‘Jesus Christ!’ Paul exclaimed.

‘Jesus Christ!’ I shouted.

‘Jesus Christ! Are you serious? Is it true?’ Charlie whooped.

‘Jesus Christ! This family just gets weirder,’ Sarah said.

‘I’m going to be a daddy.’ Charlie jumped up and hugged Nadia.

‘Seriously, Charlie, you’ll be, like, a hundred when the kid is fifteen,’ Sarah pointed out, maths never being her strong point.

‘There’s life in the old dog yet.’ Charlie grinned.

‘My sixty-eight-year-old father is going to have a baby. Well, that’s fan-fucking-tastic. Can this day get any better?’

‘Why you no happy for me?’ Nadia snapped. ‘I make you daddy happy man. I giff him sex, luff and now a baby.’

‘When is this baby due?’ I asked. It could be a ploy to extract money from him. She could be lying.

‘I not know. I only do test today. I go to doctor tomorrow. I fery happy.’

‘So am I.’ Charlie kissed her.

‘I can’t deal with this right now.’ I got up to leave the room.

‘A bit of enthusiasm wouldn’t go amiss,’ Charlie muttered. ‘You always said you’d love a sister or brother.’

‘WHEN I WAS SEVEN! I’m sorry, Charlie, but I’m finding it difficult to get excited about the prospect of my father siring a half-sister or -brother four decades younger than me. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now.’

‘It’ll give us all a lift to have a baby in the house,’ Charlie replied.

‘IT’S INSANE!’ I shouted, grabbing my coat and keys and storming out of the door.
