Chapter 23

Elena’s POV

“Scared,” I say honestly. “Like really, really scared. But also…okay.” He nods like he understands. “And you? How do you feel…about the baby?”

“Scared. Like really, really scared,” he echoes.

I smile because it comforts me that he’s also terrified by this new adventure we got ourselves into.

“When did you find out?”

“Officially? On Monday. Unofficially? Last Friday.”

“How?”

“Hazelnut lattes and egg sandwiches.”

He tips his head, brows drawn together. “Hazelnut lattes and egg sandwiches?”

“Yep. I was sitting at Cup of Joe’s, and the smell of those two things was so overwhelming that I vomited in my laptop bag. Honestly, if it weren’t for the old lady who commented on it, I wouldn’t have thought twice, and I still might not even know today. My period hasn’t been normal for a while because of all the stress with the divorce and everything, and since we used protection, I never even suspected I might be pregnant.”
