your belly showing your due date. If it ever comes up, you just say you’re five weeks behind what you are.”
    “Oh everyone is going to think I was cheating on him, just like that cop said the other day. He was wondering if I was playing you two against each other.” I cover my face.
    “Like I said, we won’t tell anyone for a while, then we’ll tell them we hooked up later. I mean Huck saw us this morning and he knows there was nothing before. We won’t tell anyone anything for a little while, okay? I’m going to take care of you and this baby.”
    Sly holds out my pants to help me put them on. “You can’t claim this child, Sly.”
    He pulls up my pants and buttons them. “Well, I just did.”

 
    CHAPTER 12
     
    SLY
    What in the hell did I just do? I just claimed a kid that I know isn’t mine. She needs me though. Kara needs me and if I’m being honest with myself, I need her.
    We’re still sitting in the parking lot of the doctor’s building and she’s shaking her head. “You can’t do this, Sly. This is just crazy. I- we- a baby-. It’s just. Oh my God.” She starts crying again and buries her face in her hands. “No, this can’t be happening. I can’t do this. I can’t be a mom to a kid of a crazy person.”
    “Sweetie, you need to calm down. It isn’t good for the baby,” I say as I reach across the console to hold her hand.
    She snatches it back. “Damn it, Sly! I’m being fucking serious. Even if we do pull this off and Drake never knows, how will we eventually explain this to the baby? How are you going to explain this to the girls you wanna hook up with?”
    I glare at her, “I told you this morning that this was more than just sex.”
    She rolls her eyes. “I’m sure you didn’t think that would mean a kid right off the bat. I’m not holding you to all of this.” She pulls out her phone.
    “Wait. What are you doing?”
    “I’m calling Sloan.” She starts swiping stuff on her phone.
    “Don’t do that.” I try to reach for her phone. “Look, let’s get back to the house and talk about this, like seriously talk about it. Okay?”
    She looks down at her feet and then out the window, laying her phone in her lap. “Okay,” she says just above a whisper.
    We stay quiet the rest of the way home and as I pull in the driveway, I notice she’s asleep. I get out and go around to her side, lifting her gently and taking her inside. As we walk through the foyer, she wakes up. “Sly?”
    “Hey, sexy, you fell asleep. You need your rest so I’m going to put you in your bed, then I’m gonna fix us some lunch and we’ll talk later.”
    She just nods her head as I lie her down. She is beautiful. I look at her sleeping so peacefully, so soft. Why would someone purposely hurt her? Why would she believe the things he said about her?
    In the kitchen, I pull out what I’ll need to make us a couple of wraps for lunch. Shit. What can pregnant women eat?
    Pulling out my phone, I Google it.
    Holy shit! This is scary. Okay, I get the no raw meat, but deli meat? No fish, no seafood, and the list goes on and on. What in the hell do they expect her to eat? One website says it’s okay and another says it’s going to kill her or the baby.
    Okay, so grilled chicken with thoroughly washed vegetables it is.
    After I finish making our wraps, I take them to her room with a glass of milk. She is sitting up in bed staring off into space.
    “Hey, I thought you were sleeping?”
    She picks at the pillow in her lap. “I was, but I’ve got a lot on my mind.”
    “Here, I made you some lunch and brought you a glass of milk,” I say while handing her the plate.
    She sighs. “Thanks. I’m not really that hungry.”
    “Hey, you’ve got to eat. The baby needs it. I even Googled to see what you could and couldn’t eat so please, just try.”
    She nods and takes a small bite.
    “Kara, let me help you with this. Look at Huck and me. Elaine isn’t our blood relative, but we’d do more for her than
