know, and we can sort things out.”

I nodded, swallowing down my emotions. I had really cherished these months with Jake. Sometimes I would look at him and find him looking at me, and I could feel that crackle of tension between us again. But I had told him that we couldn’t anything about that tension, and I wasn’t going to go against that. It would hurt my father too much.

And Jake could never find out the truth about my pregnancy.

But even so, these months together had been lovely. He’d taken me to all of my breathing classes and talked me through them, holding my hand. When we’d done the position with his chest to my back, I had felt so held and safe. I had wanted to melt into his arms and beg him to kiss me. It had felt… right. It had felt right.

And all of our talks during my appointments and on our drives to and from breathing class—had felt so natural. I would prattle on about my simple little life, and I didn’t think it was anything exciting, but Jake really listened to me. He was genuinely interested, and he was happy to give advice on what sales pitches worked for him as a customer, or share his thoughts on baby supplies.
