"Thank you. I really appreciate you doing this for me."
"You should know by now that I'd do just about anything for you, Kate."
"Motherfucker!" I yell when I see blood.
My period would be late and playing games with me.
Even though I had a negative test a few days ago, I was holding on to hope that it was too early to test and I could maybe still be pregnant.
Now I know I'm not.
The mindfuck my head has gone through isn't something I was prepared for, and it's only been a month.
Once I'm done in the bathroom, I text Payton to let him know we'll be trying again in ten to fourteen days. Which means I'll be taking more ovulation tests as soon as my period’s over.
Not that having sex with Payton is a chore—it's the opposite, actually—but the reality that I might not be able to get pregnant consumes me.
If we can't, I'll have to see a specialist or get tests done, and then I might get news I don't want to hear.
Payton: Guess I better think of some better excuses before Knox fires my ass.
I chuckle, knowing he's trying to make me laugh.
Kaitlyn: Just tell him you have explosive diarrhea. He can't fire you for that!
Payton: I'd rather not. He'd find a way to harass me about it.
Kaitlyn: Guess we'll have to meet somewhere closer for a quickie, then!
Payton: As long as you can keep it down.
He sends a winky face, and my cheeks heat. I can't help it. He hits just in the right spot over and over, sending me over the edge every damn time. The man has skills.
After my lunch break, I head back to the training facility and chat with my parents. I'm working with Malice still, who's been extra stubborn and salty lately. Perhaps she's mirroring her mood to match mine.
When I get to my desk, there's a box with my name on it. My dad likes to play little pranks on me, so I'm wary about whether I should open it or not.
Curiosity gets the best of me, and I rip off the tape, cautiously opening it in case a flying snake shoots out at me. Instead, I see a bottle of prenatal vitamins.
There's a Post-it note attached.
I read these are good to take while conceiving and searched for the best brand and flavor. Take two a day after breakfast. And drink lots of water! Don't need my pain in the ass BM getting dehydrated.
His sweet and thoughtful gesture has me grinning like a fool, even while calling me names. Since I usually grab breakfast at the B&B or eat a snack a couple of hours later, having these here will remind me to take them. As long as I can keep them hidden for a while. Knowing he wants this baby as much as I do makes it even more special.
Kaitlyn: Thanks for the vitamins...if I don't get pregnant, we're suing.
Payton: I don't think it works that way. But you're welcome.
Kaitlyn: Meet at the B&B for dinner?
He wasn't able to break away for lunch, so I went home and warmed up some leftovers. I don't think either of us will be up for cooking tonight since we need to go grocery shopping.
Payton: Sure will, around 6.
Kaitlyn: Okay, see ya then, BD!
Since I just ate, I open the bottle and take out two of the gummies. They actually do taste decent.
