The orderly looks in my direction. “I heard something about this. This is your girl?”
I don’t wait for him to answer before I sit in the wheelchair. “I’m just the baby mama.”
Damon shakes his head at me with a grin because, though I don’t know what exactly we are, we both know we’re more than that to each other. I just let the man eat me while full term. That’s not baby mama territory.
The orderly wheels me down the hallway while asking Damon questions about the upcoming season. “Think Rice’s arm can handle another year? And what about Cavanaugh? Now that he’s engaged, rumors are he’s lost his appetite for the win.”
“They’ll both do great,” Damon says.
“Adeline Morgan,” I say when we reach the nurses’ station.
A nurse walks around the counter. “Contractions?”
“Not terrible yet, and not really close together,” I say.
“Has your water broken?”
“Oh, yeah,” Damon answers for me, and we both laugh.
I wonder what these people must think.
The nurse looks at the orderly. “Let’s get her up to labor and delivery. I’ll call to let them know you’re on your way.”
“Thank you.”
We move to wheel away, but she pushes a piece of paper and pen toward Damon. “Oh, Mr. Siska, could I bother you?”
I huff.
“Not at all.” He scribbles his signature. “Have a great night.”
“Good luck. Thank you.”
Can’t anyone see I’m having a baby here?
The nurse pats my arm. “You’re beautiful, don’t listen to those trolls online.” She winks, and her gaze shifts to the orderly’s. “Take her up, Jacob.”
“Oh, she’s so sweet,” I say when we’re in the elevator.
Damon steps in with us. “Really? Because when she asked for my autograph, you looked like you wanted to scratch her eyes out.”
Labor and delivery is where it’s at. The only downside is that they’ll only let me eat ice chips.
“Bet you’re wondering right now whether you should have gone for the pizza instead of the orgasm.” Damon sits in a chair with a magazine that the orderly bought him from the gift shop. Of course Damon paid him back, but I wanted to ask: how about the woman with the baby inside her trying to get out?
“The orgasm was worth it, and if it spurred this little one to come out, it’s all worth it.”
“You make it sound like it was a sacrifice?” He lifts his gaze from the magazine. “Did I disappoint?”
I shake my head, my cheeks feeling hot again. “Of course not. I just meant letting you see me like that.” I look around. “Naked,” I whisper.
“I’ve seen you naked before,” he whispers back.
“Not nine months pregnant,” I whisper.
He shrugs. “It was sexy. You should own it. But if I’m going to be presentable, I need to think of something else.” He stares between his legs.
“You’re an ego inflator, thank you. And I’m sorry you didn’t get yours.” I bite my lip.
