Meeting Bridget

Sitting here in my brothers apartment across from his baby mama, was very awkward. She was pretty, for sure. But she's something I would never picture to be with Mav.

She had bright blue eyes and vibrant red hair just as Maverick told me. She was wearing a teal shirt that showed a little bit of her small bump. Her jeans fit her like a second skin. Is it good for the baby to be squished by such constricting pants?

"So I got some waters, one for you-" Maverick handed me a bottled water, "and one for you." He also handed on to Bridget.

"Thank you." We said at the same time.

"Now, I'd like you two to meet each other formally. Since you're both tied to me and. . . I feel we should all get along for the child's sake." I nodded at Maverick and Bridget followed my actions.

"So, Bridget this is my younger sister Peyton, Peyton this is Bridget." I held my hand out for her to take and she hesitated a little, but did anyways.

"Nice to properly meet you. I must say that this meeting was unexpected, but I'm glad I get to match a name to a face." I smiled at her. She smiled a little and looked at Maverick.

"I can say the same, I just want you to understand that I didn't mean for this to happen. I would never try and trap someone, I want you to understand that I'm not a money hungry skank or whatever you may think. But I have considered the other options. . . But decided against it." She reassured me. Maverick looked out the window.

"I'm glad you did." I say after a few minutes. She looks at me with wide eyes.

"That I did what?" She stuttered.

"Chose against the other options. I'm glad you're keeping it. I'll have a niece or nephew in like. . . Six, seven months." She beamed at me.

"Six months, I'm due in six months." I smiled at her.

"What do you want the baby to be?" I found myself asking.

"A little girl, I never wanted boys but now that I'm actually having a baby, I'd be happy with either." I nod.

"What about you Maverick? Boy or girl?" I asked.

"Boy. So he can take my place as head of the company when he gets older." His answer was clipped, I could tell he still didn't want this baby. Should've wrapped it before ya tapped it, bro.

"Well, I want a nephew, sorry Bridget." I chucked. "I want what my brother wants," she smiled and nodded.

"Where do you live Bridget?"

"I live in a small house just out of the city. But not to far out." I nodded.

"Will the baby live with you?"

"Yes," she answered.

"No." Maverick replied at the same time.

Bridget narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms. "No. It will be with me." She said. I leaned back in my chair and looked at the pair. Mavericks dark green eyes stared coldly at Bridget.

"Well. . . I didn't mean to cause trouble by asking that. Let's not hash it out right now, okay?" I asked. Bridget stood up and pushed in her chair.

"Sorry Peyton, but I must be leaving now. I have to be at my sisters house soon and I can't be late." I stood also, getting very annoyed at this woman.

"Okay Bridget listen. If you're pissed at the fact that my brother wants custody of his baby then you are acting very immature about it. Don't make petty excuses and try to leave. It isn't just your baby it's also Mavericks. This wasn't planned for him and maybe it was for you. Who knows. But he doesn't want a relationship with you. You were a one night stand and no offense but and easy fuck. Then, oops you got knocked up. You wouldn't be the first one to get pregnant at a one night stand. He doesn't want you but he wants this baby. Be grateful for that. It's not about you, it's about the baby." I narrowed my eyes at her and she shrunk a bit in size. Maverick stood next to me and eyed Bridget.

"Y-you'd be lucky if I didn't take your brother to court for custody!" She snapped. I laughed.

"Try it honey, my brother has the best lawyers so take your best shot. That's not wise if you want any part of this baby's life after it's born. Cause he could get full custody and you know it." She huffed and walked towards the door.

"My appointment is in Monday at three - fifteen. Don't be late." Then she stormed out.

I turned to look at my big brother. "Out of all the fucking women in the world you had to knock her up?" He chuckled as we both walked towards the couch.

"Tell me about it."

Later that evening I drove home. Theo and Mateo finally finished it. They also gave it a name. Sally. What kind of name is Sally?

It was about six in the evening when my phone started ringing, I quickly looked down  and noticed it was Theo.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey babe, what are you doing?" Good thing he couldn't see me cause I was blushing like a fool.

"Driving back from my brothers house, what about you?" I asked as I stopped at a red light.

"Just sitting here, I should let you go then so you can focus on driving." Theo told me, I rolled my eyes and started going again as the light turned green.

"I'll be fine Theo, don't worry. It's not like you're sitting right here next to me, that would be distracting," he gave a little chuckle.

"I am not distracting," he denied. I laughed as I felt my phone vibrate.

I pulled my phone away from my ear and looked quickly. Cam texted me.

Camryn: We have to talk about you and Theo. . . Don't think I didn't hear you two horn dogs last night. ;) poor Javi.

My face turned fifty shades of red and I quickly looked back up again.

"Listen to this, Cam just texted me," I read off the message my face still aflame.

"Are you going to get an intermission?" Theo asked.

"Probably. Actually no, she's going to want all the dirty little details cause she's a pervert." I rolled my eyes at the memory of last time.

"Really? I wouldn't picture Camryn as the perverted type,"

"Yeah well, people aren't always what they seem," fuck you Bridget.
