I had to start thinking about something else.

“When do you need to see the doctor again?”

“Not for a couple of weeks,” Tria said. “The main problem will be during the summer because the school clinic closes for the whole month of July and part of August.”

“We need to find you another doctor,” I said.

“We really can’t afford anyone else.”

I frowned and held her a little closer. I clenched my fingers over her abs.

“I’ll be making more steady money in a couple of weeks. I mean, I don’t get my first paycheck for a while, but it should be enough to cover a doctor.”

I released another frustrated sigh.

“Tell me this, then.” I sat up in the bed and looked down at her. “What are we going to name the baby?”

“I don’t know,” she replied. “We haven’t really talked about it. I thought if it was a boy, you could choose—”

“I mean what last name will we give it?” I interrupted. “Teague?”

“I…I don’t know…”
