I literally woke up one morning with a pregnant belly.
Not a baby bump either.
A belly.
A belly that Hannah loved to touch, snuggle, and talk to.
“We’re going to have so much fun,” she said to my stomach. “I’m going to spoil you. I’m going to teach you how to get into trouble and not get caught. It’s going to be awesome. Anything your mother says no to, you find me.”
“Done yet?” I asked.
“Yup,” Hannah said.
She kissed my stomach and stood up.
“Thanks for your help with that trash bag.”
“Want me to spend the night?”
“No. I’m fine. I promise. I’m going to take a shower and get some sleep. I have to go see the doctor in the morning.”
“Just a regular checkup thing?”
I nodded.
“Want me to come?” Hannah offered.
“Thank you. But I’m good.”
“Okay. I mean I shouldn’t be there. But you shouldn’t be alone. Know what I’m saying?”
“Goodbye, Hannah,” I said. “Thanks again.”
She laughed and shook her head.
As she walked from the kitchen to the front door, she called out, “As stubborn as when I met her and demanded I give her the unicorn pencil.”
“Hey, I saw that pencil first!” I yelled. “You were the one looking at the zebra pencil!”
Hannah shut the door.
I made sure to lock up, then I went upstairs.
I turned on the television in my room.
Of all things to see…
Hockey.
The Sola Empire.
Right there on my screen, perfectly centered, Atlas.
Sitting in the penalty box (shocker), chewing on his mouthguard, looking as pissed off as ever.
“Looking as sexy as ever too,” I muttered.
I quickly turned the television off.
