“You could have checked in with me,” I said. “I’m the pregnant one.”
“You’re the one who threw eggs and toast at me, then stormed out of my apartment.”
“Could you blame me, Atlas?”
“You didn’t mind me the night before that happened,” he said.
He wiggled his fingers.
“Okay, whatever,” I said.
“Well then,” Lynne said. She cleared her throat. “Now that we got that out in the open, how about we take a look at your baby?”
My face blushed.
Atlas’s didn’t.
He walked up to me and we both looked at the screen as Lynne began the ultrasound.
The tension in the room felt like a thick fog.
Then the baby appeared on the screen.
Black and white, fuzzy, just a shape… but the head…
I blinked fast.
Atlas touched my left hand with his right hand.
I refused to look at him.
I was not going to fall for any of his emotional and hormonal traps ever again.
Chapter Nineteen
ATLAS
“We havea game we like to play,” Jago said. “Rome invented it.”
“So I should assume it’s something sexual?” I asked.
“We’re a bunch of guys sitting in a bar,” Rome said. “Nothing sexual between us.”
“You don’t know that,” Henry said as he threw his arm around Rome and planted a kiss on Rome’s cheek.
“Dude,” Rome said. “I know I’m good looking, but you must have a vagina to ride this ride.”
“I regret this already,” I said.
“Don’t,” Sebastian said. “This is us bonding as a team. Now we can sit here and talk about hockey. Talk about what’s good and bad with the team.”
“We have a good fucking team,” Joe bellowed. “We just have to get smarter together.”
“It’s not even that,” I said.
“Then enlighten us,” Henry said.
He winked and nodded at me.
