grabbed me and pulled me close, pressing his lips to mine. At first I was shocked, but then I lost control of myself and kissed him back, losing myself in the old familiar taste of him. My body started to come alive and our tongues tangled. I pulled him as close as I could, but it still wasn’t close enough. He consumed me, and I couldn’t stop myself from giving in and letting him have me.
The sound of voices coming from the waiting room snapped me back to reality, and I pushed him away. We were both panting, and I could see by the look on his face that his need was just as great as mine. But then I remembered Melissa, and I could see her pressed up against him in my mind. He had probably just kissed her goodbye a little while ago before leaving the ranch. Sadness and anger welled up inside of me again.
“Eric, I can’t do this. I can’t be the other woman. I don’t want to be anyone’s second choice. I understand that she was your first love and you still love her. I don’t want to get in your way.”
“Malia, you don’t understand. That’s not the way it is at all! I know you think you know what you saw, but you don’t have the whole story. Please just let me explain. I know you felt what I felt just now. Don’t do this. I’m begging you!”
“I just can’t, Eric. I’m sorry.” I turned and practically ran into my office, locking the door behind me. I got in just in time for the second wave of nausea to hit me, and I threw up for the second time that day. Tears ran down my face as my skin burned from his touch. I was falling apart, and I needed to keep it together, at least until I got home.
I peeked out the door about five minutes later, checking to make sure he wasn’t still out there. The exam room door was open, and I could see that it was empty. I made my way to the staff bathroom so I could splash some water on my face and brush my teeth quickly. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes were puffy from crying. I tried my best to make myself look presentable, Maybe I was getting my period and that’s why I felt so off.
When I went back to my office and looked at the calendar, trying to see if it was time for my period, I noticed that it had been six weeks since my last one. I’d had it two weeks before my accident. And I was never late.
I tried not to panic. I knew that going through a traumatic situation could mess with a woman’s cycle. The past month had been an emotional roller coaster. I was probably just late or would skip a month. It was no big deal.
But the sensible side of me knew that I needed to make sure. I had one more patient to see, so I took care of that, and when I convinced Jenna that I was staying late to do paperwork and she didn’t need to wait for me, I was finally alone in the office.
I grabbed one of the urine sample cups from the bag in the bathroom and peed just enough. I closed the top tight and set it on a towel. I washed my hands and made my way to the small lab room with the test strips. I picked out the correct one, dipped it into the cup of pee, and waited. Within seconds, I had my answer clear as day.
Pregnant.
Another wave of nausea hit me, and I lost the almost nonexistent contents of my stomach in the nearby bathroom.
This could not be happening. Hadn’t we been careful? The more I thought I about it, the more I realized that we had never been careful. There had been no condoms either time. I got caught up in the moment and let it happen. And now I had a tiny person inside of me that would tie me to Eric Langdon for the rest of my life.
It was just my luck that the man I got pregnant by was in love with another woman. And I knew if I told him I was pregnant, he would do the right thing and be with me. But I didn’t want a man who was only with me because of a baby. I didn’t want to see distance in his eyes and know that he was always thinking of another woman.
I also knew that the only right choice for me was to keep this baby. I certainly had
