“I’ll take you,” Kyson offers.

“No, it’s fine.”

“She asked me, not you.” Alaska grins at him like she has won some super fantastic lottery prize.

“Fuck, you annoy me,” Kyson rumbles, and Zuko punches him for talking to Alaska that way.

I’m not sure why I don’t want Kyson to come, but I need to try doing things without him again.

“Okay, let’s go. The boys can finish putting that dining set together.”

Kyson gets up, cups the back of my head, and kisses my lips. “I want to go,” he whines.

“No.” I push him away playfully, then grab my things and follow Alaska to her car.

“Any reason you don’t want him to come?” she asks.

“He needs to breathe on his own for a bit.”

“Yeah, that doesn’t really happen with these men.” She chuckles. “They breathe for you.”

And I believe her knowing it is all or nothing with them.

They have always been that way with each other, so why would it be any different when they like someone? But then I remember Lilly and wonder why he’s different with me.

“And it’s okay to tell them to stop, just so you are aware.” Alaska looks at me as she slows down.

“It’s not that I want him to stop. I like having him there… It’s comforting. It’s just… I feel free for the first time in a long time, and I don’t want to rely on a man to feel that way.”

She nods in understanding. “Okay, yeah, I like the sound of that.” As we pull up to the doctor’s house, she asks, “Want me to come in?”

“Thanks, but I won’t be long,” I tell her.

I head inside, and the doctor greets me right away. “Hello, Kalilah. This should be a quick visit.” He shuts the door behind me. “Everything looks great, but there is one thing.”

“Yeah?” I ask hesitantly.

“You’re pregnant.”

I shake my head.

I can’t be.

“Nope, we use protection.”

We always use protection.

Except when…

Oh fuck! It must register on my face.

“It only takes one time,” is all he says. “I do have options for you.”

“That’s okay. Thanks anyway. I should go.” Doc nods and opens the door.

Alaska smiles as I get in the car. “That was fast. Everything good?”

I look down at my phone as Alaska starts the car, and I bring up my messages. Both of my parents have messaged me now. I haven’t replied to either of them.
