CHAPTER 7

Petey

As he came downstairs, he heard Lager's laughter fill the house. That wasn't too unusual. Well, it was less common than it had been when he first moved in with the Lagers.

It didn't take a genius to know that Dr. Leah had spent the night after their date and she was the source of his happiness.

In the kitchen, Petey got himself a meal going with almond butter and bananas on toast. He looked in the living room and saw Lager and his son eating breakfast. While Lager himself was on the oversized couch, his son was standing beside him. They were in sync, even down to turning the spoon upside down when the yogurt hit their mouth.

"He's really your mini-me. It's scary how much you two are alike."

Lager beamed with pride when he looked down at his son. He loved being a dad more than anything, and he'd needed a little help lately to keep things running smoothly at his house. Petey also loved the kid.

Klaus looked over to Petey and said, "That's 'cause I want to be like Papa when I grow up."

"Do you?" he asked in mock astonishment. The kid was constantly playing hockey, down to the same position and style as his dad. "I would have never guessed."

"Yup." Then Klaus changed the subject. "You need a girlfriend, Uncle Petey."

Lager chuckled, but Petey was dumbfounded. How did the little kid come to the conclusion he needed a girlfriend? It was bad enough that the guys on the team kept teasing him about the sudden bunny interest and the lack of a girlfriend. Add in the pressure from his father and it was enough to get a complex.

It was one of the few times Petey needed to know how Klaus had actually come to that conclusion. "Why do you say that?"

In between bites of yogurt, the kid recited, "'Cause Uncle Scotty has Aunt Alice, Uncle Corey has Jenna, Mutti has Toli, and Papa has Dr. Leah."

It seemed like the little one understood what his dad was up to with Leah. It was so silly how both he and his dad called her Dr. Leah rather than just Leah. It just seemed so proper, and she was too much fun for such a serious title all the time.

Although knowing that Klaus should be more or less oblivious to the true nature of why people coupled up, Petey asked, "What about you?"

The kid had gumption and said, "I have Lexi. She's a girl and my friend."

Petey had to stick a hand to his face to keep the kid from seeing him laughing. Of course, he would talk about Scotty's baby girl. Klaus was infatuated with the baby.

Lager didn't even try to hide the fact that he was laughing at his son's choice of girlfriend as he said, "Sounds like he has you there."

Petey leaned down to look Klaus in the eyes. "What if I told you I might have a girlfriend too?"

The kid's eyes grew wide. "Really? Who is she?"

Petey was so tempted to tell him to take a guess.
