"we were looking forward to the rest of our lives."
The third book in the Feel series. Austin and Olivia are older now and have their entire lives in front of them.
"You didn't have to kick Austin out of his own room, you know," Randy laughed at me as we laid in my bed. "I know you've missed him."
"I've missed you more," I smiled as I looked over at her. "Besides, I'm flying out to see Austin in a couple of weeks anyways."
"Good enough for me," Randy said, staring at the ceiling. "O, I need to tell you something."
"Mhm?" I asked her, also staring at the ceiling.
"I think.. God, I hate to even say it," she sighed. "I think I might be pregnant."
"What?!" I said, sitting up abruptly. "Randy, what- you- I?? At the Space Needle you said no more babies. What? I'm so confused."
"Shh, calm down," she chuckled, sitting up as well, her curly hair falling everywhere. "I said I think I am, I haven't taken a test yet."
"Holy hell," I let out a deep breath. "I'm excited for you, I just.. I don't think you're excited."
"Well, Olivia," she sighed. "If I am pregnant, I want you and Austin to adopt he or she once they're born."
"Randy, no," I shook my head. "I can't do that. You're my best friend and you'd be around them all the time, I can't."
"Okay," she nodded, not questioning me any further. "Then I hope I'm not. But if I am and you change your mind, I promise it will be okay."
"Wait, why do you even think you're pregnant?" I asked her.
"Headaches, nausea, peeing a lot, and plus my boobs hurt like a motherfucker," She chuckled at me. "I didn't have headaches or tender boobs with August but now I do. I don't know, it may be nothing but it definitely feels like it's something."
My heartbeat grew rapidly. For the past couple of weeks, I've felt nauseous after meals and I've had way more bathroom breaks at work than usual. I haven't thought anything of it, but what if? I can't live with a what if. I have to know.
"Randy," I said, my eyes wide. "What are other pregnancy symptoms?"
"That I've had or in general?" She asked me.
"Both," I said to her, feeling sweat heading up on my forehead.
"Feeling tired, mood swings, dizziness, cramping," she listed off. "Why?"
I felt my stomach twist. I had completely brushed off the idea of being pregnant so me all of a sudden being tired and crying a lot and feeling sick seemed like it was just an aftermath of what happened with Lenny.
"Oh, my God," Randy spoke up again. "O, do you think you could be-?"
"Let's go get tests," I nodded to her. "Now." ___________________________________ randy_barns •••
