Nine

Nic climbed into his car and roared out of the parking lot with no intention of stopping until he was several miles away from Desi Maddox and the Los Angeles Times. Running might be a juvenile reaction, but if he’d stood there arguing with her for much longer he would have said something he regretted. And since she was the mother of his child—his child—that didn’t seem like the best course of action. For any of their sakes.

For once, LA traffic cooperated with him and as he sped through the streets he tried to calm down, tried to wrap his head around the fact that not only had he found Desi after all these months, but that he was also about to become a father. A father. The word reverberated in his head, the weight of it pressing in on him from all sides.

In a little less than five months, he would be a father. To a bouncing baby boy. And then what? He didn’t know the first thing about parenting. How could he, when his own father had set such a shiningly bad example?

Then again, maybe Nic knew more than he thought. If he just did the opposite of everything his own father had done, he could probably win a father-of-the-year award.

He kept driving, sliding his Porsche in and out of traffic as he tried not to panic. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to parent his son, wasn’t that he was afraid of the responsibility of it. Because he wasn’t—no matter what Desi had concocted in her head about him being a soulless monster with a Peter Pan complex. That wasn’t the case. He was more than willing to step up to the plate here, more than willing to take care of his child.

He was just terrified of screwing it up. Of making mistakes that hurt his kid the way his father had hurt him and Marc. He didn’t want to do that. Didn’t want to be the guy who let his family down over and over and over again.

Lost in thought, he cruised through a yellow light as it turned red. Horns blared at him from both sides of the cross-traffic, and he waved a hand in silent apology even as he decided he should probably pull over before he caused an accident.

Griffith Park and Observatory was only a couple of blocks ahead of him, so he angled his way through traffic, moving to the right lane so he could make the turn into the parking lot. But once there, he couldn’t just sit. His thoughts were too momentous, too overwhelming. He needed to be doing something or he would be crushed under the weight of them.

He climbed out of the car and headed for the park. If nothing else, he could walk. Nothing like a shot of nature in the middle of a crowded city to help a guy clear his head.

But as he walked, things only got more muddled. Oh, not the fact that he was going to be a father to this baby.
