I call Prez as soon as I’m outside.

“Yeah?” he asks as soon as he picks up.

“I need eyes on Lydia. She says she’s fucking knocked up. I can’t be in the club right now,” I tell him.

“Fuck. We’ve got your back, brother,” he says before I hang up.

I drive through town for a couple hours, just getting lost on the road, and decide to head to my parents’. They always supported me and, right now, I need them more than anything.

When I pull up to their house, I can see my father working on his bike in the garage.

“Son. What’s going on?” he asks in a surprised tone.

“I need to talk to you and mom,” I tell him.

He must be able to tell how serious I am in my tone because he nods, and we head inside.

“Carmen? Our boy needs a word,” my father shouts once we are inside.

“What? Oh Zane, what is it?” she asks when she walks around the corner.

I run the back of my head with my hand and sigh. “Well, Lydia just claimed that she is knocked up.”

They are both silent.

“Are you sure? She is a club girl, so it can be anyone’s,” my mother says.

I shake my head. “She was only fucking me for the last few months. I told her we weren’t going to fuck anymore the first day Dani came to the club,” I tell them.

My father narrows his eyes. “That’s suspicious. She could be lying to get you back into her bed.”

I nod my head. “Yeah, I know. I told her I didn’t believe her, and that she wasn’t to leave the club until we went to the doctor.”

“That’s good. You have to take her to someone we trust,” my dad says.

“Some women will go to great lengths to keep a man,” my mom says.

I look at her, and I can tell there is something she isn’t telling me.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I ask.

My mom sighs sadly, and my dad grabs her hand in support. “When we started dating, some club girl claimed the same thing to your father. She wasn’t pregnant though. She wouldn’t even go to the doctor and admitted she was lying after some talking.”

My dad snorts at those words. “Talking. Babe, you scared the shit out of her until she confessed.”

My mom blushes at his words. “Well, I had to put her in her place. You were mine.” She says the last part so fiercely that I can’t help but smile. There is no doubt how much my parents love each other. Anyone can see it in the way they look at and talk to one another.

“Does Dani know?” my dad asks.

“Lydia said she told her the truth, so I think so. I still need to talk to her, but I needed to clear my head first,” I tell them.

“Right now, you need to go to Dani and see where she’s at with this,” my mom says while standing up.

“Where are you going?” I ask as my father gets up and follows her.

“I’m coming to the club,” she says.

“Mom-” I start.
