Chapter 104.

“What’s wrong?” Kendra asks, sensing my unease.

“It’s a message from Jim, said we need to talk when I’m off work” I say

“Well nothing to worry about” she says, assuring me “you’ve always got me to stand beside you”

“Well thank you, I think I should call Jim” I say, and excuse myself from the living room.

While his line rings, my mind races with different thoughts as to why he needs to call me urgently and what he knows… what if he knows I’m pregnant?

“Hey” I say, my voice coming out in a soft whisper, scared of what he’s going to say next

“Hey princess, I didn’t expect you to be out of work by now, I thought you had a night shift” Jim says, his voice sounding soft and sweet through the phone.

“Well baby, I closed earlier, there are more hands on deck so I guess I have less work” I say

“Alright princess” he says

“There’s something you wanted to tell me, what’s that?” I ask him

“Well, I wanted to come pick you up then we could talk over car ride but I’m going to come over…. Is that okay
