You and Candy dated for a year. Things were good until you both got new jobs. Between long hours and career goals, you barely saw each other anymore. Eventually, you called it quits. No fights, no drama.
Three months went by with almost no contact. Then, out of nowhere, she called.
“Hey! You didn’t throw away my monitor, did you? I work from home now, and spreadsheets on a laptop are killing me.”
“Still have it. Want me to bring it over, or are you coming?”
She went quiet for a moment.
“I’ll come by. Just leave it in the hallway. Thanks!”

An hour later, Candy showed up in an oversized cardigan, smiling. You handed her the monitor. She took it, careful to keep facing you.
“Thanks! How’ve you been?”
You raised an eyebrow, amused. Typical Candy.
“Not bad. You?”
“Good! Anyway, gotta go!”
She turned and hurried off, holding the monitor against her body.
You watched from the window as she got into her Kia. Once inside, she took off her cardigan.
And there it was.
A pregnant belly. Not a small one, either.
Hold on. You broke up three months ago. Which meant she’d already been…
You let out a long breath and rubbed your face.
Her car pulled away. You grabbed your phone, opened her contact, and stared at the screen.
What the hell were you supposed to text her?
