She hesitates for only a moment. “I do.”
“Then go home and think about it. You said you have to let the clinic know Monday, right?” She nods. “Well, take the day and think about it. If you’re not comfortable with it, then go about your original plan. But if you’re interested in my super amazing sperm, then it’s here, ready to go.”
Lexi’s laughter fills the living room and she gives me a smile. A big, genuine, makes my heart leap in my chest smile. “I’ll think about it,” she confirms before heading towards the door. Honestly, that’s all I can ask for. At least she didn’t run from the apartment screaming, right?
She opens the door and steps into the hall. “I can’t believe I’m actually considering this,” she mumbles before turning to face me.
“It’s the perfect arrangement. You get the baby you’ve always dreamed about.”
“And you get to sleep with me,” she mumbles.
“It’s inevitable, Firecracker. I’m just giving you your dream along with mine.”
She doesn’t say anything, but instead heads to her apartment. She has a lot to consider, and I have no clue which way she’s leaning.
Last night after she told me she wanted a baby and that her soon-to-be ex-husband stripped that away from her, it got me thinking. The longing mixed with hurt in her eyes was almost too much to bear. Shit, I almost took her right then and tried to knock her up. But I’d never do that to a woman who’s only half conscious. When I’m with any woman, she’s one hundred percent alert and coherent.
And when I’m finally with Lexi, it’ll be because she’s begging me to take her.
My life hasn’t been my own since even before I left Westville. My legs are chained and a ghost walks with me, but I’m determined to make it better. I’m determined to fix the mistakes of one I love and right the wrongs of the one I despise.
I’m finally taking control of my life.
No, maybe it’s not the best time to bring a baby into the family. I’m surrounded by drama and am working two jobs with little or nothing to show for it. This is different than the way I wanted to help my mom fix her mess. That was out of necessity. This is for me. I thought about it from every direction last night, but kept coming back to one thing: I want to help her, and the thought of her with some other dick makes me feel like I’m having a stroke. As I tossed and turned on the bottom bunk of my brothers’ bed, the more this idea took shape and I realized I wanted something else too.
A baby.
