was
cold. “I sat on your lap at that bonfire, and one of your brothers commented
how pretty a couple we made. Teased you about settling down and starting a
family before your cock fell off from all the fucking around. I literally was
right there when you announced to several witnesses, and I quote, ‘it’ll be a
cold fucking day in hell, before that happens.’” She raised her brows again,
interrupting him when he went to respond, “We had a wild ride, after which you
told me to get lost. I wasn’t going to come waltzing back in there to tell you,
congratulations, you got your pussy of the day pregnant with a kid you very
loudly said you didn’t want. I’m trying hard here to stay rational and not
scream right back at you, the hormones make it difficult to keep a lid on it,
so please, as calmly as you can manage, tell me where I went wrong.”
     
    He spun away from her to pace back and forth on the other
side of the counter, gulping in as much air as he could get, even though he was
back to feeling like he had to puke. He tried to come up with an answer,
because she was so fucking wrong, but not about what he’d said. He didn’t want
kids. From the day his mother died, he’d sworn he would never have children.
She hadn’t said anything that wasn’t correct, and for a pregnant woman, she was
being very reasonable, but fuck all if that didn’t make him even madder. “I had
a fucking right to have a say in this,” He finally came up with that, and she
waved her hand at him, “Okay. So, say it.”
    “You’re keeping it.” He bit out, and she shrugged, “Yeah?”
she said it like it was already a fact, clearly misunderstanding. “You’re
keeping it. No adoption, no getting rid of it, no foster home shit.” Her brow
creased in a serious frown, both hands going down to that little bump like she
was shielding that seed inside her from him. There was even a touch of horror
to the tears that filled her eyes, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” She
seethed, and no lie, the tears that slid down her pale cheeks cut at him. Made
him bleed when he was already hemorrhaging, and she didn’t stop. “I didn’t tell
you because you didn’t want this. I don’t expect your help, I really don’t
fucking want it, I can do this on my own.”
     
    He shook his head, and then saw something that made the words
back up in his throat like a ten car pileup. Made his chest burn. There was a
rocking chair by the fire place, and a blanket draped over the back of it. Or
the beginnings of one, and a very familiar shirt pinned to it. “That my shirt?”
He croaked, and when he tore his eyes away from it, he saw Everly for the first
time fidget with embarrassment, “Yeah. You can um, have it back if you want
it.” For her to show this much embarrassment, it was probably a big deal. A
huge deal. “Why is it on that blanket?” She twisted her fingers in the hem of
her shirt, trying and failing to regain the confident look on her face. Unable
to look him in the eyes now, “It’s nothing. Just something I was doing to ah,
pass the time.”
    “I am not going to ask again. Why is my shirt on that
blanket?”
     
    She huffed and rolled her eyes, the green gold orbs
glistening with tears as she refused to look at him. A few fell and she hastily
swiped at them grumbling about her stupid hormones, heading back for the
kitchen to bang the tea kettle back down on the stove. “I thought about telling
you. I struggled with it. For real, but in the end I decided that I didn’t have
the emotional stability to deal with it if you rejected us or told me to get
rid of it or something. I messed up with my birth control, this is my mistake,
I’m sorry and I want it.”
    “Everly, god damnit, why-“
    “Because, asshole! Even if he never knew your face, I wanted
him to know what it felt like to have his father’s arms around him. Okay?”

    The silence that followed her emotional, exasperated shout
was deafening.
