Danielle's eyes bugged as she curled beside me on the sofa, coffee mug in hand. "Oh my God, please tell me all of the tea, I have to know what happened."

I wasn't going to say anything about Cason showing up at my work, but maintaining any sense of privacy around my current situation was nearly impossible. Sloane had already told Darby, and Darby had told Danielle that if I needed emotional support, I would have it, seeing as Darby was out of town.

My little posse had become fiercely protective. My little Bambino would have a handful of dedicated aunties, which was great, except I wasn't used to all of this attention, which was a bit overwhelming.

I tried to downplay the situation. "It was okay but I was tired and cranky and my back hurt so I might not have been as nice as I should have been. I basically told him he didn't need to worry about me coming after him for any kind of support because I wasn't interested in having him be involved. I let him off the hook, and I hope that'll be the end of it but I am prepared to draw up paperwork so that he can sign away paternity."

Danielle frowned in surprise. "He was willing to sign away paternity? What a jerk."

"No, no," I quickly corrected Danielle, "I want him to sign away paternity. The last thing I need is somebody blaming me for trapping Cason into some kind of support situation because of his football career. It's better this way for everyone involved, and honestly, my mom was a single mom, and I think I'll be just fine."

Danielle nodded, but she seemed unsure. "Yeah but if he wants to be a dad, why would you not want him to be a part of the baby's life?"

I shifted against the prick of discomfort, surprised by Danielle's question. "Lots of people think they want to be a parent and then the reality is so much different. My dad talked a big game but then he bailed when I was a year old. I'm not going to have that happen to my kid. It's best to just start off on the right foot."

"How do you know that about your dad? You were a baby when he left."

"Well, my mom told me," I answered, adding, "and he clearly wasn't a part of my life so his absence verified what my mom said about him."

"Maybe," she said. "Or maybe your mom made it so he wasn't welcome."

Where was this coming from? "No, my mom wasn't like that. Trust me, I'm sure she would've liked having a partner."

Danielle nodded but still pressed her point. "Yeah, I get that but it seems kind of unfair to judge Cason by your dad's actions when he's a totally different person. You might be cutting a good person out of your kid's life because you're acting from a wounded place in your own childhood."

I stared, dumbfounded. Had Danielle just dropped some quality psychology
