“Low sperm count or some shit. I got tested years ago. When I was too busy to even maintain a relationship, my girlfriend at the time was obsessed with having a baby. That was stupid as hell because if I didn’t even have time to be a good boyfriend. I knew I damn sure didn’t have time to be a father. But my dumb ass kept having unprotected sex with her. Nothing ever happened. After we broke up, she was pregnant by someone else five months later. That prompted me to go get tested.”
“Wow. I’m sorry to hear that. There’s nothing that can be done to correct it?”
“Of course there are things I can try, but there’s no guarantee. Honestly, I’m good with it. At this rate, I’ll be old as hell before I settle down anyway. As long as my soulmate already has kids or doesn’t want any, I’ll be good.”
I gave him a small smile. Sage seemed perfect in damn near every way. Three kids used to be my magic number but after losing one, if two kids were all I gave birth to then that’s what it would be. I’d come to the conclusion that I could no longer plan my life to the T. Whatever was in God’s plan was all that would happen. Nothing more. Nothing less.
“Whoever ends up with you will be a very lucky woman. And I don’t think you’ll be old before you settle down. You’re quite the catch.”
Sage kept me company for another hour. When he left, I took a shower and prepared for bed. I had work the next day. As I brushed my teeth, I told myself that I’d give it two more weeks before I started telling my friends and family that I had a baby on the way.
