As I glanced over at Heather, she was watching Victoria walk away. She started to turn back toward Brad, but then she caught my eye and gave me a wink. I had no idea what that was all about, but the fire in Heather’s eyes turned me the hell on. I smiled back at her and shook my head.
“Y’all want to meet Maegan Ann?” Brad asked.
“Oh, I love that name, Brad!” Heather hugged him.
“My god, Heather…you’re getting bigger. ” Brad laughed.
“Yep! We found out today that it’s a boy and a girl. ” She looked back at Gunner.
I shook my head and followed everyone to Amanda’s room.
After we all piled in, Amanda made everyone wash their hands—twice—and then we had to also use sanitizer. Finally, we all took turns holding Maegan. She was beautiful, and my heart swelled up so much at the sight of her. I couldn’t wait to hold my own little girl and boy.
I watched as Heather was holding and singing to Maegan. I need to get her home.
I leaned over to Gunner. “Does it make me an ass if I want to stop and get a room tonight for Heather and me?”
Gunner looked at me and smiled. “Fuck no, dude. When we dropped Alex off at Sharon’s, I’d already asked her if she could keep Alex all night. Got me and my girl a room at The Driskill. ”
I just shook my head. “Fucker. Of course you did. ”
Gunner started laughing as he shrugged his shoulders.
I excused myself and walked back to the waiting room where I pulled up the number for Hotel Ella. I reserved a room for Heather and me, and I was just hanging up when Gunner slapped the shit out of my back.
“Well?”
“Hotel Ella. ” I smiled.
“Nicely done,” Gunner said with a wink.
“So, what brings you two handsome men to the maternity scene?” Victoria said from behind me.
I closed my eyes as I let out a breath. Why won’t this girl just go away?
Gunner glanced at her and gave her a dirty look.
“What? I don’t even get a hello from the two men who know me oh-so well. ”
I turned around and just glared at her. “Really, Tori? What part of fuck off don’t you get?”
She threw her head back and laughed. “You really mean to tell me that you two…” She looked us both up and down. “Are happy being married? Just being with one girl all the time? Somehow, I don’t see it. ”
“Well, look harder. Honestly, Victoria, begging doesn’t become anyone, not even a dog,” I said.
Victoria’s smile faded, and she tilted her head as she gave me a go-to-hell look. “You weren’t that great in bed anyway. Neither of you were. ” She turned and walked away.
I shook my head as I turned back to Gunner.
He was watching her walk away. “Fuck. ”
“What? I think she might leave us alone now,” I said.
Gunner shook his head and turned to me. “Yeah…but I wanted to know which one of us was better. ”
My mouth dropped, and I just stared at him. “What?”
“You or me. Which one of us was better? I mean, I’m sure she would say I was. ”
