Wild at Heart (Wild, #2)

by K.A. Tucker

“I’m not saying no to kids, Jonah. I do want one or two eventually—” “No, I get it.” He releases my hands to hold his up in the air in a sign of surrender. “It’s okay, Calla. Really. You’re right. It has been only a few months.” He voices these words, but his frown says something different. “I’m sorry.” “Don’t apologize.” He shakes his head. “I’m always pushing you to be honest with me about what you want. Or don’t want, in this case.” “So … What are we going to do?” A fresh wave of panic hits me as reality sets in and I look down at my abdomen. Is there a human growing inside me? “I guess”—he pauses, searching for words—“we need to find out for sure first. There’s no point worrying until we know for sure.” As usual, Jonah is right. “I’ll do a test as soon as we get home.” Uncomfortable silence fills the cabin, the previous nostalgic mood obliterated, replaced by something sour. Jonah has stepped away from me—to give me space, perhaps?—his hands now occupied with his coat pockets. I’m searching for the right words to get back to our previous conversation when Jonah sighs heavily. “Maybe we should head back. I don’t think either of us will be able to think about much else.” That’s probably for the best. I barely nod before he’s moving for the door.
