Chapter 9

“It’s not quieting down, Alex,” Jamie said, dropping a magazine on the counter as she returned to the room after checking on the twins. “I picked this up at the grocery store today.”

LACEY RIKER STILL PERSUING PATERNITY, the headline read.

She dropped down to sit at the kitchen table. “We’re going to have to deal with it.”

“I am dealing with it,” Alex said, not looking up from the tomato he was slicing for sandwiches. “She can’t speak to us without my permission or a court order, and I’m not going to let her have either one.”

“I don’t think you can decide who does and doesn’t get a court order, Alex,” Jamie pointed out.

“No,” he agreed. “But a judge does, and I have an excellent legal team. Anyone she can afford isn’t going to get past them.”

“I wouldn’t bet on that,” Jamie said, standing up from the table again because she was too full of nervous energy to sit still. “Eventually a judge is going to hear her case, and they’re probably going to just tell you to take a paternity test anyway. If they don’t just tell you to pay up because you’re so rich, they don’t care if he’s actually your kid or not; they just know that you have the money. Child support is big business. You need to take the test now and nip the whole thing in the bud.”

“It’s not that big a deal, Jamie.” Alex finally looked up, and he wrapped a hand around her bicep to pull her gently in close to him. “Really.”

Jamie looked up at Alex’s handsome face, and thought about all the trouble they’d gone through with the press in the first year of their relationship. There was no reason to have to deal with all that again. And while she was a little relieved that no one was calling her a gold-digging whore again, she wasn’t going to just stand by and let them smear Alex.

“It is that big a deal,” she said, and when Alex just looked at her she pulled away from his touch. “I mean it,” she said. “You have to get the test.”

He opened his mouth to answer, and was interrupted by the sudden sound of crying through the baby monitor. It was about time to feed the twins. Jamie sighed and went to get them. If he wasn’t going to listen to her, what was she supposed to do? Steal some of his hair while he was sleeping? That seemed a little too creepy, even for someone who was married to the person they planned on stealing hair from. Besides, she didn’t know how a paternity test actually worked, aside from the obvious. Maybe they needed a swab from his cheek or something like they were always taking on cop shows, which she wouldn’t have been watching except that the twins were keeping her too busy to get any real work done, and Christine hadn’t really been up to babysitting since their mother’s unexpected return to town.
