“She’s really mine?”

“She’s really yours.”

He grabs me and kisses me hard, pouring all his love into me before pulling back. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“At first, you wouldn’t have believed me. Then I remembered what you said about taking the baby, and I was terrified you would. Especially as you’d already shown me how much you didn’t want me in your life anymore.”

He groans like he’s in pain. “God, I fucked up so bad.”

“But you fixed it so good. And I’ll never question if you’re only with me now because of our baby. You loved her before you even knew she was yours.”

I wipe away a stray tear from his face as he frowns.

“Those fuckers. They knew, didn’t they? G and Havoc. That’s why they didn’t push the brothers to come forward for testing.”

“They knew. I wasn’t having sex with anyone else. Only you. They knew we were it for each other, even if we hadn’t quite figured it out ourselves.”

He stares down at the DNA results. “They said I’d never have kids.”

“G did some checking and found your old medical records. It doesn’t say anywhere in your file that you wouldn’t be able to have kids, just that you might find it difficult.”

“That’s not what they said, though?—”

“He lied.”

He looks at me before a wide smile spreads across his face. “He lied.”

I smile back. “Yeah.”

“You’ll give me a dozen babies?”

“As many as you want,” I whisper as he kisses me again before bending down and kissing my bump.

“Daddy can’t wait to meet you, sweet pea.”

I run my fingers through his hair as his cell phone rings. He pulls it out and answers it. “I was just showing Legs the house.”

“I hate to break up the happy moment, but we’ve got a problem.” Havoc sighs, making me brace. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Lil. She’s gone.”

“What do you mean, she’s gone?”

“I mean, she’s gone. She left a note and took off.”

“She wouldn’t just do that.”

“Well, she did, and didn’t do it for shits and giggles. Did Kiki mention Lil at all?”

I look at Legs, knowing she can hear him, and see her shaking her head. “No, Legs says no too.”

“That’s what I was afraid of.”

I lean forward. “What are you getting at? “
