Another week had passed, and in that time, Rachel had been going less and less to her place. She’d all but moved in with the child, and most of his stuff was put into the extra room. I was still coaxing her to bring more of her stuff. Eventually, I would talk her into moving in permanently.If only it would be that easy. We had to talk, I knew, not just have sex, which we were doing plenty of in between work. It was a wonder we hadn't been caught yet. Or at least, I thought we hadn't been caught. I was getting sick and tired of running around in secret, though.Tonight, I planned to have her join me in my room for the first time.Because she was coming with more stuff, I’d insisted on her leaving work early to bring him back. I hated the times when she had to call the sitter for him instead of just tagging him along. I hadn't spent much time around him, and the most I did was hear him cry. But, I’d grown used to the thought of him being my son.When I heard a car coming up the drive,

“Hey,” Jason called.I looked over my shoulder from where I was making breakfast for the two of us. We had a bit of a late start for the day, but it was Jack’s first full night sleeping away from home. Jason hadn't minded the noise at night, even helping me out with Jack, and I couldn’t help but feel warm all over just thinking about it.Jason was taking care of both me and Jack.Even though he doesn’t know the full truth yet.I winced as soon as I had the thought, but luckily, he had his arms wrapped around me from behind so he didn’t see.When should I tell him, though? I’d pretty much lost the perfect chance when he came over to my place and found me with little Jack. I should have told him then, talked to him if I needed to. But, I had been afraid, and now, I didn’t know how I was going to tell him after letting the deception go on days.And what the fuck was that? When he asked, giving me another good chance, and my answer was a one-night stand!There was no excuse for that, besi

I walked back to the ranch, feeling like I was walking on air. Things between Rachel and me were going great, wonderful even. The only real problem was that she still hadn't told me the news that I was a father yet. I knew, but I wanted to hear it from her!If she takes much longer though, I’m just going to tell her that I know tonight, I decided. Because I felt like I’d been waiting long enough. She was taking her sweet time coming out with it.I whistled as I came up to the house. There was a car in the driveway beside mine, and I frowned at it. When did that appear? And why did it seem so familiar…? But, I put that out of my mind as I jogged up the stairs. My girl and my toddler were waiting for me, hopefully with a hot meal. What could be more important than that?The moment I got inside the house, though, I regretted not giving it any thought. Because someone jumped me, a soft body molding its soft front to mine as arms went around me. I knew it wasn’t Rachel by hair color alone

There was no way I was just taking Louise's word on this. It was too important. I'd learned my lesson, but I didn't suddenly turn into an idiot.As soon as I made sure Rachel was nowhere in the house, I left. There was food in the kitchen, but I didn't feel like I could eat at all. Louise wouldn't eat it, either, because she was almost always on a diet and watching her calorie intake. A nice, wholesome ranch meal was beyond her.Hopefully, I can convince her to come back soon. We could warm it up for dinner, even.But first, I needed to see a doctor, to see what could be done about the situation with Louise.It was the first time I went back to the hospital after I was told Grandpa Nathan had died. My throat choked up a little as I pulled into the parking lot. I took a minute to breathe and settle myself, then stepped out of the car. I’d have to get over it at some point, though I somehow doubted the guilt would be so easily forgotten.I stopped by the reception and was directed to a

I pulled Jason with me inside and closed the door.“Where’s Jack?” he asked, looking around.I felt a warmth in my chest when Jason asked about him. If there had been one thing I was anxious about Jason and I being together, it was how he would take to being with Jack. He hadn't spent much time around Jack the times I’d taken him to the ranch. I’d caught him looking a few times, before rushing away like hungry wolves were at his heels, and I hadn't been sure how to take that reaction.But he looked all concerned now as he looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of my son, that I couldn’t help but be happy.“He’s sleeping in the bedroom,” I told him, pulling him over to the couch and coaxing him to sit down. “I have the baby monitor here so I can hear when he wakes up. Though, this place is small enough that if he cried in the room, I could hear him.”Jason looked around the room, and I fidgeted beside him, my fingers playing with the hem of my top as I wondered exactly what he wanted

It hurt to leave Rachel at her place and go back to the ranch. But, Rachel had thought it would be better if she and Louise didn’t interact too much. I agreed, but I still didn’t like it.Louise, of course, was still at the ranch when I got back later that evening. Like getting rid of her would be that easy.“Hey, there, Jason,” she called as soon as I walked into the house. She was coming down the stairs, still in the get up from earlier, holding her phone in one hand and her purse in the other. She must have been left alone and had to entertain herself while I was out late having fun with Rachel.A part of me felt ashamed. But, I had warned her that I didn’t have the time to be looking after her.“Why are you still here?” I asked her. “Don’t you have things to do in the city? A party to attend maybe? Friends, to visit?”“Aww,” she pouted. “But I’m already visiting someone, and that’s you. Is that your subtle way of telling me to get lost?”I sighed. “If I wanted to tell you to get l

I went to the ranch the next morning. I’d thought long and hard about it, and I’d wondered to myself.Why the fuck am I hiding?Sure, that girl, Louise, could claim to be Jason’s city girlfriend, but he’d already said it wasn’t like that between them. And, even though there was a part of me that felt insecure just looking at her, I knew I didn’t have to feel like that.“We’re going on a trip,” I sang to Jack as I packed up the stuff of his that I’d brought along.Then I picked up my son, and his luggage, and left my apartment. I’d called for a taxi already and would be paying with the money Jason had insisted on lending me when he left yesterday.I arrived at the ranch, all but ready for war. The taxi driver helped me carry my things over to the door, and I gave him a generous tip, then he was driving off. I turned to the house, taking a deep breath as I walked slowly up the porch steps. The door opened before I got to it, and Jason stood there, smiling happily at me.“Hey,” he said,

“I still can't believe this is happening,” I muttered under my breath.Rachel, who was by my side with her arm wrapped around mine, smiled up at me. “What? That you’d get an excuse to dress in a dashing suit again? That we’d be here in the same place with your brother and you both aren’t being such damn grouches about it?”I frowned at her. “Noah getting married,” I emphasized. “And us being so friendly that I’m joining the wedding after receiving an invitation.”She gave me a curious look. “Why is that?”I opened my mouth to give her an answer, only to stop and snap my mouth closed. Exactly what could I tell her, anyway? Noah and I…used to get along as kids. We were twins, after all, and spent most of the time together. I couldn’t remember when we’d drifted apart, and somewhere in between, I’d grown to distrust and dislike for my brother, and he the same.But, why did I dislike him in the first place? I couldn’t pinpoint a reason. Had it… Been some stupid sibling thing for all those
