This little being was going to be reliant on me. Her mother is already a fucking handful I can’t imagine what the fuck this kid is gonna do to my life. She showed me the other stuff she bought and I calmed down a little, but I kept taking looks at her tummy, silently making deals with the kid to stay in there a little bit longer. Have mercy.
Life had turned out pretty well for us. Once we got settled in the tongues started wagging, but pretty soon they were on to something else, when the whole sordid Doug mess came to light.
He’d been sent away for a little less time than I had after making a deal. I got the business because there was no way in hell I was ever doing shit with him again and financially we were on decent standing. My lawyer was still trying to sue the shit out of the state or some shit and I told him to have at it. He was more pissed than I was that he’d let an innocent man go to jail.
Asshole number two had tried for months to talk her into coming back and though she tried hiding those calls from me I always knew when she’d received one, because she’d always go back to being gloomy.
I got tired of his shit and paid him a visit. I explained that my ‘wife’ we’d been married two weeks after moving back, was having my child and didn’t need the stress and if he didn’t knock it off I’d make good on my threat and knock his lights out.
He was gone the following month. Last I heard he was living with one of the women from his firm. I think it was the one he tried hooking me up with. Once he was out of the picture things calmed down and it was just us.
Everything was about the baby from the time she peed on the stick and it said yes. I didn’t mind, I was excited as fuck and secretly tickled when we learned months later that it was a girl. The boys would come later, but every badass needs a little girl to keep his ass grounded.
The way I was before, it was good that I had the two of them to keep my ass in check. Just knowing that I had these two in my life, needing me, depending on me, I steered clear of the shit that can trip you up in a small town like this.
There was no hanging out in bars and going with the guys for long weekends, except for the odd fishing day here and there. But I never left her alone for too long. I was an overprotective asshole to be honest, but once you’ve seen the worse the world has to offer that’ shit comes naturally.
She eased her girth into the rocking chair that I’d built for the nursery and sighed like she’d taken a load off. “Feet hurt?” I put aside my fear and knelt at her feet to rub some life back into them.
Not for nothing, but if my kids ever disrespect their mother I’d slam their asses. The shit this kid was doing to her body was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Not to mention her damn head.
I found her one day last week sitting on the side of the bed crying her eyes out. When I rushed into the room ready to end a motherfucker, she blubbered all over me and told me what all the fuss was about. She couldn’t tie her shoelace.
I did it for her and then held her on my lap for the next twenty minutes until she came back to her senses. When it wasn’t the shoes or underwear that she could no longer see to get into, it was her weight.
She’d bitch and moan about being fat and I wasn’t the one to tell her that maybe if she didn’t eat half the nasty shit she did maybe she wouldn’t have gained fifty pounds. No sir, learned my lesson there too. I once jokingly compared her to orca and she brained my ass. She didn’t care that it was a joke, or that she was the one that started that shit. Then I had to hear from my mom and my dad about being insensitive and got a lecture about hormones.
Afterwards dad had pulled me aside and schooled me like he seriously thought I found my pregnant wife unattractive. Nothing could be farther from the truth, which she could attest to if her head wasn’t fucked from hormone imbalance or some shit. As often as I’m in her you’d think she knows.
I rubbed her back and got up to get dinner started while she rested on het couch. I was in there fifteen minutes tops when her screeching sent me running. “What?” I saw what two seconds after I asked. There was a puddle between her feet on the floor. Aw damn.
