New Year’s Eve was normally fairly boring for us. J was starting to get to the point where she wanted to spend all her time with friends instead of her dad and me, but X was still resisting letting her out on a night known for drinking and letting go of inhibitions. He would know since he met her mother on New Year’s Eve.

A quiet night at home felt like exactly what I needed after the whirlwind with Finley. Too bad J was in the mood to fight with her dad.

“I don’t know why you treat me like I’m a little kid. I am not stupid,” she yelled as I walked into the suite.

“I never said you were. I don’t trust other people.”

“Then let me have a party here,” J argued.

It had been a discussion for years. She wanted to use one of the rooms in the hotel for a party, whether a birthday party so they could sleepover and use the pool or a New Year’s party or something else. She wanted to invite friends over and use the hotel. I told X I didn’t have a problem with it. He did.

“Inviting your friends to stay here is a huge invasion on Uncle Trent, J. We already take too much from him living here. If we had our own place, renting a room here wouldn’t feel like as big of a deal.”

My heart stopped at his words. I never wanted them to feel like a burden. And I never wanted them to move out. Just the idea of it made my chest all tight and uncomfortable.

“Uncle T said what’s his is ours, Dad. Why can’t I ask him? Just once.”

“It’s too late tonight,” X said.

J sighed heavily. “Yeah, yeah. You always say that. Argue with me until it’s too late to do anything about it.”

That was even worse. This wasn’t the first time they had the same conversation. Not by a long shot it sounded.

“Look, J, I know this is your normal and your life, and I’m forever grateful to Trent for bringing us in here and helping me when you were a baby and letting us stay here, but one day he might have his own family. I’m trying to be prepared for the day when he has a kid, maybe a wife one day, and we need to move out. Trent doesn’t owe us a place to live.”

“Do you think he’d do that?”

“For his own family? Why wouldn’t he?”

I couldn’t stay silent and pretend I wasn’t there for another minute. I moved past the entryway and into the living room, answering X’s question.

“You two are my family. You have been my family forever, and you always will be. You will always have a home here.”

“Trent, you know you can’t say that,” X argued. His steady stare told me he was already playing things forward to when the baby was born and the test revealed what I was convinced it would reveal. I would have my own baby. And in a three-bedroom condo, where would it stay?

“None of that matters.
