Their daughter is born

This wasn’t at all how AJ had expected to spend the evening.

The moment Roan’s father and his father’s wife showed up, he’d known the shit was going to hit the fan. AJ knew what was going on thanks to all the conversations taking place between Gannon and Milly these days. To make a long story short, everyone was worried about Roan. After his sister’s death, he’d taken custody of Liam. During that time, he’d been fighting his father and stepmother because they didn’t believe Roan could be a good parent because he was gay. Yep. They were stupid, but whatever.

Of course, Roan was dealing with a romantic entanglement, as well, but denying that. Hence the reason everyone was worried about him. And they had every right to be.

“I think it’s best you leave,” AJ insisted, feeling Milly’s tension rise.

“We’re not—”

“Oh, God,” Milly groaned, clutching her big, round belly. “AJ. Ugh.” She moaned loudly, holding her stomach.

AJ’s gaze shot up to Daniel. “You take your wife and go right fucking now or I’ll escort you both to the street.”

Daniel looked almost apologetic when he nodded. His hand curled around Lydia’s arm as he led her away. AJ shut the door and turned to Milly.

“Sit down,” he ordered. “You need to relax.”

“You’re right,” she said in a pained whisper. “That’s what I need. Relax. I’ll just sit on the couch and we can watch a movie.”

He helped her to the sofa, keeping an eye on her every movement. Her forehead was creased and he suspected she wasn’t telling him everything. Of course, his heart was beating a million miles a minute. While she wasn’t due for a few more weeks…

“I’ll get you a glass of water,” he told her, not wanting her to see his concern.

“Thank you.” She leaned back against the cushions.

AJ went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass. He didn’t know his way around Roan’s house the way he did Milly’s but he figured it out quickly.

“AJ!” Milly screamed.

He dropped the glass into the sink with a loud clatter and raced into the living room. “What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

Milly was breathing hard, clutching her belly as she leaned over. “I’m in labor.”

Son of a bitch.

“Okay.” He thrust his hand through his hair. “All right. Well. We need to get you to the hospital.”

“You need to call Gannon.”

“Yes. I do. Wait. Why?”

“Because Liam’s here.”

Shit. Liam was there. “Right. I’ll call Gannon,” he assured her. “And then I’ll get Liam.”

“And his car seat,” Milly added.

“Yes, that, too.”

While he headed for Liam’s room, AJ reined in his panic and called Gannon. He had his phone number for exactly this reason. In case Milly went into labor when Gannon wasn’t around.

“Hey, man,” he said to Gannon when he answered. “We had a little snafu tonight.” Okay, maybe he sounded a little too carefree. “Roan’s dad and stepmonster—uh … I mean stepmom showed up. They caused a scene. Milly got a little miffed, told them off. Then, of course, she went into labor.
