"So you can't get pregnant?" Geo asked.
"No." I shook my head.
"Damn, so why we not fucking right now?" He said, making me bust out laughing.
"I cannot go another round if I wanted to." I chuckled.
"Want me to eat it?" He asked.
"No, I don't." I shook my head. "I'm cool." I shrugged.
Just then, the door opened and Gen walked in, getting in the bed between us.
"This is just like old times." She smiled widely. "Remember when I used to sleep with you guys?" She asked.
"Yeah, but you're not sleeping with us tonight. I'm tryna be under your momma, so get out." Geo shrugged.
"Wow." She shook her head. "You get Mom back and you don't know how to act. Stunting like you ain't know I never left. I was always team you, Dad. I guess you don't appreciate that." She worked at guilt tripping him.
"It's not working." He shrugged.
"I'm just playing, Dad. I know that you miss Mom. You have for a long time. That's why I gave you her number." She shrugged. "Sorry Mom." She apologized to me. "But I couldn't watch Daddy miss you a second longer."
"But what if I never wanted to speak to him?" I questioned.
"At least he would've been able to hear your voice one more time at least." She smiled. "And besides, Krys and Lia were going to take a risky route." She explained. "One of them was going to invite Dad out and the other was going to invite you, Mom, but they were both not going to show up and let you deal with each other." She shrugged.
Geo and I laughed a bit at the crazy plan.
"Yeah, so in the case that it got tensed and you two ended up arguing or something, at least with my plan, it would've hurt less over the phone and Daddy would've been prepared for it."
"I appreciate it, baby girl." Geo praised her. "Now scram. I'm trying to enjoy my wife."
"Ruin everything, Dad." She huffed as she slid off of the bed.
"I love you." He called after her.
"I love you too." She called back. "Love you, Mom." She called to me.
"I love you, baby." I said right before she closed the door.
"Now we could finally cuddle." Geo said as he got up under me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. "I love you, Jules." He mumbled.
"Love you too, handsome."

"So you broke up with her?" Brianna asked after I told her all that went down between Cam and I earlier today.
I was over at her house and we were chilling in her bedroom since her mom was out and all.
We were laid up on the bed and she was laying with her head on my chest.
"Yeah, I did." I sighed. "I don't think it's worth it anymore."
"I understand." She shrugged.
"You've never been in a relationship. How do you understand?" I asked.
"It's not rocket science, Krys." She huffed. "If I loved someone and they kept doing wrong by me, then eventually I would leave too."
Love? I didn't love Cam.
"Who said that I loved her?" I asked.
"Well, it seemed to me like that's what it was." She shrugged.
"I didn't love Cam." I informed her.
