terrified to tell him.
“Well that’s good; at least you know who he is.” Megan didn't say anything for a minute and that made Jennifer looked at her best friend. She was never quiet, not when it was something this big.
“What are you thinking about?”
“What are you doing to do? I mean with a baby? We don’t live in the nicest neighborhood.” Jennifer knew she had to do something about her living arrangements, and about the baby there was only one choice.
“I will keep my baby with or without Phoenix's help. And I am going to look for a nicer place.”
“I want to be there for you, I love you and your baby.” This was why she loved Megan. No matter what she would always be there. “What are you going to tell Phoenix?” Jennifer looked at her phone and her lunchtime was running out.
She stood up and Megan followed her. She ordered a sandwich for her boss/baby-daddy. “I will talk to him, I just don’t know when.”
“Jen, I think the sooner the better. You never know , he might be a standup guy and take responsibility for getting you pregnant.” Jennifer looked at Megan and smiled. She hoped he would be the standup guy she needed, and not freak out on her.
“I'll talk to him after work. I have to go.” Jennifer glanced at the front door.
Her best friend shook her head. “I'll walk you in.”
“Meg , it’s right across the street.” Megan smiled.
“ I know. I’m going to need to see your baby’s daddy again!” A couple of people turned to look at them.
“Shh, keep it down, ” Jennifer said as they walked out.
“Sorry, it's just crazy. You have sex one time and you get pregnant by the hottest guy I’ve ever seen.” She was right; Phoenix was the hottest guy she had seen. “He fits the nickname I have for him, sex god.”
Jennifer laughed . “Please don’t call him that!”
Megan smiled. “Well he was, wasn’t he?”
She blushed remembering his touch and his wonderful mouth. “Yeah.”
“You know I hate you. I need a sex god. Wanna share?” Megan grinned.
“Nope, you have to find your own.” They walk ed into the elevator and Jennifer pushed the button.
“Are you nervous?” Megan grabbed Jennifer’s hand.
“ I am beyond nervous.” She squeezed her best friend’s hand. “I have no clue what I’m going to tell my dad.”
“ We'll figure it out.” Megan let go of her hand and they walked out.
Jennifer walked to her desk to put her purse down and Phoenix was waiting at her desk. “I have your sandwich, Mr. DuPont.” He looked down at it, and then looked at Megan.
“Than k you. We need to talk.” She could feel her heart speed up. She wondered if he already knew.
“Hello , Phoenix. We met before, you know that night you took my best friend’s virginity.” Megan gave her best smile and Jennifer started choking on her saliva.
She started coughing and Megan pounded on her back. Jennifer glanced at her boss; he didn't look too happy.
“I'll see you later Megan, ” Jennifer said and glared at her.
“Love you!” Megan kissed Jennifer’s cheek and then pulled her into a hug. “Call me if you need me.” She whispered in her ear.
“Okay, ” Jennifer said and Megan smiled and waved to Phoenix.
“In my office, ” Phoenix said in a low tone, and walked to his office.
She placed her hand on her stomach and whispered, “Nothing will ever harm you. I love you.” Jennifer let her hands fall to her sides, and walked into his office.
“Shut the door.” S he did, but remained at the door. “Jennifer, sit.” She stared at him and he looked angry. She slowly walked to the chair and sat across from him. “I need to ask you something, and I want you to be honest with me.” She could feel her heart racing again, but she nodded. “Are you pregnant? I saw you throwing up, and I can sense something different with you.”
Her heart dropped, he knew. Jennifer felt the color drain from her face. “Yes.” She managed barely above a whisper.
“Shit, I
