Something To Tell You

Asla starting with the word ‘so’ and having to take a deep breath had Naiche’s full attention. The reason for the weighted ‘so’ was obvious when it was followed up with ‘pregnant’. Naiche wasn’t showing any sign of what he thought at first. She was doing ‘that mom thing’? Asla as a mom? Doing that ‘mom thing’? Musing on Asla as a mom it took him a few more seconds before the lighting strike of realization came to his mind of who the father might be. Naiche hadn’t really moved but his muscles had grown more taught with the shock factor.

“You’re pregnant?” It was a dumb question she’d just said it but Naiche felt pretty damn stupefied as his mind tried to grasp the numerous things it could mean. Asla babies. Asla babies with who? Indigo had been here and Naiche assumed they had spent time together. The ‘what if’ it wasn’t Indigo thought nudged at the back of his mind. Sure, it could happen but it didn’t right? Indigo had been here and she loved Indigo more. So her body knew who she loved more? Well…

It felt odd to ask how many potential parents there might be, was there a better way to ask this? “Pregnant um, from, with, just me or?” Naiche couldn’t do it, he couldn’t find the best sentence on how to ask a life-altering question. He couldn’t say ‘so was it me, indigo or have you seen anyone else?’ Had she seen anyone else? Damn it all. Naiche didn’t even know what he wanted her to say right now.
