Mia nods, "I know that. Look Lacey's not entirely innocent. She wanted it as much as he did. But having sex after finding out that her grandmother, the woman who practically raised her, has died isn't right. Lacey was vulnerable."
Sarah's nose is turned up in disgust. "What did Lacey say?"
"She was so upset. After he had sex with her, he left. Like literally pulled out of her and left." The venom in Mia's voice tells me that Barney had better watch his back, if Mia had her way, she'd have his balls on a platter.
"He did not?" Sarah gasps, "Why?" She shakes her head, "Why are men assholes?"
"Not all of us." Jagger says and I glance at him, the fucker has a smile on his face.
"Hmm, coming from the man that kissed another woman hours after Sarah left your bed. That makes you an asshole." Mia tells him emphatically.
"Every single man is an asshole." Sarah says, "Look at Hudson, hell he didn't even know Mia's name the night he took her virginity."
"Sarah!" Mia gasps with outrage.
Sarah raises her hands, "Sorry, but it's true." She tells her sheepishly. "He was an asshole, you've all been one in some way or another, but it's how you redeem yourself that counts. Hudson, the way you care for Mia, more than makes up for the way things between you began."
I nod, "Thanks." I'd lay down my life for Mia.
"We got off-topic." Mia tells her as she reaches for my hand and gives it a squeeze. "What are we going to do about Lacey?"
Sarah nods, "Not much we can do right now. When she's back, we'll have a girls night. She'll need cheering up."
"Sounds good, as long as that goddaughter of mine is there. That little baby makes everyone smile."
"Wait, she was christened already?" Jagger's voice is full of hurt.
Mia huffs, "No. I call myself her godmother but Sarah doesn't want me to be."
Sarah's eyes widen. "I never said I don't want you to be, I just didn't want her christened without her dad."
Mia sits up straight, "So does that mean I'll be godmother?" Sheer excitement in her voice.
"Of course." Jagger tells her immediately.
"Really?" Both Sarah and Mia ask in unison.
Jagger rolls his eyes and snatches the phone out of Mia’s hand, "Yes, Mia is your best friend, you've told me that she's been there for you since you were in school, that without her you'd have suffered."
"Jesus, you two really did talk." Mia quips, "Okay, so I'm godmother
, who's godfather?"
"Hudson." Jagger answers again.
"Um, do I get a say?" Sarah asks.
"The next one you do."
Mia laughs, and I love that sound.
"Okay there big boy, you're getting way ahead of yourself. Just because I agreed to you coming here doesn’t mean anything, we’re not going there." There's no heat in Sarah's words whatsoever.
"Never say never." Jagger replies, the fucker has that million-dollar smile on his face.
"I've got to go, tell Mia, I'll call her later."
"Love you." Mia shouts so that she can be heard.
