“Like I’m supposed to believe that.” Jealousy streaked through me.
“Yes. You are. Let’s go.” He stood, pulled out a wad of bills and threw them on the table.
“I’m not finished.”
“We’ll get it to go.”
“Whether or not I’m pregnant isn’t going to change in the next half hour.”
“How can you be so calm? We might be parents.”
The people at the table next to us glanced over.
“I already am a parent. And it’s not your problem.”
“Did you really just refer to our child as a problem?”
“Sit down and eat or leave.” I ate half a taco in one bite.
He flagged the waiter down for to-go boxes. I made a silly face at Blake who tried to copy me.
Patrick snatched my plate up and dumped the contents into a box, doing the same with his.
“Hey. I’m still eating.”
“Eat it while we walk.” He loaded Blake up and put his favorite stuffed elephant in his hands.
He’ll be a great dad.

He was already to the door by the time I made it halfway across the restaurant.
“How can you be so casual about this?” he asked as we started down the sidewalk.
“I already know and there’s nothing to get worked up over.”
He stopped. “You blow a fuse over the littlest nothings. The biggest thing ever and you’re fucking calm.”
“Why are you freaking out?”
“Why aren’t you? And what kind of pregnancy test do I need to buy?”
“Are you taking it?” I tried and failed to keep from laughing.
“I didn’t want you to have to do it. In case you were embarrassed or something.”
“Why would I be embarrassed?”
“I don’t know.” He threw his hands in the air. “And you never answered my question.”
“All you do is ask me questions?”
“Have you been with anyone else?”
“Besides you? That once? No. I think I made it pretty clear how I felt about that.”
He bristled. “Crystal.”
