CHAPTER 8

HUGO

“Mr. Todd, will you stay until after I have my bath so you can listen to Daddy read me a bedtime story tonight? You’ll like it, he does all the voices.” Simon had been over the moon about having Todd over for dinner tonight and was reluctant to let him leave.

I wasn’t sure when I would tell him the news about the baby, but I figured the first step was to make Todd a fixture in his daily life. We still hadn’t had our first date and I supposed that was probably kinda weird. We’d gone from having a one-night stand to having a boss and employee relationship to being friends to now having a baby on the way. But hey, life happens and I’d always found it worked best to just roll with things as they came along—especially the good things like babies and hot omegas.

Todd shot me a questioning look and I nodded my encouragement. “You should totally stay, Todd. Simon is right, I do pull off some pretty kick-ass voices, if I say so myself—and I do. He’s taking a bath in a few minutes here because bedtime is in half an hour, so it won’t be long.” Todd nodded agreeably and picked up a puzzle piece.

Simon giggled at hearing me say a bad word. Before I could address that and drop a dollar in the swear jar, there was a knock at the door. I started to get up from the table where we were working a jigsaw puzzle, but the door flew open and banged against the wall as Victoria came stumbling in with an armful of gift bags and wrapped presents.

“Sorry to just bust in on you, darlings, but the door was unlocked and it’s a tit-bit nipply outside.” Victoria laughed bawdily and dropped her armload on the coffee table before looking over at the three of us. Her eyebrows shot up at the sight of Todd, but she ignored him and beckoned for Simon.

“Mommy is so sorry that she missed your birthday, pumpkin. I had a business meeting nearby so I thought this would be a great time to bring you your gifts and some treats.” She shook a large bag of candy and waved at the pile of gifts. “Have at it, pumpkin. It’s all for you—Mommy spares no expense when it comes to her boy.”

When Simon raced to throw his arms around her waist, she almost lost her balance on the high heels was wearing. She laughed as she gave him a quick hug and handed him the candy. “Gracious, you’re getting so big and strong. You almost knocked your mommy over, silly pumpkin. Go ahead, enjoy your birthday treats.”

I was happy to see her stepping up and Simon so thrilled, until I saw the skeptical expression on Todd’s face. “Is everything okay?” I asked softly.

“That depends on your definition of okay.” Todd shook his head and rose. “I’m just going to let you guys visit. I’m getting kind of tired anyway.
