Angry Words
If you could take back one thing you said in anger, what would it be, and why?
“I need to think about this.”
Ok, so it wasn’t anger so much as frustration and hurt. Reena had quit trying to get pregnant for Mitch and Sarita after Sarita decided she didn’t want to do the surrogacy thing. Nothing had happened in months of trying, so we kind of forgot about it. Until Ree realized she hadn’t gotten her period and took the last pregnancy test we had in the apartment. And it was positive.
So there I was with a pregnant girlfriend whose sister didn’t want the baby she’d conceived. Meaning all of a sudden it was going to be me, Reena and a baby. Not really what I’d signed on for.
I was scared. I hadn’t ever pictured my life with a kid. I mean, hell, I’m a lesbian. It’s not like we procreate unless we actually decide to. And then it’s usually an as a couple thing. The surrogacy thing was as a couple. But not this unexpected after the thing was called off. It totally threw me. And so I left for a little while to think things through.
But I’m lucky. I got a second chance. And now Ree and I are getting ready for our daughter’s birth.
