“I’m not going to ask how you know that.”
I rubbed my forehead. The thought of him screwing someone else was bad enough, let alone him fucking someone where his kids could walk in on him.
“Come here.” His hand hooked my neck and tugged me forward. “Quit freakin’ out.”
“I’m allowed to freak out,” I ground out. “This is a big deal. They have to like me, or this won’t work.”
“They already like you, Dimples.”
“Well, they might stop liking me if you keep pawing at me.”
He laughed, wrapping his arms around me. “They might think something’s wrong if I stop ‘pawing’ at you.”
I slid my hands up his back. “Well, can you just keep it PG for my sake, please?”
“I’ll do my best.” He pulled away and opened his desk drawer. “I’ve got something for you.”
“What?” He held out a box and I snagged it from his hand. “Oh my god, you bought a pregnancy test?”
“There’s two in that box,” he countered.
“You brought it here?” I snapped. “In front of your kids?”
I had nowhere to put it as my purse was in the kitchen, so I hid it behind my back.
“I can still see it, baby,” he retorted.
I waved it in the air. “What am I supposed to do with it?”
He took it back, opening the box and handing one of the packaged wands to me. “Go pee on this one, I’ll keep the other one on me.”
“I’m not taking a pregnancy test in your home!” I hiss-pered.
He cocked his head. “Do you have to pee?”
“I always have to pee,” I grumbled.
“Then pee on the stick. My kids will neither know nor care.”
“You’re a pain in the butt,” I muttered, stalking out of the den and into the powder room.
I did my thing and he walked in while I was washing my hands. “I locked that.”
He ignored my observation and handed me a ziploc bag. “Put the test in this while we wait.”
I sighed and dropped the wand into the baggie, then followed him into the kitchen. Teddy was still sitting at the island, this time with Orion sitting next to him, a large pad of paper between him and Teddy, drawing while Teddy looked on in delight.
Raquel appeared in front of me with a glass of wine. “I took the liberty of pouring you a glass.”
“Bless you,” I breathed out with a grin.
“Babe,” Sundance warned, and I sighed, setting my wine on the counter, hoping no one would notice I wasn’t drinking it.
Raquel nodded toward Orion and Teddy. “Teddy’s making squiggles and Orion’s making pictures out of those.”
“Oh, wow,” I said, taking a peek.
“It’s a bird,” Teddy informed me.
