PART 5- CHAPTER 184 LUKE
Sitting in the corner of the OB-GYN waiting room, | tapped my knee anxiously. | couldn't sit still; my nerves were
on edge. | pulled out my phone, found Josh's number, and hit call. He answered on the third ring. "Hey," he said,
his voice a little far. I could hear him turn down the music.
"Got a minute?" | kept my voice low. | was in a doctor's office, and I didn't want Francesca to hear this call. She
had been on edge since we stepped inside, and | didn't want her eavesdropping on this conversation. "Sure,
what's going on? You've been MIA. | thought you disappeared. | called, Laura called, and even my parents called
you, man..."
| rubbed my temples, feeling the familiar pressure building. "I've been... handling sstuff."
"Clearly," he replied with a dry chuckle. | thought Jess was a family man. You didn't even check in with her. She's
been asking about you."
The mention of Jess made my chest tighten. "Really?"
"Yeah, she got her memories back. The first thing she wanted to know was if you'd visit her," he said, the tone of
his voice turning serious. "She remembers everything, Luke."

| froze, the words hittinglike a punch. "She remembers everything?"
"Yeah. You would know if you had picked up your phone or read any of the messages. And you're the first person
she thought of." There was a pause, and | could almost feel his impatience. "So why haven't you reached out?"
| didn't answer right away, staring at the floor as my grip on the phone tightened. "It's complicated, Josh."
"Complicated?" he scoffed. "Fuck! It's been weeks! You're going to just leave her hanging after all this time? The
best you can cup with is that it's complicated? What happened to you, man. You were ready to fly out and
find her yourself." "Josh," | said, my voice low and warning. "You don't know the whole story."
"Then fillin because you're acting like a fool right now," he pressed. "You've wanted this for so long, and now
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat you have a real opportunity, you're just ignoring her?"
Taking a deep breath, | finally managed to utter something. "She deserves someone who can give her
everything. Right now, | can't do that."
Josh sighed heavily, clearly unconvinced. "Cut the martyr routine, man. Do you really think she cares about that?
She wants to see you and talk to you. Just give her a chance."
"I can't," | muttered, glancing at Francesca, still occupied with her call. "I can't because... I've got another
situation to deal
with."

Josh's voice shifted from frustration to concern. "What do you mean? You can tell me. Is it your dad? What did he
do?"
"Francesca is... she's pregnant," | confessed, feeling the weight of the truth hanging between us. I'm at the
doctor's office with her."
Silence descended on the line.
"Josh?"
"I'm processing," he finally said, sounding bewildered. "You're tellingthat Francesca is having your kid? And
you didn't think to mention this?"
"| figured it out recently. | just didn't know how to explain it," |
said, guilt gnawing at me.
"Does Jess know?" His voice had a serious edge now.
"No. And she can't. | can't drag her
into this. Francesca has made it
clear... if don't stay, she'll leks the

"So, that's it? Are you throwing the towel on Jess because of this? She can't just take your kid. You have rights,
man."
| clenched my jaw, trying to keep my
anger in check. "I won't make then,

Josh paused, clearly torn. "Staying with this chick even though you don't love her isn't right, man. That kid
