He pulls away again and looks around. “So Poppy’s pregnant huh?”
I laugh and push his chest. “Yep and she’s not dealing with it well, so we need to be there for her.” I look over at Ethen and Ralph. “All of us.”
“Oh fuck yes. I can’t wait to be an uncle. Uncle Ethen, oh damn that sounds like something the chicks would go nuts for,” Ethen says, smiling at me and I roll my eyes.
“Baby Renegade. I can’t wait,” Ralph says, nodding his head.
Fitz grabs my attention and I look at him. “Why isn’t she dealing with it well?”
I smile and rub his arm. “The same reason you walked out this morning. She’s afraid Nate will leave her.”
“Shit,” he whispers. “He’d never walk away from her. He told me this morning that if Poppy was the one pregnant he’d be happy as hell. She should know him better than that.”
I shrug my shoulders. “She does, she just isn’t seeing clearly. This is a huge change in both their lives.”
At that moment, Nate and Poppy come walking out of the bedroom. They hold hands and they both look happy. “I’m going to be a fucking father,” Nate yells.
We all jump up and hug them, congratulating them. When I hug Poppy I whisper, “I told you.”
She pulls away and smiles. “You sure as hell did. Thank you.”
“Christ, how long until she stops puking every day?” Ethen asks, plugging his ears like a damn child.
“I don’t fucking know, but I think when we get to Brooklyn’s it’s best if we fly home. She can’t ride back to New York like this for the next two weeks or so,” Nate says, pacing the living room.
He’s a nervous wreck and I can’t blame him. If it was Brooklyn I’d be the same way. She’s been amazing with Poppy, taking care of her and yelling at us to do one thing or another. Part of me wishes it was me worrying about Brooklyn, because seeing the way she is with Poppy makes me want to care for her that way. I don’t mean because she’s sick, hell no I never want my girl in any pain, but the idea of her carrying my child, I’ll admit it is something that I want.
“Fitz, is Brooklyn really moving in with you?” Ralph asks, breaking my thoughts.
I grin and nod my head. “Hell yes she is.”
“So why are we dropping her off at her place?” Ethen asks loudly with his ears still plugged. I smack his hands and he pulls them out of his ears. “Ouch, what the fuck?”
“Stop acting like a fucking child. Poppy is sick because she’s pregnant, man up you fucking pussy. The reason we are dropping Brooklyn off is because she needs to get her house on the market and pack her shit. Anyway, who said I wasn’t staying?” I ask, raising my eyebrows.
“Good, with you and Nate gone, Ralph and I will rock the shit out of this bus. New pussy every few miles,” he says and wiggles his eyebrows.
“Nate?” We all turn when Brooklyn calls for him. “Poppy fell asleep on the floor, I think she’d be more comfortable in the bed.”
He races down the hall as she comes and plops next to me. “Baby, you are so amazing,” I say, pressing a kiss to her temple.
“Yeah, well she better remember this when I’m puking my guts up one day,” she says, sipping her water.
I pull her on top my lap and kiss her. “You won’t need Poppy, I’ll be the one taking care of you.”
“Oh Fitz,” she whispers and kisses me.
She stays seated on my lap for a while and we all enjoy the last few hours of being together. We will be at her place tonight and I honestly think I’ll be staying. I’m not sure I can be away from her for this long. This way I can help her pack and get everything situated without worrying.
“Damn, I’m fucking starving,” Poppy grumbles, coming out of the bedroom.
Brooklyn looks at me with wide eyes. “I’m going to shower before I can’t get in there again,” she says, giving me a quick kiss and rushing off.
I chuckle and turn my attention to Poppy. “Hey, how are you feeling?”
She sits across from me and pulls her legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. “I feel like someone has beaten me with a bat. I feel disgusting, exhausted and hungry.” I reach over and squeeze her knee. “But thanks to Brooklyn, I know it’s going to be alright,” she says, looking up at me with a small smile.
“Yeah, my girl is pretty fucking amazing.”
