“She said she wouldn’t shut me out.”

Angry, inpatient, even scared, I paced the locker room after practice, trying to get Ellie to answer her cell. She ignored my voicemails and texts, not replying to either one. While I agreed to give her time, she agreed we needed to see one another.

So where did this agreement go wrong?

My fear growing, I shoved my phone into my coat pocket, and stalked naked into the showers. As I lathered my body to wash the stink of my sweat off, I considered going over to Ellie’s apartment and banging on her door. The hour was late, but I knew she worked her freelance job until eleven or midnight.

She’ll be pissed if I do that right now. I’ll see her in the morning.

“Dude,” someone snickered.

I glanced over at the occupant of the next shower to find Devon grinning at me.

“How’s things with the ‘lil lady?” he asked.

I growled under my breath, looking around for anyone close enough to overhear. “Use a bullhorn next time.”

“Oh. Sorry.”

“You know how these assholes gossip.”

Devon grimaced. “Yeah. Is everything okay? You look uptight.”

After another glance around for eavesdroppers, I said, fast and low, “She’s pregnant.”

Busy washing his face, Devon sputtered soap from his lips and blinked. By his sharp yelp of pain, he got some in both eyes.

He rinsed quickly, then squinted at me. “Holy God. Are you okay with that?”

“Yeah, if it’s mine.”

“Jesus.”

He continued to scrub while I shut my spray off and began to towel dry. Leaving the showers, I wrapped the towel around my waist, then fetched my street clothes from my locker.

As I dressed, Devon joined me, as his locker was opposite mine, and murmured, “Want to have a quick drink?”

I nodded without turning. “Yeah. I could use an ear.”

“Fortunately, I’ve got two.”

At the same pub, served by the same bartender, we both ordered beer. Over the bottles, I told him about Ellie, Colton, and which of us might be the baby’s dad.

Devon listened with incredulity and a whole lot of sympathy. “I guess Colton doesn’t know?”

“No, unless Ellie told him. I doubt it since she can’t stand him.”

“And you both, er, had sex around the same time?”

I moodily drank from my bottle. “Sounds like it.”

“Sorry, bro, but this is a fucked-up mess. You have to figure out who the dad is.”

“How do I do that? I’m shooting a full load, and I’m sure Colton is too.

Devon drank, then put his bottle down to signal the bartender for another round. Neither of us spoke until the big, tatted guy dropped fresh bottles on little napkins, took our money and departed.

At last, Devon shrugged. “Keep it simple then, bro.”

“By doing what?”

“Claim the baby’s yours no matter what. Be its dad. Don’t let Colton even think there’s a possibility he might have skin in this game.”

I swallowed my fresh beer, thinking. “That isn’t a bad idea. If Ellie is willing to go along with it that is.”

“If the baby has dark hair, he’s yours for sure. Blond, maybe Colton’s.
