Cobie choked out, “Gage, can we um…can we talk. Alone?”
Shifting my eyes from Larkin to Jenna they both nodded.
Dafuq is goin on?
Bringing my eyes to Cobie I said, “Sure. We can go to my room.” Turning I started walking back down the hall, not looking to see if she was following. Pushing my bedroom door open I took a few steps in before stopping to make sure Cobie was in the room with me. She was just inside my bedroom door. Her hands twisted in a knot in front of her. She looked like she could bolt at any minute. Or break into hysterics.
Trying to sound as nice as possible I asked, “What the hell was that about?” I motioned toward the way we had just come. The room holding Larkin, who at any minute, I was sure was going to come barreling down my hallway and beat the shit outta me.
Looking all around my room, looking everywhere but at me Cobie shrugged.
“Bullshit Cobie. You knew shit would hit the fan if your brother ever found out what happened. Why the fuck would you tell him?” I took a step toward her, wanting her to look at me.
Keeping her eyes from looking at me her voice cracked when she said, “I had to tell him.”
Feeling my temper rise. I angrily bit out, “What? Why the hell would you have to tell him? Are you fucking Catholic, did you have to repent your sins and he was the priest? There is not one goddamn reason he needed to know.”
Cobie finally looked me in the eye s. Her dark brown eyes filled with tears. Barely speaking she said, “I’m pregnant.”
I felt my throat tightening, it was hard to breath. I stared at her . She was pregnant? Just because she was pregnant doesn’t mean I’m the father. Right?
“What does that have to do w ith me?” I asked, feigning ignorance.
Letting a few tears escape she narrowed her eyes and venomously said, “You’re the fucking father, Gage. What the hell do you think? You really think I would tell my brother we fucked for the hell of it? That night I walked away with a little more than a sexy memory. I got pregnant. By you.”
I was the father? I was going to be a father. Talking more to myself than Cobie I said, “Holy shit. I’m having a baby?”
Blinking a few times I stared at Cobie’s stomach. My baby was in there. Without thinking I started reaching out to touch her stomach.
Cobie flinched as my hand rested on her still flat stomach. Her tears falling freely now she muttered, “We’re having a baby.”
Taking two steps so I was standing flush with her, I pulled her head into my chest and wrapped my arms around her tiny body.
Cobie cried, “It was supposed to be one night. One night just turned into eighteen years. How can we be parents, Gage? We’re not together, hell we’re not even friends.”
Rubbing her back I said, “We will get through it. No, we’re not together but we will make it work.”
“I always pictured myself being married before having a baby. Not getting pregnant by my brothers best friend while I was still in college. This isn’t how my life was supposed to be.” Cobie sobbed, soaking my shirt.
Sighing I mumbled, “Nothing in life is what we planned. Life is misery.”
She sniffed and wiped under her eyes. Using her hands she pushed away from me. “Gage, I never meant for this to happen. I swear. If this is going to make you miserable, you don’t have to do it. I can do this on my own.”
Gripping both her shoulders, I leaned down and looked her in the eyes. “Cobie, I helped put you in this mess. I won’t walk away from it. I’m in this with you. This baby is the furthest thing from misery. Hell, this baby is the first thing to happen in my life lately that isn’t miserable. This is you and me for the next eighteen years, got it?”
T aking a deep breath she nodded. A small smile forming on her face. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to jump in not thinking then turn and run. I want our baby to have a daddy but more than that I want you to want to be a daddy. I don’t want you
