I’ve never hated a human the way I hated Alex Esteves.

He was smug. He was mouthy. He was everywhere. And worst of all? He was Conan’s best friend.

Which left me with one very specific problem: if I broke every bone in his irritating little body like I wanted to, Conan would hate me. Maybe even leave me. But if I didn’t, I might actually explode from the pressure of tolerating him.

By the time I reached his apartment, my jaw was clenched so hard it felt like it might crack. I barely remembered the drive. My hands were locked on the steering wheel the whole way there, and the sound of the engine wasn’t nearly loud enough to drown out the rage building in my head.

And this place? His building looked like it hadn’t seen maintenance since the invention of indoor plumbing. Flickering hallway lights, weak security, thin walls. Conan came here? Frequently?

I stomped up the stairs and knocked once.

Nothing.

I knocked again—harder, sharper.

Finally, the door swung open and there he was

    “Hey, it’s been at least a week and a half. How was your lovers’ quarrel?” Alex asked the second I slid into the passenger seat. “You’re an ass,” I snapped, punching his arm. “Ow! What kind of preggo punches people that hard?” Alex shot back, rubbing his shoulder. “I could be driving a girl around right now, you know.” “But you’re not. Because women don’t like you,” I said with a smirk. “Bitch. Your stomach looks like it’s about to pop.” “Yeah, there’s like a week or so left.” “Is it even okay to be out like this right now?” he asked, glancing at me warily. “I’m sure it’s fine,” I said casually. “Plus, Levi isn’t upset at all. He even encouraged me to go hang out with you. We just have to come back early.” “Look at all the good I’ve done,” Alex grumbled. “Just to be smacked around and unappreciated.” I shot him a sideways glance. “You’re just such an asshole though. Anyway… this is a nice car. Not better than Levi’s though.” “It’s unfair to compare the rich and the poor,” Al

    There were only ten days left until Conan gave birth, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how fast everything had gone. It felt like yesterday I was dragging him home after finding out he was pregnant—and now, here we were. I caught him staring down at his belly like it still didn’t feel real to him. “There really isn’t much time left,” Conan said quietly, his fingers absentmindedly tracing the curve of his stomach. Since our fight a while back, Conan had retracted what he said about feeling smothered and started letting me dote on him again—but I took his words to heart anyway. Even if it was hard, I gave him space when he needed it. One night without him had been enough to make me realize I didn’t want to push him that far again. “We still have to settle on a name to tell everyone for now,” he added. We’d gone through countless options but still hadn’t chosen one. Nothing stuck. So we decided to wait—see what felt right when the time came. “The little one will come out just fine

    I lay back in Alex’s bed, staring up at the ceiling, feeling more exhausted than I had any right to be. Not physically—though pregnancy had me beat most days—but emotionally. I was drained. The room was quiet except for the faint ticking of the wall clock. I was too miserly to actually spend the money on a hotel, not when I’d been slowly building up my secret “escape fund,” but now the lumpy mattress beneath me made me question that decision. I shifted to my side, pulling the blanket tighter around me. The only thing I could really think about was the look on Levi’s face. The way his eyes had looked like glass when I’d shut that taxi door. The rearview mirror had caught the exact moment he broke, and it played over and over in my mind like some twisted loop. He looked like I’d stabbed him. I exhaled, rubbing a hand across my forehead. “I did the right thing, right?” I asked aloud when Alex came in, tossing me an extra pillow like I was some honored guest in his apartment. “You we

    I sat down on the icy bench at the park, letting out a long, exhausted breath. For once, despite the cold seeping through my coat and into my bones, it felt good to be outside. My back ached, my feet were swollen, and my ankles hated me, but at least I wasn’t being hovered over for the first time in what felt like forever. Levi had been suffocating. Not in the bad way—but definitely in the overwhelming, “I love you so much I’m going to stare at you for ten hours straight” way. If he wasn’t massaging my feet or monitoring how many bites I took, he was scowling at anyone who even looked at me in public. His obsession with rubbing my belly every three minutes was almost endearing… until it wasn’t. I had to beg his dad to take him to work today. Force him, even. He almost faked a stomach flu just to stay home and hold my ankles or whatever weird thing he felt like doing today. “Look at that guy’s stomach!” I turned my head slowly. Some kids were building a snowman just a few feet awa

    “It’s cold, so make sure you stay buttoned up,” I told Conan, tugging his coat tighter around him and slipping his mittens on. “It’s fine, I’m riding in the car,” he grumbled, waddling along like the roundest, cutest angry penguin the pack had ever seen. The past month had been nothing short of bliss. Tensions at the border were dying down, Elder Tom was finally talking about formally introducing Conan to the rest of the elders after the baby was born—and I’d somehow managed to avoid a full week of border duty just in time to celebrate. That celebration, of course, was a little something Conan didn’t see coming. “Oh, there’s something on the windshield,” I said casually as we approached the car. “Can you get me the wiper from the trunk?” He waddled to the back, muttering something under his breath, and popped the trunk open. Then— Thud! The hood of the trunk came down and smacked the bottom of his chin. “Motherfucker!” he barked, stumbling back and collapsing to the ground, h
