“This isn’t a discussion, River Blue.” She scowls at me even more, angrily snarling at the nickname I refuse to let go of. “This is me doing what I said I’m going to do. You are going to bed, and I’m going to get you more water. Then when you’re feeling a little better, I’ll get you some crackers. I’m not leaving until you feel better.”

River doesn’t say anything else, leading me back to her bedroom. Plopping onto her mattress, her fingers run the length of her forehead, and she groans, refusing to meet my eye.

Today is the day everything changes for us.

Everything hurts,and I’m slowly dying from cramps and constant nausea, turning my damn stomach. I groan when my phone goes off at my bedside, vibrating incessantly until I put it up and view the messages I sent Rocco a few hours before, informing him of my delicate situation. Of course, the bastard retorts with this…

Rocco

I’d ask if you were pregnant…

You’re not, are you?

Is one of them there now? Beside you?

Are you the cheese in the ham and turkey sandwich yet?

The cheese in between the many layers of lasagna?

Me

*middle finger emoji** I’d actually have to have time to fuck to achieve that. I blame you and the sushi.

And no. I’m still a single Pringle with no dick on the horizon.

Now stfu…

Rocco

Do you need anything, Doll? Christian is making his famous chicken noodle soup right now… *wink*

Me

Consider me interested…

Rocco

Figured. He says…feel better, babe. I’ll be there soon, then. Please don’t go into the light…it’s not your time yet.

ME

Sometimes I wonder why you’re my other bestie…

Rocco

Because I bring you soup and quick wit…

ME

And poisonous sushi…

Rocco

Debatable. Just make sure your baby daddies don’t murder me. I like my life, and that mullet one at dinner wanted to pin my dick to the wall. Not in a fun way, either.

I snort, rolling my eyes.

ME
