SUMMER
These aren't Braxton-Hicks. These have got to be the real deal because they hurt all the way down into my vag. The others hurt just the belly.
"Jace," I mutter.
"Are you okay?" he whispers. I can hear the worry.
"I don't think so. I think this might be it," I tell him.
"Holy fucking shit," Xander shouts. "Someone start timing. Someone get the 'go' bag. Someone call my dad!"
Tera snickers. "It's just like when I went into labor. 'Someone' do this, 'someone' do that. What aboutyou?"
"I can do the timing. No problemo." Xan replies. "I don't know where the bag is. Jace, that's your duty. So's calling my dad."
Lucy holds out her phone with a crazed expression. "I'm on the phone with him, dumbass."
"Wow. Hostile women today," Kennedy mumbles.
I nod. "And it all has to do with babies."
"Again," Linc says. "I'm so glad I like dick."
Kadi curls a lip. "Just as gross as Jesse and Lucy."
He leans toward her. "One day you won't think so, little one."
Jace points. "Shut your mouth."
Linc and Ethan laugh, Kennedy chuckles. Kennedy's closest so he gets the punch in the arm.
"What'd I do?" Kennedy asks, rubbing his arm.
Jace gives him a look. "You laughed, fucker."
"Only because it's funny," he replies.
"Wait. You just wait 'til you find your woman and you have a baby girl. We'll see how funny it is then," Jace scolds.
Kennedy smirks. "I'm not having kids."
Sera gasps. "What? Why? You'd have beautiful babies. I can see them. They have such gorgeous eyes like yours."
Kennedy pales. "Stop it."
"I can't help it.It's the baby," Sera wails.
Cage nods. "The kid's intrusive as fuck."
"Seriously?" I ask, panting through another contraction, watching Xander time it.
"He's not kidding. I could tell you right now all the bad things you're thinking about Jace and sex," Sera remarks. "I don't want to know these things, but you're really projecting, and normally I have control."
Jesse makes the sign of the cross and whispers, "Another one like Kiki."
"Holy Mary Mother of God," Ethan prays.
