When I wake, I know it’s early, but I also know I slept a long time. Not wanting to wake my men, I crawl out of bed and head for the bathroom. I decide that I need a long soak and this tub is far too big to go unused. So I fire up the water and let it fill. I go in search of a hair tie. I don’t know why, but I look into the baggie and I see something strange inside. It’s a tie, or something that looks like one, mixed in with all the others. When I pull it out, panic races through my veins. Where did this come from? How did it get here? I sit down on the side of the tub very slowly. Putting my head in my hands.
“Breathe, Addison,” I tell myself. If this is in here, it’s not in me, and if it’s not in me that means… “Oh god.”
“Baby girl?”
I jump at the sound of Kyle’s voice; I didn’t hear him get up. “Oh god,” I groan. Panic rises and my breathing spikes.
I hold up the hand that has the ring, my birth control ring, in it. “Where did this come from?”
He shrugs and shakes his head. “I have no clue, where did you find it?”
“In with my hair ties. It’s not for my hair.”
“Then what is it, baby girl?”
Oh god. I don’t know if I can tell him. God, I don’t want to discuss this. “It’s nothing,” I say.
“You promised honesty, Addison. You’re lying to me right now.”
I start crying. “Not lying, just, oh god Kyle, this is my birth control.” I bat my eyes to try and slow the flood of tears. Oh god, emotional, crying, bitchy- fuck.
“What do you mean ‘birth control’?” he asks, completely innocent.
I look at him and fight the urge to scream as the panic continues to rise. “It’s called NuvaRing,” I tell him in a shaky voice. “It goes up there; it’s full of hormones that act as birth control. I put it in and then three weeks later I take it out, I bleed and put a new one in. I need to know how long this has been with my stuff.”
I can see fear and panic creeping over his features. “God Kyle, please, no, don’t, damn it, don’t. I need someone to be strong for me right now. Please don’t panic, I can’t, I can’t handle it.”
“Baby girl, I’m sorry. I just, we haven’t…” He falls onto his butt.
“Kyle, breathe. Please. I…” I have to tell him, “Kyle, I have issues with my uterus.”
He looks at me, waiting for an explanation. “I’m on birth control only to regulate my periods. Without it, I bleed maybe, twice a year. I have cysts. Do you understand what that is?” He shakes his head. “They’re little bubbles on my ovaries that over time can turn hard. These cysts completely block one of my fallopian tubes and limit the functionality of my ovaries. There are also a lot of hormonal issues and other areas of my health can be affected too. One of my ovaries only functions about twenty-five percent of the time. Without birth control I have a less than five percent chance of getting,” I swallow hard, “pregnant.”
“So there’s no way…”
“I didn’t say that. I don’t know. It’s all going to depend on how long this has been out of me. Which is why I need Talon. Can you go wake him for me? I don’t think I can move right now.”
I don’t know how he does it, but he manages to pull himself together. He turns off the water behind me and leaves the bathroom.
I can hear him in the bedroom. “Talon, come on, big man. Addison needs you to wake up.”
“Huh, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, she just needs to talk to you. She’s in the bathroom.”
“Okay, give me a sec,” Talon tells him.
I put my head in my hands while I wait for Talon to come into the bathroom. God, Kyle freaked out, I don’t think I can handle Talon freaking out on me too.
“What’s going on, angel?”
I take a deep breath. “Do you recognize this?”
I show him the ring. “Yeah, I found it and put it into your hair ties bag.”
Thank god. “When?”
“Oh, um, Vegas I think, when we packed you up.”
Oh fuck. “Kyle, can you bring me my phone, please?”
“Angel, what’s going on?”
“It’s not a hair tie. It’s actually called a NuvaRing, it’s my birth control,” I say softly.
He kneels down in front of me. “I don’t understand.”
“This goes inside of me, and it releases hormones into my body, then after three weeks, I take it out and within a few days I get my period.” Kyle shows up with my phone.
“When were you supposed to take it out?” he asks me.
“Sunday morning, but I couldn’t find it. Then with the Bryan Hayes thing, then yesterday- I just forgot about it. I was going to have one of you help me, but everything just got so messed up. But I couldn’t find it because it was gone and it’s been gone…” I look at my phone, “for over two weeks.” Panic soars once again.
“But we haven’t used condoms.” I put my hand on his cheek.
“I have problems, with my ovaries. My likelihood of getting pregnant is less than ten percent.”
“So you’re not…” I can see the panic I feel reflected in Talon’s eyes.
“I didn’t say that, though I wish I could.” I look back at my calendar. My period usually shows up Tuesday night, or sometime Wednesday. “I need a test, but it might be too early.” The tears flow again when I see Talon with complete panic on his face.
Kyle kneels down behind Talon. “Talon, are you alright?”
He doesn’t respond. He just sits there. His body is radiating panic and ready to freak out. I put my hand on his cheek. “Look at me, big man.” He doesn’t move. “Come on, big guy, I need you to look at me.” Tears streak down my cheeks. I can’t stand to look at his panicking face; I need him to look at me. “Come on, baby, look at me.” Finally his eyes meet mine. “Hi there.” I smile. “You with me?” He nods slightly. “Can you talk to me? What are you thinking?” He looks down again. “No, no, keep looking at me.”
His eyes come up, meeting mine, and they’re thick with unshed tears. “I’m scared,” he breathes.
“What are you scared about?”
“I’m not sure I’m ready to be a father,” he says in a whisper.
“Aw, baby, we don’t know that. We don’t know one way or another. Until we know for sure, we cannot panic. Please, I can’t.” The tears flow harder and faster, “I can’t stay strong for the three of us.” I look past Talon to Kyle.
“Talon, no matter what, we’re all in this together,” Kyle says as he rubs Talon’s back. “You’re not in this alone, neither is Addison.”
“What if it’s yours?” Talon asks.
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me whether it’s yours or mine. If she’s even pregnant, we’re still all in this together. We’ve made a choice to be a threesome; everything we do involves all of us, no matter what,” Kyle says. His strength is like a shot of adrenaline straight to my heart.
Talon loosens up a little bit too. “Kyle’s right. We can’t make assumptions until we know for sure.”
“How do we do that?” Talon asks.
I give him a small smile. “I need a pregnancy test.”
“Where do I get one?” He’s eager.
“Breathe, big man. I will send Tori or someone else to get one.”
“I’ll go,” Kyle says as he stands up.
“Relax, cowboy. There is no guarantee that the result I get today will be accurate. A blood test is preferable, but I don’t want to take the risk of it leaking to the media. So, if we’re going to get one, I’ll need at least two. I’ll take one today and I will try another one on Thursday or Friday. My period usually starts on Wednesday after I take out my ring, but I only had it in about a week before it fell out. So my body is probably screwed up.”
“Okay, let’s get you a couple of tests,” Kyle says.
I nod and look to Talon. “You feeling better?” He gives me a tiny lift of his lip. “I’m going to slide into this nice warm tub. I need to relax.”
“Can I join you?” Talon asks. “I just want to hold you,” he whispers.
I look up at Kyle who nods. “I’ll go talk to Tori,” he says.
“Are you sure?” I ask.
He leans down and kisses my forehead. “Absolutely,” he says and leaves the bathroom.
I reach for Talon’s hand. “Come on.” He stands up with my help. I step over the side of the tub and stand in the middle. Talon steps in behind me and slides down into the water.
“Come, angel,” he says and I sit down in front of him. He wraps his arms around me, under my breasts, and pulls me back closer to him and holds onto me like he needs air to breathe. I settle into him, his hold and his touch surrounding me. I lay my head back on his shoulder.
Kyle is back within fifteen minutes and Talon hasn’t move
d. He has his head buried in the crook of my neck and I love the fact that we’re wrapped up like this. Kyle stands over us. “Join us, please,” Talon requests.
I smile at Kyle and nod and he steps out of his pants and t-shirt before joining us in the tub. He starts to sit down opposite us. “Come here, and turn around,” Talon says and Kyle turns around and sits down between our legs. He hesitates to lean back.
“You won’t hurt me,” I tell him, wrapping my arms around his chest and pulling him back against me. Once he’s settled against me, I wrap my legs around him, keeping him pressed tightly against my body. He leans his head back on my shoulder and Talon kisses his head, and then buries his face back in my neck.
We don’t move, staying like this for some time. We hold on to each other and it’s pure bliss. I nearly forget what we’re facing right now. What Kyle said, about us being a triad, a threesome, and how no matter what, no matter whom, it doesn’t matter. The idea brings tears to my eyes again.
Kyle shifts and I let him go. He turns in the tub. “What’s wrong, baby girl?”
Talon’s hands begin rubbing along my stomach, but there is nothing sexual about it, it’s strictly comforting. “I’m scared. I’m nervous. I’m, god, I don’t know. So many things are running through my mind.” Talon lifts his head.
“Lean back, Kyle,” Talon says and he does, getting awkwardly comfortable, so many legs. “Go to him, baby, lay with him.”
“Where are you going?” I ask quietly.
