“And did Mommy miss me?” Nathan smirked as he sat down next to me.

“You know I did.” I smiled and kissed him.

“I’m going over to Lily’s. We’re going to kick the soccer ball around. Let me know when the food gets here.” Ella flew out the sliding door.

“When did Nicholas have a bottle?” I asked Nathan.

“Just before we left the medical center. June fed him while she ordered Brandon around.”

I let out a laugh.

“So, tell me something.” Nathan played with my hair.

“Tell you what?”

“Julia’s pregnant, isn’t she?” His brow arched.

“What? Why would you say that?”

“I put two and two together. First, your questions about vasectomies, and second, I saw her leaving Georgia’s office, and it looked like she’d been crying.”

“Oh, God. Please don’t say anything. She hasn’t told Sam yet, and she’s scared.”

“Scared of what?” His brows furrowed.

“That Sam is going to think she cheated on him.”

“Sam would never—”

“Really?” I cocked my head. “What was the first question you asked when you thought it was about Sasha’s coworker?”

“But Sam would—”

“Let’s say you got a vasectomy, and a few years later, I got pregnant. You’re going to sit there and tell me that your first thought wouldn’t be that I cheated on you?”

“Shit.” He ran his hand down his face.

“So, when she tells him, you need to be right there in his face and tell him what you told me. Now, order dinner. I’m hungry.”

CHAPTER14

Nathan

After we finished eating, I cleaned up, grabbed a beer from the fridge, and headed down to the beach.

“Hey, Sammy.” I placed my hand on his shoulder before sitting in the lounger beside him.

“Hey, Nate.” A smirk crossed his lips.

“Lorelei, you little princess.” I smiled as I ran my hand down the back of her head.

“She’s been extra clingy since I got home from work.”

“Douchebags.” Simon grinned as he sat down. “Where are the rest of the douchebags?”

Sebastian walked up behind him and smacked the back of his head.

“Ouch. What the fuck, bro?”
