I hadn’t seen Jackson since the night of our date. I would let him tell me after he found out and not pressure him. I tried to remember that this was hard for him, too, and he would need time to process it when we got the confirmation that my worst fear was true - Jennifer was carrying my mate's child.
The doctor came home that night to say goodnight to Abigail and me, before returning to the lab. There were no results yet, which made the waiting even worse. Abigail and I shot up when we heard the door open from where we both fell asleep on the couch.
“Nothing yet,” he said.”

“There’s a slight delay,” he said.
“Slight delay? What does that mean?” I asked, my voice sounded high.
