“Titan, condoms-”

“Oh, for fuck’s sakes,” I bit out. “I don’t need a lecture on condoms.”

“Okay, okay,” he rushed out. “Calm down.”

“That’s easy for you to say,” I harrumphed. “You’re not the one being accused of fathering some chick’s kid.”

Coach eyed me. “Do you want to fly back alone?”

“Fuck no,” I answered. “And make it look like I’ve got something to hide?” I shook my head. “I’ll fly back with the team like Ialwaysdo.”

“Titan, I’m just trying to help,” he said.

“By not believing me?” I shook my head again. “Yeah, I don’t need that kind of help, Coach.”

With that, l left to go get my shit, then catch my ride to the hotel. We were scheduled to leave in the morning, and I was not going to hide out like some guilty coward. Whatever this chick was up to, it wasn’t going to work. Even if I had to wait a few months to clear my name, then I would.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I rode up to my room, ignoring everyone else. I had phone calls to return, and those were more important than answering to people that might become a possible ‘source’ for whatever news network paid them enough. Now, while I trusted my teammates to have my back, I didn’t trust any of them like I did my family.

Setting my bags down on the floor, I pulled my phone out, initiating a conference call. I knew that it was late, but Sebastian didn’t have a game tonight, and Raven was only in pre-season right now. I also knew that Sebastian would answer for Sparkly if she was already asleep, though I doubted it. Some of my missed calls had been from her phone, too. Nevertheless, according to Bast, she slept a lot this late in her pregnancy.

As soon as everyone was on the call, Raven asked, “Are you okay?”

“Want me to kick her ass?” Nova asked.

“Calm down, Sparkly,” I chuckled. “We’re not there yet.”

“Plus, you’re pregnant,” Orion reminded her, making Sebastian grin proudly.

“Well, obviously I’d wait until both the babies are born,” she drawled out.

“Do we even know if she’s really pregnant?” Atlas asked.

“Did you guys see her announcement?” I knew that it was probably playing back-to-back on all the sports stations, but I wasn’t ready to see it just yet.

“Yeah,” Sebastian sighed. “It’s everywhere, Tite. You can’t escape it.”

I ran a hand through my hair. “Goddamn it.”

“Is there any chance that it’s true,” Raven asked.

“Sparkly, I need you to put the phone down for a second,” I said.

“That’d be a no,” she retorted.

“Please,” I begged.

“What for?” she huffed. “It’s not like Sebastian isn’t going to tell me later.”

Bast chuckled as I said, “And I’m okay with that. I’d just rather him tell you than me do it.”

“Fine,” she huffed, setting the phone down, listening for once in her life.

As soon as she was no longer listening in, I said, “Nothing’s changed from all that shit with Trisha. I still don’t fuck pussy, so it can’t be mine.”

“Are you sure that she didn’t turkey baster you?” Atlas asked.

“No way,” I answered. “I make them swallow or I always wear a condomandtake it with me.”
