I rolled my eyes.
“What about that guy you were with last time I called you? Have you asked him what he thinks?”
“He’s the one who helped me whittle it down. I’d still be buried in donor profiles if it weren’t for him.”
“And he thinks you should go through with it?”
“Of course,” I said, my brows knitting. “Why wouldn’t he?”
“I don’t know. With all the time you’ve been spending together, I just thought…”
“What?”
“That maybe he wanted the job.”
“He’s just a friend.”
“A friend you’ve been sleeping with recreationally.”
“I never said I was sleeping with him.”
“I’m your sister, Maeve. I can tell when you’re getting laid.”
I swallowed. Could other people tell? “He’s a happy bachelor,” I insisted. “We’re just having fun until my life changes forever.”
“Are you going to stop seeing him then? Once you get pregnant and moody and entitled?”
I scowled at her. “So glad you’re looking forward to this adventure as much as I am.”
“I can’t believe the counselor didn’t think to ask how your fuck buddy feels about you carrying someone else’s baby.”
“Well she didn’t,” I said, scolding her with my eyes. “But if she had, I would’ve told her Finn’s been supportive from the start and knows how much I want this.”
“And what does he want?”
I thought of how content Finn looked when he was drawing and playing music and…buried inside me. “I assume he wants to keep doing what he’s doing.”
“Right.”
I sensed a hint of judgment in her voice that irked me. “This has nothing to do with him,” I assured her. “Plus, I already made the mistake of putting my dreams on hold for a man who didn’t want the same things as me, remember? I’m not going to do it again.”
"Did you invite him to James’s next week?” she asked. “I’d love to meet the guy who saved me from having to review your top twenty baby daddies.”
“I invited him, but I don’t know if he can come yet. In the meantime, will you think about whether you’d rather be an aunt to Daniel Jr. or John Jr.?”
“Sure,” she said, forcing a shallow smile. “Though I have to be honest. I’m finding this whole thing a bit nerve wracking.”
