She laughed. “I’m checking next week. I think I’m just gonna go to the doctor and do it properly. I don’t think I could go buy a pregnancy test and all of that. It would make me too anxious because then you have to go to the doctor to make sure. So… I’m gonna go to the doctor right away.”
God… this was actually happening. When there was mention of doctors, it meant shit was getting real. She’d said this would be the month for us to start checking and maybe expecting. I still couldn’t believe it was me.
Us…
“I should go with you.” I nodded.
She ran her hand over my beard. “You don’t have to do that.”
“I want to. I want to be there the whole time. Even for the small stuff.” I meant it. Every last word.
“You really are the most amazing man, Gilly.” Her eyes sparkled like pure twilight. “Thank you, thank you for all of this. You and me, and our baby in the works.”
“You’re welcome, Abby, but you’re forgetting I want this too. All of it. You and me and our baby in the works.”
She leaned forward and kissed me with her warm, welcoming lips. It was the kind of kiss you wanted to last forever.
When we pulled apart, I opened my mouth to say something more about the baby, but the words faded from my mind when my gaze landed on Giselle standing on the bridge just ahead of us.
She was staring at me, right at me, and the look on her face was pure disapproval. Most people would have turned away when they’d been caught watching someone. She didn’t.
Six weeks had passed, and I hadn’t seen her in that whole time. I hadn’t cared because I was with Abby, and even if I weren’t, I had no plans to see her, and definitely not get back together.
I remembered when we were together, she’d always insisted that I had feelings for Abby, and I told her I didn’t feel for her the way she suspected.
It was a lie. Never felt like a lie at the time, but there was always a part of me that would question my response to her.
Well, here I was, right before her, with Abby on my lap talking about babies.
The look on Giselle’s face darkened. Even in this soft moonlight I saw it, and I got a bad feeling. A moment later she walked away, blending into the darkness of night.
She was the kind of woman who didn’t take no for an answer, and she always got what she wanted. She’d told me she wanted me back, and I’d said no. She saw I was with Abby and we looked serious. Wewereserious.
If it was one thing I knew about Giselle from way back when, it was that she was trouble.
I really hoped she didn’t cause the kind of trouble I knew she was capable of.

Could a person have too much sex?
Was that possible?
I thought it was within reason to have it as many times if you were trying for a baby.
But…
It wasn’t just the fact that we were trying for a baby.
It was us. I couldn’t get enough of the man, and I hated it with a fiery passion that I had to go to work this morning.
Dad called me in.
When I got a phone call from him and it was about work, it was never good. It didn’t happen often but often enough in the last few years for me to know I shouldn’t cross him.
