-Conleigh to Jessie
JESSIE
“I can’t believe that this is actually happening,” I muttered to Steel. “This is like we’re back in the 1800s or something.”
Grinning, Steel looked at me. “This really surprises you? I mean, it’s Conleigh. This is the same girl who stole shit for her baby brother. The same girl who told me she would kill me if I hurt her mother. Of course, she’s going to do something crazy like this.”
Just as I was about to reply, the stairs creaked, and we both looked up.
My breath hitched in my throat when I saw my son.
Holding his newborn baby in his arms.
“Holy shit,” I breathed, standing up, my heart pounding so hard that it felt like a lead anvil in my chest. “Holy shit!”
Linc shook his head, his face haggard. “I can’t freakin’ believe she just did that to me.”
I hurried forward and came to a sudden halt, my heart all but breaking when I realized I shouldn’t get any closer to him.
“This freakin’ virus,” I growled.
Before I could say anything else, Linc shoved a bottle of industrial-sized hand sanitizer into my hands.
“Use this,” he said.
I did, my heart pounding as I looked at my kid holding his kid.
When I had myself cleaned up to my elbows, he placed his child, my grandchild, into my arms.
My heart beat violently when I looked at the new little soul in my hands.
“Ho, boy,” Steel said from my side. “Looks like you, kid.”
“Fuckin’ huge, isn’t he?” Linc laughed. “She was cursing me the entire time. Mom used the freakin’ mail scale to weigh him. He’s ten pounds, fourteen ounces.”
My mouth fell open. “You’re shitting me.”
Linc shook his head. “Nope.”
“Conleigh okay?” Steel asked, sounding anxious.
I ran my finger over the length of my grandson’s bald head.
“Is that my baby?”
Linc’s now middle child came barreling into the room.
I dropped down to my knee so she could see. “It is. Do you like him?”
The smart ass looked at me with barely concealed hostility. “No. Can you put him back and hold me instead? I’m way prettier.”
