in bed. He claimed he had a headache so he showered and went right to bed. I told him I wanted to check my emails and grabbed my tablet and came down into my office. Hang on let me go check," Macy said and set her tablet down.
    Will waited and Macy came back smiling big. "Okay, he's asleep in bed. He fell asleep with the TV on. I thought I heard something and I wondered if he were talking to Jenna," she said.
    "I'm glad you're here," Will said smiling.
    "Jenna?"
    "She's in the tub. Exhausted," Will said and made a motion with his hand to his forehead making light of the situation.
    "So should we talk about what happened with us tonight?" Macy asked.
    Will shrugged. "It happened. It wouldn't have happened if your husband and my wife were behaving. They're not and I'm almost to the point that I don't care. You know what I mean?" Will asked with a wink to the web cam.
    Macy blushed. "I do," she whispered. "So the question remains, where do we go from here?"
    "That, my dear, is the question of the century. I suppose we wait and see the implosion of our collective marriages, and then we pick up the pieces."

Chapter Sixteen
    Jenna stared hard at the test results in her hand. Pregnant . She strained to remember the last time she and Will slept together and it had been so long she couldn't even pinpoint it. She had kept him satisfied with hand jobs here and there but they hadn't connected in many cycles. She swallowed hard.
    She sent Darnell an urgent text. Something happened. We need to talk NOW. I'll be there in a few...
    On the way to work she went over different scenarios about how she'd tell Darnell. Her mind threw questions at her one after the other. Even if she did get Will to sleep with her real quick the baby would obviously look like they came from a black father. She shook her head, there's no way to escape this.
    She sailed past the receptionist giving her a cursory smile and nod as she rushed on down the hall and hoped Darnell had made it in already. She needed to tell him. He came rushing around the corner.
    "Jenna? Are you okay? I got your message," Darnell said and Jenna rushed into her office and looked at the door. Darnell shut it and locked it.
    Jenna fished around in her purse and produced the test. After thrusting it in Darnell's hands she said, "You're the only man I've been with in months. I haven't slept with Will at all since you and I got together, except maybe once in the very beginning. I've had several cycles since then, so there is no mistaking this." Her eyes landed on Darnell as he took in the test and the information she just spewed at him.
    "This is, you're uh," Darnell tried to say but the words escaped him.
    "I guess we need to have a meeting with Will and Macy and come clean. I mean, I can't pull this off as Will's baby. You're certainly darker skinned," Jenna said with a nervous laugh.
    "Well, let me ask you Jenna, are you happy about it?"
    Jenna looked up at Darnell. "Happy? I just got caught having an affair on my husband. We weren't trying to get pregnant and my lover made me pregnant. My lover is also a married man and my boss. Should I be?" Jenna cried.
    "Will and Macy aside, are you happy? I mean a baby! I know we're in a difficult situation but I'm thrilled," Darnell got up and went to Jenna.
    Jenna broke down and cried while Darnell comforted her. "Hey now, it's going to be okay. We will figure this out. We'll just have to have a confession session and see how everyone reacts. Both Will and Macy are reasonable adults. And don't you think they may suspect? I do," Darnell said.
    Jenna turned her teary eyes to Darnell. "Yeah, I guess we need to tell them. When?"
    "Well, no time like the present. Let's do it tonight," Darnell said as he rubbed Jenna's back.
    "Shouldn't we wait until I get a doctor's confirmation?"
    "No. Even if there's not a baby, this needs to come out. Jenna, I'm miserable. I am in love with you. I do love Macy, but not enough to stay faithful. You have been the love of my
