“Are you reading a pregnancy book?” I practically shouted. He smiled and actually had the gall to look pleased with himself. “I am. It’s—” “How dare you!” Seething, I stormed from my chair and picked it up, swinging it in the air. “How could you read this? I can’t believe you even bought it!”

“I’m the one who’s pregnant.” I didn’t like repeating myself, but it obviously needed repeating because he was missing the point. “Not you!” I shook my head, unbelieving I’d walked in here to find this. “You think I’m going to be a crappy mom. That I won’t do this right? That I’ll mess up before the kid is even baked? Ohmigod, I can’t believe this!” I was spiraling. I knew I was. But, come on, first Brady wanted to be part of every little thing and now this?
“All right, well, I was just trying to explain that my intention was to get more information because I want to be the best partner I can be in all of this.”
Partner? What was Brady not understanding? Now I got why people tried not to get knocked up. Among the myriad of reasons was this one: the man got mixed up with what was happening. “That’s just it, though. You’re not my partner.”
“When it comes to this baby, I am.”
I wanted him—all of him—but was desperately trying to maintain my dignity and keep my heart whole.
“Too bad we don’t have that kind of relationship.”
“And what kind of relationship would that be?”
“The kind where you and I have feelings for one another.”
“Oh, I have feelings for you, all right.”
“Sexual ones don’t count.”
