“But you’re on the pill.”
“I didn’t pick up the prescription on time, and I ended up skipping a few days that week. It’s not the first time it’s happened, and it didn’t seem like a big deal because I wasn’t having sex.”
“When did you find out?”
“This morning. After you left, I went and bought the tests. They both came back positive.” She understood his initial surprise and his questions. With those out of the way, it’d be nice if he hinted at how he felt about the news.
“You took two tests.”
She nodded.
“And they were both positive?”
“You’re not happy about this.”
“Of course I am.” Josh lifted her onto his lap and kissed her forehead. “I’m surprised as hell but ecstatic.” He placed his hand over her stomach. “And I can’t wait to meet our son or daughter.”
Their discussion brought to mind her interview with Aimee Trainor weeks ago. That night, the woman had asked if she was pregnant. Even claimed there was a rumor going around that she was and her pregnancy was the reason behind their short engagement. Not only had Courtney denied it, she’d thought to herself that one thing she could say with certainty was that she and Josh would never be expecting a child. Turned out even as she’d been denying it, she was already pregnant.
Life could be so unpredictable and full of surprises.
The hand on her stomach inched its way up and covered her breast. “I love you.”
Actions sometimes worked better than words. Right now seemed like one of those times.
