Tenley
Thanks!
Even though I knew the odds of this happening, that was literally mfw my bil figured out why I couldn’t stop barfing in court all morning. *grinning face with sweat emoji*
I gulp audibly at her mention of Blake. And then my stomach flutters again once I remind myself that he and I also engaged in a bit of some potentially pregnancy-inducing acts on Tenley’s wedding night. (Okay, it was more than a bit. The more I remember since then, the more fodder I have for writing my own spicy romance memoir.)
My heart rate quickens as I scan the calendar on my desk and count the days since my last period.
Holy moly.I’m almost a week late.
“Ms. Reed, are you okay?” I hear one of my students calling out from her seat.
At some point, I must have let my forehead drop to my desk and stopped responding to the rest of the class. My chest heaves as I struggle to stop hyperventilating.
“I’m fine,” I lie, my voice cracking.
Then smelly-jacket kid, Myles, returns to place his paper on my desk, his sleeve bumping my elbow and stirring up that stale, musty scent again.
And that’s how I end up hurling my cookies in a trash can in front of my Honors English II class.
One of the students is kind enough to let the office know over the intercom that I’m sick, and the principal comes in to give me a minute to collect myself in the restroom. At least JD is out for the hearing today, otherwise he’d have been the one showing up to relieve me in his new role as the assistant principal.
I stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror for a second, willing myself to handle this situation like the reasonable adult that I am. It’s probably just a coincidence that I feel sick today. Or this could simply be a fun, new PMS symptom. There’s no use stressing until I know for sure, right?
Right.
I take a deep breath and resolve to continue my day, texting Tenley back on my way out of the bathroom.
Loren
Yeah, I’m pretty sure any of us could have predicted this one. ;)
How excited is your husband?
Tenley
Oh man. He’s unbearably giddy, though I’m not sure whether he’s more pumped about having a baby or getting to prove to the football team that he finally got into my pants.
It’s borderline annoying and absolutely adorable at the same time.
Loren
I think that’s the most accurate description of JD I’ve ever heard. *face with tears of joy emoji*
So you really didn’t know until getting sick in court earlier today?
Tenley
Yeah, I guess I’ve been ironically ignoring the symptoms. But once I vomited and fainted in the judge’s chambers, I realized the sore boobs and misty eyes weren’t just PMS. Then I got a bfp as soon as I grabbed a test at work.
Loren
BFP?
Tenley
Big Fat Positive.
