Shocking News

HarryIt wasn’t Yara. I barely said a word as I listened to George on the other end of the line. He was speaking quickly and sounded upset, as though he could hardly believe what he was telling me. In truth, I couldn’t believe it, either. Not at first. But as he kept going, it became clear to me that this was more than just a joke. This was real.This was real. “Harry, are you there?” George asked when he was done.I was standing there, frozen to the spot in the middle of the hallway. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t say anything to him.“I have to...” I managed to mutter at last, and I hung up the phone, as though that would somehow eclipse the reality of what he had just said to me.But it didn’t. It had still happened, just as much as it ever had. I wanted to bury my head in my hands and yell, but I had to speak to her. She had to know. I couldn’t just walk back in there and pretend like none of this had happened, not when my very world had shifted right out from underneath me.I walk

Lawyers

HarryI slumped into the seat as soon as I had dropped Winnie off at school. The last few days had been unfairly hard, and I was still trying to wrap my head around the reality of everything that I had just found out.Raina had been there when the news had broken, and she had been nothing but good with me—or at least, that was what she had tried to do anyway. I could tell that she was as flabbergasted as I was, and I could hardly blame her. I couldn’t believe what I was dealing with.Just when everything had been going the way it was meant to, just when I had been allowing myself to really love someone again, this had come busting in to make sure that I didn’t get anything close to comfortable.“You’ll need time,” Raina told me, her voice as steady as it could be given the revelation that we’d just had dropped on the both of us. “I’m not going to push you. Don’t worry. I understand. You need to explain this to Winnie and everything.”Even though she was saying all the right things, I

Why Now?

HarryWinston Roper, the lawyer we were meeting with that day, was waiting by the door when we walked in. He extended his hand toward me, and I took it. I wasn’t sure what I had been expecting—some smarmy, obviously evil cartoon lawyer type with dollar signs pulsing in his eyes maybe—but this guy seemed pretty standard issue, and I tried my best not to let my attitude get in the way.“I’m glad that you could make it,” Winston told us as we entered his small office. It wasn’t much, but it was clear he took great pride in it.“My client, Allison Bachman, was unable to attend this meeting due to personal matters,” he explained calmly. “But she offers her apologies and her gratefulness that you were willing to meet with me today.”“Yes, yes,” Michael agreed, waving his hand. “Can we get to the point of this, please? I want to hear exactly what we’re doing here and exactly what Ms. Bachman expects out of getting in touch with my client again.”I was glad that I had Michael there to advocat

Processing It All

RainaI made it into work about ten seconds before I would have become officially late, and I stumbled through the door just in time. I felt like I was the living dead that morning, and there was a damn good reason for that.I had lain awake all night the night before, tossing and turning and trying to make the slightest bit of sense of any of it. It hadn’t worked so well.I had slept through coffee with Reed. I had begged off, claiming illness, because the thought of coming out and telling him that the man I had fallen in love with had just turned up with a baby that he claimed he didn’t know about? Fuck that.I was just about to dive into my work for the day when there came a knock at the door. I looked up, and Rita was standing there, her head cocked to one side, eyeing me like she could tell there was something up.“Hey,” I greeted her, hoping that the smile I swiftly plastered on my face was enough to convince her that I was doing just fine.“Hey,” she replied. “You all right? Yo

Dropping the Ball

RainaI sat back in my seat. I supposed I hadn’t even really thought about anything like that. I had been too much in shock to really consider anything beyond my own head right now, and frankly, all that was in there was the intense fear that I was about to get booted out of his life.But perhaps Harry was just as worried about the same happening with me. Maybe he thought that I was out of there, leaving nothing behind but a cartoon dust cloud where I had been standing.I had been so shocked that I hadn’t considered that he might need me to come through for him now—that he might need me to tell him, without a doubt, that I still wanted to be close to him. That I couldn’t imagine being apart from him, even now, even with the weight of all of this piling down on us both.“You should drop him a message,” she suggested. “If you still think you want to deal with any of this, that is. I know it must be heavy, but if you like this guy, if you really like him—”“I love him,” I replied without

Is He Even Mine?

HarryI checked the front door and the back door and then walked around to the long driveway that ran down the space in front of George’s house. He really knew how to deck a place out. It looked great here, perfectly preserved, and I would have been lying if I said there wasn’t some part of me that craved something similar in my own life.But I wasn’t here to check out his property. I was here to make sure that nobody got so much as close to George again, at least not unless I knew something about it first.“I really don’t think we’re in any danger,” George called to me from inside the house, but I shot a look over at him and gestured for him to sit down again. He did as he was told. I knew that this had been a lot of stress on him, and I didn’t like the thought of being the one who had caused it.“And I really don’t think that you’re going to need the guard,” Yara added, appearing next to me, slightly winded from the swift journey she had made around the property to check out all the

Whatever It Takes

HarryJust like that, it was done, and I was sitting there in the middle of this room with all eyes on me as everyone tried to work out what to say next.“Allison, why don’t you take a seat?” Winston suggested.She sank down into one of the chairs nearby and finally looked at me. She seemed exhausted, as though she had been peeled clean of all her energy by whatever it was that had happened to bring us all together.“Could we get a moment?” she asked.I glanced at Michael and Yara to let them know that I would more than capable of handling this by myself. Everyone else filed out of the room and left Allison, the boy, and me all alone together.“This is Nico,” she said to me after a long pause. “He’s... well, I know you won’t believe me until you get the results back, but he’s your son.”“I believe you,” I murmured, and I reached out to touch his cheek.She smiled as soon as she saw us connect. I wondered how many times she had imagined this or if she had hoped that she was going to be

Ghosting Over

Raina“Hey, Harry.”Is that what I sounded like? My voice echoed around my head, and I tried to keep myself from slamming the phone down and forgetting this whole thing. I didn’t want to have to do this, but I didn’t see what choice I had. I was worried about him, and I needed to hear his voice again before I lost my damn mind. I took a deep breath and forced myself to keep talking.“Hey, Harry,” I repeated. “I just wanted to check that you got my message the other day. I miss you. I wanted you to know that I’m thinking about you, and I can’t wait to see you again.”I paused for a moment. Was that enough? It was going to have to be. Before I could talk myself into more of a corner, I hung up the phone and slumped against the wall outside the clinic. It was done. I had done it. Now I just had to find some way to get on with the rest of my day without my head exploding.I knew that I was overreacting. It had just been a few days since I had heard from him last, and he had to be crazy bu

The Way We Were

RainaSpeaking of the man I loved, a moment later, he emerged from the kitchen and gave me a kiss on the cheek in greeting. Winnie pulled away, dashing off with Tink to give us some privacy.“Good to see you,” he murmured, and he brushed his nose against mine.I felt like my knees were going to quiver out from beneath me. I couldn’t believe that we had only been apart for a few days. It felt like my body was responding to him as though it had known him forever, and we hadn’t spent a second apart in that time.I supposed the last time I had been here, we had been getting down to something that was far from totally family-friendly, so maybe my body was just hoping that we were going to pick up right where we had left off. I could remember making my way around his kitchen, wrapped in his shirt, his arms around me as we nuzzled and flirted.But that was before. Before all of this had started. Before our lives had changed beyond anything that we could have predicted. And I had to accept th

Hurting

HarryAs soon as I’d heard her voice on the message, I’d known that she was hurting as much as I was.I had managed to restrain my anger over all of this well enough until that moment. I knew there was no point in getting angry, but that wasn’t going to stop me, not when it felt like there was so damn much on the line and so little control given to me over the lot of it.I was just angry that I felt like all of this was spinning out of control again, when it had just started to fall into place for a change.I had been nervous about seeing Raina. In fact, I was worried that she wasn’t going to want anything to do with me ever again. I already came with a lot of baggage, and this was just another stack of suitcases to add to the pile I was already heaving around everywhere I went.It wouldn’t have surprised me if she had just thrown her hands up in the air and backed off, leaving me to cope with all of this by myself. I would have felt a little cheated, sure, but this wasn’t what she ha
