I shoot Dillon a dirty look. I wasn’t going to bring that up. It’s still too early for a paternity test. But we don’t know if it’s Joe’s or Dillon’s baby. Up until the time we found out I was expecting, we’d all been intimate together. But a child changes everything.
I had been spending more time with Dillon and only Dillon over the last year. Although I love Joe, and he’s still one of my best friends, I feel more connected to Dillon. He’s supportive of everything, warm, emotional. I can’t think of a better father. If I’m being honest, I want him to be the father. But I love this child growing in me either way. And I will find a way for Joe to be a part of it, despite being literally worlds apart now.
“Call us when you have moved into your new place?” I ask, excited. I can’t see Joe’s face well enough to read his emotions, not that I have gotten better at that.
“Sure,” Joe says.
“We’re looking at coming out before I get too big to fit on an airplane,” I say excitedly. “I have always wanted to go to Scotland and now you are right there!”
“I look forward to it,” Joe states.
I see him pick up one of the fancy Scotch glasses I got him as a going-away present. It disappears into the fuzzy blob where his face should be. Apparently, his internet isn’t very good.
I stand and wrap my hands around Dillon. My Dillon. I can honestly say, I love life. And I can’t wait for everything the future holds.
** The End **
