“I still wanna know about the boys,” Jade repeats, but no one is paying attention to her. Though I still want to know what Kade and Scar heard earlier. No one can expect them to react sanely when our daughter is bringing home boys for the first time, but going straight to psycho is suspicious. Even more suspicious is them asking for permission. We’re missing something.
“How many boys?” asks Jade.
Declan
You’re going to traumatize some poor fifteen-year-olds.
Baby Girl
That’s the point?
“Three,” I answer absentmindedly. Oh fuck me. Now the twins are getting involved as well. I wipe my hand down my face as I read the texts coming in from Macey and Halle.
Cricket
Does this mean we can invite friends?
Ryder
No, we can’t antagonize the teenagers if we are worried about the seven-year-olds.
Sweet girl, why would you even want to? We just got the news and already all hell is breaking loose. Does Roe know just what is in store for these boys coming over? On a day when the whole family is going to be there as well. Ballsy of her.
Mayfly
Do you really want our friends there for this?
At least one of our kids seems to have some common sense. I can always rely on Halle to be the sane and rational one. Usually Roe is as well, but I don’t think she thought this through very well.
Cricket
Good point Hal.
You’re brave Roe.
Apparently, her sisters also agree with that sentiment. I can’t help but laugh. What the fuck is going to happen tonight?
Husband
You guys are so dramatic
Ryder
I agree with the twins
Luca
So we are turning the psycho up?
Dear lord, Roe baby, are you sure you want them to come over?
Does she hate them? I pause and tilt my head as I study Kade and Scar. Does she hate them? Is that why those two were so quick to jump to psycho levels? Jade’s mumbling to Ian about still wanting to know where these boys came from.
“What did you overhear earlier?” I ask skeptically. “What point is Roe trying to make and why?”
Scar shrugs, her phone still in her hand as she waits for Roe to respond. “She called us during school earlier. Said something about proving a point and then she thought she had hung up but we were still on the line and heard some boy teasing her about her nickname.”
My face scrunches as I think about that. Not exactly thrilled some shithead kid is giving our baby a hard time for any reason.
