Williams

Jordan. Talk.

Carter

Yeah, I promise I won’t tell a soul.

I’m not the baby’s dad.

Carter

Explain right now!

She found out she was pregnant right after she broke up with Trey. He wouldn’t answer her the whole time she was in London, so he just found out a week ago she is having a baby.

Williams

That’s a lot, man.

Carter

I can’t believe that.

She’s meeting up with him tonight to talk about his involvement with the baby.

Carter

Are you going with her?

No. I’m kinda freaking out about it though.

Riggs

I would be too.

Thanks for that, Brother-in-Law.

Riggs

Sorry, man. What happens if he wants to try again? What has she said?

That she doesn’t want a relationship with him.

Carter

That’s good.

Yeah. But I can’t help but think maybe them being a family makes sense. The kid needs to have both parents.

Williams

Take it from me, man, sometimes it’s better if the parents aren’t together. My family is much happier since my parents split. Being together for the sake of the kids isn’t what people think it might be.

Carter

Especially with Trey. That dude is toxic and the less Mack and the kid have to be around him, the better.
