“Because you always take his side.”
“Not taking sides, it’s pure biology how you got pregnant.”
“But it’s his fault for being so sexy and swoony. My ovaries didn’t stand a chance.”
“Babe, you’re the one who packed that scrap of lace. You knew what would happen,” Major adds proudly.
“Are you seriously suggesting this is my fault? I was on the pill! You have superhero sperm that broke the barriers of science and lit up my insides.”
“Please, God, don’t let her mention superhero sperm again,” Ace pleads to the ceiling.
I’m full-out gasping, my sides cramping.
“Stop laughing, you hyenas!”
Major chuckles under his breath and goes to her, lifting her as if she’s weightless and steadying her on her feet. He kisses her sweetly, rubbing her stomach.
“I think I peed on myself. Again,” she announces unconcernedly, trying to see over her stomach.
At this, I take off running to the closest bathroom, knowing time is critical. Harley is right behind me. Our shrieks echo off the mostly empty house.
“You two, hurry. We have a nursery to arrange!” Jewls screams after us.

“Never been this happy to get off an all-expense paid trip in my life.” Talon blows out a breath.
It’s been a long time since he’s looked so drained.
“You okay, man?”
“Yeah, just need a shower and a shot. All’s good.”
He favors his right side on the way into the house where Ace and Major are waiting in the kitchen.
Ace takes one glance, his face sharp as he lines up four shot glasses and pours.
“Aww, the welcome committee is here.” Talon winces as he sits.
“Let’s see it,” Major commands roughly.
Talon lifts his shirt, revealing the bloodstained bandage below his ribs.
“Shit, man. When’s the last time you changed this out?” Ace slams back his whiskey and refills.
“Three hours ago.” Talon does his own shot, motioning for more.
“What the hell happened?” Major snaps. “It was supposed to be a simple stakeout.”
“Junkie informant got twitchy. His dealer pulled a gun to his head. Talon diffused the situation. I covered his back. Once the guy saw us, he snapped and started firing.” I cover the basics, knowing they’ll read the full report.
