The poor woman looked like the fucking Hindenburg.
God, I hope she didn’t explode around me.
Taking a better look at her, I noticed how tired she looked. Poor girl had dark rings under her eyes and she was pale. Leaning against the wall for support, she smiled up at me. “Hi, Scribe.”
“Should you be up walking around?”
“I can’t lay down anymore. I’m going stir crazy.”
“You mean Gunner is driving you bonkers?”
She nodded.
“Where is the overprotective daddy to be?” I asked, looking around. Generally, Gunner wasn’t far from Sarah. So it was odd not to see him lurking around.
“Ran into town to pick up Jamison.”
“Do you need help getting somewhere?”
“No.” She sighed, leaning her head against the wall. “I think I’m gonna just stand here for a while. This might be my new home.”
Chuckling, I shook my head and picked up the heavily pregnant woman. Even with three babies in her belly, Sarah was still a little bitty thing. “Where to, my lady?”
“Maybe the couch downstairs. That way, I can still visit with the others.”
Heading back down the stairs, I’d just placed Sarah on the couch when Bailey stormed into the common room. “There you are!”
Groaning, I rolled my eyes as Sarah snickered. “Busted.”
“Scribe, I need to talk to you,” Bailey stated anxiously.
“Go talk to King. I’m busy.”
“You are my best friend. Per the best friend code, you are obligated to listen when I have need of you. Or would you rather we return to our warring ways?”
“SCRIBE!” King shouted from his office. “Talk to my woman!”
“She’s your woman!” I yelled back. “You talk to her!”
“Wanna clean the shitters next, asshole?!”
Hanging my head, I groaned, “Fine. What do you want?”
Bailey looked at her booted foot, then around the common room, before whispering, “Not here.”
I knew that look.
She was in trouble.
Again.
My night was looking up.
Smirking, I placed my hand on her back and ushered her upstairs to my room. As soon as I closed the door, I got comfortable on my bed and spoke, “Alright Bails, what did you do now?”
Pacing my room, Bailey nibbled on her thumbnail.
Sitting up, I internally danced with glee.
