Chapter 13

After the appointment, Johnny followed me to the townhouse.

Even though I was still a little goopy from the appointment, I figured it was the perfect time to work on what the doctor said we could do and get to screwing.

I was ready to jump his bones when we entered the townhouse, but he reached into his pocket and pulled out his vibrating phone. He looked down at it then as he closed the door behind him. “Um. It’s my mom with a FaceTime call.”

“Why is your mom FaceTiming you right now?” I asked.

“Because I may have texted her to do it when she had a chance. Thought it might be a good time to tell her, so she doesn’t have to find out from TNC or Facebook or something,” Johnny half muttered.

I sucked in a deep breath. “Um. Okay. I guess let’s answer.”

Johnny followed me to the couch and swiped to unlock the screen and answer the call.

A middle-aged woman with dark blond hair, short and sort of spiky but not as short and spiky as Johnny’s—more like the “I want to speak to a manager” mom cut—appeared on the screen. Even though she was older and female, I could see the similarities to Johnny in the dimpled chin and dark green eyes, but the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth hinted at a permanent scowl that threw all the other similarities out the window.

“Johnny! You answered, and you’re okay! You gave me a heart attack when you said you wanted to FaceTime. Last time you did that was after the games, which, of course, was a good thing, but before that was when Scotty dislocated your shoulder at practice and you weren’t sure you’d be able to compete.”

Okay, now the rambling similarities sounded familiar.

“Hey, Mom. No, don’t worry; no one pulled my arm out of the socket or anything like that.”

Johnny’s mom put her hand on her chest. “Oh, thank goodness. Way to give your mom a heart attack. Where are you anyway? That doesn’t look like the pool or your apartment.”

Johnny smiled, but it was forced, not like the usual one he wore. “Very perceptive, Mom. I’m actually at my girlfriend’s place. Here, meet Sofie,” he said, angling the phone toward me.

I didn’t know what to say or do, so I just did a little wave, forcing a very toothy smile.

“Girlfriend? You FaceTimed me to tell me about your new girlfriend? Well, I guess this is one way of introducing us. Hello, Sofie, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Michelle, Johnny’s mother.”

“Hi, uh, Mrs. Laughlin. Or Michelle. Or whatever I’m supposed to call you,” I squeaked.

“How about Grandma or Gigi? Those sound like good ones? Maybe even Mimi?” Johnny asked, angling the camera so we were both on the screen.

Michelle’s eyes widened. “What?”

Johnny held up the ultrasound pictures that had somehow ended up on the couch next to him. “Surprise! Sofie and I are pregnant. You’re looking at the future Olympic backstroker in either women’s or men’s relay.
