Summary
“I’m pregnant.”
Margot’s mouth fell open. They were both at a loss for clever words.
After maybe a full minute of silence, Margot stumbled out: “You told me–”
“I know,” Will said, and then he had to look away from her. “I know. Turns out we both need to go back to sex ed because, as I was recently reminded by a very kind nurse practitioner, hormones are not birth control.”
Margot remained silent.
“You can’t believe how much of an idiot I feel like.”
“A very fertile idiot,” Margot murmured.
Will choked out a hysterical laugh and looked up to see Margot staring out the windshield into the middle distance.
There was another long stretch of silence. Will couldn’t do anything but scrub his hands over his face, hunched over in the patent leather seat.
“Are you thinking about keeping it?”
Will laughed again, his eyes burning and his heart pounding somewhat wildly in his chest. “I can’t be pregnant right now. I really can’t be pregnant right now.”
