Cruel Birth Control

“H-holy cow,” Katie says through her wide open mouth. I chalk exhaustion up to the lack of filter. If the mansion wasn’t enough of a shock, the second her eyes land on my housemate she seems to lose coherent thought. She nearly drops the car seat hooked on her arm, and Cooper is quick to relieve her of it.

“Nice to meet you,” he says, then turns that fun-loving, adorable grin to the almost two-month-old in the car seat. “And you too, little man.”

Katie chokes on what could only be air, and I’m sure Jim would call her out on the gawking if he wasn’t doing the same thing to the TV.

I bite back a laugh at their reactions, wondering if that is exactly how I looked when I first saw Cooper… and the TV, for that matter.

Claire seems to be the only one capable of saying anything, and with one hand clinging to Jim and the other pointing straight up at Cooper, she says, “Kitty!”

Cooper’s brows bunch, and he whips around. “Where?” I stifle my laughter, a snort rumbling my nose at his overreaction. He still hasn’t gotten used to Tom and Kat and has done his best to avoid them entirely. That’s going to change at some point during this experiment, I’m sure of it.

Katie lets out a shaky laugh that seems to takes her out of her daze. “Sorry. She’s not used to seeing facial hair.”

Jim tears his eyes from the TV to give his wife a look. My brother has been a giant supporter of the fresh face, mostly for the hygienic aspect. He’s a bit OCD, and any sprout of fuzz along his chin causes his mind to get extremely itchy.

Cooper grins, crouching down to settle the car seat on the floor and get eye level with my niece. “You like kitties?”

“No!”

He faux gasps, then sticks his bottom lip out in a playful pout. I really do wish him luck; that girl will not be warming up to anyone anytime soon.

Claire sticks her tongue out and blows a wet raspberry, then scurries past us to destroy whatever room she finds first, singing a song in a language that I swear isn’t English.

“Claire Liza Baker!” Katie sighs, dropping the diaper bag to the ground. “I’m so sorry,” she apologizes to Cooper. I raise an eyebrow because she’s never apologized for Claire’s behavior around me, but perhaps that’s because I’m family.

Cooper waves her off, straightening from his crouch. “That’s pretty polite for a two-year-old from what I’ve heard.”

A crash sounds from the back hallway, and my brother rushes off to see what sort of trouble Claire’s causing. I reach for the good child before I get stuck dealing with the other one. Cooper wants kids? Claire may convince him otherwise, and I’ll prove my point without uttering a single word.

“There should be enough milk in there for the day,” Katie says as I unbuckle the sweet, quiet, little boy. I may not want babies, but they have the best smell.
