“I promise you that your father is the same man he always was. He’s a good strong man, the love of my life, and he was a good father to you.”
“I never said he wasn’t.”
“No, you haven’t said that, but he made a choice. A choice he has to live with now. Don’t turn your back on him.”
“I won’t.”
“Good. Because there may come a time, before this is all over, that you want to. And I’m telling you now, Brock. If you do that, it will kill him.”

After washing my hands, I return to Davey’s office and see that she’s still alone.
“So…good news?” she says.
“Depending on who you ask.” I walk in and show her the stick.
“So it’s unlikely you’re pregnant. Although I would definitely test again if your period does end up being late.”
“I was ovulating, Davey.”
“That’s no guarantee. Surely you know your biology, Rory.”
I plunk into the chair across from her desk. “Yes, I know.”
“Is this good news or bad news?”
“I’m not sure. But I’m a little…sad.”
“That’s natural, for someone who wants a baby.”
“Yeah. This relationship is still so new, though.”
“You’ll have plenty of other chances to be pregnant, Rory.”
“What if I can’t? What if this means I’m infertile?”
Davey smiles. “You’re not infertile, Rory.”
“You can’t tell that just by looking at me.”
“Okay, you’re right. Chances are you’re not infertile.”
