Reina's POV
Three buckets of paint. One pink, one white, and one blue. I swiped the sweat off of my forehead and rested the paintbrush on the plastic tarp on the floor. Turning the fan on high I stepped back to admire the room.
Baby Mason's room was coming together great. It was at the far end of the hall and any of the other girls who lived in the rooms next door were relocated to another house, still part of Jack's "business" or so he called it.
I walked into the next room and turned on the light, seeing 'Charlotte' in white block letters on the wall.
"Thanks for helping out" Jack said from behind me. I jumped and turned around saw how happy he looked.
"Your welcome, but I didn't do this for you. I did it for the babies" I replied.
"I know."
After a few seconds of comfortable silence I walked back into Mason's room and turned the fan off.
"Hey there's a class on how to change a baby's diaper and how to properly bathe a baby and I'd like it if you came with me?" Jack asked quietly.
"I'd rather spend a year of my life in a prostitution ring" I joked while nudging him on the shoulder.
His jaw clenched and I could see his body getting tense.
"Relax Jack, it's a joke not a dick don't take it too hard" I replied stepping away from him.
"Yeah, well you're about to take this dick hard" he replied smiling
My eyes widened and my face got red. He walked slowly over to me and pressed me against the wall. Gently kissing me he started to unbutton my flannel. Then he started to walk away from me laughing.
I was really confused until I realized he just pressed me against a wall with wet paint.
"Gilinksy!" I yelled and and chased him out of the room.
I followed him downstairs into the backyard, where most of the girls were. Madison was in the water, in a black bathing suit that really showed off her bump. She smiled when she saw us and waved.
I waved back and saw Jack looking at something in the distance.
"What are you looking at?"
"Come 'ere" he said while lightly tugging at my hand and guiding me over to the side of the house. A folded piece of paper was flapping in the wind, stuck between the fence. He grabbed it and opened it.
Reina your brother's dead
I gasped as Jack re-read the note.
"Probably one of the girls he trying to make you upset don't worry about it" he said as he wrapped his arms around me.
"No, no why would someone write that?" I asked getting emotional.
"I don't know baby" he whispered, rubbing my back.
"Jack!" Emma yelled while running over to us, holding her belly.
"Madison's water broke"
