again, last night will be one I’ll never forget.”
“You really know how to leave a girl with a smile on her face.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been able to feel like this. It’s going to take me a week to walk straight again, and I’m okay with it. I’ll never regret what we did. Maybe I was meant to save you from that fire. It would make this trip more fulfilling than you’ll ever know. Thank you. I wish life wasn’t so cruel to you.”
He leaned over to kiss me goodbye. “I hope we meet again.”
“Goodbye, Easton.”
I didn’t watch him leave. It wasn’t necessary. He had a life I wasn’t a part of. Out of the time I’d spent living on my own, I couldn’t remember ever feeling so content. Maybe I’d welcome him again the following year. Only time would tell if he’d show up on my doorstep asking for another go. For now, he was the best one-night-stand I’d ever experienced. If I was lucky, he’d return. If it happened, I wouldn’t waste time playing cards. No, we’d get right to it, because even mountain women need a good fucking.
Chapter 5
By the time spring came around, and the ground thawed, I was making my first trip into town, including a stop at my doctors for my annual physical. Since I only made this trip once or twice it was important to get everything taken care. I had a huge list, which would require us to stay in town for two days; us being me and the dog.
My doctor was in her fifties, and one of the three who resided in the area. I’d picked her by luck, and appreciated her friendliness, especially when I didn’t know anyone. Moving away from everything I’d known hadn’t been easy for me. I had to find a doctor immediately so I could refill my antidepressants. She’d write me a prescription for six months, in which I’d have to pay the full amount because insurance wouldn’t allow me to fill such a large amount of pills at once.
I’d lived in Alaska for an entire year before weaning myself off of them, but remained a patient to make sure I was in good health. When you have a ton of time on your hands you tend to over exaggerate every symptom one might have.
This particular visit left me with some unexpected news.
I was five months pregnant and hadn’t even known it. Apparently, since the cold months cause locals to gain weight, I hadn’t paid much attention to my body changes. Each spring I’d get back to normal activities and lose the added pounds in no time at all.
“What do you mean I’m pregnant?” I asked the doctor as if I didn’t believe the results. “It’s impossible.”
She glanced down at the results for a second time. “Well, we did our normal blood workup that we always do, including a pregnancy test. It’s routine. I won’t know the results of the others until the lab sends them, but according to this you are pregnant. Are you sure this couldn’t be a mistake? We could test again.”
I sighed and looked down, unable to accept I could be carrying a child as a result of a one-night-stand. “Yeah, I think we need to retest.”
This time, the doctor drew the blood herself and had the vials sent off to the lab, just to appease me. Since I’d be in town for a couple of days, she’d hopefully have the results back in time to give me the news before we ventured back home.
I was a nervous wreck as I waited. I couldn’t get my ass in gear. Instead of stocking my truck with items we’d need, I stayed in bed at the hotel, praying for some kind of miracle to make this all a bad dream. On the second day I finally got up the nerve to pick up a test at the pharmacy. After gathering a few more items I knew were important, I paid and hurried back to the hotel where I could pee on a stick and see the future.
Two lines.
I grabbed the second test out of the box and forced a few more strands of urine out. Three minutes later the same two lines appeared. By this point I was freaking out, panicking, pacing around the room like a nut
