JESSE
Lucy's late. This can't be happening. I nearly lost her last time. It's all I can think of.
Nana walks over to Lucy. "You're not."
Lucy starts to cry. "I'm still taking a test to be sure."
Nana nods. "As well you should."
"You're not?" I ask. "She can't know that."
Nana glares at me. "I can know that, and I do know that. Do you forget where your children get it from?"
I pale. Oh fuck. I've pissed off the Mojo Queen.
"I'm sorry, but we have to be sure," I tell her, still panicking.
Nana nods. "This once I'll let it go. But remember."
"Jesus," I mutter.
"Not quite," Lucy teases.
"Not funny at all," I reply.
"It kinda is," Xan says from the doorway.
Nana turns his way. "Don't think I don't know what you've been up to."
He blanches. "I don't know what you mean."
She laughs. "Oh, yes you do."
"Okay, I do. But it's not a bad thing," he defends. I have no fucking idea what they're talking about.
"It is. It's too soon."
His eyes get wide. "Really?"
"Really. Wait," is all she says then moves across the room to Sera.
I turn to Xan. "Wanna go with me to get Luce some tests?"
Xan nods. "Hell yes. Get me the fuck out of here."
As we walk out the door we hear Nana laugh and know without a doubt it's about us. I'm good with that.
