Unfortunately, we will have to wait until after the birth to find out. Please forgive me in advance if I find it difficult to accept our new circumstances. I will try, but please keep in mind how difficult this will be for me.” I was glad that he had not let me have it. He was blunt and to the point, but he did not chastise me openly.
Through tear filled eyes, I looked upon the face of my new love, Gordon Roth. He surprised me with the acceptance of the facts and that he was willing to continue our unusual relationship, hopeful that the child would end up being his and we could have our happily ever after. I secretly hoped that the strength of our love would overshadow negative emotions in the event that the baby was actually Matthews. I did not want to lose Gordon. I wanted to float into the future on a cloud of serenity. That was a far cry from where we were actually headed, but one could hope.
Gordon patted the bed next to him and scooted himself over carefully, inviting me to join him in the hospital bed he occupied. I slid into the space he had made for me as he wrapped his arm around me, careful not to disrupt the IV that protruded from the surface of his skin on that hand. I lifted the tubing over my head and lay my heavy head on his shoulder. We lay there quietly, distant hospital noises continued outside the door, unnoticed by us as we enjoyed the feeling of each other’s touch.
I knew I could only hold onto the hope that my love for Gordon would outshine the impossibly difficult scenario we both faced, but as I lay on his shoulder and listened to him breathe; I was temporarily suspended in the elation that I now felt knowing that my love was returned. Only the test of time would tell how this all played out, and all I could do was hold on, and try to enjoy the ride .
