Cole – She told me she’s pregnant with my baby.

Madalyn – What the fuck?

Me – You never even had sex with her.

Sage – I’ll stomp her ass.

Zada – Ready and willing.

Isiah – Heard that too.

Isiah – Told everyone it was a bunch of shit.

Lola – I’ll kick her ass.

Hattie – I’ll help.

Ryder – She’s pregnant with Grant’s baby.

Melanie – She’s a whore.

Zaden – He asked my best friend out last week.

Granger – He’s a tool.

Logan – Why’d she tell you that?

Me – Cause I made it known I was going into the military.

I put my phone down as I looked at the stuff on my bed.

Just then, my dad came in and smiled, “Proud of you, son.”

I smiled, “Thanks, Dad.”

Then my mom came in, with a few things in her hands, “This stuff wasn’t on the list, and it should have been.”

She knew.

Then she dropped the pile on the bed, then she had me in her arms, “I love you, baby. I’m so fucking proud of you I could burst with it.”

I wrapped my arm around Cassie’s waist as we waved Krispin off.

And the moment the man with the clipboard read out, “Krispin Griggs”, he lifted his brow.

Then I heard him ask, “You related to Alec Griggs?”

To that, Krispin turned his head, locked eyes with me, and smiled, “Yeah. He’s my dad.”

I felt a swarm of pride assail me every time he called me dad.

And now, twelve years later, it was still there.

Then the man lifted a brow, “And your mom is Cassie Griggs.”

Krispin chuckled, “Oh yeah.”
