I thought about my sister’s comments about my half siblings who wanted to get to know me.
“Are you really comfortable having me come to your doctor's appointment?”
She laughed softly. “Doctor's appointments are kind of boring and personal.”
“I don't have to come in the room.”
“It’s fine. I mean…” Her cheeks tinged with pink. “I don't—” she began and then paused. “I don't know how to do this.”
“We’re going to have to figure it out on the fly. We don't really have any choice.”
“No, I suppose not.”
We fell quiet when the server arrived to bring our check. After he left, Hallie looked up.
“Thank you,” she said softly.
“For what?” I slipped my credit card out.
She reached for her purse. “I'll pay half.”
“I'll get it tonight. You can get it next time if you insist.”
“Okay.”
“But what are you thanking me for?”
“You could have been mad when I came to find you and told you what happened. You might not want to have a baby, but you're being a really good sport about it.”
“Look, I'm mature enough to know birth control isn’t a guarantee. I also believe in being accountable. That's not the only reason I'm trying to be there for you, though. I'm really grateful you found me.”
