When Indigo arrives in Cash’s flashy car, I nearly change my mind. How the hell are we going to keep this mission secret in that thing?
But I don’t have a choice. I need to know. Am I pregnant?
I get into the car and Virginia waves from the backseat. “Sorry. Indigo insisted.”
“You need all your besties with you for a secret mission,” Indigo says as she drives out of town.
I snort. “A secret mission? In this car?”
“If anyone asks, we’re getting manicures in White Bridge,” Indigo says instead of answering me.
I lift my hands. “What happens when we come back without pretty nails?”
“Oh, we’re getting manicures. I already made the appointment.”
“How do you know we have time? Maybe my ‘mission’ requires lots of time.”
Indigo glances over at me and winks. “Pretty sure it doesn’t.”
Virginia changes the conversation to books, and I breathe a sigh of relief. While they discuss books, I contemplate what I’m going to do. I’m not ready for another baby. I’m barely holding it together as it is. Being a single mom of two kids was not on my bingo card for this year.
You wouldn’t be a single mom.
I roll my eyes at my inner voice. How does she know Fender isn’t going to run as fast as he can away from me when he discovers I’m pregnant?
No. I’m not pregnant. It’s some kind of fluke.
Indigo pulls into a strip mall and parks in front of a drugstore.
“Do you want us to come in with you?”
Virginia groans. “Dylan will have a nursery built before we return if I’m seen buying a pregnancy test.”
There’s my confirmation. They know what’s happening.
“You can stay in the car.”
Indigo snatches my hand before I can get out. “No way. You’re not doing this alone.”
Relief courses through me at her words. I did all of it – the pregnancy test, the doctor visits, the birth – alone the first time. I don’t want to go through it alone again.
“We got you, bestie,” Indigo whispers before dropping my hand and opening the door.
When Virginia crawls out of the backseat, I try to stop her. “No. I don’t want you in trouble with Dylan.”
“I’m not letting you do this alone either.”
Tears well in my eyes. “You guys are the best.”
Indigo rolls her eyes. “Duh. I’ve been telling you how awesome I am for months now.”
I inhale a deep breath and straighten my spine before marching into the drugstore. I don’t bother pretending to browse. I march straight to the pregnancy tests.
“Which one should you buy?” Virginia asks.
I grab three different ones. “It’s always good to be certain.”
“Do you have a restroom?” Indigo asks as I check out.
