Now some other man had said yes.
Her message said we might have difficult decisions to make, but I knew she would never agree to end a pregnancy unless she had to.
Could I love a baby that wasn’t mine? The question had crossed my mind when the doctor mentioned me going for testing. I’d done some research on fertility clinics and sperm donation, and the ethical practicesaround them. I’d let myself think about that or adoption for a few days, but hadn’t thought about it since.
Fuck—what if she left me? What if Loïc really did steal her from me?
I lay on the sofa and drank until I was completely shitfaced, while scrolling through pictures on my phone.
Our wedding. My father, not long before he passed. The picture I had taken of the picture of my mother. The original was my favorite one of her, and it hung on my living room wall. I kept it on my phone to have it close.
My phone dinged, and the notification popped up.
My heart stopped.
[Nymph] Good morning, gorgeous husband!
[Me] How are you feeling?
[Nymph] A bit sleepy, but okay. How are you?
[Me] Don’t worry about me. Are you feeling sick at all?
I would do anything to take back all my hesitation over the past few years. Hell, if she wasn’t pregnant, I would fly to Prague tonight and not leave until I’d done everything I could to plant my seed in her belly instead of his.
[Nymph] Why would I be feeling sick?
[Me] The conversation we had a few hours ago??
I scrolled up to find her side of that conversation deleted.
[Nymph] I didn’t send you any messages? Maybe that was a conversation you had with one of your mistresses? lol
A rush of cold anger washed through me.
[Me] Is he there?
[Nymph] Loïc? He’s gone now, but he was here yesterday. He showed up when I was on my way to get my birth control shot, then we went out for ice cream, ate some takeout at my place,ran lines, and then watched a movie until I fell asleep on the sofa. I didn’t want to bother you because I knew you were in meetings all day
Her birth control shot.
Not pregnant.
I growled, so angry I wasn’t sure what to do with myself, so I started pacing again.
[Me] Does he have the code for your phone?
[Nymph] Why? I haven’t given it to him, but he seems to get into anything he wants
Yeah, like into my wife over and over again. Fucking bastard.
[Me] Your trip to the clinic ended up on entertainment news here last night
[Nymph] It did? Ugh. Why?? Who cares about a medical appointment?
[Me] Everyone thinks you’re having an affair with him now, and that you’re trying to have his baby
[Nymph] Oh my god. He showed up unexpectedly and came with me. I was going to be late and he tried to make me later
