“What?” she shrieked, ripping her sunglasses off to stare at me. “How did that happen?”
“How do you think, Darcy?” I laughed.
“I mean you guys weren’t being careful, using something?”
“Most of the time,” I replied. “Sometimes we just kind of got carried away. I guess we thought the odds were on our side.”
“You don’t seem very flipped-out about it.”
“I’m not,” I replied, rubbing some sunscreen on my face.
“So, you’re not worried that Taz will be upset?”
“I guess it’s like this, Darcy. If Taz is upset then he’s not the Taz that I know and love. I may not always be the best at judging people, case in point: Kyzer Shitfield, but I feel pretty good about knowing Taz’s character.”
“So, tell me, how are you going to give him the good news?”
“Well, I’ve been thinking about that. I’m thinking about making a nice, romantic dinner for us. Then saying something about how much we love one another.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Darcy said, literally on the edge of her chaise hanging on my every word.
“And then asking what he thought about our love plus one.”
“Love plus one, hmm, I like that, Linds. I think it’s perfect. So, when are you going to tell him?”
“Well, now that you know, I suppose tonight when he gets home. I know you can’t keep a damn thing from Darin. So, do me a favor?”
“Of course, what?”
“Keep your pie-hole shut until at least tomorrow, okay?”
“You got it.”
“And if Taz chooses to tell Darin in the next day or two, tell him to please act surprised?”
“Absolutely,” she said, grinning.
“Thank you.”
“So, when is your due date?”
“December 18th.”
“I’m so excited,” she said, giggling. “Can I tell Jill?”
“Have you even talked to Jill?”
“Yeah, we keep in touch. You know she’s engaged to Gabe, right?”
“Yeah, have they set a date yet?”
“Next summer. She’s moved in with him. You’re taking the rest of your schooling on-line. Sure is lonely around the old place.”
“For crying out loud, Darcy, why don’t you finish your degree on line? I mean, really, you’d be closer to Darin.”
“I’m thinking about it,” she replied. “It’s just a little harder to bribe male professors when you’re not smack, dab in front of them with a push-up bra and low cut sweater on.”
“Or you could just opt to do your assignments on time and study for your tests.”
