We just walked into the building to our eight-month appointment.
Dane's house is coming along and Kayden's room looks awesome. Joseph has done such a great job and we have his room all decorated and everything bought for him that we could think of.
I'm so sick of rumors going around that I was having an affair with Dane and that the baby is really mine and his not Angie's and when I exploded on that girl in the baby store Dane didn't know how to take me but once in the truck he laughed.
He said no one has ever stood up for him like that and he was speechless.
"Pria Harlow?" The nurse said.
We got up and walked to the room behind her and we weren't in there long until Dr. Jessup came in.
"How are you two doing?"
"We are making it doc," Dane said.
"Well, let's get a look at Kayden. You don't have much longer to go." He said squirting the gel on my stomach.
"He is a good size boy and everything looks how it should and we are right on track." He said as he printed out the pictures.
I always hand them over to Dane because I know how much they mean to him.
He smiled looking at them as we walked out to make our next appointment.
One of the employees at the doctor's office kept staring at Dane and even unbuttoned the button on her blouse.
I looked at her and rolled my eyes. "You do know that he's grieving and just lost his wife? Women like you give all of us bad names." I said stomping out.
Dane was waiting out by his truck when I walked out and he looked at my red face and rushed over... "Whoa, what's wrong with you?"
"Stupid bitch. You didn't notice but while I was checking out one of them floozies unbuttoned her shirt for you and I told her off. I swear I can't take you nowhere." I said.
Dane laughed... "I'm sorry it's not my fault. What do you want me to do? Angie used to get so mad when people would flirt with me and I would be oblivious about the whole thing."
"Well, Dane you are a good-looking guy. I've always thought that but why don't people respect that your grieving?"
"I appreciate you standing up for me Pria. I've never had a best friend besides Aaron and well you are better than owning a pit bull." He laughed.
"Just for that smart ass, I need an ice cream and french fries stat!" I laughed.
"Fine, you got me there. I'll go get you whatever you want." He said.
"A husband and a million dollars would be nice too." I giggled.
"Well, I'm all out of those sorry." He said as we pulled up at a diner.
"Well damn." I laughed.
"Why are you single Pria? You are a catch and I don't really get it." He asked.
"Maybe because I'm picky? I don't really know Dane. I dated in high school but most guys I meet only want one thing and I'm not interested." I shrugged.
"Well, it's good to be picky." He said as the food is delivered.
The ice cream and french fries hit the spot and seemed to calm Kayden down as well from kicking.
When I was finished I sit back and rubbed my belly until Dane finished. When I looked over at him I couldn't help but laugh.
"Dane you have something on your mouth." I pointed.
"Well, where?" He asked.
"Oh geez," I said leaning forward to wipe his face but my stomach was in the way of the table. So Dane leaned forward puckering up his lips.
"You look like a monkey's ass." I giggle wiping it off the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
"Thanks for that compliment. Are you ready to go now Pria?"
"Yup, we are full." I smiled at him.
He paid the check and we headed out to my car where Dane opened my door.
Right as I went to get in some guy walked up and hollered at Dane.
"Must be nice your wife hasn't been dead long and you already moved on and knocked someone up." He said.
Dane was trying to close my door but I was out of that car fast. I may have rolled out but I did. "Hey! Fuck you!" I yelled.
The guy turned and looked at me. "That's what you have been doing."
"You don't have any idea what's going on so shut your trashy mouth," I yelled getting back in the car.
When Dane got in the car he looked over at me. "What in the actual hell?"
"I am fiery while pregnant and Dane it isn't right that your name is getting tarnished by me being pregnant and they don't know the truth and it just pisses me off."
"I appreciate you standing up for me but I don't owe anyone an explanation. It's my wife who died and I'm the one left holding a baby literally."
"With my help. I'm going to help hold the baby too and I won't leave you Dane no matter what happens." I said.
"I appreciate it Pria. When it first happened I was afraid you would have the baby and say goodbye not mine."
"Dane you have known me my whole life. Do you think I would really do that? Do I want a child right now? No, but will I help you raise him until you tell me to leave? Yes of course I will."
He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I appreciate you more than you know Pria. You are a godsend and I don't know what Kayden or I would do without you."
"And I promise you Dane that Kayden will know who Angie was. We are taking a piece of clothing and have a deer made out of it for him. I have one with my mom's clothes."
"That's a neat idea. Thank you for always thinking of us." He smiled over at me.
