“Because he will want to do the right thing,” she responds.

“You’re lying,” I say. My stomach feels sick as I think about what this means.

She shakes her head with a smug smile on her face. “It’s not a secret that we had been fucking for months, and he was the only brother I fucked during that time. I will not let my hard work go to waste.”

“Do what you have to do,” I say before leaving the room. I ignore the rest of her words as I make my way to my room, shut the door, and let the tears well in my eyes.

Could this really be over before it started?

If she’s telling the truth and is pregnant, he’s going to want to be a part of the baby’s life. From what I can tell of Lydia, she’s going to make him jump through hoops for that to happen.

Would it be better if I just stepped back now?

He told me they were always protected but, as a nurse, I know that sometimes that isn’t enough.

We may not have had sex yet, but we both knew that’s where this was heading. Fuck. I’m already invested, and we have barely done anything.

I can already feel my heart breaking.

I lock myself in my room for the rest of the day. There is no way I can face him right now.

Zane

When I get back from dropping my brother off at the airport, I immediately want to find Dani. She’s not in the main room where she usually is during the day. Lydia is there with a smirk on her face that immediately sets me on edge.

“What did you do?” I ask, getting straight to the point.

“I told her the truth,” she says simply.

Dani already knows about the relationship I had with Lydia before. I don’t see how that would be a problem.

“What truth?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest.

“That you and I are going to have a baby,” she says before placing a hand on her stomach.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I spit out.

She gives me a smug look. “You know you were the only brother I fucked for months. There is no mistaking that this baby is yours.”

“I don’t believe you,” I rasp out.

Shock goes through my body. She has to be lying.

There is no way she can be pregnant. We were protected every single time.

“Condoms aren’t 100%. Everyone knows that,” she says in a smug tone.

“Then we are going to the doctor, so I know you aren’t lying,” I tell her.

She shrugs like she doesn’t have a care in the world. Like she isn’t about to change my fucking life. I can’t be sure she’s lying until I know. I need it confirmed.

The bigger thing is, I can’t expect Dani to go through something like this with me. We have only known each other for a few days.

I turn to leave. I need to get out of here.

“Where do you think you are going?” she asks me like she has a right to know.

“I can’t fucking look at you right now. Don’t even think about going anywhere. You are locked down here until I know the truth,” I tell her as I storm out.
