hundred miles away but she would know what to do.
Me: You awake? I messed up.
Jenna: Yep. What’s up?
Me: I’m pregnant
I kept it simple and t o the point. Now I had to wait for her response and hopefully it wouldn’t be from my brother. My phone was ringing. Shit. Looking at the screen I saw Jenna’s face.
Phew.
Taking a deep breath I answered, “Jenna! What am I going to do?”
“Cobie. How the hell did you get yourself into this predicament?” Jenna asked.
Flopping back on my bed I sighed. “I’m pretty sure we both know how I got myself into this mess. Now I need to figure out what I’m going to do.”
Jenna was silent but I could hear her breathing. She took a deep breath and said , “Cobie, don’t do what I did to your brother. Tell the father. Is it Larkin’s old friend? The one you were telling me about at Evie’s party. What was his name, Braylon?”
Huffing I said more to myself than Jenna, “I’m not sure.”
“You’re not sure? How are you not sure?” Jenna asked. I could hear the irritation in her voice.
“I mean, it was just the one time with Bray.”
Jenna snorted, “You do know it only takes one time, right?”
Rolling my eyes I replied, “Yes, smartass I know that. What I was going to say before you cut in was a few weeks later I kinda hooked up with someone else. Sort of like a revenge thing. I had stopped taking my birth control right after Bray but I did the math and when I slept with the other guy I shouldn’t have been ovulating. But I guess Bray or the other guy could be the dad.” Covering my face with my hand I felt my tears. “Oh God. What kind of mom doesn’t even know who the father of her baby is?”
“Oh honey. The best thing would be go to the doctor, they can gi ve you the conception date, or close to it. Using that date you should be able to determine who the father is since you said there was a gap between the two guys. Who is the other guy? And, you do know your brother is going to kill whoever got you pregnant, right?”
Sucki ng in a breath I ran my bottom teeth across my top lip. I wasn’t sure if I should tell her the truth. Should I tell her that there is a good chance Gage is the father of my baby?
“I’m not so worried about Larkin with this, it’s you I’m worried about.”
Jenna asked confused, “Me? Why would you be worried about me? Babe, not too long ago I was you. I’m not about to judge you for the same thing I did.”
“Because the other guy is…” I trailed off.
“The other guy is, who?”
“Gage. ” I barely got his name out before I slammed my hand over my mouth.
I could hear Jenna’s intake of breath. I know she loves my brother but she and Gage have something special. I don’t want her to hate me for possibly having his child.
“Jenna? Are you still there?” I asked quietly.
“Um yeah, stil l here. Just surprised I guess. I knew the night of his opening he was going to go for you. I warned him but that dicklicker didn’t listen.”
I stood up from my bed and paced my floor. “ He tried to stop me. I sorta pushed him into it. He told me not to but something inside of me wanted to get back at Bray. It was just one time in his office. I never thought this would happen. If I even had a clue that I would end up pregnant I wouldn’t have had sex with him. I swear, Jenna.”
“ Co, I know exactly how you feel. I was in the exact same boat as you just a few years ago. But, I am not about to be the one who breaks this to your brother. He is going to shit a brick.”
“Yeah, no shit, ” I snorted.
Jenna sighed before saying, “Ok, well make a doctor appointment and get the conception date. Do you want me to fly out and go with you?”
“Would you, please?” I asked, relieved. I didn’t want to sound like the whiney little sister but Jenna was the closest thing I had to a sister and I needed her.
“Of course I will. I am always here for you. Make your appointment then let me know when it is. I have
