“Wow.”
“I’ve been a mess,” I said. “Things have been out of whack. Birth control. My period. You know…”
“Holy fuck, Hazel,” Hannah whispered. “This is real then. This is really real.”
“I’m pregnant.”
“Pregnant.”
“Pregnant.”
Hannah turned and held her hands out and leaned back. “Like… huge belly… pregnant…”
“I don’t need to hear that right now. Or see it.”
“Hazel… this isn’t like you.”
“I don’t need to hear that either right now.”
“What do I do? What do you want me to do? I’m scared for you. My greatest fear is getting pregnant. I’m tempted to go eat three months’ worth of birth control right now.”
“And what’s that going to do?”
“Probably have me end up in a hospital.”
“Can we just focus on me?”
“And your womb?”
“On what I do next.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean… Atlas is the father of my baby.”
“That is kind of hot to say and think about,” Hannah said. “Can you just tell me what it was like. What he was like? I mean, his hands are huge. His body is massive. Does… everything match?”
“Let’s just say… yes.”
Hannah threw her head back and groaned. “And you get him all you want now.”
“What?”
“Hazel, he’s the father of your baby. He’s yours now. For a little while.”
“Hannah, this is serious to me. What do I do? Just call him and tell him? What if he denies it?”
“Then you tell him he’s an idiot and prove it,” she said. “You didn’t sleep with anyone else. Right?”
“No. Just him. It’s only been him.”
“You know what you have to do, Hazel. That’s why you’re here. You don’t need me to tell you what to do. You just want me here as your friend. And I’m here.”
I took a deep breath. “So I’m supposed to call this asshole hockey player and tell him I’m having his baby?”
Hannah slowly nodded.
I slowly shut my eyes.
