The Quarterback's Baby의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

I couldn't believe it. Dad had just phoned to say that all his problems were over and thanked me a thou-sand times. Thanked me for what? That was what was on my mind. I was exhausted, having been through every one of Sebastian's injuries and procedures over the years. I didn't want to miss anything. I wanted to make sure that the conclusion was right, and that he could play next season. Sure, I had gone a bit overboard and the conse-quences had I found something had run through my mind. There was nothing worse than finding out that an-other doctor had done a procedure incorrectly and being forced to flag it. It would have hurt not only their reputa-tion, but mine too. I could be seen as an underdog and the sports-medicine business was already so damn politi-cal. I did find a couple of red herrings, but after dig-ging deeper. I found nothing to be wrong with his treat-ment and his after-treatment, which was just as im-portant. He had gone to the right number of physiothera-pist s

She was scared-it was clear to me now. Zoe had come over to get her brother's ball. I suspected that ei-ther he had kicked it over or she had, just to get my at-tention. One hour later we were still in my garden later just trying to figure out which bush it was hiding in, and Emma showed up at the door. She had fire in her eyes when she saw Zoe. I should have told her then that it wasn't what it seemed, but some part of me thought that she deserved it. I had been calling her every day for over a week.Not one phone call back. The funny thing is that she actually thought that I was with Zoe. She didn't have a clue what she did to me. I wanted Emma, no one else. I hadn't wanted any-one else since I first saw her in the dorm. No other girl had made me want to commit. I didn't sleep around, but as soon as I heard the words, "Are we dating?" that was when I dropped them like a ton of bricks. But Emma was different.I couldn't get her out of my mind. Her dad had already calle

I stood in the pharmacy thinking about what to do. I felt self-conscious standing looking at the counter with the displays of pregnancy tests. I didn't want to pick one, until a trio of girls that looked as if they were in col-lege, picked them up as if they were going for a pick and mix at the candy store. This whole thing felt nuts. They were talking about the different types of pregnancy tests and the ones which claimed 100 percent accuracy. "Amber, you need to go for this one. It tells you how many weeks pregnant you are!""Shut up!" The dark haired one said as she picked it up "Shit, this thing's good." She picked up the packet and started reading and laughing about it. I did what any sensible woman who had been care-less and was possibly knocked up by a quarterback would do. I picked it up and said, "This could solve all my problems."Not only would it tell me if I was, but it would give me timelines too. Amber seemed to agree as she said, "You and I both. I better get

"Hey girl, you okay?" Sophia said as she picked up the phone. We were due to go on vacation the next day and I was going insane with so many things going in and out of my brain. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormones that had me all messed up. So many things had happened in a short space of time that I needed to talk to someone. Anyone that wasn't Sebastian that is. Call me self-ish for not wanting to talk to him about it, but up until now I had felt that we had gone from just establishing our relationship to me having to make a whole heap of sacrifices. I didn't know if I could add another one to the list. "Yes, could we meet up? I just need to talk to you about something?""Why are we whispering?"Oh because, your brother's in the next room and I'm going to make up some story about why I wanted to leave the house. Gosh, I couldn't even leave the house without permission. This whole thing was nuts. He was taking over my mind, body and soul..."Emma, are you there?"I nodded

It was our first vacation together and I knew that he was going to ask what was wrong. He kept going on about it on the way there. Subtly hinting about me not having my period for the last two months. What is it with men?Why don't they say exactly what is on their mind? He asked if we should stop at the store on the way to the airport, because I forgot to pack something. I ignored him, pretending that I didn't know what he was on about. I could see the disappointment on his face when I said that there was no need. Was he upset, because he knew? Or was it the fact that I didn't tell him?The season was starting and he needed to get his head back in the game. He had been jogging and doing exercises with Mason when he had managed to get out of bed. Which hadn't been often. The thing is I knew that I wanted to be with him. There was no doubt about that in my mind, but the thing that got me was the fact that we had moved so quickly.Kind of too quickly!I had to think a
