“Well, congratulations, you’re pregnant.”
I’m going to pass out. I start panicking when the doctor puts his hand on my shoulder. “Breathe, just breathe. We’re going to do an ultrasound to find out how far along you are.”
He has me get up on the bed and a nurse brings in a portable machine. “If we can’t see this way, it’s because you’re not far enough along.”
He moves the doppler over my stomach after putting some warm jelly on me and the sounds start up in the room. A swooshing noise rings clear. “That is your baby’s heartbeat,” he tells me.
Oh god, I’m really going to be a mother.
Before he can show me the screen and determine dates, Carson storms into the office. “What’s wrong, is everything okay?” he asks hurriedly.
I don’t know what to say, then the doctor clears his throat. “I take it you’re the father.”
“Yeah, I’m...wait, what? You’re having my baby?”
The doctor struggles with that news, that he’s my man, not my dad. And I have to hold back a laugh. “Sorry.”
“I just found out,” I tell Carson.
His eyes soften, and he comes up next to me. “This is the first time I’ve been part of this from the beginning.”
At those words, my heart melts just a little toward him.
Chapter Fifty-seven
Hangman
Pregnant. The doctorjust said she’s pregnant and about twelve weeks along. Was she going to hide this from me? Did she even want this? I know she said that she didn’t want kids but we’re here now. We leave the clinic and I follow her home letting the prospect get back to the clubhouse.
Justine and I have to talk, and I’m not leaving her until I get through to her that she’s mine and I’m her’s. For her, I’m changing. For her, I’ll be the man she needs me to be.
Once inside her house, I follow her into her bedroom. “We’re talking.”
“You’re right, we have to talk,” she says, sounding resigned.
“This changes things. I wanted to give you more time, but you’re not spending a day without me being here. I want to be part of this pregnancy every step of the way.”
