The CEO Above My Desk (Mckenzie Shinabery) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

“Okay,” I said suddenly.

Camille blinked once. “Okay what?”

“You need to get out.”

Her eyebrows shot up immediately. “Excuse me?”

I held up the pregnancy test awkwardly. “I am not peeing on this thing while you’re sitting three feet away making eye contact with me.”

Camille gasped dramatically. “I would never make eye contact during a vulnerable urination moment.”

“You absolutely would.”

“That is slander.”

I pointed toward the stall door. “Out.”

Camille sighed like I was deeply inconveniencing her before slowly standing up. “Fine. But just know I was prepared to emotionally support you through the stream.”

“I’m going to fight you.”

“You’re already hormonal.”

“Oh my God GET OUT.”

Camille cackled loudly while finally stepping out of the stall. “Tell my future niece or nephew I love them!”

“I hate you so much.”

“No you don’t!”

I waited until the stall door shut before staring down at the pregnancy test in my hand.

Nope. Still ridiculous. Still impossible.

Still absolutely not happening.

Kight?

…Right?

I exhaled slowly before muttering, “If this thing says positive I’m throwing myself into Elliott Bay.”

Then finally did the test.

A few minutes later, I stepped out of the stall holding the stupid little plastic stick like it was a live grenade.

Camille immediately straightened. “Well?”

“I don’t know yet, psycho. It takes a minute.”

Together we stared down at the test sitting on the bathroom counter in complete silence. This felt more stressful than the FBI investigation.

Camille leaned against the counter beside me while crossing her arms loosely.

“You know,” she said casually, “I really want a little girl.”

I blinked once while still staring at the test. “What?”

“A daughter.” Camille smiled softly. “I already picked out names.”

That dragged my attention away from the test slightly.

“You did?”

“Mhm.” Her expression softened even more. “Mae Isabella Ashcroft.”

My chest melted a little. “That’s actually really pretty.”

“I know,” she sighed dreamily. “It sounds expensive.”

I leaned tiredly against the counter beside her while we both continued staring at the test like it personally owed us

money.

Camille huffed softly. “If Theo ever fucking proposes, anyway.”

I snorted despite myself. “He hasn’t asked yet?”

Camille slowly turned toward me with the most offended expression I had ever seen in my life.

“NO.”

“Oh my God.”

“I am literally carrying his child while federal agents swarm the building and this man still hasn’t proposed.” Camille pointed dramatically toward the ceiling like Theo could somehow hear us through several floors. “I gave this man emotional support, orgasms, and a legacy heir.”

I choked laughing immediately.

“And what do I have to show for it?” Camille continued. “Trauma and swollen ankles.”

“You’re so dramatic.”

“I’m pregnant. It’s medically required.”

Camille sighed before leaning against the counter beside me. “At this point I’m tempted to just drag him to the courthouse and get married like you and Rowan did.”

That made me smile slightly.

The courthouse wedding still felt surreal honestly.

Not bad surreal.

Just… emotionally chaotic.

Very us.

Camille glanced sideways toward me carefully. “Do you regret it?”

The question caught me off guard immediately.

My fingers tightened slightly against the bathroom counter. “No,” I admitted quietly.

Not even a little.

Actually… Marrying Rowan Ashcroft might’ve been the only thing in my life that ever felt completely right.

Camille smiled softly like she already knew that answer before I even said it.

Then suddenly her eyes widened slightly. “Oh.”

My stomach dropped instantly. “What?”

Camille slowly pointed toward the counter.

I looked down at the pregnancy test.

And my entire world stopped.

Camille is absolutely the wrong person to call Violet irresponsible. At least if Violet is pregnant she’s already married, and has discussed kids with Rowen. Camille can’t say the same
