“It’s getting late.” Bobby was standing in the doorway of Cheryl’s bedroom, holding a beer. He’d been watching a game on TV in the living room. “Let’s go to my place.”

Cheryl laughed like she couldn’t believe he’d made the suggestion. “Are you kidding?” Rosario was lying on the bed playing with a bracelet. “Don’t you see this package of huge responsibility lying in front of me?” she asked, starting to change the little girl’s diaper.

“Yeah, I see it,” he grumbled. He’d been forced to amuse himself most of the evening because Cheryl had been so busy with Rosario. He’d done a decent job of biting his tongue to this point, but now the game was over and he was getting frustrated. Since the baby had shown up, they’d had sex only once. “How could I miss it?”

“It’s good practice,” she said maternally. “I get to see how you’ll be as a daddy.”

He took a gulp of beer, then glanced warily over his shoulder back down the narrow hallway. “Your father’s gonna be here anytime. Then the fun’ll really be over.”

“Oh, don’t complain so much,” Cheryl scolded good-naturedly, finishing the diaper change. “You’re a bigger baby than Rosario.”

“Why don’t you bring her with us?” Bobby suggested. “She’ll be fine. We can set her up on my couch. We’ll put some pillows around her, and she’ll be right at home. Snug as a bug in a rug.”

“I don’t think so.”

Bobby made a face at the baby. “Shouldn’t she be asleep by now?”

“She’s had the sniffles the past couple of days, and it’s put her off her schedule.”

“Poor thing,” he muttered sarcastically. “Well, it’s put me off my schedule, too.”

Cheryl gathered Rosario in her arms and moved toward the door. “Sometimes we all have to make sacrifices.” She raised up on her tiptoes and gave Bobby a quick kiss on the cheek. “I love you.” Then she slipped past him and headed for the kitchen. “I’m going to fix her another bottle. Maybe she’ll go down after that. Then we can have some alone time.”

“This is your brother’s kid?” Bobby asked, following Cheryl to the kitchen. “That’s what you said, right?”

“Uh-huh,” she answered hesitantly. “Daddy and I are taking care of her while David and his wife are on a cruise.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. The ship left from Miami. They flew in here from New York, dropped Rosario off, then drove over there.”

Bobby sat down at the kitchen table, in the seat beside Rosario’s high chair. He made another face at the little girl. A friendlier one this time because Cheryl was looking. “Thanks for screwing up my sex life, kid.”

“Don’t talk to her like that.”

Bobby cocked his head to one side. “She looks kind of…well…Hispanic, if you ask me.” He gestured toward the living room. “Your brother’s wife doesn’t look Hispanic in any of those pictures.”

“They adopted her,” Cheryl explained, shaking the bottle. “David’s wife can’t have children.” She slipped the nipple into Rosario’s mouth, and her face lit up when the little girl grabbed the plastic bottle with her tiny fingers and held it herself.
