“That’s my boy!” Alistair exclaimed. “That’s that Wrenford right hook!”“Grayson!” I gasped. “I’m sorry, but what the fuck is wrong with him?” Grayson shook his hand out. My dad stumbled up from the floor, his nose bleeding. “Scott, are you okay?” Sophia asked in alarm.Dad snatched the tissue from her hand and quickly wiped his nose before standing up and walking around the table over to Grayson. Oh no.He hit Grayson before tackling him to the ground.“Daddy enough!” I cried. Lee tried to break them up but he pretty much ended up getting involved. The other men finally intervened and it just became a mess of fists and cursing. Every single man involved in this scuffle was going to be in my children’s lives. The most important men in their lives at that. I had to pick a really good godfather for each so they could have some kind of stability. Finally everything simmered down and Grayson and my dad were separated. “You’re never coming anywhere near my child!” Grayson screamed.
“Do you think the house will be easy to baby proof?” Grayson asked.“Can we get carpet on the stairs to make them less slippery?” Lee questioned.“Oh, maybe we can get like an elevator in here?”“Guys, please!” I groaned. “Can you at least introduce yourself first!”“Right,” Grayson laughed. “I’m Grayson Wrenford.”“And I’m Lee Windsor.” He shook her hand.“And I’m Scarlett Watson.”“I’m Mei, so nice to meet you all.”Mei was a very pretty Asain woman with perfectly done black hair. She had stylish glasses over her bright brown eyes and she had a warm smile. I could see how she sold houses so easily. I would buy anything from her.“So we’re thinking about baby proofing at some point. Which two of you are expecting?” Mei questioned. “Oh all of us,” I smiled. “There’s two passengers on board and one belongs to each of them.”That was just the easiest way to explain it. Mei’s eyes widened, before she shook it off. “Wow, that’s um…very new age!”“That’s a fun way of putting it,” I laugh
“You went with house three?!” Lee demanded. “And you didn’t even tell us?!”“Did you even consider the houses that we picked out?” Grayson accused. “Yes I did actually, much more than I should have. I’m the only one who is guaranteed to be living in this house so why the hell would I get anyone else’s opinion on it?” I asked. “One of us is going to live there though!”“Sure, if you’re lucky.”“You went behind our backs and had our parents buy the house!” Lee exclaimed. “You two sure are quick to forget that I told them to buy me a house. Not you two! I’m letting you live in my house.” I reminded them. “I liked house number three and that’s where I’ll live. You two don’t like it? Live somewhere else!”The both looked disgruntled, but there was nothing they could do.I held the babies, so I held the power. --“I’ve never heard a worse idea,” Skyler admitted when I told her about the three of us living together. “I know, but what else can I do? I can’t be carted back and forth on a
“Well this is a PR nightmare!” Belinda cried out.“It's not that bad, mom.” Grayson assured her. “I mean people were going to find out soon enough right?”“Yes, but I wanted us to be able to control that narrative, Grayson. It's not easy to announce that Scarlett is pregnant by two men simultaneously.”It really does make me sound like a slut.“It was that EJ guy Scar, I just know it!” Skyler exclaimed.“No way, he's in the pictures too!”“Who is EJ?” Hal asked.“He's the scholarship kid at Wrenford.” I answered.“EJ?” Alistsair asked.“See they don't even know him!” Skyler stated.“Do you mean Elliot Choi?” Belinda questioned.“Yes, Choi is his last name. He must go by EJ. See?” I raised my eyebrows.“Alright he's cleared for now.”“So what do we do?” Lee asked.“A press conference.” Alistair sighed. “We should tell the public before they find out on their own.”“We’re moving in next week, someone would have noticed we all go to the same house,” I pointed out. “While I’m not thrilled
I walked back into the house.“Scarlett, what is he doing here?” Grayson asked getting up protectively. “I’m not here to fight,” Dad said quietly. “I’m here to apologize. I’m sorry to the both of you for how I’ve treated you.”“Scarlett, can we talk in the kitchen real quick?” Lee asked. “Just one second Dad.” I whispered before following the boys in the kitchen. “What’s up?”“Scar, he can't stay here.” Grayson said quietly. “He’s dangerous.”“He’s not staying, he just wants to talk. Gray…he wants to get better. He said so. I can help him.”“That’s not your job,” Lee stated. “I know but…all my life he’s been sick. I can help change that now. No one can get help on their own.” I declared. “I have to at least try right?”They exchanged looks, but I think they realized I was going to do this no matter what they said. They nodded. “The first sign of him being violent and that’s it.” Grayson said fimly. “The babies have to come first.”“Okay, I promise.” I gave them both kisses on the
I kind of adored EJ’s simple Honda CRV.It was dark green and had funny stickers on the back of it. It was a nice break from the Teslas and Benzs and BMWs I had been driving around in since I got caught up with two rich boys. “So what were you doing there?” EJ asked. “It looked a little sketchy there.”“I was with my Dad. He was attending an AA meeting.”“Oh, sorry. Didn’t mean to sound so judgmental.”“It’s fine. The building is a little sketchy, but it’s nice inside. Thanks for coming to get me.” I smiled. “I thought you would have something better to do on a Saturday evening.”“Oh not me,” EJ chuckled. “I don’t have many friends. I didn’t realize people wouldn’t really like the scholarship kid.”“Give it a few months, you’ll find some great people the way I did.” I assured him as I shifted uncomfortably. “Is everything okay? I’m sorry my car kinda sucks. I’m sure it’s not as good as the fancy cars you’re used to.”“It’s okay, I’m just cramping cuz of the babies. It’s not your car
Thanksgiving was easily one of my favorite holidays. You just get to eat a bunch of food with the people you love the most. Or the people who annoy the most. “Are you sure you want to go to your mom’s?” Grayson asked. “She has a new boyfriend that she wants me to meet, so yes.”“We could go with you.” Lee offered.“It’s okay. I’m just going to be with my mom, nothing can happen there. Plus…I need some space.”“Space?”“Yes, you guys are like in my pocket and it’s killing me! I love you so much, but an hour or two away from you guys where I’m not working might be really nice.” I admitted. “Right…okay.” Grayson muttered. “I guess that’s fine. But how will you get there?”“One of you can drop me off. And then Lee will pick me up, I’ll go to his family lunch, you can meet us at my dad’s and then take me to your parent’s.”“Huh, that’s actually not a bad schedule.”“See I’m not just beautiful, I got brains too,” I grinned. “So?”“Yeah, sure, of course.” Lee nodded. “If that’s what you
I was kind of relieved when we left the Windsors.Hal was stressing both Lee and me out about the future of our baby. The baby was the size of maybe a cantelope and its life was already being planned out for it.“I’m so sorry about all of that,” Lee sighed. “My father…well you know by now.”“He’s just excited. It’s his first grandchild, you know?”“I guess. I just wish he wasn’t so obnoxious about it.”“I know, Lee, I’m sorry.” I whispered. “On the bright side I’m about to have the first Thanksgiving in forever where my dad won’t be drunk out of his mind.” I smiled. A grin slowly spread across Lee’s face. “Yeah, I guess that is pretty amazing.” Grayson was already there when we arrived. He was waiting for us outside. “Why didn’t you go in?” I asked. “Your dad still makes me kind of nervous.,” Grayson admitted. “Glad I’m not the only one,” Lee chuckled as I rang the doorbell.“Oh you’re here!” Sophia smiled. “Come in!”We walked in the house and I was shocked to see Joel in the li
