Be The Genius In My Heart *BOOK 1 OF MR. & MRS. PORTER SERIES*

Chapter 26

The next morning I was still on top of Eugene. I tried to snuggle my way out of his arms, but once I moved he woke up. "You tryin' to leave?" Eugene asked. I chuckled. "Well it's morning. We got to get to work." I explained as we both got up and started getting ready. Eugene seemed to be a bit distant today. I walked up to him. "Hey, honey. You okay?" I asked. He looked at me. "Yes. Why?" He told me. I could tell he was lying. "You're lying." I said. "No I am certainly most not. I would never lie to you." Eugene reminded me. I sighed in defeat. "Alright." I said, pecking his cheek. We walked out of our house to Rosita approaching us. Great. I never liked Rosita. She was constantly rude to my husband and I was not having it. "Let's go Eugene." Rosita commanded. "How about you give us a minute?" I demanded. Rosita was about to say something when Eugene said:"No it's fine." I looked at him in concern. He looked at me like nothing was wrong. "Okay." I mumbled. Eugene kissed my forehead goodbye and walked with Eugene to the gate. But this gives an opportunity to do something. I walked into the house and into the bathroom. If this is true, then this will be a turn of events for us. For everyone. I got out the pregnancy test, pulled it out, and started on it. I waited a minute or so for the results. I looked at the results. My heart stopped. This cannot be happening. No,no, no! I realized I said that out loud. "Hello? Ashley?" I heard Tara walk in and call out. I was silent just so she would go away. "I know damn well that you are in here. So don't pretend you aren't." Tara called out as she walked down the hall to where I am at. She knocked on the bathroom door and pulled on the knob. "Alright, Ashley let me in." Tara commanded. I hid the pregnancy test and unlocked the door. As Tara walked in and shut the door behind her, I sat back down on the toilet seat. "What's going on?" Tara asked. I didn't know if I should tell her or not. I sighed deeply as Tara sat down on the floor in front of me. "Do you promise not to tell anyone? Until I tell my husband?" I begged. "Of course. You have my word. What's the matter?" Tara asked. I sighed and pulled out the pregnancy test from behind the toilet, and showed it to Tara. Tara's eyes went wide. "But I thought-" "I thought so too. Someone manipulated with our protection. And I am going to find out who." I told Jesus as I stood up. "What will happen when you do?" Tara asked. I shrugged my shoulders. I then wrapped my arms around Tara. She did the same. I began crying into her shoulder. She rubbed my back and shushed me in comfort. "It's okay." Tara repeated. "He's going to blame himself. I just know it." I told Tara. "Just tell him what happened before he starts flipping out." Tara suggested. I nodded as we pulled away.
