Chapter Twenty

Arriving back in their apartment, Pixie kicked off her shoes at the door.

“Your sister does the same thing.” Dathrow’s voice startled her.

“Uh?” Pixie asked confused, her mind still mulling over the prison planet and trying to understand the logistics.

“Your shoes.” Dathrow pointed to the floor where they were resting in the corner of the entry. “Poppy kicks hers off the minute she gets into their apartment as well. Is this a human custom?”

Pixie thought for a moment before answering. “A custom? Not really. Some people are weird about shoes on their carpet. I never really cared. It just was more of a habit than anything else. I hate shoes.” Pixie shrugged her shoulders. “When Poppy and I were little, our mom always had a hard time keeping shoes on us. We were barefoot most of the time and don’t even get me started on wearing socks.”

“What about socks?” Dathrow made a funny face, already stumped at what she was talking about.

“I hate socks. As in hate hate. I can’t stand the feel of them on my feet unless I’m wearing sneakers.” Pixie tilted her head the side, thinking for a moment. “I can’t even stand to share a bed with someone wearing them. If I feel them against my legs or feet, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.”

Dathrow interrupted her before she could go on. “No socks in bed. You need not say any more.”

“Sorry. It’s a pet peeve of mine so you might as well know it now. Socks in bed and people who whistle. I can’t stand either one.”

“I will bear that in mind,” Dathrow teased as he walked toward her to wrap his arms around her waist. “Shall we pick up where we left off before I had to leave this morning?”

Pixie tipped her head back to stare up at him. Giving him a sexy smile, she ran her hands up his chest to rest on his wide shoulders. “And where was that?”

“Right about here…” Dathrow whispered as he leaned in for a kiss.

“Wait!” Pixie blurted out, startling Dathrow to the point where he stepped back quickly.

“Sorry, I just remembered something.” Pixie reached into her bag that she’d slung over a hook by the door. Searching in it, she located the paper bag the doctors had given her. “We need to talk about something before this goes any further.”

Dathrow crossed his arms over his chest with a worried expression on his face. “Is everything all right?”

“I’m fine if that’s what you’re asking. We went to the docs today and they gave me some stuff I wanted to talk to you about.”

“What is it? Did they scan you? Are you pregnant?” Dathrow’s voice had risen in excitement, causing Pixie to doubt he would look at the option of condoms in a positive light.

“Let’s sit down and talk.” Pixie grabbed his hand and dragged him into the living room. Tossing the paper sack onto the table, she squeezed the hand she was holding.

“You are starting to worry me,” Dathrow said while glancing back and forth to the item she’d placed on the table.
