“He’s not coming tonight?”
“You do know it’s not intentional. He’s working and his mind is occupied. By the time the night ends, he doesn’t trust that either of us are alert enough not to lead someone to the house.”
“I understand and I want you with him to make sure he’s safe. I’m just starting to feel the distance, you know?”
“Yeah, I understand.”
I scoff. “I know a baby isn’t going to make this better. He’ll never come to see me.”
“I don’t think that’s true. That’s his one weakness. If he were a father, he’d be tied to you, and this would all be over. No Don, no dolls, nothing but you.”
“I doubt that…Jace, I could be having his baby. This would change everything.”
“It would.”
“You’re not upset?”
“No, why would I be?”
“Don’t you want children of your own?”
“Any child you have would be mine too. No matter who’s seed it comes from. I want all of us. Not pieces.”
“I wish there was a way to…” I clamp my mouth shut.
“To what?”
“It’s stupid. Forget it.”
“Nothing you say is stupid. What?”
“I wish I could have a baby by you both. You know, at the same time.”
“It’s not stupid, Ny. Look up superfecundation twins.”
“What? Like insemination? Would they do that?”
“Look it up. It’s not what you think. Hey, baby. Gio’s ready to go. You need me to head up with that for you?”
My stomach starts to hurt as my head spins. I’ll be twenty-one in a few days. Maybe I should wait until then to take a test and tell Gio. The thought takes root and I smile.
“No. Go get some rest. I’ll be fine. Love you, Jace.”
“Love you too, baby. Call me if you need me.”

Jace
I hang up and stare down at my phone. Gio is going to be pissed, but I couldn’t be happier. I’m getting a family. I had hoped to plant the seed about superfecundation twins before this, but I’ll take this baby just the way it’s been made.
“Everything okay?” Gio asks as he settles into the seat beside me.
“Yeah.”
“What’s with the shit-eating grin?”
“Nothing, nothing at all.”
