Chapter Eleven

Blake

The mother gasps. “She called me grandma to her child, Martin!”

His face turns to stone then pats my mother’s shoulder delicately, obviously doing it for appearance’s sake. Then I’m racing down a road after a blue truck with lights flashing in my face. I don’t know what that has to do with anything, but it must be important if my mind is evoking that scene at this moment.

“A blue truck. Who has one?”

Astrid exhales and closes her eyes. “I do. You used to work on it for me on Sundays. The last time you saw it, you were chasing me. You were always on my back about using one of the cruisers for work, but I wouldn’t because I like driving my truck.” So, she’s a sheriff or a deputy too. The inside of a janitor closet flashes behind my eyes.

What the hell does that mean?

“Stop, Astrid. That’s too much detail.” Dr. Ellis’ warning precedes Astrid opening her eyes slowly. I start to sink in them.

Malisa sniggers, “Not for this crisis, it isn’t too much.”

Astrid’s truck means a lot more than just liking driving it if she chooses to put unnecessary miles on it. I’ll even venture to say someone special gave it to her. People tend to treasure things when they’re connected to another heart, but whose? I don’t want to know. If she says it’s a gift from one of her lovers, and you can bet your ass that they’re all past lovers now, I’ll go ballistic.

“Chasing you? Why in God’s name would I do that?” I can come up with a reason or a hundred though.

She swallows, morose suddenly. “I was going back home after I told Malisa to tell you I was pregnant. It happened just today.”

Hallelujah! Astrid is pregnant with my son.

That only leaves a few thousand questions, like why was she going back home.

Unless, she’s not mine anymore.

Rage slaps me in the chest then drags its hooks downward. I quietly gag on the discomfort and struggle to ask, “We’re not together?”

Astrid forms a singular, tight fist of our unified hands. “We are now, and that’s all that matters.”

We’re together! Thank God!

I flop back on the pillows, with the picture of floating lavender and white balloons. Now, I know the colors that were chosen for Malisa’s and Apollo’s special day, and the only thing that benefits is the empty compartments in my head that are filling up with one fragment of data at a time. I never been happier to be hallucinating about latex that’s getting away.

“You were not with my son yesterday!” Ashley howls, completely freaking the hell out. “That is not his child!”

“How do you know that… Mother?” I stumble over the last word.

“She’s got eyes on you, Blake,” Astrid says straight-faced. “That’s how. And she knows we got back together today before Malisa and Apollo’s wedding. Did you get a snapshot of the kiss I gave him at the reception, Ashley? You’re probably pissed off that we’ve been together all day, too, huh? But you not as angry as you’re going to be.
