And there went that stupid feeling again.
I should’ve been walking out of Levin’s house thinking, Never again.
Instead, I was thinking…
Damn.
Maybe sweet girl had finally lost her fucking mind.

AVERY, XAVIER & LEVIN
AVERY
Iain’t fucked Xay since that mercy fuck I gave his ass before Thanksgiving.
And honestly, I ain’t been thinking about fucking him either.
Keith had been too damn good to me.
Which probably made what I was doing to him even more fucked up, but I had bigger shit to worry about than judging myself right now.
Like my fucking mother.
Ever since Thanksgiving, Amanda had been getting on my last nerve about Carter and Serenity looking alike. Especially now that she had those damn pictures in her phone. Every other day she was zooming in on them, sending me side-by-sides I ain’t ask for, talking about their eyes, their noses, their cheeks.
Then two days ago, her ass finally came right out and asked me.
Is Xay Carter’s father?
I almost slapped my own mama.
Not because she was wrong.
Because her ass had figured it out.
“Girl, please. No,” I lied so damn fast I almost believed myself. “You sound crazy.”
She stared at me for a long ass time too.
I stared right back.
Eventually, she let it go.
Or at least pretended to.
Now I had another lie sitting right beside me while I laid back on the little paper-covered table in Dr. Loud’s office.
Keith.
“Everything is looking good,” Dr. Loud said, moving the wand across my stomach while I stared at the screen.
Keith was sitting right beside me with Carter on his lap, grinning at that damn screen like somebody had just told him he won the lottery.
I had finally told him I was pregnant.
And yes.
