"I
can
help."

"No,
I'm
good.
 
Go
sit
down
and
relax."

Totally
relaxed
and
feeling
at
home
Jaydan
removes
her
heels
and
heads
for
the
sofa
to
relax
with
her
third
glass
of
wine.

"So
are
you
going
to
join
me?"

"Yeah,
I'll
be
right
in.
 
I
have
something
for
you."
 

"What
is
it?"

"It's
a
surprise.
 
Hold
up
I'll
be
back
in
a
minute."
 
Paul
said
as
he
ran
upstairs
to
his
bedroom.

Jaydan
takes
the
opportunity
to
dim
the
lights
in
the
room
and
turn
on
some
romantic
music.
 
She
unbuttoned
yet
another
button
on
her
too
tight
blouse,
exposing
even
more
cleavage
before
striking
a
sexy
pose
on
the
sofa.

Paul
returns
from
upstairs
with
a
large
gift
bag
full
of
beautifully
wrapped
gifts.
 
Jaydan's
face
instantly
lights
up
when
she
sees
the
gifts.
 
There
was
absolutely
no
doubt
in
her
mind
that
her
man
was
finally
back.

"Are
these
all
for
me?
 
Paul,
you
shouldn't
have."
 
She
said
as
she
leaped
from
the
sofa
and
gave
him
a
big
hug
and
a
kiss.

"Trust
me,
it's
nothing."
 
Paul
replies
as
he
nonchalantly
peels
her
off
him.

"Come
sit
down.
 
I
want
to
talk
to
you."

"Sure.
 
What's
up?"
Jaydan
asks
as
she
joins
Paul
on
the
sofa.

Paul
reaches
into
the
gift
bag
full
of
gifts
and
pulls
a
large
gift
out.
 
"Open
this."

Jaydan's
eyes
lit
up
as
she
takes
the
gift
and
quickly
rips
the
wrapping
paper
off.
 
To
her
horror
she
discovers
that
it
is
a
pregnancy
kit.
 
So
caught
up
in
the
prospect
of
a
date
night
with
Paul
she
had
completely
forgot
that
she
was
suppose
to
be
pregnant.

"What's
this
for?"

"I
need
to
know
if
you're
really
pregnant."

"But
I
told
you
that
I
was
pregnant.
 
I
already
took
a
pregnancy
test.
 
The
test
was
positive.
 
Paul
I'm
pregnant."

"Then
you
won't
have
a
problem
taking
this
one
for
me."

"What
is
the
point?
 
Why
are
you
doing
this?"

"Jaydan,
we've
been
on
this
roller
coaster
ride
for
long
enough.
 
If
you're
pregnant
then
I
promise
I'll
be
there
for
you.
 
Whatever
you
need
I'll
get.
 
It
doesn't
matter
if
the
baby
is
mine
or
not."

"The
baby's
yours
Paul.
 
I
told
you
that."

"Let
me
finish.
 
I'll
be
there
the
entire
time.
 
Then
after
the
baby
is
born
we
can
get
a
paternity
test.
 
But
I
need
you
to
pee
on
the
stick
for
me."

"So,
I
suppose
all
of
these
are
pregnancy
kits.
 
Huh?"

"Yeah.
 
I'm
sorry."

"Who
put
you
up
to
this?
 
Your
little
bitch
put
you
up
to
this
didn't
she."

"Jaydan,
let's
just
take
the
test
and
see
where
we
are.
 
I'm
tired
of
all
the
doubt."

"If
I'm
pregnant
are
you
going
to
dump
your
drag
queen
and
get
back
with
me?"

"No,
Jaydan
I'm
not.
 
Whether
I'm
with
Queen
or
not,
we're
not
getting
back
together.
 
I'll
be
there
for
my
child,
but
we're
done.
 
So,
pee
on
the
stick
so
we
can
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
next."

Jaydan
stands
up
to
leave.
 
"I'm
out
of
here.
 
I
thought
you
wanted
me
back.
 
I
don't
need
this
bullshit.
 
I
can
find
another
man."

Paul
speaks
softly,
 
"Jaydan,
please.
 
Do
it
for
me.
 
Just
take
the
test.
 
Unless..."

"Unless
what?"

"Unless
you're
not
pregnant.
 
If
you're
not...
then
you're
not.
 
I'm
not
going
to
be
upset.
 
Do
we
need
to
take
the
test
or
what?"

Jaydan
is
silent
as
she
stares
up
into
the
ceiling.

"Just
be
honest
with
me
Jaydan.
 
That's
all
I'm
asking.
 
Be
honest."

"Give
me
the
damn
kit."
 
Jaydan
said
as
she
snatched
the
kit
from
Paul's
hand.

"Here
take
the
bag."
 
Paul
replied
as
he
gave
Jaydan
the
gift
bag
of
pregnancy
kits.
