What did you do?

ME

You know what I did. Stop looking at me like that.

GRIGORI

This is my permanent face now. Get used to it. So she’s yours?

ME

Fuck. You.

GRIGORI

I’ll take that as a yes.

DIMITRI

Looking at him like what? And she’s whose? Who’s his?

My gaze snaps up to Grigori’s, then shifts to Dimitri on the other side of the room whose eyes are glued to his fucking phone.

ME

Wrong chat, dipshit. You’re slipping.

GRIGORI

That’s what happens when I’m doing damage control for your dick.

DIMITRI

What the hell is happening? I swear I miss all the good stuff.

GRIGORI

That’s what all new mothers say *baby bottle emoji*

DIMITRI

Fuck you, dude. She had her hands full with the twins. What was I supposed to do?

GRIGORI

They’re not twins.

ME

Stop. Talking.

GRIGORI

Make me. He might as well know. Everyone’s going to know soon. And you better figure out how to tell Nikolaj in a way that won’t get us all dead.

ME

I’ll tell him as soon as she’s pregnant again.
