Payton: More than twice a day like we were?
Kaitlyn: Yes, it’s obviously not enough. So as soon as my period’s over, we’re starting again. Getting way ahead of my ovulation might secure your little swimmers are in there when I do ovulate.
Payton: Okay.
Kaitlyn: Also, I’m really gonna need you to stop wearing the briefs and switch to straight old-fashioned boxers.
Payton: Uhh.
Kaitlyn: I already ordered them for you.
Payton: And what’s that gonna do?
Kaitlyn: Be less restricting and give you super sperm.
Kaitlyn: Oh and you gotta eat Brazilian nuts until I’m knocked up. Allegedly, they help your little swimmers’ mobility and increase testosterone.
Payton: It’s only been five or six weeks, Kate.
Kaitlyn: Right, but each day is another one closer to my 31st birthday!
Payton: Are you still meeting me at the horse rescue at 1?
I notice the abrupt change in subject, but I’m happy for the reminder. I’m supposed to meet him in about fifteen minutes so we can make sure everything’s on track to get done in a couple of weeks.
Kaitlyn: Yep, that’s the plan.
Payton: Awesome! Your brothers are around, and they have wandering eyes anytime I get on my phone. See ya in a few.
Kaitlyn: Sounds good.
Instead of locking my phone, I make a list of things I haven’t tried yet, like eating the core of a pineapple when I’m ovulating or using a magic menstrual cup to keep the sperm inside longer after sex. One article talked about placing egg whites in my hoo-ha, but that’s where I’m drawing the line.
As soon as my mom walks in and stands next to my desk, I lock my phone and finish eating.
“How was it?” she asks, grabbing a bottle of water from my mini fridge.
“The best. Always love your cookin’. Kinda miss it,” I admit.
She smiles. “I miss you being home too. It’s taken some adjustin’. That’s for sure.”
“I’m just down the road,” I remind her.
“Oh, I know. I was just spoiled havin’ all the kids around, and now that the house is empty, it’s a daily reminder that we’re all gettin’ a little older and that my babies are grown up.”
“I’m sure Dad’s enjoyin’ the quiet, though.”
She nods. “He walks around naked ninety-nine percent of the time now. So if you come over, ring the doorbell first.”
“Oh God, the visual I just got.” I shiver, hoping I keep my food down after that.
Mom’s phone buzzes, and she walks off with a quick wave as she answers. I rinse out the plastic container, then check the time, knowing I need to leave now.
As soon as I arrive, I meet Payton inside the nearly finished structure.
“Wow, it’s so huge,” I say, walking around the space. Right now, it’s just an empty building, but it’s progressing.
“I can’t wait to see it once the stables and offices are built,” I say, visualizing where it will all go.
