“Give me that back!” I yell when my physical efforts prove futile

“Do you even kno to be professional anymore?” she asks venouy’s dick broke through your virginal barrier, all your brains started leaking out”

“Hey!” I snap, angry beyond what I ever have been before There’s a line Heidi’s ed not to cross until this moment, but there isn’t any doubt her feet have landed on the other side now

Whether she’s in large control of my schedule and activities or not, I deserve to be treated like an adult hus of my own To insinuate I’m no ht of slut shaotten at so the way

“That’s enough!” I shout at the top of ood “I put up with a lot of shit, but I refuse to put up with you speaking to er toward her shocked face “Like it or not, Harrison is a part of et on board quick, or you’re the one who’s going to get left behind”

Heidi opens her est she shouldn’t

“I knohat you’ve done for h it definitely has a shake it didn’t before “I’etting me to the place I anize it But that doesn’twhatever you throay because of it You are my employee and I am your boss At the end of the day, I ae here Not you”

Heidi’s sigh is heavy as she raises an eyebrow, clearly e of when she speaks now I don’t let it botherwithit out of the way now that the ice has been broken

“So, instead of vilifying , why don’t you try asking me what’s on my mind What it is that I need in order to find my focus and be the best professional, as you put it, I can be Because I can tell you now that’s going to get you a hell of a lot further than berating et you in the end is fired”

“Fine,” she concedes, only a touch of condemnation in her voice “What is it that you need in order to be able to focus?”

“I need your acceptance of Harrison being around I need soes both h And I need…”

I take a deep breath as I think hard about wherefrom, and I’oing on—all the ht of thought to what actually happens at the end of it all The actual birth

I have to push out a baby, and all in all, I’, I think it would bring e that

“I need to do a Lamaze class”

“Excuse h “Maybe a private instructor—”

“No,” I say with a shake ofher off “I need the experience of other people I need so through is soh alone”

“You don’t get to have a noro to the monthly Lamaze class with every Jody off the street I’ your mind if you think—”

“Stop! I don’t think I can just go to the class at the YWCA, okay? I know I can’t But there’s got to be a celebrity, high-end, A-list type of class happening soht? I can’t be the only fa”

Heidi frowns as she looks down at her phone and then looks back up at me “This is what you need? This will help you find your focus again?”

I nod, but I’m not done until I make one more specification “Yes But I need Harrison to come with me He needs to be there, and I need him there It won’t be the same without him Which means it needs to happen today”
