The wail emitted from this little varmint was like nails on a chalkboard.
“Really, kid? You’re gonna do me like that. I’m thinking here.”
The kid ignored me and cried louder.
“Oh, for crying out loud. No sense in waking up the whole damn town,” I said quickly, picking it up, only for the little brat to grin up at me.
Fucking great.
Kid played me.
“Claudia?”
Whipping around, I gasped when one of my best friends in the entire world stared at me in shock.
“It’s not what you think!”
However, when Jess grinned wickedly, I narrowed my eyes and she clearly said, “You know it’s against the law to dump your kid in an alley.”
“It’s not—”
“Look, I know you got fired, but that doesn’t mean you give up.”
“Ha. Ha. Real funny.”
“What’s funny?” Bailey asked, stepping around the corner before coming to a dead stop when she saw me. “What the hell is that?”
“The number one reason for birth control,” I deadpanned before walking over to them. “I was on my way back from the liquor store when I heard it.”
“You know, drinking while taking care of a baby isn’t the best way to cope. You need to wait, at least until the kid is asleep.”
“Jess, shut the fuck up.”
Jessica laughed.
“Bailey!” I heard my brother Enigma shout. “Where are you?”
“She’s over here, Eugene.”
I groaned, glaring at Bailey, who merely shrugged. “What? I needed a ride into town. Since King infected my womb, fucker won’t let me go anywhere without a chaperone.”
Jogging around the corner, my brother Eugene or Enigma, as the club called him, came to a screeching halt, quickly pointing his finger. “What the fuck is that?”
“Your new nephew.” Jess smirked, then quickly added, “And look, Enigma. He looks just like you!”
My brother paled, quickly backing up. “The fuck it does! I don’t like kids. I get hives just looking at them.”
Rolling my eyes, I sneered at Jess. “Really? You had to get the hypochondriac going. Now he won’t shut up.”
And like clockwork, my brother started panicking as he patted his face. “I’m puffy. Lidi, look. My face is swelling!”
“How do you know it’s a boy, Jess? It could be a girl?” Bailey asked, stepping closer to get a better look at the bundle in my arms.
“I’ve birthed enough penises to know one when I see one. It’s a boy.”
“Did you find her?” Skylar asked as she, Henley, and Freyja all walked over.
“Oh wow.” Henley grinned.
