Oh God, why didn’t I call James or Carol?

“Well, it's about time you woke up bitch!” a voice echoes, and I look around and notice a blurry figure walking toward me.

I blink several times, trying to clear my eyes. When she comes closer, my vision finally clears up, and I gasp in shock.

Nina!

I suck in a breath as another contraction hits, and Nina grins. “That’s it bitch, give me my baby so I can punish my man for impregnating you!”

Please, no!

Tears spring to my eyes as I try to stop my body from pushing, causing sweat to form on my face, the pressure building.

“Don’t try and resist it, Brooky…” Nina goads.

My breathing stutters, my head going light.

“I-I can’t-can’t breathe….” I gasp, but Nina giggles like a crazy woman, clapping her hands excitedly.

I try to yank my arms again as another pain shoots through my lower abdomen, and I start to unwillingly push.

“Please, no, no, p-please…” I cry.

Nina moves over to me, shoving my legs open and exposing me. She cackles as she puts her hands between my legs, causing me to sob.

“There’s my baby; keep pushing bitch!” she sneers.

I shake my head, my body doing as it’s told, naturally pushing my baby out while I feel like I’m dying.

I try to kick her out of the way, but she ignores me as another large contraction hits, and then suddenly a cry sounds, echoing in the room, and Nina giggles, standing up with my screaming child in her arms.

My baby….

I try to move to grab my baby, but everything blurs, my body feeling weak. Nina’s words just hit my ears when everything goes blank.

“Looks like I don’t need to kill you after all; your body is doing it for me. Nighty night, Brooky.”

“Did you know Momma and Brook have been spending that $50,000 Momma tried to give her to pay her off?” I inform my dad with a grin as we walk into Momma’s apartment building.

Dad laughs.

“Yeah, apparently Brook only agreed to spend it if they put $25,000 into a trust for the baby.” I smile wider as I push open the door to the staircase, the elevator broken, and start walking up to the second floor.

Dad sighs. “I fucking hate picking your momma up from here….”

I nod. “I know, Dad. I tried to convince her to come live with me. Heck, Snake, and Smokey offered their guest rooms, but she refused; she’s stubborn. It doesn't help that she's going to school again, and enjoying being independent. I'm pretty sure I saw some guy flirting with her when I picked her up from the school where she's working. He looked a little bit older than her.”

Dads her whips my way in shock, his body shakes in anger, and he blows, “She shouldn’t need to stay at the prez’s house or the VPs, or her fucking son’s, and she definitely shouldn’t be staying here; she should be at home with me, and I swear to fucking God, if a guy is trying to flirt with my fucking woman, I'll kill him. She's fucking mine!” I internally wince as we walk through the doorway of the stairs to see Momma standing outside her open door with a raised brow, her arms crossed, not at all looking impressed, clearly hearing him in the echoed stairwell, but Dad just shakes his head and growls, “Don’t give me that look, Bumblebee; I miss my fucking wife. I’ve given you time, dated you again, and ensured you have come first, yet you're still in this dump, and don’t try and tell me it isn’t…. I saw the fucking mold last week!” Momma doesn’t say anything, just tilts her head. Dad grumbles, “It’s been fucking months since I’ve had you in my arms at night, and I’m ready to fucking pack you up, throw you over my shoulder, and take you home, especially if some fucking guy thinks he can flirt with my fucking wife. Mine!”

Welp, I definitely got my alpha from my father....

Momma snorts. “Well, that didn’t take long for you to snap; I thought you’d last at least another three more weeks. Looks like I owe Brook a new bag.”

Furrowing my brows, I look at momma, really look at her, and a smile starts to form. Her bags are gone, she’s gained a little weight, wearing jeans and a sweater, looking more like my mother, and she seems, fuck, she looks healthy, happy, and fuck me, she’s fucking with dad, wanting to see how long it would take for him to snap.
