Shifting away from her, I look for the gym teacher. Ugh, why is she late today?

“Is that how you get these guys?” Bridget asks. She reaches out and manages to grab and twist my nipple. Crying out in pain, it only makes her giggle in a deranged way. “Do you let them fuck your tits?”

“It doesn’t count as sex if there’s no vaginal penetration,” Lisa says sagely.God, who taught them sexual education?

“Get off me!” I scream, pushing them away. Unfortunately, Bridget manages to twist harder as she’s pushed away, and I gasp in pain.

“That’s enough! What’s going on here?” Coach barks as she stalks onto the track finally.

Tears coursing down my face from humiliation and pain, I chalk this up to something else I will need to talk to my new therapist about. I am calling the first one on the list on my way to see Tempest.

“I can’t run today,” I tell her, cradling my chest.

“Why? What’s wrong with you?” she barks.

Lying, because the truth sounds bizarre, I tell her, “I’m having chest pains, and think I need to go home early today. My husband will want to closely monitor me.”

She doesn’t need to know I’m skipping to go see Tempest, and I doubt Levi will care if I use him as an excuse. I don’t plan to use him often like this, but I can’t deal with these girls today. Next, they may try to trample me while we're running.

Frowning, the teacher nods. “Get some rest,” she says, blowing the whistle loud enough to make us all cringe. “The rest of you, get moving!”

Moving quickly, I escape back to the locker room to grab my stuff and run. I seriously hate gym class.

Chapter21

TRIGGER WARNING IN THIS CHAPTER!

“This is so weird. You being a nun and living over here,” I say as Tempest hands me the bowl of popcorn. We’re snuggled up on her bed watching Gilmore Girls. I’ve missed this. Sighing, she pauses the episode and turns to face me.

“I don’t like this either, but for now, it’s what’s happening. I know once I start to show, I’m going to be kicked out and I'll have to find somewhere to go… But in the meantime, I am going to take advantage of the fact that I have food in my belly, a roof over my head, and bestie snuggles anytime I want.”

“I’ve been thinking about that,” I say. “What if you went to live with Jacob and Otto?” She starts to laugh, and shakes her head. I grab her hand. “No, seriously. Just think about it. They have plenty of room, and Otto would spoil your baby. You wouldn’t have to be alone, and even more… you would be safe, Tempest.”

Her eyes fill with tears and she starts to blink a lot. "I could never ask your brother to do something like that."

"Just leave that to me."

I pull my phone out and text Jacob.

Me: Theoretically, if Tempest was pregnant and needed a place to stay, since she can’t be a nun, could she stay with you and Otto?

There’s silence for a few moments before a photo of Otto pops up with him screaming.

Jacob: Yes. Apparently, Otto has baby fever. So your theoretical answer is ‘yes’. Damn, sounds like it’s going to be loud for a while here.

Grinning, I look over at Tempest.

“He and Otto would love to have you and your baby stay with them,” I tell her, showing her the photo of Otto squealing.

Snickering, Tempest is tickled by him. “Alright, you must have superhuman sister powers or something. I thought for sure he would be grumpy about this,” she says.

Shrugging, I tell her, “Just be aware that they fuck like bunnies, and you will probably have to bleach your eyes at some point.”

Howling, she shakes her head. “He’s not my brother!”

“Eeeeww! Please don’t hook up with my brother.” I laugh, knowing she wouldn’t. Hell, she could and I don’t think I would really care.

Tempest almost falls over from laughing so hard, rubbing her stomach as she rights herself.
