“Yes, baby.” I forced a smile. “I promise I’m okay.”
Nova rested her chin on Hustler’s shoulder as he carried her out. I held strong for my sweet girl to show her everything was okay. But Nova was no fool and had seen more than most kids her age had. I was bound to get a million questions later tonight when I tucked her into bed.
I hoped I had good news to brighten the rest of our day.
Once Hustler and Nova were gone and the door was shut, I wilted in Abe’s arms.
“Talk to me.” He lifted my chin.
“It’s ridiculous, but I’m freaking out about taking the test. I keep getting flashbacks of when I heard you and the club girl.”
“Fuck, baby.”
“My mind is conjuring all kinds of crap I know isn’t true.”
“You’re right. It isn’t true. Nothing and no one will ever come between us again. I would never do anything to hurt you or to lose you. Never.”
“I know. I trust you.”
“So, what started it?” He dropped a soft kiss on my lips. “Justine triggered you, didn’t she?”
“I don’t know. Probably. It started when I read the directions on the test box. Anxiety and doubt hit me out of nowhere.”
“Well, we won’t let it tear you down. Where’s the test? Let’s get this done.” He stood, and I unwrapped my legs from his waist.
“Under my pillow.”
“And don’t think about that chick. Christ, she’s not worth your time or effort.” He got the test, took my hand, and led me to the bathroom. I loved when he took charge. After years of having no one to depend on, it was wonderful to have someone take care of me.
“You don’t have to stay.” I blushed, unbuttoning my jeans. He’d never seen me pee before.
“I’m staying.” He locked the door. “Do you want me to turn my back? It’s not like you haven’t seen me take a piss.”
“True. I guess it’s different.” I smiled and squatted on the toilet, then took the stick out of the box.
“Why’s it different?”
“I guess I want to be a lady for you. It’s silly, I know.” I did my business, keeping the test tip in my urine stream just like the directions stated.
“It’s not silly. I think it’s adorable you want to be all prim and proper when I’ve seen what a dirty, badass bitch you can be in the bedroom.” His eyes darkened. “I can’t wait until we can go back home so I can fuck your brains out.”
I giggled, finishing up. “Me too.” I placed the test on a square of toilet paper. “Now we wait.” I washed my hands.
“For how long?”
“Three minutes or so.” I dried my hands, then went to Abe. He reeled me into his arms.
“Just remember, if it didn’t happen this time, it will another time. We won’t stop trying until you’re pregnant with my baby.” He leaned toward the test.
“Don’t peek.” I grabbed his face in my hands and went onto my tiptoes. His eyes remained fixated on the stick.
“Why not? Will the plus sign change or something?”
“Did you say plus sign?” Tears instantly blurred my vision.
“Yeah.” He looked at me. “Does that mean what I think it means?”
“Mhm.” My heart raced with excitement.
