Tessa
We started our morning as we ended last night and I would want this to be in any other way.
Hardin is in the shower and I scroll on my phone, but at some point I am interrupted by Emma who's video-calling me. Ups, I totally forgot about her.
Video call
"Hi girl!"
"Hi Em." I move the bed sheet uppers on my chest.
"Ugh, I interrupted something? You look... Freshly fucked."
"Uhm..." I feel my cheeks heating up. This girl knows me really well.
"I'm glad Robert is making your happy!"
Hardin: "Who's Robert?" He comes back and I know I fucked up.
Emma: "Oh, shit. This is not... Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry. I... uhm... I'm gonna hang up. Bye!" She says and she ends the call.
"So... Who's Robert?" He tries to stay calm.
"Uhm... He's my ex. You know I was in a relationship with someone else."
"So... You don't know who's the father?" He speaks loud and I'm afraid that everything is over.
"You are the father, Hardin. I'm eight weeks pregnant and it's been eight weeks since Mia and Nate's wedding. In that period, Robert wasn't in town and he's not the father. Please, believe me." I get up from bed and I put on my robe. I try to touch him but he avoids me.
"I... I need some time alone."
"Please... Hardin. You need to trust me. I promise it's your baby. Robert was gone in that period for a month and we were always careful."
"I'm going out for a run to clear my mind."
"Please, don't leave me!" I say and I start to cry.
"Hey, I'm not leaving you!" He lifts up my chin. "I just need to think, okay? I will be back."
"Promise me you will be back." I know I'm being stupid right now, but I can't lose him. I'm desperate.
"I will be back." He kisses my forehead and he starts to get dressed.
As soon as Hardin leaves, I feel sick and nauseous and I end throwing up.
When I hear the door, I'm still in the bathroom and I don't have any strength to get up.
"Tess? Where are you?" I hear him and a few moments later he comes in the bathroom. "Hey, are you okay?" He knees in front of me, with a worried look.
"No."
"Let's go to bed." He lifts me up and he takes me to our bedroom. He let me on the bed and he sits behind me, putting his arm around me.
"I don't wanna be without you Hardin. And I'm honest when I'm saying it's your baby. We can take a paternity test, so you can be sure."
"I believe you, I don't know what was going on in my head. I'm sorry. It's my baby, I know it."
"Thank you." I put my hand on his. "I'm sorry you had to find out in this way about Robert... But you have to believe me."
"I believe you." He kisses the back of my neck. "When you have your next appointment?"
