too damn soon in our relationship. I love him with all my heart, and the more I think about it the more excited I start to get.
“Okay Amy, are we ready?”
I’m shaken out of my memory when I hear Hailee call my name. I look over at her, and her face changes when she looks at me.
“Amy, what’s wrong? I can tell by looking at you that something is really wrong. You look like you’re about to cry.” Damn her for knowing me so well, but that’s the type of friendship we have, we can communicate with our facial expressions.
“Hailee I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m screwed.” I can feel the tears falling down my face, and I don’t try to stop them. I’m so beyond confused.
“Okay, why don’t you start from the beginning? I have a feeling whatever is going on has something to do with your past, but I’m not fully aware of what that past really is.”
I take a deep breath. She’s right; I never have told her the full story. It makes me feel like a bad friend, but she had so much going on that time and I didn’t want to pile all my shit on her too.
I start telling her about my past, about my parents dying when I was ten, my marriage to Jeremy and the failed attempts at getting pregnant, the cheating, and meeting Lance. She sits and listens intently the whole time, only nodding her head, but not saying anything.
“Okay, two things. One, I’m so sorry about your parents. To have to witness something like that. I know I watched as my dad had his heart attack, but what you went through is so much different than mine. Two, your ex-husband was a douche bag, but what does that have to do with you and Lance? Are you breaking up with him? Because if you do I’m not sure it will work. That boy is so in love with you that he’d follow you around on his hands and knees, begging for you to come back.”
I shake my head. Well, I guess I better go ahead and say it, “I’m pregnant. We conceived the first time we had sex. It’s too soon for us to have a baby.” I can feel the tears starting to form in my eyes again.
“Amy, I’m pretty sure I said the same thing to you when I was pregnant. No one can say it’s too soon except you and Lance. If he loves you and you love him, then time is insignificant. Do you love Lance?”
I nod my head, there’s a lump in my throat that I can’t swallow so nodding will have to work.
“Okay, now let’s talk about how you’re going to tell him. I have an idea, but we’ll need Shawn’s help. Is it okay if he knows because I have something epic in mind that we can do?”
I nod my head. “Are you sure he won’t tell Lance?”
“I’m positive. Let’s go and start planning.”
We spent the next three hours planning how I will tell him, and I have to admit, it is going to be awesome.
On my drive home I couldn’t help but think that this is how my life was supposed to pan out. I was never supposed to have kids with Jeremy; my body was waiting for the right man, waiting for Lance to come along. I am getting more and more excited about it the more I thought about it. Lance is it for me, and when I pulled into the driveway and see his SUV there, I get butterflies in my stomach.
“Well Little Bit, you ready to go see Daddy? We aren’t telling him about you yet, but when we do he’s going to be so happy. Mommy knows it.” I rub my belly a few times then open my door. For the first time since my parents died, I’m feeling hopeful about my life.
Chapter 12
Lance
Ever since Amy came home from her girl’s day with Hailee she’s been acting weird; she’s quiet and distant. I’m beginning to lose my mind over it. Maybe she doesn’t want to be with me anymore and she doesn’t know how to tell me. I’ve tried asking Shawn about it, but he shrugs me off and tells me it’s probably nothing. He’s been acting weird too, and every time I bring up Amy’s name, he changes the subject. Being a detective, I know something is going on but I
