Then at me.

Then at Avery.

“Okay…”

My stomach tightened.

I grabbed the rail.

“Oh, fuck.”

Everybody’s attention snapped back to me.

Thank you, Collin.

For once.

Sam rushed back to my side.

“Another one?”

“YES, BITCH!”

She grabbed my hand.

Xay moved farther into the room.

And I looked at him over Samantha’s shoulder.

His son was coming.

He was finally here.

Not in my bed.

Not sneaking into my house.

Not calling me from the car.

Not promising me shit he never followed through on.

Here.

In the hospital.

While I was having his baby.

And his wife was holding my fucking hand.

Xay looked at me.

I couldn’t read his face.

Maybe because half that motherfucker was swollen.

But I knew him.

He wanted to come closer.
