I stumbled off the last step and nearly knocked O
Laughing, A
Still thrown off by the multiple recent shocks, I felt like I wasn’t understanding her words. “We made a baby onstage?” When she smiled and nodded, I looked around and shouted, “We made a baby onstage!”
Fans and crew members were still milling about, along with Liam and the guys, and the rest of my family was still in the audience, waiting to console me and congratulate Liam. They all looked my way after hearing my exclamation. I saw more than a few puzzled expressions, then my mom screamed, “I’m go
Exhilaration lifted me. I didn’t know what A
Liam left L.A. the same day I did, a few days after the contest ended. I’d wanted to leave earlier to be with A
Mom and Dad drove Liam and me to the airport. Mom went on and on about how proud she was of both of us. She started almost every sentence with “Now, I know you didn’t win, Griffin, but…” I wished she’d stop prefacing everything with those words. I was fine with the way everything had gone down. Liam was out of his freaking mind with cheer. He practically bounced off the walls in the car.
“We’re go
His excitement made me laugh. It reminded me of how I’d felt when the D-Bags had first gone on Justin’s tour. It was a high, that was for sure…but it was nothing compared to knowing that A
Once we got to the airport, Mom and Dad gave us goodbye hugs, wished us well, and begged for updates. Liam and I attracted attention as we walked through the halls, and quite a few people stopped to congratulate us. By the way they said it, you’d think we’d both won. Liam was gracious and at ease with his newfound fans. He was a natural at being a star. I knew he would be; it ran in the family.
Once we were boarded and resting in first class, compliments of the show, Liam closed his eyes. “I’m already exhausted,” he told me.
Shaking my head, I answered, “Better get used to it. It’s just going to get crazier.”
I texted A
Three hours later, I was walking into my new apartment. A modest two-bedroom place with the backside of a building as its only view. It was small. Pitifully small. But with Chelsey’s words ringing through my head, it felt massive. It felt like the largest, warmest, most wonderful place on earth…because my family was here.
A
“I thought that was you I heard banging stuff.”
My surprise blown, I looked over at my wife as I shut my daughters’ door. She’d just come out of our bedroom…and she was wearing her work uniform. My jaw dropped as I took in the tight, bright orange shorty shorts, and the tank top that was just opaque enough that I could have seen her bra underneath it…if she’d been wearing one.
“Oh…holy…fuck…” I muttered.
A
I pointed to the room she’d just stepped out of. “I need to be inside you, right now.” Unzipping my pants, I started heading her way. She giggled, then took off into our room. I had my shoes kicked off and my pants around my ankles by the time I got to the door. When I stepped inside, I closed the door, flung my jeans away and ripped off my shirt.
A
Giving my cock long, teasing strokes as I approached her, I murmured, “The Hulk will see you now…”
Chapter 28
Wi
Early in the morning, a couple of days later, I was tackled by two energetic little girls. Luckily I’d put some underwear on before falling asleep the night before. A
I let out a groaning laugh as Gibson jumped on me and O
“Good morning, babe,” I grumbled. Reaching down, I started tickling her. Her laugher woke me up better than coffee. I’d missed this. I pulled Gibson into my arms then pulled O

Gazing at her as I held my daughters close, I said, “I love these girls with all my heart, but you’re the best thing in my life. I’d be lost without you.” Thinking of the weeks we were apart, I frowned. “I was lost without you. Let’s never do that again, okay? Sink or swim, we make our fate together.”
The smile A
