The Endgame Is You (Rixon Raiders 4)

I shot her a disapproving look.

“Too soon?”

“What do you think?”

“I think you need to explain how you’re pregnant when you told me you and Cameron were going through a dry spell?”

“Seriously, that’s what you’re choosing to focus on?”

“Fee, you’re doing it again,” Mya said.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, okay.” She held up a hand. “I just... pregnant. She’s freakin’ pregnant.”

“Yes, I got it the first time.” Mya offered me an apologetic look. “How are you feeling, really?”

“Confused. Scared. Did I say confused?”

“It’s okay, Hailee. You’re going through something huge.”

“Have you told Cam?” That was Felicity. I pressed my lips together, averting my gaze. “Hailee... you have to tell him.”

“I can’t, not yet.”

He was dealing with something huge; he didn’t need this to worry about.

“Girl,” Mya reached for my hand. “He’d want to know.”

“I need to process it first and then figure out what I’m going to do.”

“What do you mean?” Felicity paled. “You’re going to keep it, right?”

“I...” I couldn’t answer that question. My heart said yes. But... a baby?

Cameron and I weren’t even together. Well, at least, I didn’t think we were.

God. Everything was such a mess.

“I’m still in college. I want to graduate.” Guilt coiled around my heart.

The elevator doors pinged open and we all filed out, heading for Mya’s apartment.

“You can’t be more than, what, two months along?”

“The doctor thinks I’m nine weeks.”

“So you’re due when, June?” Felicity asked, doing the math.

“June second.”

“Perfect. You can take finals, graduate, and then have the baby.”

“And where we will live? What about my plans?”

Her expression fell. “It’s not straightforward, but you’ll figure it out. Besides, Cameron will step up.”

“I think Cameron has enough on his plate.” My heart clenched again. Finding out I was pregnant was supposed to be a happy occasion. It wasn’t supposed to happen now, in the middle of all this.

She rolled her eyes. “You can’t seriously be thinking about keeping this from him because of what’s happening with his mom?”
