“My past is a little checkered.” - Kid Rock
Bryce
October 16th
Fuck me for trying to wrap my head around this and not be the total dick I wanted to be. When Mandy showed up yesterday afternoon, big round belly and a black eye to boot, my first thought was to send her on her way and remind her of just how many dudes she’d hooked up with over the past year. At least that’s what the rumor mill had said. Hell, I’d seen her with different guys at the few parties I’d gone to before they’d gotten really lame. They weren’t the same as the D.C. parties I’d been used to, but the point was, yeah, she’d gotten around.
Randy Sheldon, Marcus Dean, Sami Lee. I’m sure there were others. But the truth was, if there was a miniscule chance—and there was—that I was the father, I wasn’t raised to point fingers elsewhere until I knew the absolute truth. And I would know the truth. I’d made that perfectly clear to Mandy.
“Well, well, well, Bryce. Nice little set-up you’ve got going here,” she said, rubbing her rounded belly with her right hand, looking around my cottage. “I think we can both be comfortable here for now.”
“First things first, Mandy,” I said. “We’re gonna talk. I’ve got questions. I need answers.”
“Sure thing, sugar,” she replied, flopping down on the couch in the living room. “Ask away. I’ve got nothing to hide. Well, except for my feet which are getting harder and harder to see from up here. But no worries. You’ve got a New Year’s present coming Bryce. The Santa Stork is bringing us a baby after the first of the year! Cheers!”
And for the next hour I grilled her with questions that anybody in my predicament would have. It wasn’t pretty.
“How do I know the baby is mine?”
“Why did you wait so long to tell me?”
“Where did you get the black eye?”
“Why are you here?”
“What are your plans?”
“What do you expect from me?”
“Are you keeping the baby?”
“Did you tell my parents about this?”
Her answers ranged from:
“I’m not a whore Bryce; the rubber came off, remember?”
“The reason I waited was at first I considered abortion; and then I considered adoption, and now I’ve decided to keep it so it’s time I brought you into the loop. And you disappeared so it wasn’t like I saw you around town, you know?”
“My father gave me the black eye. He isn’t pleased with the situation.”
“I’m here because I’ve got nowhere else to go. Been kicked out of my house. I’m over eighteen. My parents have no legal responsibility anymore and they made that all perfectly clear.”
“My plans are to find a local OB-GYN. I’ve got a medical card and I get food stamps, so I can help out, you know, until the baby’s born? After that I’ll get a job. You’ll pay child support, and I’ll get out of your hair…I mean, if that’s what you want. At the minimum, I expect you to take financial responsibility, do your part.
