And maybe more than a question, I guess,” her voice trailing off dejectedly.
“Let’s start with the question,” I reply, studying her carefully.
She looks up at me, hesitating just momentarily. “Did…you, I mean after your vasectomy--did you go back to your doctor and have yourself tested?”
I swallow. “Do you mean my sperm count?”
She nods.
“I did not,” I lie, not taking my eyes from her. She visibly relaxes, and her eyes close for a moment. “Is there more?”
She nods again, and swallows nervously. “I’m afraid you might be angry with me,” she starts, “I mean, I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about this, but I can’t keep it from you any longer. You see…”
I don’t let her finish, because there’s no way I’m going to let her confess her indiscretion to me. “Are you pregnant, darling?” I ask, making sure she can hear the happiness in my voice. “Because if you are, I want you to know how pleased that I am about it.”
Her eyes lift to mine and she’s searching for the truth.
She finds it.
“Yes, Hayden, I am and I felt you…”
Again, I don’t let her finish, because this moment is hers and it won’t be spoiled. I pull her against me, stroking her hair gently, and nuzzling the top of her head. “You don’t know how happy you’ve made me, Jade,” I say softly to her.
“But what about Emily?” she asks quietly.
“What about her?”
“Will she give you a divorce, Hayden?”
Fuucckk…
The End
Seriously, this is THE END ! I mean, it’s called WTF? Series for a reason , ladies!

Prologue (Sins of September)
April 30, 2006
Fort Smith, Arkansas
“Tell Jesse not to bother tryin’ to come after me,” my mom says, as she slips on a pair of boots, cramming the rest of her belongings into an old military duffel bag. “Won’t do him no good. I ain’t livin’ like trash the rest of my life, you hear?”
“But Mama,” I whine, “What about me—what about Scout?”
“You’ll be fine until he gets home. Scout’s napping and she’s good for another two hours. He’ll be home by then—wanting his supper on the table. So fucking predictable.” She shakes her head as if disgusted.
I feel the tears well up in my eyes not understanding how Mama can just take off
