#1 All We Never Said (A Burzek Fanfiction)

Chapter 57

"Kim, can I talk to you in the hallway for a second?"

"I guess." She got up from the couch and followed him. "What is it?"

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Have you been skipping doses?"

"Of course not. I'm paying good money for that medication."

"Then why are you behind by two weeks?" He lifted up her medication pack.

"I-I..."

"Did you stop taking it on purpose?"

"No...I just lost the pack and couldn't find it. Are we done here?" She tried walking away and he pulled her back over.

"Hold it right there."

"What?"

"You were sick this morning, but now it's like you've felt fine all day."

"So what?"

"You know what this means, right?"

"For the LAST time, that's not possible!"

"We haven't used protection, and you're in denial."

"It's not possible. I was taking the pill so that wouldn't happen. You're crazy."

He handed her a plastic bag with something inside it. "Please, take it."

"No." She shoved the bag back at him.

"I'm not asking, I'm telling."

She let out a loud, angry huff and ripped it out of his hands. He sat down on the couch and started reading the newspaper. The kids propped themselves up next to him and took out their books from school. Maureen smiled at them.

"You guys really love daddy, don't you?"

"We love him a lot."

"I love you guys too." He put his arms around them and they looked at the comics with him.

Kim was pacing back and forth in the bathroom, patiently awaiting the result. She kept whispering "There is no way. There is no way." The timer on her phone went off and she picked up the test. Taking a deep breath, she looked down at it.

"Mommy's been in there a long time, are you sure she's not throwing up again?" Brayden asked.

"She's feeling better than she was this morning."

"We know what's going on." Hannah said, looking up at him.

"And what do you think is going on?"

"Auntie Shay was sick like this when she found out she was having Ember."

Maureen gave him a look, because she knew exactly what was going on. He gave her one back, but trying to make it so the kids didn't see. The door to the bathroom opened and Kim walked out.

"Well?" Adam asked.

Instead of answering him, she walked past him and into their room. He wanted an answer, so he followed her.

"Are you?"

"What does it matter if I am or not?"

"The father would like to know."

"I left it on the sink."

"Are you afraid that I'm going to be mad or something?"

"No."
