Episode 292: Underneath Your Clothes

"Is Jesse asleep?" Lila nodded. She wore a big sweatshirt but pulled a sofa pillow onto her lap just in case the little bump showed. She just couldn’t tell him. Have him hate her. Even more. "You haven’t been around much. Jesse’s really missed you. So have I."

"Sorry I just... I had some thinking to do and I couldn’t do it around here. I’ll make it up to Jess." He sat beside her. Tossed the cushion aside. Her eyes widened as he laid his hand upon her kicking belly. "You’re so tiny. Just like with Jess. No one would even guess you’re pregnant, except for the glow maybe, but I guess I think you do that all the time."

"H-how did you find out?" Lila squeezed her eyes shut.

"Gable."

Tears flooded down her cheeks. "I’m due any minute. The baby could be yours. From that last night. Do you want it to be yours?"

"Do you know Gable talks about you as if he never even liked you let alone loved you? You left me for someone who doesn’t like you."

"I know and I’m so stupid and so sorry."

"Do you love him?"

"I thought so but then I don’t miss him I miss his money. But you, I miss you all the time." She rested her damp cheek to his. "Do you want it to be yours?"
