And Trentโs not a mess! Heโs not. Heโs got his life entirely together. He chose to reveal his source and give up his position with The Independent. He chose to start chasing book authorship as his new branch of his career tree. He chose his flat, and his car, and his life, down to the brands of tea he buys and the sorts of people he spends time with and the sheet sets he puts on his and Beatriceโs beds. Heโs an adult man, for Christโs sake.
Of course, heโs got his life together. Everything is under his control, and itโs all fine. Itโs entirely, completely, fully fine.
Taking one last steadying breath, Trent opens his eyes and looks over the line of seven tests on the counter: the first he took a few hours ago, and the six he just took since.
Each and every last one of them says heโs pregnant.
Some have plus signs, some have two lines, some simply have the word pregnant. All of them may as well come together to form a little sign reading, Congratulations, Trent! You did it! Youโve finally made a goddamn bloody mess out of everything! Just wait until you have to tell Ted!
Trentโs stomach turns for more reasons than one.
