You Broke Me First

Chapter 32

Tessa

After a few hours of work, I finally get back home. After I quickly eat something, I go to take a shower. As I get out of the shower, I admire myself in the mirror. My boobs are bigger, my skin is glowing and I even have a small bump which I'm proud of. It's a good sign that our baby is growing.

I walk in the bedroom and I get dressed, then I write him a message with a picture of my bump and he immediately calls me. It's almost 3am there and he's not sleeping?

Phone call

"Hi."

"Hello. You are not sleeping?"

"I don't. I waited for a sign from you all day."

"Did you like the picture?"

"Of course! I love your bump and I wish I could touch it."

"Soon. Now, I'm going to let you sleep. We can talk tomorrow."

"Do you want to tell me something?"

"I do. But it can wait until tomorrow."

"Tell me now. Is everything alright with our baby?"

"No, no, no. We are alright, don't worry."

"Then?"

"I will tell you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay. Have a good night, Tess."

"Thank you. Sleep well."

The next morning...

It's 9am and I'm sure Hardin is home right now and I can call him. I dial his number and a few second later, he picks up.

"Hi."

"Hi, Tess. Do you miss me because you are calling me everyday?"

"Fuck you."

"With pleasure, love." We both laugh. "So? What's up?"

"Well... I had a visit yesterday at work."

"I hope it's not about some guy..." He rolls his eyes.

"I hate this habit."

"And I love when you roll your eyes while I'm fuck-" I interrupt him.

"Stop!"

"Okay. So? Who visited you?"

"Vance's wife."

"Why?"

"Do you sit down?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"Christian is sick and he needs a kidney transplant. And she said that you might be compatible with him."

"What?"

"She said that Christian is your father."

"Good joke. I have a father. Ken. She was kidding, I think. Just to make me do something."

"I don't think she was kidding."

"This can't be possible, Tess."

"I am just tell you what she said."

"And what I'm suppose to do?"

"She wants you to come and do some tests to see if you are compatible."

"I have to go. I'm going to ask my mother about this shitty story."

"Please, if it's true, don't fight with her."

"I can't promise anything, love. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay. Be nice with Trish."

"Tess?"
