Ex-Con: Bad Boy Romance

I’m still not quite sure when it turned into a book.

For the past six months, I’ve been able to speak just fine without having to resort to writing anything complicated out first. Right up until last night, that is.

Last night, Carly stu

I listen and my heart begins to beat faster.

She’s coming up the stairs now. I can hear her, and I’m about to finish this up, but I need to get this down first.

That bombshell she dropped on me last night? I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it, but I’m not quite so speechless anymore.

A baby.

Carly’s pregnant.

I’m going to be a dad.

And this time, I can actually be there.

The door opens. I can see her in the mirror now, leaning against the door and smiling at me. “Eric is here with Haley, baby.”

I nod at her as I finish wrapping things up.

Haley is the other bright and beautiful spot in my life. Eric, the man who adopted my little girl all those years ago, is a great guy. He’s her dad and there’s no denying that. When, after I woke up, she asked if she could meet me, he told her absolutely. Now we see each other twice a month. One Saturday here, one Saturday up in Monterey. Yeah, some people might not think it’s a lot, but it’s more than I ever expected to have.

She was there when Carly and I got married. Impatient as always, Carly asked me before I even got out of the hospital. I made her wait until I could stand up and watch her walk down the aisle.

And Haley held the flowers for her.

In a few minutes, we’re going to tell the kid about the baby we’ll be having in a few months.

Haley is going to tease me again, about some stupid article or other that she cut out of the paper about me. It’s her thing. She collects them and teases me about being her hero. Sometimes I wonder just how long the media is going to milk it.

I’m no hero.

I’m just a lucky son of a bitch.

“You coming, Bobby?”

I study the screen a minute longer.

Then I nod. “Yeah.”

The past is recorded and it’s time for it to stay in the past. I’ve got the rest of my life to think about now. My life with Carly and our child. With my daughter. With all of the people who care about me.

With the one thing I’d never thought I’d have.

My family.
